FAZER LOGINJasper and Winona exchanged a glance, both seeing the same understanding in each other's eyes.They had known for a while that Keith had feelings for Amelia. Seeing him run into her here only confirmed it.Winona smiled. "Yeah, what a coincidence. Since we're all here, why don't you join us?"Keith didn't hesitate. He pulled out a chair and sat down right next to Amelia, already leaning in a little. "What do you feel like eating? This place is known for their truffle steak. It's really good. Want me to order one for you?"Amelia gave a small, helpless smile. "It's okay. I'll order for myself."When it came to someone she didn't have feelings for, she wouldn't give even the smallest false hope.Jasper watched the way Keith fussed over her and sighed quietly to himself.He knew Amelia's heart was still with Christopher. No matter how hard Keith tried, it probably wouldn't change anything.Winona, on the other hand, said it out loud, her tone teasing. "Keith, you're being a little
"Oh, right. Where's Christopher? Didn't he come back with you?" Claire asked.At the mention of his name, Amelia's gaze dimmed slightly. "He had something to take care of. He went ahead."The day she got back from the island, she waited for Christopher at the dock. And yet, he never showed. After that, she didn't see him again. No messages came, either.She knew he was probably still struggling with his thoughts, but she didn't reach out to him.She had already said everything she needed to say. The rest was up to him.Claire noticed the shift in her mood and didn't press further. She sighed, stood up, and headed to the kitchen. "You must be starving. I'll make your favorite, BBQ ribs."Amelia stayed on the couch, watching her mother move around the kitchen, a quiet warmth settling in her chest.Just then, her phone rang.It was Keith.She answered, and his voice came through, thick with guilt. "Amelia, are you okay? I heard you went missing! I've been trying to reach you, but
"Mr. Zephyr, are you sure you don't want to think it over? These projects have huge potential. If you miss this chance, you won't get another one like it," Lincoln said."No need." Christopher gave a faint smile. "If you're interested, feel free to take them yourself. Zephyr Group won't be involved."With that, he turned to leave.Lincoln watched his back."You really don't want to reconsider?" he called out after Christopher. "Zephyr Group just went through all that with Jayden. Things aren't exactly stable inside. If you pass on these projects, too, it might hurt your foundation."Christopher paused for a second, but didn't turn around."Thanks for the concern, Mr. Spencer. I've got a handle on Zephyr Group."Then he walked off without another word, leaving Lincoln standing there, his expression dark.-After leaving, Christopher fell into thought.Lincoln bringing up a deal at a time like this didn't feel simple at all. More likely, he was trying to take advantage of Zephy
Christopher's gaze turned cold as he looked at Jayden, eyes dark and unreadable.He knew that Jayden was trapped in his own obsession. No matter what he said, it wouldn't get through. Staying here any longer was only a waste of time; it wouldn't uncover anything useful.Christopher said nothing more and slowly stood up.Jayden suddenly looked up, a flicker of unwillingness still in his eyes. This time, he didn't explode again. He just stared at Christopher's back, his gaze locked on him.Christopher didn't stop. He walked straight toward the door of the visiting room, leaving that resentful stare behind.Once outside, he had just reached the corner at the end of the hallway when a familiar voice came from the side."Mr. Zephyr. Been a while."He paused and turned.Lincoln stood there in a well-tailored dark gray suit, hands in his pockets, leaning casually against the wall with a knowing smile.Lincoln had been Christopher's rival in business for years. They had crossed paths
Christopher let out a small sigh, closed his eyes, and forced the weight of those dark thoughts down.He pulled out his phone and called Jessica.His voice was steady and firm. "Set up a full treatment plan for me."There was a brief pause on the other end before she let out a soft laugh. "What, you're finally ready to stop overthinking and give yourself a break?"She knew him too well. Christopher was always pushing himself too hard. He planned everything and thought ten steps ahead, never letting himself relax for even a moment.Christopher didn't argue. He simply said, "I need stable emotions. I need a clear mind to face the people I need to face, and handle what I need to handle.""Alright, I understand." Jessica's tone shifted, turning serious. "I'll arrange everything starting tomorrow. Medication, therapy, and physical treatment. We'll cover it all. Trust me. As long as you stick with it, you'll get better.""Thank you."Christopher ended the call.After hanging up, he
"Do you think I wanted to end up like this?!"Jayden's tears fell as his voice broke. "It was all of you! The entire Zephyr family pushed me to this point! I just want you to see that everything you did to me back then comes with a price."Gerald looked at Jayden, his outburst filled with regret and helplessness.He knew Jayden wasn't lying. The tragedy of the Zephyr family had come, in large part, from their own internal conflicts and unfairness.Alas, it was too late now.Jayden was already behind bars, and Gerald himself was being dragged down because of it.-Soon, news of Gerald being impeached spread across Northon.Some said he had covered for a relative's crimes. Others accused him of abusing his authority. In a short time, his reputation collapsed, and he became the target of public criticism.He sat alone in his empty office, watching the traffic move outside the window, a sense of defeat settling in.Gerald thought the one person happiest about this must be Chris
Amelia really didn't want to be a part of this.Yet, Dorothy was insistent. Amelia just couldn't say no to her.Amelia lifted a hand and rubbed her nose bridge, saying nothing and offering no response.Dorothy's brows furrowed tight at Amelia's silence."Mia, I've found out a lot about things be
"Indeed, everything has been normal," Christopher said. "If you're interested in our married life, feel free to retrieve surveillance footage from our villa or have one of your men follow us around the clock. That's very much your style of doing things."Gerald didn't seem angry at Christopher's re
Jonathan looked coldly at Claire. "How am I shameless? As long as we're still married, the money you're spending is part of our marital assets. I can demand every cent after we get divorced. I also have a share of the company you're managing right now. If you want to divorce, you'll have to split
"There's no need to go to that trouble," Amelia said.Lincoln pursed his lips at her rejection. "If need be, feel free to call me."He was a gentleman who never crossed the line. He wouldn't keep insisting if he were rejected.Amelia didn't think much of the incident. Such accidents were bound to
