Wolf still remembers that day vividly. He woke up and went downstairs as usual, then turned on the television to have some background noise while warming up food.

Until he heard a news anchor mention his father's name, Wolf initially thought it was a joke. Wolf initially thought it was a joke, as he had heard similar news before about his father's death, although it was never confirmed.

Wolf could only digest the news as true after realizing that what he saw on the screen was the funeral process. It wasn't just news of death anymore; they were already in the midst of the funeral process.

Wolf, too busy as usual, had no idea about his father's death news and only found out after his funeral had taken place. Wolf also witnessed how Emily cried and went through her usual drama that day.

"I didn't know what to feel at that moment. I wanted to laugh because the person I hated finally died... But I couldn't... I didn't hate him that much after all."

Wolf smiled bitterly. Previously, he thou

    "But why has Emily said she's your wife after that?"Zoe was still puzzled about this. She believed that Wolf couldn't possibly marry Emily. The disgust Wolf showed towards Emily seemed very real. Zoe might believe more if Wolf married Sara, but not Emily. She wanted to know why Emily claimed to be Wolf's wife."That's because she's crazy. We met during the reading and signing of the inheritance letter, after which I called her crazy. Emily's dream was to marry me. She hoped that after my father died, we could get married.""She really thought something like that would be possible?!" Zoe was astonished again."Yes, as I told you. She's a bit crazy. Feeling like the center of the world and believing that any man would easily fall in love with her and would never be rejected. She will continue to use her beauty to get what she wants. The only thing she can use to make money is her face.""Oh, she's running out of time." Zoe instantly understood why Emily seemed so forceful. It was becau

    "Are you sure you've done it?" Wolf asked. Not satisfied with Zoe's nodding response."Yes, Wolf. I have contacted Cliff and asked him to cancel the divorce suit." Zoe reiterated slowly to ensure Wolf's confidence. She had indeed contacted Cliff yesterday. Zoe had completely forgotten about it until Wolf reminded her.Wolf wanted to make sure Zoe had done it because he didn't want to receive another call from Cliff reminding him about the divorce."You're very quick to decide to divorce me. It seems so easy," Wolf complained, lying back on his bed.They had just returned from the hospital after spending two days there. Wolf's injuries were not severe, and his health had improved. Wolf had received a long scolding from the doctor about malnutrition as well."I'm just fulfilling that condition. I won't give you a second chance if you really do it. That part remains the same." Zoe said it firmly. The promise still stood."I know. And my answer remains the same too. I don't want any woman

    "Is this so surprising to you?" Wolf asked as Zoe suddenly backed away from him.Not accepting that, Wolf grabbed Zoe's hand and pulled her back onto the bed. Zoe wasn't too concerned with what Wolf was doing, simply sitting back and staring at him in amazement. Her head was currently filled with the reality of who Wolf's father was.Brandon Edison was very famous. Even before Max praised him, Zoe had heard his name."That... your father is famous!" she exclaimed."Yes, I wouldn't be this cautious with Emily if it weren't so."Wolf wouldn't care about Emily, and he would discard her if he didn't care about his father's reputation. A reputation that was already quite tarnished when it became known he married someone close to his child's age.Although the marriage—on the surface—wasn't as bad as people speculated, saying they would divorce quickly and so on, it was still gossip that shook things up. Wolf didn't want to further tarnish his already disrespectful father's reputation. Wolf

    [Hi, how are you? Are you having difficulty practicing for the final round?]Zoe, who had just closed the microwave door to warm up her food, sighed as she read the message that had just come to her phone. From Max. Zoe wanted to ignore it, but from previous experience, Zoe knew that Max wouldn't give up. He would keep sending messages.It wasn't the first time Max had sent her a message after their meeting at his house. Several times, and when she ignored it, Max sent another message without giving up. Max assumed more than once that she was busy shooting because Zoe had used that excuse to avoid him every time.As her relationship with Wolf worsened, Zoe certainly didn't want to think about Max's burden because it was better to avoid it. Now Zoe feels more relieved, but Max becomes her new burden.No, but I have rehearsal. It's getting hard because it's final. I have got it right.]Zoe tried to give a professional answer.[What if we meet again now? I haven't heard you sing yesterda

    Zoe certainly didn't say anything in detail, only responding that Wolf was fine. Jacob didn't pursue it further after that. Maybe out of respect, and Zoe was grateful because she didn't have a clear answer."I also pay very close attention to my singers," Wolf retorted. Not wanting Zoe to praise Jacob."You only pay attention to singers you consider good and profitable," Zoe corrected.After hanging out with Jacob, Zoe began to understand Wolf's habits and how exclusive he was when it came to accepting singers."Well, of course. I don't want to waste my time producing songs or someone who isn't worthy. And you're lucky because I consider you worthy."Zoe could only roll her eyes at the arrogance. She had to accept it because Wolf was indeed an expert. Wolf was very skilled at making songs and being a producer. He wasn't boasting without evidence."Are you cooking or..." Wolf opened the microwave that had beeped and took out the food inside. Placing it on the table. Twice because he wa

    "Iris! Have you arrived?!" Anxiously, Max stepped out of his car."I've been waiting for you." With his hand, Max tucked the phone into his pocket. There had just been a message from Zoe—whatever it said. Max focused on trying to appear calm as Iris eyed him suspiciously."Were you waiting for me? We didn't have plans for today."Iris spoke with a hint of surprise, while Max kept glancing towards the entrance of the Wolf building, hoping Zoe wouldn't come out right now."That's why it's unexpected. I couldn't wait to see you. I missed you." Max gave Iris a small chin pinch, then kissed her lips."I only left for a day. Mmm... How did you know I would be back tonight? I was supposed to come back tomorrow, but the event got canceled due to bad weather." Iris was once again puzzled.When they entered the parking lot earlier, Iris had to look several times to make sure the car she saw was indeed Max's. She hadn't planned to return home today; her event was supposed to last two days but go

    "Give a little pause after the word 'forever'. Give the audience a little example of how long forever really is. Feel it, so they can connect with you."Wolf corrected what Jacob hadn't criticized when Zoe practiced with him yesterday. But that's how it usually goes: Wolf's requests are more detailed than Jacob's. Zoe had become accustomed to Wolf's requests after singing for him for so long, so she no longer felt surprised.Zoe repeated the part she had previously sung before, taking a similar pause similar to Wolf's wish."There!" Wolf raised his thumb in satisfaction, then closed his eyes again to listen to the rest of the song. Carefully listening to every detail to find any mistakes."Nice. That's perfect. Sing like that. You'll win."Wolf stood up and stretched out his arms for a hug, but Zoe narrowed her eyes instead."Are you sure? By saying this, you do not simply wish for our practice to conclude quickly, correct?"Zoe was suspicious, as it could be that Wolf was only saying

    "I hope you mention a more interesting destination. For example, Paris or Toronto." Wolf complained as he parked his car at their first destination, as mentioned by Zoe earlier."Paris is too far, Wolf. I might not make it back by the final day of the event." Zoe shook her head. Clearly, she didn't want to take Wolf to another continent."Paris may be far away, but did you have to bring me to this place? Like seriously?!"As he looked at the statue in the middle of the island across from them, Wolf squinted. The Statue of Liberty. The first place Joe wanted to visit was the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island.The statue was quite interesting. But of course, for someone who had lived in New York for a long time, the statue no longer held any appeal."What's wrong? I've never been there before." Zoe didn't see the same problem as Wolf did because she had never visited the statue, despite living in New York for a while. She was so busy with her work that she rarely even thought about go

    "LORIA MOREAU!"Zoe froze. She heard her name, but couldn't believe it was hers."Wake up, baby. And smile. It’s yours."Wolf's whisper finally stirred emotions in Zoe. She blushed with emotion, only able to stand when Wolf helped her. Unfortunately, Wolf couldn't escort her to the stage.Luckily, Syanne's hand was there to assist her, followed by Jacob, who was closest to the stage, helping her navigate the stairs to reach the top.Zoe expressed her gratitude several times to the person presenting her award before finally standing in front of the microphone to deliver her speech.Zoe took a few deep breaths, wiping away tears, before finally being able to address the camera and the patiently waiting audience."This is something I never dreamed of, standing here and receiving this." Zoe glanced down at the trophy in her hands once more and smiled."I... I once buried this dream. I no longer hoped to sing, let alone receive this. Not long

    Zoe did something that Wolf would not like. She wouldn't lie, but she would inform him later, once the task was complete. Zoe wants to handle this herself without anyone else's interference.Of course, it's not easy. She walks with an anxious heart. Zoe adjusts her sunglasses several times on her nose, while her other hand carries a beautiful pink flower and gift box.Zoe feels anxious, knowing that people will recognize her when she enters later. But she's resigned. It's not possible to hide her identity now, considering the person she's going to meet.Approaching the counter after filling out a form with the prisoner's name and number, Zoe submits it."Please wait over there. We'll call you," says the prison guard behind the counter.He stares at Zoe several times as another guard checks Zoe's belongings—making sure no contraband is smuggled, glancing to confirm—even reading her name on the form but doesn't comment.Relieved—because

    "Here." Wolf handed the cup to Zoe.Zoe wanted to take it, but her hands were still busy responding to messages on her phone."Cliff really doesn't have a girlfriend, does he?" Zoe asked."Hm? Why are you asking?" Wolf asked suspiciously."For Sara. She wanted to confirm this because she doesn't believe someone like Cliff is still single.Zoe sighed, showing the message Sara sent to her. Showing that she wasn't lying. She was indeed asking for Sara, not for herself."Not yet. According to Clay, he used to have one—a journalist or an MC, if I'm not mistaken. But they broke up when Cliff was about to move here. Either he moved and then they broke up, or they broke up and then he moved."Wolf just repeated Clay's words, of course. And now Zoe repeated them in the form of a message to Sara and sent it to reassure her."How do you know these details?" After sending the message and taking her cup, Zoe asked in amazement.

    "Should have been in jail..."Max denied reality once again. For him, Loria still couldn't possibly be Zoe because she should have been in jail."You're endlessly foolish!" Billy slammed the table and went berserk.He grabbed Max by the collar with his handcuffs. Of course, chaos ensued immediately, and shouts erupted as the police guarding the area rushed in to subdue Billy, pinning him to the ground.But evidently, Billy was truly furious with Max, as he continued to resist and curse at Max even while being held down."YOUR STUPIDITY KNOWS NO BOUNDS!""SILENCE!"The judge's thundering voice overshadowed Billy's outburst. Not only Billy fell silent, but also the journalists and spectators who were making noise."Once again, if anyone disturbs me, I will reschedule this trial!

    The prosecutor began with standard questions, asking about Sara's background—education, how long she had been a psychiatrist, and so on. Only after that did she mention Zoe."Since when has Ms. Zoe Anderson been your patient?" the prosecutor asked."For over a year," Sara replied clearly. Gone was the cheerful demeanor she usually wore when facing patients."Can you explain Ms. Anderson's condition at that time?""Zoe came with a desire to heal because she suffered severe trauma that was very visible and prevented her from leading a normal life.""Could you please explain more about that trauma?"Sara nodded calmly because everything matched the expectations given by Cliff."Zoe came in a state where she couldn't speak, but medical examinations showed that Zoe didn't have any physical injuries anymore. The absence of any disturbances in her nerves confirmed that her inability to speak was a result of PTSD. Severe trauma due to a bad incident

    "That's... Strange. You must be kidding!" Iris shook her head vigorously while staring at Zoe from head to toe, trying to recognize her as the same person she saw before with Max."Have I ever joked when talking to you?" Wolf replied flatly, pulling a chair for Zoe. The chair is furthest from Iris. She was still at a loss for words and kept staring at Zoe."Are you really Zoe Anderson?" Iris continued to stare at Zoe."Yes, before I changed my name to Loria Moreau, that was also my name." Zoe replied calmly. The apprehension that had plagued her earlier had vanished.The meeting with Iris might have been unexpected and almost annoying, but Zoe felt empowered, knowing that she was currently in control.Seeing Iris's surprise, Zoe felt satisfaction. A victory for successfully showing her new self to Iris. Zoe was no longer the disheveled individual she had encountered, who garnered disdain due to her perceived inferiority."That's impossible!

    Zoe smoothed her cream-colored skirt and blazer. Darcy's choice, so Zoe wouldn't appear intimidating or grim.She felt nervous, as she could see from a distance how journalists were crowding in front of the courthouse. They were undoubtedly waiting for the enigmatic figure of Zoe Anderson. There were no images of Zoe in the news because there was no documentation of Zoe's case.Due to her prior injuries and hospitalization, Zoe did not attend the trial as a suspect. No one recorded her face or bothered to find out at the hospital because the case clearly made her a suspect.Zoe also ran her fingers through her hair, which was back to being blonde. She wasn't wearing a wig today. It was the first time she would appear without her black hair, and honestly, it made Zoe even more nervous. It felt like she was removing the mask that had protected her. Zoe would be Zoe in front of everyone, no longer Loria.Wolf, who had been observing Zoe's nervousness, said, "Your be

    "He's trying to save himself! So cunning!" Wolf hissed irritably.It was clear from Iris's statement that she only wanted to save herself by blaming Max and Billy."She made them look like she was under pressure to hide the truth about Zoe. Iris then used that pressure as an excuse to justify all her strange actions. She hid from her mistakes by using mental health as an excuse." Sara shook her head, looking annoyed. She was obviously upset when someone used mental health as a lie."She managed to escape using a lifeboat before her ship really sank." Cliff looked at Iris, who continued to sob and cry amidst her words."It doesn't matter. Let it be," Zoe said, folding her arms and staring at the television without blinking."What do you mean, let it be? She's lying again!" Wolf also pointed to the television with a disapproving face."At least she has been honest, especially about me. Whatever she said makes things right; just let it be," Zoe repeated.

    "Why so fast?" Zoe stared at the summons she had received in panic.When Benson mentioned that she would receive a summons to attend court, Zoe assumed the trial would take place maybe around one or two months later, but it turned out to be only three days later and effective in two days."I think Benson waited until his file was complete before calling you. That's why now he just has to submit it to the court, and the schedule comes down immediately," Cliff explained. He took the letter from her hand to examine it."I only have to come once, right?"Zoe asked to confirm, as she really didn't want to attend the trial multiple times."Yes, that's why I asked to meet with the psychiatrist who treated you. I need to ask them to answer questions about your condition well. They have to give the right answers for the judge to grant the request," Cliff explained today's plan."I think they'll be here soon.
