Zachary murmured, “That car-”

He remembered that car as Tessa had driven that exact one when she was in Haverford.

Wendy had even mocked her for being vain, claiming Tessa had rented an expensive car just for the photo opportunities.

He had agreed with her back then. But now, he realized how stupid he had been.

Suddenly, he paled as he seemed to have recalled something else. He asked in a trembling voice, “Is that ring you’re wearing the Chaumet ring you were trying out a few days ago? Back then…

“Tessa, we were still together back then. Were you that eager to start trying on rings? You’ve betrayed our relationship! How could you do such a thing?”

Tessa had just about had enough of him accusing her of such rubbish, so she chuckled and said, “Our relationship? Didn’t you say that you kept looking for the ways I resembled Wendy?”

Zachary tensed as he paled. “H-How do you know about that?”

She looked at him coldly and said, “That’s not the only thing that I know. I also knew that you were lying to me that night when you claimed you had some emergency to handle at the office. You were actually at the airport, picking Wendy up.

“I also knew that you brought Wendy to a hotel after leaving Jodie’s birthday party. We hadn’t broken up yet at the time, yes?

“You’ve already cheated on me. So what right do you have to talk to me about ‘our relationship’?”

Zachary’s eyes were filled with pain as he shook his head. “It’s not like that. Tessa, you need to listen to me. Things aren’t how you think they are ”

Tessa did not want to listen to any more of his nonsense, so she opened her car door and got in.

As she started her engine, Zachary stood in front of her car and kept tapping on the hood. He continued

to open and close his mouth repeatedly, looking like he was trying to say something.

Noticing that he had no plans of moving, she stepped on the accelerator in annoyance.

Zachary did not have enough time to dodge her moving car and was knocked into the grassy field with a bang.

With a sullen expression, she

proceeded to drive off without

sparing Zachary another glance. She did not seem to care if he was hurt.

or not as she did not look back once.

Zachary gritted his teeth as he stood up. His leg was injured, and he could only limp away.

Watching the blue Bentley slowly disappear from his sight, he felt his heart drop. He felt like he was in so much pain that he could barely even breathe.

A bystander, who had just witnessed

Zachary get knocked over, askedzin concern, “Are you alright? The person who ran into you has driven away. Are you going to report this incident to the police?”

Zachary shook his head and said, “It’s alright. I just had a fight with my wife.”

The bystander’s eyes widened in understanding. He then said, “Oh, it’s a relationship problem. However, your wife seems quite violent. Did you come here to divorce her?”

Zachary smiled and said, “How can I possibly do such a thing? We have a great relationship. She’s just mad at for now. It’ll be fine once lebax her and make her happy again.”

The bystander looked at him incredulously, and the man’s expression seemed to scream, “I respect your decision, and I wish you well.”

…

The lounge in Shelton Law Firm was quite busy today. A group of people were gathered there as they began to gossip.

“Have you guys heard? Sarah, the manager of the litigation department, has just resigned.”

“Is that true? She’s been doing fine. Why did she resign so suddenly?”

“I’m not sure. All I know is that she had chosen to hand in her resignation letter.”

Tessa was not in the mood to gossip, so she walked past them indifferently and returned to her office.

She had barely sat for a few minutes when someone violently kicked open her office door.

“Tessa, what are you trying to do here? How dare you file a lawsuit against me?” William shouted in anger while storming into her office.
