"Susanna, I promised you. I will always be with you. Rest assured. I won't go back on my word."
"But you already have a wife. You're married, and you're no longer mine. What do you take me for? If I had known earlier that you were married, I would never have contacted you. never have been with you. How am I supposed to face Nora?" Susanna said, her face streaming with tears.

"It was I who wronged her. It has nothing to do with you. I've decided to mutually her, and I'm about to get the divorce certificate. Susanna, could you trust me one more time? I promise I won't go back on my word."
"Really?" Susanna asked timidly.
"Yes." Zachary nodded in assurance.
Susanna suddenly threw herself into Zachary's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. "Zack, I can't bear to leave you. I really can't. Asking me to leave you is worse than asking me to die."
Zachary held Susanna close, gently patting her back in comfort.
"Mr. Fuller, I have something to remind you of," Yelena said by his side.
"What?"
"Don't forget, Susanna is a celebrity. If your marriage becomes public knowledge, then Susanna will be labeled as a homewrecker, her future ruined. I hope you understand this. If you can't ensure Susanna's safety, then you should avoid contact with her." "Rest assured. I won't let anything happen to Susanna," Zachary solemnly promised.
"That's good, then I can rest easy. You don't know this, but back when I encountered Susanna abroad, she seemed so devoid of vitality..."
Unintentionally, Susanna caught sight of a small red mark on Zachary's shirt collar, strikingly similar to a kiss mark. Her body stiffened, a trace of gloom flashing in her eyes.
Suddenly, she pushed Zachary away and began to sob loudly.
"What happened?" Zachary asked, puzzled.

The ringtone of Yelena's cell phone sounded, prompting her to step outside to answer the call quickly.
The assistant's anxious voice came through the microphone, "Yelena, you need to check the trending news quickly."
When Yelena opened Twitter, she noticed that Stardust Entertainment was one of the trending topics.
The official account of Stardust Entertainment released a clarification stating that their investment in Cloudwater City had no connection with a certain female star. It was merely a regular business transaction, and it had already been planned since last year. The clarification was disseminated by multiple marketing accounts, and numerous bystanders expressed their opinions in the comment section, attracting a diverse crowd.
Someone wrote: Susanna returned to her country without any notable works, yet she managed to appear on the trending list quite often.
Another commented: It's truly hilarious. Some people's fans really know how to stir things up; their wild speculations forced the company to come out and clarify. Although Zachary was not an artist, he still had female fans. Under this Twitter post, these fans emerged and became active as if they had found their kin.
Yelena quickly skimmed through the comments section, then immediately returned to the room. "Mr. Fuller, take a look at this."
She handed over her phone directly.
"I hoped that Mr. Fuller would provide an explanation for Susanna. Otherwise, the bystanders would only assume that Susanna was merely trying to gain popularity earlier. which would be extremely detrimental to her."
Zachary roughly skimmed through the comments, then immediately got in touch with Miles. First, they needed to suppress the hype, then contact the person in charge at Stardust Entertainment.
Upon receiving Zachary's call, the person in charge of Stardust Entertainment nervously told him, "Mr. Fuller, I'm really helpless here. It was the chairman who instructed me to do this. The chairman said, if you have any questions, you should go and ask him directly." Zachary stepped out and made a phone call to Gerald.

"Zack, what brings you to call me?" Gerald, on the other end of the phone, chuckled.
"Grandpa, was it you who had someone clarify things for Stardust Entertainment?"

"Yes, ever since you took over Fuller Group, I have refrained from involving company affairs. Otherwise, those old fellows would run to me with complaints at the slightest dissatisfaction. However, this matter is different. I must intervene. Look at what you're doing now! You didn't even bother to eat breakfast this morning. I thought you had gone to the office, but you actually went to see Susanna? Did you just ignore my words? In these past three years, where has Nora wronged you? If, from the start, you had no intention of taking responsibility, then you shouldn't have married her. When I entrusted her to you. my hope was for you to bring her happiness. Now, how do you expect me to face Nora?"
Zachary paused for a moment. "Grandpa, I promise that such a thing will not happen again in the future. However, I hope you can discuss with me before you take any action next time."
Lenora woke up late, and the housekeeper at the Fuller residence specially prepared a new breakfast for her.
After she had breakfast, it was already ten o'clock. She was too late for work, so Lenora. simply decided to stay at the Fuller residence to keep Gerald and Allison company. She also had lunch at the Fuller residence.
As she was about to leave, Allison handed Lenora an invitation. "This is an invitation to the Aurora Charity Banquet. It was sent to me, but what use would an old woman like me have for it? You should go with Zack. Don't worry. I'll talk to him about it." Lenora could tell that Gerald and Allison were deliberately scheming to set her up with Zachary.
They were simply unaware that they had already signed the divorce agreement.
"Grandma, I've never been to such a banquet before. I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry. This time, Zack will be with you. Nothing will go wrong. Nora, you must do your best." Allison patted Lenora's hand reassuringly.
Lenora looked at Allison, mustering up the courage to nod slightly.
Lenora left the Fuller residence and headed to the company.
Upon exiting the elevator, Lenora headed toward her office. En route, she bumped into the secretary from the CEO's office.

The secretary said to Lenora, "Ms. Wilkin, Mr. Fuller said to meet him as soon as you arrive."
"All right, I understand," she said.
Lenora immediately headed to the CEO's office. Upon reaching the door, she knocked and entered after receiving permission. "Mr. Fuller, you were looking for me?" she asked.
Zachary looked up from behind his desk at her. "You're here. Did you just come from the Fuller residence?"
"Mm."
"I called you over because I wanted to ask you something, and I hope you'll tell me the truth."
"Go ahead."
"Did you tell Grandpa that I went to look for Susanna?"
Surprise flashed across Lenora's eyes and brows, she immediately shook her head. "It wasn't me."
Zachary's eyes were pitch black, staring intently at Lenora. "Are you sure it wasn't you?"
Lenora also stared straight back at him, showing no signs of backing down. "Indeed, it wasn'tAll content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
me."
She felt quite distressed in her heart.
Zachary truly did not believe her at all.
Zachary remained silent, while Lenora probed further, "Did Grandpa know you went to see Susanna? Actually, it's quite normal. It's because Grandpa and Grandma are not dealing with serious matters now, which gives us the illusion that they don't know anything. But in reality, they are well aware of everything."
Zachary responded with a hum, "I understand. You can go back first. Wait for me after work tonight. I'll take you to get your styling done."
Allison had already informed him about the charity dinner event.
"All right. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now." Lenora turned around and left.
"Wait." Lenora halted in her tracks, turning to look at him. "Is there anything else?"
Zachary raised his hand, adjusting his collar. "Next time, don't leave any marks on me." Lenora paused for a moment, noticing the mark exposed on his neck. Only then did she

realize what Zachary was saying. She smiled lightly. "Don't worry. That opportunity won't come again."
Lenora then left the office.
Zachary watched her retreating figure, her words echoing repeatedly in his mind, stirring ant indescribable feeling within his heart. There wouldn't be a next time.
He gradually relaxed, leaning against the back of the chair and closing his eyes...
