I calmed my emotions and adjusted my stepmother’s collar:
“Keep this money. If possible, divorce him.”
“Find a new place and live a good life. Don’t let him force you to drink with those leaders he wants to suck up to anymore.”
After saying this, I patted my clothes and prepared to leave.
“He, that Zachary Goodwin, has he bullied you?”
“Do you like him?”
I didn’t turn around, just smiled at the doorknob:
“He’s never bullied me. On the contrary, he’s been a bit better to me than you all.”
I remember once when I fainted in front of Zachary due to low blood sugar, after that he had the housekeeper send prepared tonics to school every day.
Once when watching a movie, I casually mentioned that the female lead’s dress was pretty.
The next day, an even more expensive and prettier dress would be sent to me.
Though he’s not a good person, he hasn’t reached the level where I would hate him.
Although I don’t hate him, I don’t like him either.
“Things like ‘liking‘ are not within my scope of consideration. I just need my plan to
succeed.”
“I need his money, his protection, but I don’t need his love at all.”
After saying all this, I felt relieved and opened the door.
And then… I bumped into a familiar pair of eyes.

The air seemed to freese
Only a suffocating sense of antety remained.
I blinked and gave a smile that failed to disguise my true feelings.
“Heard everything?”
Zachary pulled me up the stairs to the roofco.
He still didn’t say a word, just silently approached me.
He had lost some weight, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn’t rested well for a long
time.
Just as I was about to speak, he kissed me almost fiercel
Like a beast tearing at its prey.
I tasted blood in my mouth.
Just when I thought he was going to die with me, Zachary let me go and leaned on me.
“So this is how you look at me when you’re not acting, huh.”
His voice was a bit low.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you planning to leave after deceiving me?”
Zachary’s words carried a hint of viciousness.
I replied without hiding:
“Mm, so are you planning to take revenge on me?”
I was frantically thinking about what to do if Zachary really wanted revenge.

As I was thinking wildly, Zachary laughed softly, then sighed and said:
“Do you have enough money?”
What??
My brain seemed to stop working.
Zachary straightened up and held my face:
“Is the money enough? Do you need me to transfer more to you?”
“No need, it’s enough.”
I firmly refused.
The things Zachary had given me, I had sold them all. Even after giving my stepmother a
million dollars, there was still a lot left.
“Really? Is it enough? Enough for you to eat well and live well…”
“Zachary, let’s end it here.”
I interrupted Zachary’s words and looked at him seriously.
Zachary fell silent, then the black electronic watch–like thing on his wrist started flashing.
“What’s that?”
I stared at the flashing red dot.
“A tracking and monitoring device given by the old man.”
Zachary smiled bitterly.
As he spoke, the sound of car horns came from downstairs.
Looking down from the rooftop, three black sedans had somehow parked on the narrow
road

Four bodyguards in black suits stood outside each car.
“I made a deal with the old man to see you one last time. Time flies so fast.”
Zachary said as he lowered his head to kiss my lips.
“Take care of yourself, Lily. Our account isn’t settled yet.
After saying this, the bodyguards from downstairs had already arrived behind him.
They took him away.
