• 25 Bonus

Lately, Zac had been running around nonstop trying to secure investors.

Most of the businesses in Jersey City weren’t even considering putting money into the Gibson Corporation, so he had no choice but to look elsewhere. He had been spending more time in hotels and on airplanes than anywhere else.

That day, he had just flown back into Jersey City when Eugene came to pick him up.

It was early evening, and they were on their way to a dirmer meeting

While waiting at a red light, Eugene glanced sideways at Zac

Zac was holding his phone, flipping through old photos of him and Charlotte, one by one.

Eugene opened his mouth like he was about to say something but then hesitated.

Before he could speak, Zac leaned over and held up the phone for him to see. His expression was soft, eyes full of emotion. “Look how happy we were back then.”

Eugene’s expression grew complicated.

The last time za had asked him to buy ring in Frangella, Zae mentioned that it was for winning Charlotte back

Zac told him she was about to get engaged, and Eugene had even reminded him that going after someone else’s fiancée wasn’t exactly ethical.

Ever since Zac came back, Eugene hadn’t dared to bring up Charlotte. Not ancor

Charlotte had left Harbor City long time ago. Eugene hadn’t seen her since, and he still had no clue who her fiancé was.

But over the past few weeks, spending time around Zac, Eugene could tell something had changed. Zac barely smiled anymore.

Back in the day, Zac was always the Hfe of the party during theirhangouts Now? He just sat there drinking alone, getting drunk and muttering Charlotte’s name under his breath, lost in heartbreak

Now, as Zac stared at those old photos, a rare smile tugged at his lips. It was like he was lost in memorles, using them to lie to himself

In the end, all he could do was let out a long, heavy sigh,

The light tumed green.

The driver hit the gas, and the car started moving again.

But Eugene couldn’t stay quiet anymore. “Zac, as your friend, I’ve got to say something. Yeah, you two used to have something special. But what’s lost is lost. engaged now. Don’t go down the path of doing something you’ll regret. Don’t make it worse.”

ong. I just want her with me.”

“Something I’ll ogret?” Zac scoffed, stone careless and sharp. “I told you before–1 don’t care about right or wrong.

Lugene frowned. “But she’s bout to get married. You can’t just-

Zac cut him off with a smirk. “Eugene, you know our circle. How many married couples are out there still fooling around? it’s not exactly rare for husbands and wives to do their own thing on the side.”

Eugene was silent for a beat, then sald quietly. “Just because something’s common doesn’t mean it’s right.”

Zac didn’t respond. His expression darkened, and the air between them went cold.

Eugene didn’t say anything more.

ite realized that when someohe had no sense of morality, no amount of moral reasoning could hold them back.

To him, Zac was just pallietis.
