Zachary came closer with a threatening vibe, and Jocelyn, overwhelmed by his intense presence, took a step back. “I didn’t.”
“Look up.”
Jocelyn nervously clutched the sides of her dress. She did as told and lifted her head, but her eyes gave her away, showing just how scared she was of him.
Zachary noticed a black hair stuck to the tip of her nose and gently brushed it away. “Josie, you know I don’t like it when you lie.”
“Be honest!” he said firmly.
Jocelyn replied awkwardly, “Because you’re going to have your own family soon, and you’re only keeping me around because of Dad’s favor. We’re not related by blood, so it makes sense for me to keep my distance.
Zac.
you’ve already been so good to me over the years
I just don’t want to owe you anything. I used to act thoughtlessly and do extreme things. I figured that out the last time I was in the hospital.
“You’re not just an ordinary person, and you have your own life. I’ll eventually grow up and move on. From now on, you don’t need to worry about me. I can take care of myself.
“Today was my fault. I shouldn’t have just gone off with Yvette without telling you.
I didn’t seek her out, Zac. I never meant to cause any trouble for you.”
Before her rebirth, Jocelyn was never afraid of Zachary, In fact, she used his affection to get away with things he wouldn’t tolerate from anyone else. She dared to do what others wouldn’t.
She used to ask Zachary to do things like get her water, do her laundry, and cook for her.
But that wasn’t possible anymore. Since he went back to the Price family’s residence in Dreunga and took on his role as the heir to the Price Group, things have changed.
Last time, Zachary even mentioned that he might not be around to help her anymore.
Jocelyn had always been sensitive.
Thinking about everything from her past life, she started to get scared of Zachary and was too afraid to go against him.
Zachary stared at her with a cold, intense look. “Who taught you to say these things?”
Jocelyn replied honestly. “No one told me anything. I figured it all out by myself.
“We’re not real siblings, and we don’t share the same blood.
“Dad saved you, and you’ve repaid that favor enough.”

“Answer mel
Jocelyn could feel Zachary’s anger and quickly nodded in response. “I–I understand. Zac But she couldn’t figure out why he was so upset.
She had always felt like a burden to him, so wouldn’t it be better if she wasn’t around?
That way, Zachary could focus on his own things without worrying about her feelings.
Zachary, satisfied and no longer frowning, picked up the hangover soup he had set aside and carried it out Once outside, he drank the entire bowl in one go, then glanced back at her with his cold gaze still intact “Don’t have any contact with other guys no matter who it is, and just focus on your studies!”
Jocelyn stood there, still shaken by what happened today.
She stayed tense until she heard the sound of Zachary closing the door and leaving, then she finally allowed herself to relax.
After leaving the old building, Zachary got into a luxurious Maybach, and the rear passenger door closed behind him. He gave a cold order, “Check into Christian’s background.”
Evan replied, “Yes, sir.”
After finishing his social engagements, Zachary came here. Perhaps it was the effects of the alcohol, but his stomach felt uneasy, so he closed his eyes and rested against the car seat. “Who has seen her recently?”
Evan replied, “Only Ms. Foster. Recently, Ms. Sullivan has been going to school on time, and there’s been nothing unusual.”
Nothing unusual?
Since she started playing with the idea of suicide, she had looked at him with a lot more fear.
Before, she dared to do anything to upset him.
She had indeed become more sensible!
But Zachary would rather see her like she used to be.
Zachary, always sharp, could tell something was off with Jocelyn, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it
Was.
Back at the Price Mansion, he was feeling tired, so he took off his black suit jacket and headed upstairs. When he got to the second–floor room and opened the door, a sickly sweet smell hit him. It wasn’t a pleasant scent.
Hearing the door open, Yvette, who had been dozing off with her head propped up, immediately woke up. She stood up from her chair, turned to look at the man at the door, and greeted him with a warm smile. “You’re back?”
Her outfit also had a captivating touch to it.

This was the first time Yvette had done something so bold. Blushing with embarrassment, she stepped forward, took hold of his arm, and said, “Zachary, please don’t be mad, okay?

“I shouldn’t have gone to see Jocelyn behind your back
