NovelUSAChapter 242 "Serena, wait!" Zach chased after her and stopped her in the lobby.
Serena paused, turning to look at him. "Mr. Foster, why did you leave the meeting room to chere?" "Larson Group's investment project is far beyond what I imagined," Zach said, slowing his pace as he walked up to her.
He wore a concerned expression and looked at her anxiously. "Did Hugh really not give you any special treatment? Or have you perhaps sacrificed something?" "No," Serena replied calmly, shaking her head.
The project was entirely handled by Hugh's team, with the plan based on their own research. Furthermore, any help she had received from Hugh was purely mutually beneficial, so there was nothing sacrificed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZach didn't seem convinced. Still worried, he reached out as if to take her hand.
"Are you sure? Or have you already sacrificed something important without realizing it? Men like Hugh are always..." Serena quickly pulled her hand away and stepped back. "Stop it. My relationship with Hugh is above board. You, as an outsider, have no say in it." "Above board? He already has a wife! You're just his mistress!" Zach shouted, too agitated to care about the situation. He paid no attention to the occasion, nor to Serena's reputation.
The front desk staff and other employees turned to look, drawn by the commotion. Serena felt a headache coming on. "I'm his wife. I've already married him." "Serena, why are you talking nonsense?" Wendy, who had been waiting outside, entered just in tto hear Serena's words. She quickly stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Zach's as she looked at Serena with feigned concern.
"Serena, are you really buying into all that nonsense you read online? The only ones who are unloved are the people caught in the middle. Do you honestly believe that? "Even if you've had your differences with Zach, spreading rumors like this won't help anything. He's a respected man, and you shouldn't tarnish his reputation like that." Zach agreed with what Wendy had just said. "Serena, you really shouldn't speak like that." Serena couldn't help but laugh, flashing a forced smile.
"You two must be blind if you still don't get it. If Hugh wasn't my husband, why would he always bringto important events while making sure that I'm in the spotlight? After all the times you've seenby his side, you still don't believe it? You might as well donate your eyes to someone who needs them. There's no point in wasting them." Even with those words, Wendy still refused to believe it.
"Serena, rich men play around all the time. Besides, Zach and I have asked Mr. Larson's wife, and she said she doesn't mind if he has mistresses. Maybe you're just taking advantage of that loophole." Zach nodded, clearly in agreement with Wendy.
Serena fell silent.
Well, she had walked right into that one.
Still, there was no point in arguing with people who refused ṭalisten. e She was done wasting her breath.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe decided to leave, but before she had barely taken two steps, Wendy's voice rang out behind her.
"Serena, you threw away over ten years with Zach without a second thought. Do you really think aman like Mr. Larson, proud as he is, won't E worry that you'll do the sto him? He'd never truly trust you... You're just a passing fling, so don't take it too seriously." "Wendy is right, Serena. Don't let that old man fool you," Zach said.
Serena finally stopped. She lifted her gaze, catching her own reflection in the glass.
Suddenly, she laughed.
So, that was how Zach saw it? Did he think she had thrown away over ten years been hers to lose? like it had
