But Wolf couldn't possibly do that. A lot of money was at stake."Now you'd better go out and make an apology that shows you're sorry." Wolf said everything in a low tone, which could be dangerous because it also meant a threat. "I don't care about your spoiled attitude. If you make this kind of foolishness again, don't expect me to bury your rottenness. Let's just say your hard work will be in vain."Iris looked pale, but she nodded and walked out. Wolf certainly hoped she could properly organize her sentence later, choosing a wrenching sentence. Someone would help, but the result would depend on Iris's acting. Wolf hoped that an apology would make things calmer.Wolf waved at Becca, told her to come closer, then patted her thigh.Becca smiled cheerfully, then sat on Wolf's lap with both hands automatically wrapped around his neck. "Do you need to channel your stress?" Becca asked. Wriggling seductively while Wolf fingered her thighs and squeezed her ass.Becca sighed and started
Zoe laughed silently as she watched Iris apologize while sobbing. Her crying was very convincing, not to mention her face looked remorseful. Many people naturally believed the apology.They believed her when she said she was fatigued and weak from the cold. The right reason, followed by a tearful apology, is compelling.Many fans on the forum where Zoe uploaded the video yesterday have posted an apology and praised her for having the courage to admit her mistake, understanding her grievances at the time, and asking everyone to stop bashing her, as well as a request to stop sharing the snippet of the video Zoe uploaded.Zoe deleted her thread and even the account she used to post the video. The person who downloaded the video and shared it is no longer her. Zoe didn't have to go to the length of spreading the word, as human nature generally loves juicy gossip, which helped her.Zoe now uses another account to surf the forum and is very satisfied with all the comments she has read.Alth
Zoe typed for a long time, not because the text was long, but because she deleted it several times. It wasn't easy to talk about something she hadn't thought about in a long time because she wanted to forget it.[I don't know because I never heard the doctor diagnose it properly. I ran from the hospital before they could diagnose me.]Zoe gave a short answer as she saw Wolf leaning forward. He couldn't wait to read her response."How did you run?" Wolf squinted his eyes in confusion. Of course, as a patient, Zoe should obey the doctor, who would not let her leave before giving a diagnosis.[I have no money to pay for treatment. I was in a coma for seven months after the accident. I had no health insurance. I couldn't possibly stay in the hospital while the bills mounted, so I left before my treatment was complete.]Zoe went on, typing longer than she should have. It was tough to remember all that. Zoe left the hospital when she had regained the use of her arms and legs. She had diffi
Zoe lowered her head, ensuring her face remained hidden beneath the hoodie that covered her head. She was more cautious because the likelihood of someone recognizing her was higher. She found herself in an unfamiliar environment.It was a place she shouldn't visit, as it could land her in jail. But Zoe had no choice. She didn't want to stay silent while waiting for the attack on Iris.The alternative was, of course, seeking revenge on Max. Zoe would do something similar to Max—finding evidence and spreading it—but doing so would require more effort and be more dangerous because Zoe's information about Max's activities was limited. Max was not Wolf's artist.However, it didn't mean Zoe would act recklessly. She had some information about Max that she obtained from Becca. Of course, the request didn't explicitly mention Max.She asked Becca for the names of singers from Wolf—and their schedules, but with a filter for singers collaborating with Nova—Billy's company.There were many singe
Zoe tried to get up, but the man who tackled her quickly immobilized her, boiling her back and pulling both of her hands behind her. Zoe couldn't shout or do anything; she could only growl while squirming."QUIET!" The man shouted, then pulled Zoe to stand with her hands behind her back. Three or four bodyguards had caught up."Who is she?" One of them asked."She... Oh, right! She's the crazy girl obsessed with Max! Mr. Dacosta showed me her photo!! Luckily, someone recognized her earlier." The man holding her hands removed Zoe's hood, revealing her entire face."Oh, yes. Mr. Dacosta said we should call the police if she shows up." Another man finally recognized Zoe. Dacosta was Billy, and Zoe boiled with anger upon hearing that name.Billy apparently wasn't satisfied with just making false accusations; he also wanted to ensure Zoe didn't interfere with his money-making."I've already called the police. Take her to the front of the park." Another bodyguard chimed in, and Zoe's strugg
"Mr. Wolf!" Someone called as Wolf stepped out of the car. It wasn't strange because they had already arranged to meet."Mr. Harvey." Wolf greeted him, extending his hand for a handshake."Just Cliff. Clay is a friend. Relax." Cliff smiled warmly as his feet kept moving towards the police station. Wolf had asked for Clay's help earlier, remembering he had mentioned having a friend who was a lawyer now living in New York—opening a new law firm here.Wolf had a corporate lawyer on retainer, but only for civil matters; they are not licensed to handle criminal cases. So, he reluctantly sought help. Besides, it was safer this way. Wolf didn't want rumors about him getting married circulating at the company. Becca wouldn't talk about Zoe. He knew the limits of the gossip he could share."What's your relationship with the suspect?" Cliff asked, waving to the police officers, who welcomed them at the entrance."She... is my wife." There was a brief pause as Wolf considered whether it was safe
But no words were heard from Wolf's lips after that. When Zoe glanced, Wolf wasn't even looking at her.Wolf was half-focused on Cliff, who was still flipping through documents in his hands. Despite the possibility that the restraining order had been denied, Cliff seemed to be exploring another avenue. Therefore, Wolf waited without causing a scene."Miss Anderson hasn't violated this restraining order before this, has she?" Cliff asked."No. There have been no violation reports before today," said the police officer."And today's violation occurred in Central Park. Miss Anderson can't be charged for this."The police officer immediately frowned. "What do you mean she can't be charged? It's clear she can. Miss Anderson was near Maxwell Taylor, less than a hundred meters away.""But she was in a public facility. Central Park, where hundreds of people come and go every day. While here, it clearly states 'approaching in private space.'"Cliff showed the document in his hand for the offic
"I apologize. Nice to meet both of you," Cliff finally excused himself hurriedly, feeling that he had made a mistake.As soon as Cliff was out of sight, Wolf immediately grabbed Zoe's hand and led her towards the car. No one spoke until Wolf started the car. Zoe, of course, just kept her head down. She had no idea how Wolf would react to this unfortunate situation."Can your condition be cured or not? This stalking, do you need to see a psychiatrist?" Wolf asked, finally breaking the silence."Hmm..." Zoe shook her head, forming an X with her hands, indicating that she doesn't have a stalking hobby."DON'T LIE TO ME! Do you think I would believe this?!" Wolf shouted, throwing the piece of paper that Zoe handed to Cliff earlier.Zoe's reasons meant nothing to Wolf because, as far as he knew, Zoe had a habit of stalking. And Zoe didn't have a good reason to cover it up. Clearly, she couldn't say anything because her plan had already been set in motion."What do you like about her? Of al
