Chapter 10

Author: Flowering Tree
When I returned from my vacation, the airport was filled with members of the Gray family. They had me surrounded in a tight circle, and Rosa even clutched at the hem of my pants. They said Zachary had been kidnapped.

The reason was that he had seen the photo of me kissing Seth on social media and lost his mind. In a fit of rage, he stormed out of a meeting and bought a plane ticket to go to where I was. But after it took off, it never landed.

Rosa cried so hard that she had to gasp for air as she clung to my pants.

"I know we have wronged you, but can't you please help us look for him? We don't have a penny left. We really have no other way. Bebe, I'm begging you—even if it's just for the sake of the years of friendship between our families!" Rosa wailed pitifully.

I sighed and agreed.

Seth gently pinched my waist and asked in a slightly jealous tone, "Do you still care about him?"

I smiled helplessly. "I just want to hurry home and take care of the real business with you."

    In the days that followed, I rarely saw Zachary again. He was occupied with putting out fires back at his company.After the Klein family withdrew their investment, the other families close to us also pulled out theirs. I had thought my friends were joking. After all, business was business, and friendship was friendship. But unexpectedly, they really did cut off their investments.The Gray family's assets shrank by 80% overnight, and the group teetered on the edge of bankruptcy. Rosa came to beg countless times. But before she even got close to the gate, our butler threw her out.Zachary went from a rich young heir to a mere business owner of a waning company who had to humble himself to survive.While I vacationed in Breen Island, my friends often sent me videos of him in our group chat.In them, he poured drinks for others in a hotel, humbly and pitifully. Then, he kept gulping down glass after glass himself. His expression showed how much agony he was in, but he couldn't stop.

    When I heard the reproach and grievance in his voice, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow."What are you doing at my doorstep?" I asked.He jogged over, but the moment he saw the man in the car, his breathing hitched. His gaze shifted back to me. When he saw the oversized white shirt I was wearing, his lips turned pale."You… You… Phoebe, you're a real piece of work! I waited for you downstairs all night, and you were busy sleeping with another man!"Zachary's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He looked like he was about to cry from rage.My stomach churned as the drunken nausea from last night resurfaced. I looked at him coldly. "Does it have anything to do with you?"His eyes grew redder, and his voice trembled violently. "So what I said was true, wasn't it? Phoebe… You… You've really disappointed me!"Disappointed him? Zachary was really good at twisting things around.I wanted to get someone to drive him away. But now, I realized I needed to make

    That night went on until it was very late. Samara supported my drunken self as we walked out.The moment Zachary saw us, he approached me again. Even though I was drunk, I slapped his hand away with precision. "Samara, get us an Uber…"Before I could finish, Samara shouted, "Seth, over here!"I rubbed my eyes and saw a pair of long legs stepping out of a black SUV. A pair of refined red-soled shoes stepped right into a puddle.The man held an umbrella as he slowly walked toward us. Under the moonlight, his striking side profile looked extraordinarily handsome. I was instantly stunned. When Samara saw my dazed expression, she smirked smugly. "What do you think? My brother's not bad, right?""Yeah, not bad at all," I replied absentmindedly.Samara shoved me straight into her brother's arms and ran to her car. "I've got another event to attend! I'm leaving Phoebe to you!"As he and I made eye contact, an awkward air filled our surroundings.Suddenly, Zachary yanked me into his

    Zachary stared at me coldly. He said dismissively, "It was just a kiss. That's normal in the adult world, isn't it? I don't know how much you saw on the day of the funeral, but I was heartbroken at that time. Lola just wanted to comfort me. She may have gone a little overboard doing it. Do you have to be so petty?"Before I could speak, Samara immediately pulled out her phone and cast the video onto the LED screen where a dance performance had been playing."You just don't know when to stop, huh? You may have smashed Bebe's phone, but I have your wonderful acts on mine!"On the screen, the photos from the anonymous letters played one by one. There Zachary was, watching the sunset with Lola by Svenza River. Next, he was riding a hot air balloon with her in Torlund. There was one of him pressing against her by a windowsill, and there was another of their fingers tightly interlocked on wrinkled sheets.Although the faces were not clear in the photos, the silhouette was unmistakabl

    Zachary glared at me with reddened eyes. He clenched his fists even tighter when he saw the lipstick mark on the man's collar.He scolded me furiously, "My funeral was just yesterday! It's only been a day, and you couldn't wait to find a new lover, huh? Do you know how much effort it took for me to escape from those kidnappers? The moment I gained my freedom, I came back to you. Little did I know you'd have such a surprise in store for me!"Looking at his aggressive and righteous stance, I found him ridiculous. Even now, he thought he had me fooled.I held my wine glass without saying a word and quietly watched as he put on his performance. Perhaps the icy look and contempt in my eyes further enraged him. The next moment, he smashed my wine glass to the ground.His physical outburst ticked my friends off.Samara charged forward and shoved him hard, shouting at him angrily, "That's enough, Zachary. Everyone knows about your fake death!""Yeah! You faked your death just to fool aro
