Chapter 271

The venue was left with just the three of them. Tanya, unlike Sarah, did not have many deep thoughts. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and shook her fingers, complaining, "Archery isn't fun at all. My hands hurt so much!"Sarah said in a cool tone, "I warned you that you'd just slow Mr. Schmidt down, Ms. Lester. You need to know your limits. What's the point of trying to take over when you can't handle it? In the end, you're still the loser."She was not just talking about archery; she was also talking about men.Tanya was smart enough to catch the dig. "You!"She whipped around, only to see Sarah casually standing with one hand holding a sun umbrella and the other on her hip. The sunlight was bathing her, making her bare legs shine brightly.She looked so stunning that Tanya realized too late that her plan to make Sarah hold the umbrella to embarrass her had backfired. Standing next to her, Tanya was the one who looked foolish.Already furious with Sarah and now with her snide c

Tanya's face turned paler and paler. Zara, worried she might pass out, put down her bow.Sarah let go of her neck and strolled over to sit on the bench.Tanya's legs felt like jelly, and she almost collapsed. She looked at the two women with fury, "I... I... When Stefan gets back, I'll tell him everything!"Zara and Sarah just shrugged. "Go ahead."Tanya wanted to lash out. She could not do anything against their stunning faces, however. Finally, she stomped her foot angrily and stormed off.The two men who had left earlier came back. Yosef, sensing the tension, glanced at Zara. "What's up?""It's nothing. My hand's just sore," Zara said, rubbing her arm. "Mr. Webb, why don't you take on Mr. Schmidt in the next round? I'm going to sit this one out." Drawing the bow had really taken a toll on her hand and arm.Yosef did not push the matter and simply nodded before turning to walk away. Before he left, he gave a quick nod to the staff. "Please bring her a warm towel for her hands.

Yosef had shown Zara how to do a lot of things, but golf was what she had picked up best.Maybe it was because that was the first time he had defended her, showing her she did not always have to keep quiet and take it.The towel in Zara's hands had turned cold. Nevertheless, she clung to it. The water dripped from her fingers to the ground, just like tears.Yosef used to be so kind to her, which made his later cruelty all the more ugly.Sarah thought Yosef was being nice? His 'niceness' now was nothing but a deal, a threat. It was a way to keep her because he could not let go. It meant nothing.Sarah stopped watching Stefan and Tanya's mushy display. Remembering something, she warned Zara, "I'm not involved with Mr. Webb at all. You should watch out for another woman."Zara passed the towel to the archer boy and looked her way."It's Leah, the Ms. Nox Tanya was talking about. We played cards last night, and I think she likes Mr. Webb," Sarah said with a serious tone.Leah? Zara

For lunch, they feasted on every part of the sheep Zara could think of.From the head to the hooves, each part was made into one or a few tasty dishes. There was even a whole roasted sheep that tasted delicious.Everyone said Yaxley had done a great job planning it all.Yaxley was feeling good and said, "Eating lamb feels great in the winter. Plus, our manor has this awesome hot spring. If you're free this afternoon, you ladies should totally take a dip. It's perfect for a winter day."Someone joked, "Mr. Lark, you've thought of everything. No wonder everyone says you're such a great guy to have around."Everyone cheered for Yaxley, having a great time.Yosef took a sip of his drink and then whispered to Zara, "You go enjoy the hot spring with the others this afternoon. We've got some business to talk about."Zara got it right away.She figured there had to be a reason he was there, not just for fun. If Yosef wanted to take a break, it would be with his close friends. He would

It was Leah.She was wearing a dark green swimsuit that was simple yet stylish. It was a tough color to pull off unless the person wearing it was really pale. However, Leah looked amazing in it.Zara gave a friendly smile.Leah swam up to her and asked, "Ms. Lowry, why not come in for a full soak?""I didn't bring my swimsuit, so it's just my legs today," Zara answered.Leah gave a small smile. "I see. I thought you were scared of water because you almost drowned as a kid. I was about to come over and keep you company."Her unexpected words caught Zara off guard.Drowning...She had almost drowned once in high school during a swim class. How did Leah know about it, though?Zara wondered for a moment before asking her. Leah's long black hair was let loose, spreading out on the surface of the water. She looked like a mermaid.She tilted her head, smiling. "I went to school there too. I was there when you had your accident. I saw everything.""Ah..." Zara was even more taken

Leah meant that it would be great for Zara to work at Shawn's company since they were old schoolmates.Zara did not show much reaction to that.Her phone started to ring, so she excused herself. "I need to take this call. You take your time here. I'm going to head back."Leah tilted her head back. "I don't have my phone right now. Let's swap numbers over dinner tonight.""Sure."After soaking her feet, Zara slipped on her shoes and stepped out of the hot spring pool. She quickly silenced her phone. It was actually her backup alarm to wake up on time.Talking about Shawn was the last thing she wanted to do.She could not help wondering, though...Were the rumors true? The company takeover, the big stock market move, the return home to expand?Ever since she left Azure Cloud, she was out of the loop. Cecil, her go-to for gossip, was on vacation.Zara's mind drifted to that night at Aquaville Hotel, under the moonlight. Since she caught that sneaky photographer and tossed his ca

What?Sarah and Leah?Zara's brows furrowed with puzzlement. These two were not supposed to cross paths, so what was going on?She could not help but speed up her steps....Leah did not stay in the hot spring pool after Zara left.She changed her clothes, did her makeup, and went to L'Étoile Brillante.As she walked in, she saw Sarah sitting cozily next to Yosef, her head on his shoulder and their arms linked.It was tough to tell if Sarah was just being lazy or simply uninterested."Go with this card," Sarah said, pointing to the one in Yosef's hand. Yosef, however, picked two different cards and tossed them aside, saying, "A true lady doesn't comment during a game, and that goes for cards too."Sarah popped a grape into Yosef's mouth with a playful pout. "If you don't listen to me, you might just choke!"Leah knew all about Sarah, the business manager of Schmidt Group and a famous face in Westwood's social circles. She used to be Stefan's girlfriend... Well, his ex-girlfr

Yaxley did not like Tanya's idea. "It's not right to make a woman strip down in front of everyone, so..."Zara cut in, "Then forget it."Yaxley looked at Zara, who was a couple of steps ahead, and narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean 'forget it', Ms. Lowry?"Zara's voice cut through the chatter, turning all eyes on her. "I'm still here, you know," she said. "Ms. Nox, you whisking Mr. Webb away like that didn't seem very polite to me."Leah blinked, taken aback. However, she quickly recovered. "I just need to talk to Mr. Webb, that's all!"Zara raised an eyebrow. "Really?"What had been a simple tug-of-war between two women for a man's attention suddenly became a three-way battle. The rest of the room looked on, nobody daring to butt in.The stakes were high. The person causing the scene was Stefan's guest, the victim was Yaxley's cousin, and now, the one demanding answers was Yosef's official date. With the three most powerful men in the room involved, no one wanted to step on

Sarah had made things right, and there was nothing left to say.Yaxley said, "We're all friends here. Let's forget about it. Dinner's ready. Let's go eat."Everyone agreed without saying a word and got up.Sarah did not look at anyone and left by herself, skipping the dinner.Zara was worried and wanted to follow Sarah, but Yosef held her hand. "Where are you off to? Didn't you miss me after not seeing me all afternoon?"Anyone who overheard him might think he was being playful.Zara, too worried to think that, felt she had spoken out of turn earlier and upset him. He might be looking for a way to get back at her.He was Yaxley's business partner, and she had made a comment that could have made Yaxley's cousin look bad—all to help Sarah. She had not apologized as Sarah did to Yaxley and Leah. If Yaxley held a grudge, it could hurt their business prospects.Yosef really did not like it when women made things complicated for him.She had been careful not to bother him for the la

Chapter 280

The Jenkins family lived in Capital City.The old-timers in Capital City had a tradition. For weddings and funerals, they would always bring in a performance troupe to put on a show in the hall.Once an act ended and it was time to switch scenes, the stagehands would pull up the green curtain.Sarah, when she was younger, loved to sneak onto the stage, lift the curtain, and spy on the crew as they set up and the actors as they changed costumes.Even when she was all grown up, she could not kick the habit. She would even lead her little cousins up onto the stage.At that time, her youngest cousin had asked, "What's the next scene about?"Sarah, curious herself, saw the crew working on a set with red walls and green tiles. She was trying to guess the next performance when she heard her parents' mix of laughter and scolding behind her."There she is! Just like when she was small, always peeking behind the stage. Sarah, get down here right now! How many times have I told you it's ru
