Jay was lost in his thoughts."Are you unwilling to help me?" Zoe asked in a slight mocking tone.She had expected that he might not be willing to.After all, if he were to agree to help her, it would certainly cause a dent in his friendship with Bob.To Jay, his self-benefit has always been his priority."I just feel like things need not be brought to such an extreme. Yulia doesn't want you to be with Bob simply because she's worried that Bob will anger Charles, and Charles would cut off Bob's inheritance of the family business. But if Bob starts taking the business seriously and works hard, thus gaining Charles' recognition of his abilities, there's no need for Charles to force Bob into a marriage alliance.""Having been with the Levines for so many years, do you really think this is about inheriting the family business? A proper match in family backgrounds is the foundation of every high-society marriage. What right do I have to marry into the Davis family, given my status now

Or did he enter the wrong apartment?That could not be.Zoe could not possibly…But that man was Jay. He knew what Zoe used to feel for Jay and the sorrow she felt from unrequited love.She liked Jay for so many years, so, so many years…He was nothing compared to Jay!His vision blurred, but he did not leave. He did not question them loudly, nor did he even interrupt them.He simply looked on as Zoe took the initiative to kiss Jay, and he just stood there, feeling his heart break into many tiny pieces.From the corner of her eye, Zoe saw Bob standing still at the door.She could imagine how broken he felt at that moment, and she desperately wished that he would push them apart and slap her, but he did not do a single thing.He simply stood there in his pain.Zoe's eyelids trembled. She shut her eyes as tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes, and she then deepened her kiss on Jay's lips.The kiss that felt like a mere peck became hotter and more fervent, and Jay's heartbea

Zoe didn't know how much time had passed. When she looked up at the living room clock, she found it was already past noon.It was already the next day.She turned to look at Jay, watching as he sat beside her without a word. He was simply there.The bruise on his face from the two punches Bob had thrown at him had become darker and had started to swell. It looked hideous."Do you want to go to the hospital?" Zoe asked.Jay froze momentarily. It took him a while to understand that Zoe was referring to the wound on his face. "No need. It'll go away in a few days.""Thank you," Zoe then said.She was expressing her gratitude again.Jay pursed his lips and was about to speak when Zoe continued quietly, "I don't know what I can do to repay you.""There's no need for that.""But your friendship with Bob has been affected because of me.""That's fine."Everything that happened had been due to anger.Jay's friendship with Bob wasn't that fragile."That's true," Zoe muttered t

Yet now, Jay was being deliberately slow?!Also, where was this place?Jay's assistant knew that Jay's new house was not in this area!His assistant didn't dare ask more questions and hurriedly followed Jay as he got into the car. Then, he gave Jay a report on the filming tasks during their journey, as well as the scenes scheduled to be shot for today."You don't have to follow me to the set today. When we get out of town in a bit, you can get off," Jay said suddenly, cutting his assistant off midspeech. "Just give me the schedule."His assistant looked at him in a daze.Was he... getting fired?!Jay pulled out a piece of string. "Pick out a ring in this size. Send me pictures of the ring styles there when you get to the mall."His assistant's eyes widened.Wait... What?!"Also, get me a bouquet of nine hundred and ninety-nine roses. Make sure they're the freshest ones."Was Jay preparing for a marriage proposal?!Wasn't this too soon?!It wasn't like Jay had a girlfriend,

In the middle of the quiet meal, John's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller, and his expression twisted slightly."It's Grandpa."Cordy's eyes twitched slightly, but she continued looking down and eating her breakfast. John would take it outside and away from her hearing range if it were a private call.After all, that's what happened every time Jessica called."What is it?"After a moment, a hint of panic flashed across John's face. Cordy wondered what had happened that could cause John's mood to change so drastically. She could see his hand holding the phone had also started to shake.His eyes also seemed to have reddened."Okay. I got it."John put his phone down and sat silently for a long time, his eyes staring at nothing in particular."What happened?" Cordy finally asked.What had overwhelmed John to this state?"Jay, he... there's been an accident," John said, clearly trying his best to control the emotions in his voice.Cordy felt her heart get stuck in
