Chapter 161

Yosef hung up the call and dodged her as she tried to grab him.The room was completely dark because the curtains were closed. Zara missed and stumbled, tripping over a turned-up corner of the carpet.Zara had barely caught her balance when Yosef came up from behind and pushed her against the wall, pinning her there.He was toying with her as easily as if she were a little cat!Her hands were trapped behind her by Yosef, and she was so mad that she was breathing fast. She could not stop herself from yelling, "Yosef! Leave my room now! Or else—""Or else what?"Yosef sounded cold and mean, like the alcohol had made him numb. "Or else what? If I really do something, you think you'll stand up to me?"Zara felt a chill run through her."What did Stefan promise you? Let me guess… Stanley's helping the Schmidts get more say in the project, and in return, you get to join the Schmidts' company after it's all done, right? "And what if I can make the Schmidts lose the project? If they

The sound echoed sharply in the dark, empty room.Yosef had been alive for 28 years, and this should be the first time he was slapped. However, Zara had slapped him once before a few months ago.Back then, he had said he was just 'using her as a tool'.This time, Zara was ready to give a slap that was way harder than before.Zara was sprawled on the couch, her chest rising and falling with fury as the two stared each other down in the pitch-black room.The curtains were so thick that they could not see a thing. She could not even see the look on Yosef's face.They were so close, less than a foot apart.Yosef's breaths were calm and steady, but they felt as cold as ice.They were like two animals trapped in a cage, neither one backing down. They seemed ready to battle it out forever.All of a sudden, there was a beeping noise at the door, and someone swiped a card to get in.Zara did not think twice. She shoved Yosef away, sat up fast, and fixed her clothes. She wondered who c

Luckily, Zara was used to being on her own. She did not need anyone to cheer her up or comfort her. Her emotions might spill out like water, but once they were out, they were gone.She took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.There was no hurry. She would try again. She was determined to get back on her feet....Yosef did not want to go back to his room. He wanted to go downstairs, so he pressed the elevator button to go down.The elevator arrived, and the doors opened. There stood Ophite.Ophite immediately noticed the red mark on Yosef's face and the floor he was on. He raised an eyebrow. "You came to see Ms. Lowry?"Yosef's face turned even colder as he stepped into the elevator.Ophite really knew him well, being his best friend. "Did you have a fight? Did Ms. Lowry slap you?"Yosef's face was blank. "She thinks she's too good now. She doesn't know her place."Was he suggesting that Zara was now with Stanley? Ophite scratched his nose. "Yosef, have you ever noticed tha

The manager frowned. "Well, that's a bit tricky. Other guests are on that floor, and we have to respect their privacy. I can't make this decision alone. I may need to check with my bosses.""You may do that, but remember, I can call the cops anytime. I'm being stalked and harassed. The police will have the right to see the surveillance footage, won't they?" Zara said evenly.The manager, a seasoned pro, gave a wry smile. "You weren't hurt, and being followed is just your guess. Even if the police come, they might not take your case. Without proof, we have the right to keep the footage private."Zara countered, "Really? But Mr. Webb from the 19th floor was on the 17th floor too, and he almost got hurt by the stalker."As soon as the manager heard the name Mr. Webb, his face went pale. He quickly looked back at the worker for confirmation.The worker leaned in and whispered something that made the manager look even more serious. He told Zara to hold on for a second, pulled out his p

Wilder replied: [Not yet.][How about that fake phone number?] Yosef asked about the number that sent the photo of Beatrice kissing.Wilder said: [That's a fake internet number. It's hard to track, but I'm on it.] Yosef pointed out: [You would've solved it if you had just used the time you spent watching other people's videos.]Wilder just laughed and swore in a friendly way....Zara went to the bathroom to take a call. "Hey, Cheryl.""Are you busy, Zara?" Her sister's voice was light and easy, not worried at all.Zara relaxed. "Nope, what's going on?""Mom finished knitting your scarf, and now she wants to knit you gloves. She made me ask you right now what your favorite color is."It turned out that this was the reason for her call.Zara smiled and asked, "Is Mom with you?""Here, talk to her," Cheryl said, handing over the phone with a sigh. "Mom's getting more impatient by the day. I told her we could talk about it tonight, but she wouldn't wait."Sharon's voice came

Yosef's voice was cool. "Ophite ordered all the heavy, spicy dishes from Aquaville. Think you can handle them?"Zara really could not, which is why she had not eaten much.Why was that his concern, though?Yosef was already on the phone. "Bring some light-tasting food to private room B88 in ten minutes."Zara watched him, puzzled. Was he going out of his way to get her something to eat?"Mr. Webb, I'm quite taken aback by your kindness." He was more unpredictable than she had thought.Despite last night's uproar, he seemed to care about whether she could eat.Yosef gave her a quick look. "Don't be so surprised. You need to be alive to answer my questions."It turned out he had an ulterior motive.Zara was too weak to leave, so she stopped resisting. She sat at the dining table and held her stomach.The private dining room in the upscale hotel smelled indescribably good.Yosef did not hesitate and bombarded her with questions before she could even catch her breath, "What happ

Work started in the afternoon.Zara was busy with data on her tablet when Sarah popped up next to her. "Something's not right here."Zara looked where Sarah pointed. "What's wrong?"However, Sarah had just made it up to start a conversation. She got closer to Zara. "You slapped Mr. Webb last night, right?"Zara knew Sarah was just making an excuse and could not be bothered to pay her any more attention. She went back to her work.Sarah whispered, "How could you dare to hit him? What gave you the courage?"It was not Zara's courage that made her do it. It was Yosef who had lost it when he was drunk.Sarah huffed, "You're pretty bold."Zara glanced at Yosef. His face was clear of any marks from the night before.He looked sharp in his black suit, nothing like the mean bully from last night.He caught her looking, and Zara went back to her notes.Sarah's words made Zara realize that Sarah had seen Yosef late last night. Could they have been together?The project was huge, touc

Zara immediately said, "Professor Schmidt, I didn't mean…""I don't care." Stanley was being a bit stubborn. "Well, that's my opinion. If you have something else to say, let's wait until I'm done with my lab work. I'll come get you at Aquaville and then we can talk it out properly."She was not even his student... Zara felt like she could not get a word in edgewise."It's late. You should get some sleep. I'm going to hang up now," Stanley said.He really did hang up, leaving Zara with no way to respond.Stanley stepped out onto the balcony with a watering can in hand. He began to water his mint plants, feeling happier than he had in a long time.He thought back to that day at school. During a break, he accidentally overheard some guys joking, "Jack, your girlfriend is so pretty. We just want a peek..."Stanley could not help but laugh.He really was stealing his friend's girlfriend now... However, it was not his fault the guy had not shown up yet.He could not be blamed for th

She saw a face covered in grime.Zara blinked in surprise. "You…"He looked like one of the workers from the base.His voice was low. "Are you okay?""I'm okay, but what about you? Are you hurt? Thank you for saving me. What's your name?" Zara asked him upon returning to his senses.He had been hit on the shoulder, and someone had already gone to get a doctor. The other workers were helping him away.Zara was still a bit scared. The people around her kept asking if she was okay.Yosef was standing not too far away.He had seen it fall and had started to run back, but he was just too far away. This scene made him think of the float that had fallen at the Thanksgiving float manufacturing factory.Back then, he had seen Zara trying to pull him to safety, but he had gone to help Beatrice instead.He had not thought much of it at the time. Now, after watching this incident from the side, he realized that Zara could have easily dodged it back then too. She simply did not dodge beca

Chapter 170

Zara started scrolling through the album, hitting the back button over and over. She lost count of the presses, but she still had not reached the end. Every single photo was of her, captured in various places...She clicked through the camera a few more times and stumbled upon some photos that were taken at the Thanksgiving float manufacturing factory.Suddenly, Zara knew where she had seen this camera. She looked straight at the masked man and said, "A few months back, after the incident at the Thanksgiving float manufacturing factory, you lent me your camera to help prove my innocence, didn't you?"That was the day Beatrice falsely blamed her for causing an accident by pulling on a rope.Later, she gave the camera to the factory manager, hoping he would return it to the kind person who had helped her. She even called the manager, who told her the blogger had picked it up. After that, she did not think much about it.Now, she realized this man had been secretly taking photos of h
