Chapter 381

Zara held her phone tight. She had been furious, but she now knew who was really to blame. She felt a strange calm. "Tell me what you've done," she said calmly to the caretaker.The caretaker shook her head frantically. "Nothing else, I swear."Just then, Charvi's phone rang. "Got it, I understand," she said into the phone.She turned to Zara with urgency. "Ms. Lowry, I'll tell Mr. Webb about this. He'll take care of it, I promise."Charvi was kicking herself for getting involved. If she had known Beatrice was connected to this, she would not have helped Zara dig into this mess. Had she just made things worse?"We should see your mom first," Charvi suggested. "The doctor has her test results. There's a problem."Zara took a deep breath and stood up. "Okay."Charvi glanced at the caretaker, unsure. "And her?""Let her go," Zara said with a sigh.What else could they do? They could not exactly punish her themselves.Zara did not have any proof, just an empty threat.Feeling he

It was not a long ride, and soon, they were at the community's entrance. Zara stepped out of the car and headed inside.Wilder really thought she was on a mission to give someone a piece of her mind and did not think twice about following her.Zara paid him no mind and made a beeline for Beatrice's front door.However, to her surprise, the person waiting there was Yosef.Zara had a sinking feeling the moment she stepped toward the house. She rushed past him and into the empty home. It was just as she feared—Beatrice was gone.She came back out, trying to keep her boiling anger in check. She stared at Yosef. "Where did you take Beatrice?" she demanded."She wasn't here in the first place," Yosef replied."Not here? Then why are you?" Zara did not buy his story for a second.She was sure Charvi had warned him. He knew she would come looking for Beatrice to confront her, so he had moved her somewhere else!Yosef's brows were creased with worry. "Zara, you've only heard the careta

Zara quickly stepped away from him, looked down the stairs, and whispered, "How did you get in here in the middle of the day?"Yosef's eyes narrowed. "Are you saying I should come back tonight?"Zara did not want to joke around. "I've got a train ticket to Westwood tonight. I need to pack. Mr. Webb, it's not good for you to be here. Please go.""Has Stefan asked you to go back to work?" Yosef sat down and reached for her hand. "Stay a few more days."She replied firmly, "Even if I'm not working, I'd prefer if you stayed out of my sight."Yosef looked up, standing in front of the balcony window. The fading light made his outline fuzzy and soft, and he did not seem so scary anymore. His voice was gentler too. "She won't bother you again, I promise," he said.He meant Beatrice, of course.Zara knew he was trying to make her feel better.It was strange to think she was worth his effort to comfort.He had changed a lot. He was really nice to her recently, always there to help, prot

Zara paused and then replied softly, "That's all in the past. I don't hold it against you. It's normal for daughters to drift away from their dads as they grow up. Most people do."Trevor seemed lost in his own world, whispering, "But don't worry, I won't let you down again. Those people are back, but this time, I'll protect you with everything I've got—even if it's the last thing I do."Zara paused, sensing something deep in his words. She frowned slightly. "Dad, what are you talking about?"Trevor just shook his head. "Nothing, nothing. I'll take care of it. It'll all be taken care of."They reached the end of the alley where a rideshare car was parked.Trevor lifted her suitcase into the trunk.Zara, remembering something, told him, "Dad, that doctor might be helping you, but he's kind of odd. I still don't know much about him. If you don't really need to, don't go back to him, okay?"Trevor nodded in agreement.Zara climbed into the car, which whisked her away to the high-s

Shelby paused. "So, just because Charvi helped Zara find that caretaker and that caretaker revealed Beatrice's wrongdoing, he fired Charvi?" She scoffed. "If he's so protective of Beatrice, what's the point of reconciling with Zara? Who's the real villain here?""Yes, yes. Birds of a feather flock together, and right now, I'm not happy either. I want you to stay away from Ms. Lowry's case," Harper said as he kicked off his shoes and climbed into bed.The bed was already small, and with Harper squeezing in, Shelby was squished with no space to move. Her expression turned frosty as she lifted her foot and kicked him right off the bed!Harper was quick and did not fall flat on his face, but he did end up on one knee on the floor. Getting kicked out of bed by a woman was definitely not pleasant.He scowled and called her by her full name for the first time, "Shelby Lambert!"Shelby's face was blank. "You don't get to make the rules here."Harper chuckled, but his eyes were frosty.

It was not a simple phone call. The Nox family set up an appointment to meet Zara through Stefan.Shelby told her it might not be a good idea to go. "If you're going to take them to court, it's probably best to stay away from them until the trial." Zara gave a little smirk. "They probably figured I'd say no, which is why they sent Mr. Schmidt to talk to me." She was not scared of their tricks. She had been a top secretary for years and knew all about word games. In the end, Zara said yes to the meeting, and Shelby went with her. Zara picked the place, Epitome Gastronomy. Right before they walked into the establishment, Shelby's phone rang. It was the police. She looked serious when she hung up. "The Nox family just got Leah out of jail." "How come?" Zara asked, her face turning frosty. Leah was caught red-handed setting someone up. Why was she out? "They showed the police a report saying Shelby's got a bad case of depression, so she shouldn't be in jail. They let Leah go hom

Zara said in an even voice, "I'm sure your daughter will be more careful from now on after learning this lesson. She won't cause even bigger problems in the future."Teresa stormed around the table, heading straight for Zara. "My daughter doesn't need lessons from a nobody like you! You'd better think twice! If my daughter really ends up in jail, you'll have the Nox family to answer to!"Shelby stepped in front of Teresa, her voice firm. "Mrs. Nox, are you threatening my client?""We're just laying it all out so we're clear," Teresa retorted. "Ms. Lowry, you weren't really hurt, and you'll get paid, so why not just go back to your normal life? Why keep fighting us?"Wilson gave a cynical laugh. "You said it yourself. Your info's all over the internet, and some people out there can be pretty extreme. You don't want you and your family to be scared all the time, do you?"Zara knew they were trying to scare her, but she stood her ground. "You wouldn't dare!"Teresa shot back, "Just

Zara shifted her gaze to Yosef, her expression calm. "I'm so 'cheap'. Why would I be worthy of your attention?" Yosef paused. Being as intelligent as he was, he quickly grasped the implications of his words directed at Teresa and Wilson. He realized they also cut deep with her. "I wasn't talking about you," his voice softened slightly. "And can't you tell if I actually like you now?"Zara turned his own words against him. "So many people like me. Am I supposed to respond to all of them?"Well, that was just great.She was using the very words he had said to stand up for her to strike back at him. It was not often that Yosef found himself at a loss for words. He was fuming with anger.His breathing slowed and deepened. Just as he was about to speak, a round of sarcastic applause echoed from the entrance.The door to their private dining room had been left slightly open. It swung wide open. Yaxley was leaning casually against the frame, gasping with laughter."Bravo! Ms. Lowry, y

"Does this place belong to you? You're here, so why can't I be?" Yosef said as he pulled up a chair right next to Zara.Zara gripped the menu a little tighter."Sure, you can be here. But why sit with us, Mr. Webb?" Yaxley said.Yosef, gazing at Zara, replied, "Because there's no other seat. The place is packed."Yaxley was about to accuse Yosef of lying through his teeth about there being no empty seats when Yosef's bodyguards, who had been lurking in the shadows, came in and quickly filled up all the empty tables.Seeing this, he had to backtrack. "Even if there are no available seats, we never intended to share a table with you. My girlfriend and I are on a date, and your presence here is somewhat disrupting the mood."Yosef kept his eyes on Zara and asked clearly, "Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?"Zara's eyelashes quivered, but she stayed silent.Yaxley huffed. "If she doesn't say no, it means yes. Mr. Webb, you got your answer.""By that weird logic, does that make

Zara stayed quiet.Yaxley paused before asking in a softer tone, "Are you mad?"Not at all.Zara had been expecting him to say something.She knew he would ask. Yaxley and Leah were close, and she was his cousin. It would be weird if he did not.Zara said with a hint of sarcasm, "I just find it funny how the price jumped from 75 grand to 1.5 million. That's quite a leap."2- times as much.Yaxley laughed. "I know you talked about the 50 million with my uncle."He was upfront about it. "That 50 million isn't really for Mr. Webb. Honestly, it's for the Nox family's future son-in-law. My aunt and uncle want to unite with the Webbs through a marriage. "If that happens, it's shared property. So, that 50 million isn't just spending money—it's an investment."Zara understood it then.If Yosef really took that 50 million, it would show that he was not that into her. They could then freely take her on, and Leah might even get her chance with Yosef.It was like testing the waters an
