Zachary listened and just scoffed.
“You asked for it.”
He didn’t feel any sympathy for the Goldstein family’s situation.
Back then, they forced Gabrielle and schemed for the benefits of the marriage.
It ended up like this, and it was all their own fault.
He was more concerned about Gabrielle’s reaction.
He looked at Gabrielle, who was sitting on the couch reading a book.
After she listened to Roger’s retelling, her face stayed calm, without any special emotion.
It was like those people and things really had nothing to do with her.
“Not mad?” Zachary walked over and hugged her from hind.
“What are you mad about?”
Gabrielle put down the book and leaned against him.
“Getting mad at people and things that aren’t worth it was a waste of time.”
Her life was very peaceful and happy.
She didn’t want those dirty things from the past to mess up her mood again.

“That’s right.”
Zachary kissed her on the check with satisfaction.
“But it seemed like Timothy hadn’t given up yet and was still looking into your stuff.”
“Do you think he could have found out anything?”
Gabrielle shook her head, “I believe you.”
She saw Zachary’s methods with her own eyes.
Since he said he cleaned it up, it must have been flawless.
“Even if he found some clues, so what?”
Zachary’s tone had a hint of arrogance.
“If he dared to come to Mossvale to find you, I’d make sure he never came back.”
His woman, nobody better try to touch her again.
Gabrielle didn’t say anything, just leaned against him cetly.
The sense of security this man gave her was something no one else could match.
“Let’s not talk about these unhappy things.”
Zachary changed the subject.
“There was a charity dinner next week, wanna go with me?”
This was their first official public appearance after getting married, and it was really special.

Zachary heard her answer, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a satisfied smile.
He lowered his head and pressed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead.
“Alright, then our Irene had better get ready to wow everyone.”
His tone was full of affection and expectation.
Gabrielle leaned against him, feeling safe inside.
With him by her side, she had the confidence to face any situation.
The charity dinner was Mossvale’s big event every year.
Anyone who got the invitation was a big name in politics or business. a top tycoon.
This was also the first time Zachary and Gabrielle showed up in public as a married couple after their wedding.
The meaning was obvious, Zachary was making an announcement to the whole upper class.
Irene was Zachary’s one and only, legitimate wife.
For this dinner, Zachary started getting ready a few days in advance.
The one and only haute couture dress in the world was flown in from abroad.
The matching jewelry was a masterpiece passed down by a reclusive jewelry family.
The styling team was the top crew used by Hollywood superstars.
Zachary only had one request, to make his wife the most dazzling person in the room.

On the night of the dinner, Zachary personally picked out accessories for Gabrielle.
When Gabrielle showed up in front of him in that starry blue mermaid dress.
Zachary’s breathing paused for a moment.
The dress perfectly showed off her curvy figure.
The little rhinestones on her skirt looked like scattered stars and sparkled as she walked.
Her long hair was tied up into an elegant bun, showing her slender, fair neck.
There wasn’t a necklace on her neck, which actually made her collarbones look more delicate, and her skin looked smooth and glowing
Only her earlobes were adorned with a pair of teardrop–shaped sapphire earrings.
