Nicolas thought. Could it be that I can’t find a lawyer because of Harvey? But why would he do that? To help Zoya? Out of pity Or something else?

And he clearly knows a lot about Zoya, even her military research achievements and that she’s an expert in drones. Yet 1, her husband, know nothing about it

Suddenly Nicolas recalled what the manager who terminated the project had said to him, “Mr. Mayer, you really don’t know your wife at all‘ Now, he understood those words more deeply.

After Harvey left, the others quickly found excuses to leave. Gordon shot Jasmine and Nicolas a look and said meaningfully. “Mr. Crawford served in the military for a while.

“From what he said earlier, Zoya was also in the military. Maybe they have some past connections.”

Jasmine was shocked. “You mean Mr. Crawford knows Zoya, and maybe they’re close?”

“That little tyrant of the Crawford family doesn’t stick up for just anyone,” Gordon said. “I think it’s better to stay away from Mr. Crawford in the future, Mr. Mayer.”

Nicolas’s face turned pale. The once lively private room was now empty, leaving only Nicolas, Jasmine, and Darren.

Darren rubbed his sore chest and grumbled, “Zoya sure is something, getting another man to stand up for her. A man and a woman being close–huh, I bet they’re close in bed.”

“Darren,” Nicolas snapped, “Zoya is my wife. Show her some respect when you speak.”

Darren was stunned, then said unhappily. “What’s gotten into you? I’ve talked about Zoya like this before, and you never frowned.

You don’t actually believe that crap Harvey was spouting, do you? Thinking your company’s success is all Zoya’s doing? If she’s some kind of expert, I’ll eat my hat.”

Darren was still his usual self, clearly looking down on Zoya. But Nicolas and Jasmine knew better–someone like Harvey had no reason to lie about such things.

Enough. I’ll call you a taxi. Go to the hospital and check your injuries,” Nicolas said to Darren.

The three left the bar. After Darren got in the taxi and left, Nicolas looked at Jasmine bitterly. “I let you down, didn’t I?”

“Of course not,” Jasmine said. “But really, Zoya–she’s married to you, yet she hid her past military research results.

“If she’s really a drone expert, she must have some patents. If I were her, I’d use those patents to help your company grow.

Nicolas’s eyes suddenly lit up Patents? If there are patented research results that can be integrated with the company’s development, that would be amazing, he thought.

“Also, about the lawyer–I’ll keep trying. Even if the top four firms‘ lawyers won’t take it, there must be others who will for Anica and Violette. Don’t worry too much, Jasmine added.

Nicolas said gratefully, “Jasmine, thank you

“I just want you to be well, Jasmine said. ‘After all, you’re the man I chose. I have to help you Only when you’re doing well can I do well, she thought.

Zoya packed her luggage and put it in the trunk of the car. After three years of marriage, she had surprisingly few things.

Eowyn was there to pick her up. “I thought you’d call Harvey to help carry your luggage when moving out.”

Zoya looked at the faint loneliness in Eowyn’s eyes and didn’t ask more. She knew that before she got married, Eowyn had fallen head over heels for Harvey’s uncle.

He was a lawyer with a cold personality, so Eowyn had always been the one taking the initiative. But later, she rarely heard Eowyn mention him, especially in the past two years, not at all.

He

Just then, Zoya’s phone rang. It was an unknown number, but when she answered, Wren’s voice came through. “Mrs. Mayer, if you want to return the clothes, you can come to the shooting range now.”

“The shooting range?” Zoya was confused.

“Yeah, I’m free now. But if you’re not, never mind,” he said.

“No, I’m free. I’ll come right away,” Zoya said quickly. She didn’t want any more entanglement with Wren. Returning the clothes would mean they could go their separate ways.

“Good. I’ll send you the address,” Wren said. After hanging up, Zoya received a text with the exact address.

“Eowyn, pull over here. I need to meet Wren. Could you take my luggage to your place first?” Zoya said.

Eowyn was shocked. “That was Wren? What does he want?”

“To return his clothes,” Zoya replied.
