Chapter 191

Yosef walked away and exited through the spinning door. Zara found herself stepping out right after him.She watched his back until a delivery guy called out, "Order with last four digits 2055?"Zara snapped out of it and answered, "Yeah, that's me."She grabbed her food and headed back to her room, her earlier cheerfulness completely gone.She could tell Yosef did not like Shawn, not one bit. However, she could not figure out why. Were they not just old high school friends? What was his beef with Shawn?Zara did not think she was important enough to be the cause of their problems.If she played any part in it, it was surely tiny. There had to be other stuff going on between them.Zara had ordered food from this same place before once. However, now that her mood was sour, it tasted pretty bland.After eating, she made her way to the base on North River Road to catch up with Stanley.Today marked their seventh day at work in Aquaville. They had nearly finished collecting all th

Chapter 192

In Yosef and Charvi's conversation, there was a mention of 'the thing Mr. Slate said'. Did Connor suspect someone had been murdered?Putting together the clues, including her mention of 'digging a hole', Yosef must have realized the crime that was committed. That was why he reported it today, which led the police to her for a statement.Stanley looked troubled, his usually calm face tense. "You almost got into trouble last night? Why didn't you tell me?"Zara adjusted her scarf and bit her lip. "They didn't get to me. I ran as soon as I sensed what they were up to."Stanley's voice was heavy. "Are you sure you want to let Sarah get away with it?"If it was just a 'prank', maybe it was best to let it go.Even after the prank caused such a big mess, Zara wanted to drop it. Stanley, though, was not ready to let it go.Zara really did not want any more trouble. "I've already taken the peace-offering money. Let's just end it here," she said.Then, she asked, "Where's Apricot Village

Zara was momentarily stunned.Stanley scowled. "Melanie."Melanie put on an innocent face. "What's the big deal? It's totally normal to ask these kinds of questions in a game like this. It's all in good fun. If you don't believe me, just ask around."Zara stayed cool. "I guess I don't get the game, then. What's the dare option?"Melanie's smile was sly. "I dare you to kiss the guy to your right for ten seconds."The guy on Zara's right was the liaison from the base they had visited that day.He had overheard them planning to hit the bars. Being a local, he knew the best spots and had joined their group for the night.Here was the thing—Stanley was sitting to Zara's left.Even if the dare was to kiss someone, it should have been the person on the left, since everyone had already been teasing Stanley and Zara earlier.Melanie deliberately said the person on Zara's right, which was clearly intentional.Stanley's expression turned stern. "Have I really let you get away with too m

Chapter 194

Yosef was in the upstairs area of a bar. He was not a fan of loud places.Even West Palace, which was a quieter spot owned by Wilder, was not his cup of tea—much less a place just for fun.He was here tonight because someone had asked to meet him at this bar. He only learned it was a bar upon arrival.He lounged in a booth with his legs crossed, ignoring the drink in front of him. When he felt thirsty, he simply picked an orange from the fruit plate.He peeled it into four sections and ate them one by one, his movements calm and graceful.Yosef was not in his usual shirt today but a black turtleneck and a dark brown suit jacket. He stood out in the noisy bar, looking cool and proud."Mr. Chase, there's no need for this chat. The demolition payout is already fixed, and it's the same for all the villages. I can't just give you more money on the side."The music boomed from below, but Yosef's face was expressionless. His voice was even. "Besides, this project involves three other c

Zara clenched her teeth, fighting to stay alert. She pushed through the crowd toward Stanley."Stanley! Professor Schmidt—"The dance floor was a storm of noise.Stanley was focused on Melanie. Zara was so close. She reached through the last bit of space, almost touching him.Then, Melanie stumbled and fell. In the crush of bodies, the danger was immediate.Stanley, desperate, shoved through the crowd. The person he accidentally pushed ended up batting Zara's hand away.He scooped up Melanie, tears and all. Just like that, they disappeared into the throng.Zara stumbled to the ground after someone bumped into her. Stanley glanced back but did not catch a glimpse of what happened.From the second floor, Yosef watched the scene unfold with a smirk.There she was, the woman and her poor choice in a man.The fall made Zara's head spin even more. When she managed to get back on her feet, she saw Portly blocking her way. She turned to find Lanky right behind her.She opened her mo

Portly and Lanky stood by the door, puffing on their cigarettes. Lanky said, "You watch her, I'll go get the boss. Keep your eyes peeled, and don't let her get away!"Portly just chuckled. "She's just a woman. How's she gonna run? Plus, she's drugged up. Her legs are probably like jelly!""You used a sleeping drug on her, right?""I couldn't catch her in the forest that night, but I've been thinking about her ever since.""What kind of drug did you use?""That one. Hurry up and go. When you're back, we'll head in. The boss didn't say we couldn't have a little fun first!"Lanky stroked his chin and left in a rush. Portly licked his lips, already dreaming about his prize.Then, a crash came from inside. Portly did not hesitate and burst through the door.All he found were ropes scattered on the floor. She was gone!He panicked, looking all around. What happened? Where was she?!Zara was hiding right behind the door.The moment he opened it, she dashed out, slammed the door shu

Zara's memories came rushing back. Thinking about that time only made the drug work faster. Her vision blurred, and she found herself clinging to Yosef's waist without meaning to.Yosef's face grew colder by the second.If he had not been at the bar and if he had not seen her and come to her rescue, would she have ended up in the hands of those people? Would she have ended up helplessly giving in to them because of the drug?His gaze was icy as he touched her neck. He gently tilted her chin up so that he could see her face, which seemed so different from her usual self.Zara felt like he was treating her like some kind of toy, and she did not like it one bit.Her sense of reason pushed past the confusion, and she shoved him away, saying firmly, "Don't touch me!"Yosef did not back off and instead leaned in closer.Trapped against the wall with nowhere to run—not that she could have run in her state—she was stuck."Are you really asking me to go at a time like this? Who else do

The leaves trembled in the wind, casting dancing shadows on the ground like restless willow branches.Zara was completely unresponsive while Yosef seemed to be suppressing a chill in his gaze, especially since she had just called out Shawn's name.He was relentless, yet he seemed detached.Suddenly, a cell phone rang. Zara flinched, and Yosef whispered, "Relax."Zara could not relax.Was that... her phone?Was her phone not taken away by Portly and Lanky?It turned out it was not.Her mind was all fuzzy, and she had just assumed they had taken it, which was why she did not think to call the police right away.Those two goons did not even bother to tie her hands behind her back or check for her phone?If she had known she still had it, she would have called for help sooner, and she would not be trapped under Yosef now...One mistake really did lead to another.She never should have gone to this bar.Yosef had no idea Zara had so much on her mind. Hearing the phone ring, he

Chapter 199

Over in Starville, Cheryl could not get through to Zara's phone.Sharon had passed out suddenly, and the doctor was busy carrying out rescue attempts. Cheryl had been through it once before, but this second time did not make it any easier; it only scared her more.Forgetting Sharon's earlier advice, she did not hesitate to try calling Zara. She wanted Zara to come and take charge. Zara's phone just would not connect, though.Cheryl was about to try calling again when the doctor finished up and came to explain, "She's stable for now. She fainted because her brain didn't get enough oxygen.""So... she's okay now?""It's not that simple. Not getting enough oxygen can hurt the brain, and it might make things more complicated after surgery. You all need to be ready for that."Cheryl looked at him, feeling completely lost.What did that mean? Complications? Were they saying the surgery had gotten even riskier?She did not mess up, did she? Her hands shook a little, but no, she was no

Chapter 200

Zara's fingers tightened on the fabric of the man's sweater.Yosef looked down at her, noticing her sudden dependence. He then turned to Winston. "Jane? You must be mistaken, Mr. Chase. She's my secretary."Winston's laugh was cold and mocking. "Impossible. She's Jane. I'm not wrong about her."Yosef let out a small, confident smile. "So, you're saying I'm the one who's mistaken?"He spoke lightly, but his presence was commanding. Just standing there, he made it clear that he was not to be challenged.His authority came from his family's generations of wealth and power, from his company's dominance in the business world, and from his own reputation for being decisive and feared in the cutthroat world of business.His confidence and pride were not without reason.When he said he was right, who would dare to argue with him?Winston's face was a storm of colors, anger and fear flashing across it. He had tried to scare Yosef, but Yosef did not even flinch. Instead, Yosef had Winsto
