Chapter 401

The deal was sealed with a signature, a check, and even a notary stamp. That was the end of it.Once the Nox family's parents had left, Yaxley quickly became Zara's friend again. His smile was as bright as the sun. "How about we go out and celebrate? My treat tonight. Let's head back to Epitome Gastronomy."Zara and Shelby were not keen on the idea. The three of them hanging out? It was a weird mix."Is it because we're short on company?" Yaxley whipped out his phone. "It's no biggie. I can invite a few more friends!"Anyone who did not know him might think Yaxley was actually Zara's secret agent in the Nox family, considering how he lost a fortune but was still eager to throw a party.However, he had already made the plans, so Zara and Shelby figured they might as well go. It was just dinner, after all.The guy Yaxley called was in his 30s. He looked mature and scholarly. Zara did not know him, but Shelby did a double-take when she saw him.Yaxley casually did the introductions

The dinner was more than halfway done when Zara got a call from the caretaker. She stepped out of the private room to talk.The caretaker told Zara that Trevor had started drinking a lot in the last couple of days. He was getting super drunk every day, and Sharon could not stop him or convince him to quit. She was really worried about what might happen and asked Zara for advice.Zara had a feeling something was wrong with Trevor's mood when she left Fleent. Now, she heard that he was drinking too much?She was worried that Sharon was stressing out about Trevor, which could make her sick again."Call me when he wakes up tomorrow. I'll talk to him," Zara told the caretaker.The caretaker said okay.After hanging up, Zara went back to the private room where they were all hanging out. However, when she got there, she found that Shelby and Charvi were the only ones left. The three guys had disappeared."Where did they go?" Zara asked.Shelby said, "They went to smoke, take some call

Zara heard the low murmur of men's voices just around the corner and headed straight over.She found Yosef and Chase standing side by side, each smoking a cigarette. They looked like they knew each other well.As she stepped closer, both men looked over at her.Chase, aware that Zara was there for Yosef, gave her a polite nod and a silent hello. He then headed inside.Yosef dropped his cigarette and walked over to her. "What brings you out here?"Zara was a bit confused. "You know Chase?"He replied casually, "Remember the Mr. Wiste we played cards with on the Stewarts' cruise?""Yeah, I remember."At the Spades table that day sat four big shots—Stefan Schmidt, a big-time investor, Yosef Webb, a money wizard, Yaxley Lark, a property king, and someone from the Wiste family. He seemed to be a tech boss? Wiste…Zara's eyebrows shot up. Was that the Wiste that Yosef talked about?Yosef gently tucked a few loose hairs behind her ear, his touch light on her soft skin. His eyes grew

The night outside was pitch-black with not a single glimmer of light. The winter wind, with a touch of snow, slipped through the window cracks. It brought with it a slight chill that could not chase away the room's warmth.Zara reached out her pale, soft arm from the covers. She tried to turn on the bedside lamp.However, Yosef was pressing down on her bare back again, kissing her neck. She trembled uncontrollably as he did not let up, kissing all the way down her spine to the dip of her back.Zara was sprawled on the pillow, squirming as she felt ticklish. She tried to push the man away. However, Yosef just held her hands firmly. Placing them beside the pillow, he leaned in for a kiss.She squirmed, feeling that he was being a little too clingy.He had shown up at her place last night, sick and helpless like a stray dog. Now, he was sticking to her like a needy Golden Retriever.She had not planned on getting close to him again, but his persistent caresses made her lose control

Chase saw Shelby's icy gaze but just smiled smoothly. "You're mad? You must still care about me. We were together for seven years, and I know you better than anyone. If you didn't care, you wouldn't have made such a big deal about me touching you."He softened his voice. "Shelby, I've broken up with her. Let's start fresh."Shelby's face showed nothing. "Harper and I didn't have a big wedding, but plenty of people know we're married. Don't you know about it?"Chase could not believe she felt nothing for their seven years together and said seriously, "Shelby, I'm trying to make things easier for you."Before she could respond, Harper burst in and landed a kick on Chase. "I was nice to you, yet you're trying to flirt with my wife!"Chase could not dodge in time, and his black suit instantly sported a shoe print.He looked up, his face calm and collected. "Harper, why did you marry Shelby? You can't fool me. Are you trying to act like you're the boss of me? When she called me 'Hubby

Harper looked at Shelby with a serious expression.Shelby gently removed his hands, saying calmly, "If you're just bored and looking for someone to argue with, please find someone else. I have case files to read."Harper was upset by her calm and distant attitude. He held her hand a bit too firmly. "You're a lawyer, and I can't win an argument with you."He was acting out in frustration, and Shelby's voice wavered as she tried to calm him down. "Harper! Please, let's not do this!"However, Harper was not listening.He held her hands, trying to show her how upset he was. "You never call me 'Hubby', and I wonder if it's because you're thinking of someone else. But remember, I'm the one you're married to. I'm your husband."Shelby was taken aback by his strong reaction. She was unprepared for his intensity and felt overwhelmed. Her words came out in a shaky whisper, "Harper, please—""If he hadn't cheated with that younger student, would you be his wife by now? Would you? After all

Yosef gave him a look but did not bother to reply.He took a sip of his drink, his features lost in the lounge's soft lighting.Harper, feeling a sense of camaraderie, snapped his fingers for the bartender to make him a drink too. He muttered, "Why are all these women so tricky?"He offered a cigarette to Yosef.Just as they lit up their cigarettes, they overheard a conversation from across the bar. "No way. I'm off the booze and cigarettes right now. I'm trying for a baby. I'll stick with lemon water."The two men paused for a moment before quietly putting out their cigarettes....Yosef could not stay in Westwood forever. After having breakfast with Zara the next day, he took Charvi and headed back to Starville.Zara did not bother to say goodbye. She just kept eating her meal alone at the table.As soon as Shelby walked into the dining area, she spotted her, got her food, and sat down across from her. They chatted briefly. Even though things were okay with the Nox family no

Shelby thought Zara was just kidding, but Zara really did take her to dinner with Leah.They got there early and waited a bit. Leah arrived, fashionably late with her bodyguards in tow.She made her way from the entrance, her eyes locked on Zara without blinking. Zara looked back at her, and it felt like their stares were pulling them closer together. Zara was a bit taken aback.In just a couple of weeks, Leah had changed so much. She looked really worn out.Leah's appearance was usually striking, with her deep eyes and bold makeup that usually turned heads. However, at this moment, her face was so gaunt. Even with her makeup done just right, she could not hide how tired she looked.She was only in her 20s, but she already seemed to be showing signs of age.Zara, on the other hand, looked fresh in her neat suit with a mint green coat thrown over it. Her fair skin made the color pop. Next to Zara, Leah seemed dull and lifeless, like a piece of gravel next to a shiny pearl.Leah c

Zara was taken aback.Leah was unsteady on her feet. At that moment, the waiter came to serve the food, and she bumped into the tray. The waiter quickly apologized, but Leah, in a swift move, grabbed a dish from the tray and smashed it on the floor."Why did he take me to have tacos by the street side stalls? It was only because you went there first, and he followed you! Whether it was going for walks or watching movies, he was always following you!"He never walked me back to my dorm because we didn't stay in the same building. There was no chance he'd see you, so even when I begged him to walk me home, he wouldn't do it. He flat-out refused!"Leah let out all the feelings she had been holding in for the last few weeks, not caring that people were recording her with their phones.Zara looked up at her, completely shocked. Her eyes started quivering."He only agreed to be with me because you were with Shawn that day. He was jealous," Leah said with a sad smile."Why do you think

Unrequited love... The wind made Zara's skin tingle, but she still could not believe it. How could she find out if it was true?She remembered when they had that special meal, Yosef asked about a bunch of love letters.She thought it was strange how much he cared about it. Then, she wondered if he had written her love letters back in the day. Zara leaped to her feet, her eyelashes flickering with worry. She remembered leaving all those love letters at her house back at Fleent. She quickly dialed Shelby's number."Shelby, are you on your way yet?""Just about to leave. What's going on?""I need to go back to Starville with you. Can I tag along?"Shelby paused for a moment before replying, "Sure. Are you still at the restaurant we were at? I'll swing by and pick you up."Before long, Shelby's car pulled up, and Zara hopped in.Once they were on the road, Shelby finally asked, "Is this about Mr. Webb?"Zara's heart raced as she nodded, her lips pressing tightly together. She ne
