Zachary had heard from Yvonne's manager that a man had entered Lexi's room. Thus, he called Quinton to ask him to check if Lexi was safe. She looked completely confused. "I'm fine. Did something happen?"Quinton explained, "Yvonne's manager said that a man entered your room. Mr. Jenkins called me to come and have a look." "Oh, all's good. That man is a friend of mine." Since everything was clear and Quinton verified that Lexi was fine, he left to give Zachary the report.When Quinton visited Zachary to update him, Yvonne wasn't in the living room. "Ms. Loyle said that that man is a friend of hers." "A friend?" Zachary repeated that word. In a cold voice, he continued, "Alright, then. You may go ahead and rest, Mr. Shaw. Thank you." Quinton could feel that Zachary was displeased, but he didn't overthink about it. He turned around and left. In the other room, Lexi called out to Claude. When she saw that he hadn't come out of the bathroom, she opened the bathroom door.

With an icy expression on her face, Lexi replied, "Thanks." When Zachary and Lexi were on a video call with Martha, Yvonne sat at the other end of the couch to avoid being in the camera's focus. She peered at Lexi, who was sitting next to Zachary. Then, she lowered her eyes and listened in on their conversation. "I'm sure it's been tough on you both, Zach and Lex. Have the deceased's family members been offered solace?" Martha was also worried about the fire at the factory in Gem City's science and technology park. Right now, the company's share price was falling. Fortunately, they didn't reach limit down consecutively. "The family members are willing to sign the contract to accept compensation and assistance. One of the deceased's family members is in a bit of a unique position, though." Zachary turned his head toward Lexi. Lexi elaborated, "The people we sent over found that Mr. Geoffrey Yanes's wife's health condition might not be great. Their relatives aren't reliable

In a weak voice, Lexi said, "If it were you at the time, I would've done the same." She had merely saved Zachary out of reflex. Moreover, if anything happened to Zachary, she couldn't be sure what would happen to Cade's treatment. She didn't save him out of love, but it seemed like no one believed her. "The media just likes fallacies." Maybe it was because Lexi said that she would've done the same for Claude. The man had mostly simmered down after hearing her words.As a descendant of the Quall family, Claude never expected that he would one day become a married woman's secret lover. For whatever reason, he felt a little jealous. With that bit of anger left in him, he decided to wait and settle matters with her another day. "Zachary arranged a flight to send me back to Sootfort tomorrow." Upon hearing that, Claude smiled. He took his phone out and made a phone call. "Arrange a flight back to Sootfort City tonight." He hung up. The look in his eyes deepened. "I'll send

"It's the last time," Lexi said, putting her phone down. Claude used something else to divert her attention. He caressed her hair relaxedly. "I'll wash your hair for you tonight." Lexi took a doubtful glance at him. "It's alright. Just get another woman to help me with it." She didn't quite believe that he would know how to wash a woman's long hair. She was afraid that she'd be the one being miserable in the end. "Do you not trust me, Lex?" Claude raised a brow. He rolled up his sleeve and made himself look like he would take her to have her hair washed right at that moment. "I'm great at washing long hair." "Do you always help other women with washing their hair?" Lexi had a suspicious look in her eyes. Otherwise, why would he be great at it? Claude tapped her head with his index finger. While giving a half-smile, he answered, "Stop overthinking. I used to wash my dear Callie's long hair.""You have a younger sister? What a good older brother you are." Lexi wished t

Lexi was outside the hospital room, asking a doctor about Cade's recovery post-surgery. Gwen was in the hospital room. Her eyes were fixed on the gray-haired man on the hospital bed. Cade felt a little helpless. It wasn't his first time being stared at like that. "Would you like some fruit, Mdm. Smith?" Gwen came back to her senses. She couldn't believe that she daydreamed while looking at a man. Feeling embarrassed, she replied, "I'm good, thank you." After asking about Cade's recovery, Lexi returned to the hospital ward in a good mood. "Cade, the doctor said you can be discharged soon." Cade smiled warmly and responded, "Thank you, Lexi." His gaze landed on the splint on her arm. He had seen the news. He knew how her arm injury had come about. That made him think about the earlier news relating to Zachary and Yvonne. "Mdm. Smith, I'd like to have a word with Lexi. Would that be okay?" Gwen looked at him shyly. She might be naive, but she wasn't stupid. She nodde
