Chapter 817 Your Words Are More Damaging

In the midst of the heated argument, he suddenly said something that struck her deeply. His words

were like a sharp knife, cutting through her heart and leaving a deep wound.

She couldn't help but feel hurt and angry at his words. How could he say such things to her? Didn't he

know how much they would hurt?

But as she thought about it more, she realized that his words were not meant to harm her. He was

simply expressing his own feelings and frustrations in the heat of the moment.

Despite this realization, however, she couldn't shake off the pain caused by his words. They lingered in

her mind long after their argument had ended.

It wasn't until later that she realized just how powerful his words had been. They had cut through all of

her defenses and exposed vulnerabilities that she hadn't even known existed.

In a way, though painful at first, this experience helped her grow stronger and more resilient. She

learned to be more mindful of what others say to her and how it affects her emotions.

And while their relationship may have been strained for a time after their argument, they eventually

reconciled thanks in part to their newfound understanding of each other's communication styles.

Overall, she came out stronger from this experience, and learned an important lesson about

communication: our words can have immense power over others, whether we intend them to or not.

Asking Zane in the car was just Yanis's way of finding an excuse or reason to ease her mind. She could

tell that Zane wanted children, but thinking about her own situation made Yanis feel low and a sense of

indescribable loss weighed heavily on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. She sat there for a

while before finally getting up and heading upstairs.

...

Deep in Dream.

Phoebe sat at the booth and glanced at the time - it had been twenty minutes since Zane hung up the

phone with her. It shouldn't take more than twenty minutes to get from D-king Castle over here. Just as

Phoebe was about to call Zane again, she looked up and saw him walking towards them from one side.

Putting down her phone, Phoebe waved at Zane as he approached. He walked over and took a seat

next to her.

Phoebe had already had a few drinks by then; she looked flushed with obvious signs of being drunk.

"Brother, over here!" she called out loudly so that Zane could hear.

Zane glanced at Phoebe before taking his seat beside hers. "Why are you here alone?" he asked.

Phoebe giggled drunkenly,"Enjoying life."

She raised her hand to signal for the waiter who brought over another glass of alcohol for Zane without

asking him first."Brother, we haven't drank together yet! Let's have some tonight! If your wife scolds you

later on I'll explain everything!"

Zane gave Phoebe a look before accepting the drink,"Didn't you say there was something important

you wanted me to know?"

"Drink first! We can talk after!" said Phoebe forcefully as she shoved the drink into his hands."Don't

worry; I'm not drunk yet so I'll explain everything clearly before I do."

After hesitating for several seconds, Zanepicked up his glassand clinked it against hersbefore drinking

several sips. He put down his glassand said,"Speak now."

Phoebestaredat himfora few secondsbefore sighing deeply."If onlyI knew whatI know now, I wouldn't

have targeted your wife back then."

Phoebe moved closer to Zane and whispered, "Brother, Yanis is not a Thompson family child."

Zane's eyebrows furrowed when he heard Phoebe's words. "What do you mean?"

Phoebe explained, "Yanis has no relation to Mrs. Thompson, but she is related to Mr. Thompson. She

and Antonio have the same father but different mothers, while she and Ivan have the same mother but

different fathers."

Zane was stunned by Phoebe's revelation.

Phoebe chuckled at Zane's reaction. "I know it sounds unbelievable. I felt the same way when I first

found out too."

Zane asked her where she got this information from.

"I overheard it," Phoebe replied after finishing her drink.

After returning home that day, Phoebe had considered visiting Bonnie in the hospital and decided to Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

take the stairs instead of the elevator since it was only a few floors up. That was when she saw Yanis

talking with Olivia.

She hadn't intended on eavesdropping but ended up hearing everything they said by chance.

Later on, Phoebe stood there for a while before approaching Olivia for more details about what had

happened with Yanis' family situation.

At first reluctant to share anything with her friend about what had happened between them all those

years ago because of Antonio being involved in their past relationship as well as his current one with

Bonnie; however eventually Olivia told her everything once Antonio became part of their conversation

again which led them back down memory lane together discussing how things were back then

compared now - including some shocking revelations regarding Yanis' true parentage!

After hearing all this information from Olivia herself firsthand though still unsure if it should be shared or

not due its sensitive nature; ultimately deciding that Zane deserved to know too so that he could make

an informed decision about his future relationship with Yanis without any secrets or lies between them

both.

Phoebe hesitated for a long time before finally telling Zane what she knew about Yanis' background

because even though it would have been more appropriate for Yanis herself to tell him directly; given

how quiet she'd been lately around him - especially after dropping hints like "Zane, we are quite alike"-

made clear that something needed addressing sooner rather than later.

Upon hearing everything from Phobe's perspective now made sense why Yanis might feel hesitant

opening up fully towards him lately considering their complicated familial ties together.

Now realizing just how intertwined their lives truly were right from the beginning despite neither

knowing each other existed until recently left both feeling overwhelmed yet relieved at least knowing

where they stood moving forward without any hidden skeletons lurking in either closet anymore!

"Actually, Yanis should be the one to tell you this, but I don't think she knows how to say it," Phoebe

said.

Zane looked at Phoebe. "Who else knows about this?"

"It's just us, Yanis, Olivia and Martin. No one else knows," Phoebe replied.

Zane picked up his glass of wine from the table and finished it before standing up. He offered his hand

to Phoebe. "Let's go. I'll take you home."

Phoebe looked up at Zane. "But you've been drinking too."

"I'll call Albi over," Zane said.

Phoebe grabbed Zane's arm and pulled him back down into his seat again. "Brother, do you think Ivan

will feel even worse if he finds out that the person he still loves is actually his own sister?"

After hearing what Phoebe said, Zane frowned slightly. "You didn't tell him?"

Phoebe shook her head no.

"Brother, why don't you talk to Ivan?" Phoebe suggested.

"No way," Zane refused firmly.

"But brother." Phoebe held onto Zane's arm again that night as she spoke softly with a pout on her

lips."If someone keeps thinking about your sister all the time, would that make you feel good inside?"

"He is just a loser under my command," Zane replied coldly.

"But deep down inside your heart... you still care about it right? Even if he only keeps Yanis in his heart

and doesn't act on it?"

Phobe hit a nerve with what she had said which made him uncomfortable for some reason. Zan met

her gaze directly."Why don't YOU go talk to him then? You're more persuasive than me."

"You have more influence over him than I do!"

Phobe poured herself another glass of wine while speaking."It's not easy for anyone to let go of

someone they love deeply. Ivan may have had an engagement with Mila before but deep down in his

heart, Yanis has always been there. He couldn't marry Mila because he wanted Yanis instead. But now

knowing that Yanis is actually his biological sister, it's going to be hard for him. I really like Ivan even

though he doesn't like me back, but I don't want him finding out who he loves so much when everything

falls apart. That might break him completely."

Zan sighed heavily after listening patiently."I'll consider talking with Ivan then."
