Chapter 26
Although he knew Zoya was a discharged soldier and could use some techniques, Nicolas had always assumed those were just flashy moves for show.
Moments ago, however, Zoya knocked those two big men down right in front of everyone.
Unlike the others, Wren watched the huge display with a knowing expression.
He thought, “This woman is intriguing. The footage of the hotel room showing up on the party screen is probably her doing.
“To come up with such a way to fight back is unexpectedly clever. If she can’t handle something like this, then she does not deserve to be the captain of the Alpha Special Ops!
Wren’s lips curved. His secretary, Gilbert, naturally understood that their boss was in a very good mood.
‘It seems Mr. Richmond’s interest in Mrs. Mayer deepened, Gilbert thought.
At that moment, the hotel staff found the room. “Room 1205, they’re in room 1205.”
Hearing that, Nicolas bolted out of the party hall. Eowyn followed close behind.
Jasmine looked up at Zoya on the screen; unwillingness flashed across her face. She murmured, ‘It has come to this, and yet Zoya somehow escaped the trap.
‘Instead, it put the Mayer family and me at a disadvantage. Especially now that Nicolas and Zoya’s secret marriage has been exposed, I risk being seen as the other woman.‘
At the thought, Jasmine could not help but grit her teeth in private.
“You… you weren’t drugged?” Violette cried out in panic from the hotel room.
Zoya looked at them coldly. “What you should be worried about is not that. Everything that happened in this room has already been transmitted to the party screen through the camera in this room.”
“What did you say?” Anica and Violette demanded, shocked.
“I said that everything you did has already been seen and heard by everyone attending the party here today,” Zoya replied.
She had deliberately delayed entering the room by half an hour to prepare. It was merely a precaution, but unexpectedly it had become useful.
“Also, Nicolas is at the party tonight,” Zoya added.
Violette’s face went deathly pale. “That means everything I and Mom said in the room, and our plan, has been exposed in public?
‘If Zoya is telling the truth, how can I possibly face all those people again? Tonight’s guests are the city’s social elites.
“This is going to ruin my standing in high society.”
“You… you’re just trying to scare me, you’re lying,” Violette flailed.
“Am I lying? When your brother gets here, ask him yourself and you’ll see,” Zoya replied. Based on the timeline, Nicolas would soon learn the room number from the staff.

Violette trembled. Anica, furious, lunged at Zoya. “You bitch, see if I don’t tear you apart.”
Zoya sidestepped Anica’s attack. Anica missed and crashed into a nearby cabinet, crying out in pain.
Just then, the door slammed open and Nicolas burst into the room with hotel staff.

What made him feel even more powerless was that Anica and Violette showed no remorse and kept piling invented accusations on Zoya.
“You want to call the police? Fine. You don’t have to. I already called,” Eowyn arrived in the room and shouted at Anica, then rushed to Zoya’s side. “Are you okay? Do you need help?”
“I’m fine,” Zoya said reassuringly. In truth, she was not completely unhurt.
The two men in the room used knockout gas. Though she had been alert, Zoya had still inhaled a few breaths.
Her body had been trained to resist drugs, so those breaths were manageable; she could hold on.
“You called the police?” Violette’s face changed at once.
