Chapter 351

"I just woke up and saw that someone had sent these to me." Zara's voice was hoarse as she had just woken up. She was feeling a little scared.The photos on her screen would surely cause trouble. They looked like she had someone pick on Leah, and then, as if to prove it, someone had sent her those pictures.Her fingers shook as she held her phone.Even though she was scared, she was not freaking out. She checked the time on the message again. "It was sent at four in the morning. I tried to call the number, but the phone was turned off."Shelby got straight to the point. "So, it's not a fake internet number or a dead line? It's a real phone number?"Zara bit her lip. "Yes, it's a real number from Starville.""That's interesting," Shelby said, unscrewing her water bottle. "Send me the number. I'll have a friend look into it. I'm heading to the airport now. I'm catching the next flight to Westwood."She would have preferred taking the high-speed train to Westwood, but all the ticke

Zara found herself at the police station, but this time, she was not taken to an office. She was led to an interrogation room.Sitting across from two police officers, Zara felt the heavy weight of their stern gazes."I don't know those people at all," she said firmly, her lips tight. "I didn't tell them to do anything. They're either trying to pin something on me or they're outright lying."The male officer showed her the photo of the two men who had asked for directions. "They claim they were verifying Leah's appearance with you."Zara protested, saying, "That's ridiculous. They were just asking for directions."The officer went on, "We found 4,500 dollars in their bags, which they said you gave them. Your fingerprints were found on the bills too."Zara went silent, slumping back in her chair as the reality of the situation hit her.The officers looked at each other. Then, the female officer slid a thin paper across the table. "Ms. Lowry, we need to detain you for now. Please

Zara could not help but chuckle at the thought and turned to Shelby. "The punishment for hiring men to sexually assault someone, even if the attempt failed in the end, should be pretty severe, right?""If the proof is solid, it's between three to ten years," Shelby replied.Zara's face lost even more color. No wonder Leah had insisted she would end up behind bars.The wind last night had been pretty chilly, sending temperatures tumbling down. Even in the visitation room that was without a single window, Zara could feel the cold creeping into her bones.Shelby usually liked to keep things clear and to the point, but seeing Zara looking so down, she lowered her voice. "It's only if the proof is rock-solid, okay?"Your fingerprints might be on the money, but the law puts more weight on hard evidence than just someone's word. And one piece of evidence alone won't cut it. The court will consider their charges, but if they don't have any more evidence, their case won't hold up. Try not

As those jumbled thoughts swirled in her head, the door to the detention room suddenly swung open. The guard barked, "Everybody up!" Everyone dropped their plates and stood at attention. Zara knew the drill and tried to stand, but the sharp pain in her stomach made her double over. It nearly brought her to her knees. Then, out of nowhere, an arm reached out and steadied her. She fell against someone's chest. A familiar, crisp scent enveloped her. A wave of unspeakable sadness filled Zara's eyes.Zara felt a deep sense of injustice. She was framed, missed two meals, and her stomach ached terribly. She almost blurted out the words, "Why did it take you so long to come?" However, she bit her lip and held back the words.Yosef's voice floated down to her. "Can't you walk?""My stomach... It hurts," Zara replied faintly."You had it coming. Why didn't you ask Shelby to look for me?" he said.Zara weakly pushed against his chest, but Yosef just lifted her up in his arms.Suddenly,

Zara's throat felt dry as she asked, "You won't take advantage of me, will you?"Yosef gave her a look that could mean anything. They were on their way to the 12th floor, and the elevator glided up until the doors opened with a soft ding. Carrying her out, he finally answered."You're not exactly smelling like roses right now."She had only been wrapped in that musty blanket for a short time...Yosef reached her door and unlocked it using a key card he had somehow gotten.Zara did not even bother to ask how he did it.She knew by then that he could do pretty much anything.He nudged the door shut with his foot.Just like that, he was in her room.Yosef gently set Zara on the couch. She managed to pour herself a glass of warm water and had drunk most of it when the doorbell rang. Yosef went to answer it.He came back holding a food container.It must have been ready and waiting to be delivered at the right moment.He popped open the container to reveal a steaming bowl of chi

Zara stood tall and slim, her figure not skinny but just right. Even in the plain, baggy nightgown, he could still see her graceful frame.Yosef remembered how he loved to hold her close and whisper that she was made just for him, perfect in every way. If she were any bigger, he would not be able to hold her in one hand.He would then watch her face turn red and her body curl up as she called him a jerk... She really was not good at name-calling.His voice was calm but deep. "Did you call me? Do you need something?"Zara, not noticing how she looked, was standing in the hallway where the bedroom met the living room. A wall lamp cast a soft glow on her pale face."Shelby called me about photos of Leah on the internet... Did you take care of them?" she asked.Yosef simply hummed in response.Zara's racing heart calmed down. She thanked him. It was the third time that night. Yosef undid his top shirt button and walked over to her. "So, you're asking for my help now?"Zara always

"I needed to use your place for work." Yosef approached her. "Your hand, please."He had a fancy suite upstairs with better internet. What did he need to do in her room? Zara slowly extended her hand.He dropped two white pills into it."Sleeping pills. Take them and you'll sleep."Zara gripped the pills tightly. "I'll manage to sleep... Mr. Webb, you should go back to your room."Yosef looked at her weary face and tousled hair. Suddenly, without any sign, he kissed her.Zara jerked back instantly.Yosef held the back of her head firmly, making it impossible for her to dodge away. He kissed her more intensely. Zara's breaths came out all wrong. She pushed against his chest in a panic, letting out a soft groan.He nipped at her lower lip, then let her go. Zara quickly grabbed the blanket and rolled to the far edge of the bed, eyeing him cautiously.Yosef did not go after her. He was still holding his glass of water, but his voice had grown a bit raspy. "You look just like you d

Chapter 358

Yosef did not say anything about Leah's troubles and just noticed that Zara was all dressed up. "You're still going to work?"Zara looked back at him, asking him, "Are you going to meet Leah's parents? What will you guys talk about?"Did Yosef even go back to his room last night?Did he really spend the whole night sitting in her living room? He was always dressed in black shirts and pants, so it was tough to tell if he had changed his clothes. However, he did not look tired. His dark eyes were as intense as ever."Are you just curious, or are you worried? Are you worried that Leah's parents might convince me to turn against you?"Zara bit her lip. He had hit the nail right on the head with the last part.The Nox family wanted to meet Yosef because they knew he was protecting her. They were probably ready to make a big offer to get him to hand her over to them to do as they wished. Would he agree?If he did, no one else would protect Zara. Yosef was her only hope.Thinking that

Yosef looked up, his gaze fierce and commanding. He looked like a tiger ready to pounce.Teresa's complexion went pale, and she plopped back into her chair.She then realized how embarrassing it was to be intimidated by someone younger and quickly stood up again. She was about to speak, but Wilson Nox calmed her down.Wilson maintained his composure. Since Yosef had not outright said he would cover for Zara, there was still a chance to talk it out.He smiled again. "Yosef, that was a bit harsh. My wife is just a little quick-tempered and speaks her mind..."Yosef was short on patience. "Get to the point."After a moment of silence, Wilson got straight to it. "Zara's the one to blame. She hurt our daughter, and we're going to make sure she pays for it!"His last words echoed with determination.At the table behind Yosef, a woman was quietly eating when her spoon slipped and clinked loudly against her plate.Yosef took a quick look backward."Just stay out of this. Nox Group an

However, even with Yosef's promise, Zara could not shake her worries.If the Nox family was willing to throw half a million dollars at Yosef to leave her behind, what else might they do with that kind of money?She was even scared to answer the phone, dreading it might be the police asking her to come in for questioning. Her mind was not really there all morning.During lunchtime, some colleagues waved Zara over to eat with them in the cafeteria. Zara did not know those people from Schmidt Group very well and hardly ever joined them for meals. However, since they invited her, she decided to go. Once she got there, she figured out why they were so eager to have her come. They were all itching to hear the latest rumors. "Ms. Lowry, is it true what they're saying online about Ms. Nox almost jumping off a building last night?" "Ms. Lowry, why weren't you at work yesterday? Someone said they saw you at the police station. Did the police call you in?" "Ms. Lowry, are you involved
