That's when I met my uncle, Teddy, He was very kind to me, always wearing a gentle smile. It was he who toldthat I was the daughter of his late brother, Colin." Emmanuel didn't interrupt her story, even though he didn't believe Teddy was as benevolent as he appeared. He just wanted to hear the full story first. "Twenty years ago, there was a tragedy within the Tanner family," Xylie continued.

"Is that what you wanted to tell me, Emmanuel?" Xylie asked, her curiosity piqued. "Why are you in Zovince?" Women, even shy and reserved ones, were always curious about the men they admired, and Xylie was no different.

"One of the main reasons I'm here is to deal with Teddy Tanner," Emmanuel replied, not hiding his intentions.
