Chapter 481

Stefan laced his fingers together and rested his hands on the table. He looked straight ahead. "The ledger should really come from Mrs. Lowry, and she needs to say she's never even peeked at it."Yosef squinted, trying to grasp what Stefan meant."Even though Ms. Lowry hasn't seen the ledger, she knows she's Xever's daughter now. That makes her dangerous unless she acts like she doesn't care about Xever's business, stays uninvolved, and remains your loyal wife, united with you."Yosef leaned back, understanding what he was being told. If he wanted to keep Zara safe, that was what he had to do.First, he had to blame everything about the ledger on Sharon.Second, he could never let Zara out of his sight.Yosef said calmly, "I heard you met Sarah on a trip to Capital City before the new year. Are you helping Zara for Stanley's sake, because she used to work for you, or because Sarah is my cousin?"Stanley dodged the question. "I've heard Chase is fighting over a woman with your bu

Chapter 482

Zara noticed Shawn's throat move just a little, and the unspoken feelings between them suddenly felt real. She flashed back to high school. It was right before a big test, when she had asked him for help with studying. They were alone in the music room. She was solving math problems, and he was so focused on his book that his long eyelashes cast shadows on his cheeks, making him look almost too handsome to be real. Without thinking, she tried to kiss him. However, he quickly held her chin, keeping her from getting any closer. His eyes were still on his book. He smiled a little and teased, "Did you want tutoring or just a kiss?" That was their first almost-kiss, and his joke made her ears feel super hot. She snapped her attention back to her book and blurted out, "I didn't mean to! I was just trying to get my eraser that you were playing with!" Trying to preserve what was left of her dignity, she added, "Why did you take my eraser, anyway?" Shawn closed his book and gave her

Chapter 483

Zara explained, "I need to go back to Starville to see Yosef. It's not really his fault, and we're still married—"Shawn cut her off, "You were at the county clerk's office. Don't you know if you got a marriage certificate?""The marriage certificate wasn't done? I thought Yosef had taken care of it." Zara paused before continuing, "But even if it's not, I should talk to him in person. Ethan is the one who caused the trouble, not Yosef. Plus, my mom is still in Starville. I can't just leave her there."Shawn looked at her with a cold gaze.Whenever Yosef talked about Shawn, there was a sharpness in his voice. Shawn's way of talking about Yosef was calmer but just as pointed."Just because Ethan is responsible, Yosef is off the hook? Hasn't he enjoyed the privileges and money of the Webb family? If he has, then he's involved."Zara felt torn. She knew there was some truth to what Shawn said, but she whispered back, "He didn't get to pick his parents."And I've been his secretar

Chapter 484

The rain kept falling, as if it would never end. It forced Starville to stay in the cold grip of late winter instead of welcoming spring.By four in the afternoon, the sky had turned dark. The rain added a misty blur, making everything look fuzzy, like flowers in the fog.Yosef left the Azure Cloud Group building with Charvi close behind. She opened a big black umbrella, shielding him as he got into the car.They were headed to the hospital.Sharon was still there at the Central Hospital, under the care of the expensive doctors Yosef had brought in, with Cheryl looking after her.Something was off. The people sharing Sharon's hospital ward, the visitors, and even the folks walking by outside were all sent by Yosef to keep an eye on her.She was trapped, and she did not even know it. She could not leave without Yosef saying so, and no one from the outside could see her.Yosef showed up at the ward's entrance, and the nurse quickly found a reason to call Cheryl outside.Cheryl di

Chapter 485

"How could you lie to Zara like that? She likes you so much. She even bought a vase for the flowers you gave her, and she was over the moon on the day you got your marriage certificate. How could you treat her like this?!"Yosef just let out a cold laugh. "This way, she wouldn't run off with someone else."Sharon asked in a panic, "Who did she go with? Where is she?!"Yosef only wanted to know one thing. "Where's the ledger?"Sharon only cared about one thing too. "Where's Zara!"Yosef asked again, "Where's the ledger?"His voice was so cold it could make someone lose their mind.Sharon did lose it.Her emotions just crumbled. She was ready to do anything to protect her daughter, like a wild animal with its young. However, she was held back and could not get anywhere near Yosef, who towered over her. He was cold and cruel like a heartless devil.Sharon's hair was all over the place as she yelled, "What did you do to Zara? You monsters! Killing Mr. Gibson wasn't enough for you?

Chapter 486

Yaxley's face turned a few shades grimmer as he quietly put the uneaten grapes back in the bowl.Chase said, looking at him, "We didn't finish the job back then, and that's why we're in this mess now. If we don't take care of it properly this time, it might come back to haunt us one day."Yaxley had his reasons for wooing Zara, mostly because of the ledger. However, he also genuinely liked her. The thought of her dying made him hesitate."Let's track down that ledger first. Then, we can figure this out."Chase's eyelashes cast a shadow as he looked down....Yosef stepped out of the hospital. The sudden rain had just stopped, leaving the air fresh and a bit chilly. He walked down the steps without a word, his shoes splashing through the puddles as he headed for the car.It was dark, and the streetlights were dim. His tall figure seems to drift between light and shadow.Before he got into the car, his phone rang. It was Jenson. "Mr. Webb, if you're free, come home now."Charvi

Chapter 487

Yosef looked lost in thought as the rain poured down. Then, a message from Wilder popped up: [Yosef, we've got it. They're in Singhabor.]Yosef was stone-faced. He locked his phone and said, "Head to the airport."...The car hit a bump, and Zara's head smacked against the window, jolting her awake."Did that hurt?" Shawn asked quietly.Zara's head was fine, but she instinctively held her chest. A sudden ache there made her feel awful.Shawn had tried to cushion her head with his hand, but she had hit the window anyway. He gently rubbed where she had bumped her head and asked, "Didn't sleep well last night? You've been asleep the whole trip."Zara shook her head. No, she had used essential oils and slept great last night. She did not know why she felt so sleepy.It took a while for Zara's heart to stop racing, but she could not shake the feeling that something terrible had happened. Could it be something with her mom?No, that could not be it. Yosef would be there for her mom.

Chapter 488

Shawn looked back with a blank expression. Sadie stepped up and got right to the heart of the matter. "After the whole mess with you framing Ms. Lowry, did you ever stop and think something didn't add up?"Leah was puzzled. "What do you mean, didn't add up?"Sadie spelled it out, "The whole case hinged on the word of those two bullies who pointed fingers at you, claiming Ms. Lowry paid them off."Those were the guys with the cell phones, who faked asking Zara for directions just to get her on camera.Leah replied, "...Yeah."Sadie continued, "Shouldn't key witnesses like that have been scooped up by the police right away to move the case forward? But I remember it took the police three days to find them. Why did you set it up like that?"Leah did not get why they were digging into that. She hesitated and said, "I didn't set it up on purpose."In my plan, they were going to be caught by the police that night and spill the beans about Zara. For some reason, the police didn't catch

Chapter 489

Leah watched from the sidelines, her eyes flicking between Shawn and Zara.She was no dummy, she was actually pretty smart. If she had not been, she would not have been able to trick Zara into thinking Yosef always did what Leah said with just a few words.Then, she understood everything. Leaning back in her chair, a ghost of a smile played across her pale face. "Looks like my plan wasn't a total flop. I've even helped Mr. Webb capture the heart of the belle..."Zara's voice was stiff. "I don't need your input on what's between me and Yosef.""You're here because you wanted the truth, and now that I'm ready to spill it, you're chickening out, Ms. Lowry. Why so wishy-washy? Oh, I know. You've got a hunch, but you're scared to find out if it's true, right? Especially since you're wearing that ring. Finding out you've given your heart to the wrong guy would be just too much, wouldn't it?"Leah noticed the Eros ring on Zara's finger, but that time she not only did not feel jealous, sh

Chapter 490

Zara whipped around, her eyes burning with intensity as she faced Leah. "Continue the story, then."Leah replied, "Back then, everyone online was blaming you for what happened to me. They were all against you."Zara snapped back, "You're the one who started that rumor!"Leah held up her hands, looking totally innocent. "It wasn't me. Remember, you even had Shelby try to sue me for stirring things up? However, the court said there was no proof I did anything. So, nope, it wasn't me."Zara's lips were pressed into a thin line. She did not say a word.Leah went on, "Sure, I could've set you up, but I wouldn't have put my own photos out there for the whole world to see. I've got my own reputation to think about. However, without someone pushing the matter, I doubt it would've blown up like it did."I bet it was Yosef. He's probably trying to mess with your head and make you feel trapped. That would get you to lean on him even more."Zara's fingers tightened into fists without her ev
