The corners of Zoey's mouth curled up into a sneer, but her words still pretended to be unaware of the situation.

"You know perfectly well that Wyatt is a cunning person. At first, the price he set was 35 million. I don't know when he changed it. It was probably to prevent competitors."

"Then why did you and he seem to be so intimate at the bidding meeting?"

Somehow, Howard suddenly felt jealous. He really didn't like the feeling of his accessory turning into someone else's.

"I'm close to him because of you. If I didn't act all loving with Wyatt, I wouldn't be able to gain his trust, and without that, I wouldn't be able to help you better."

The reason that Zoey spoke of was exactly the same as the one in Howard's heart. Although he was still cursing Zoey as a useless thing, he quickly dispelled his doubts.

He thought to himself, "After all, it is undeniable that Zoey is obsessed with me. How could she turn into Wyatt's arms so quickly to deceive me?"

What's more, he prided himself on being scheming and capable, and he believed in his own charm, so he would not doubt that Zoey did not love him.

"I'm sorry, Zoey. I was too anxious to lose this deal. I blamed you wrongly. You have to forgive me."

"It's fine."

A trace of ridicule flashed through her eyes. She thought to herself, "Howard is easier to fool than I have imagined."

However, two minutes later, Howard revealed his true colors again.

"Then... Zoey, can I ask you for a favor?"

Her expression was filled with disgust. Zoey resisted the urge to hang up the phone and said sweetly, "I can help you with anything. Just say it!"

"In fact, this matter is not only for me but also for yourself. Only when the Windsor’s Group falls can you be considered to have avenged your parents."

Howard revealed a malicious smile, “I heard that the Windsor’s Group has multinational cooperation to discuss recently. I need you to think of a way to make this business deal fail! If it fails, Wyatt will suffer hefty losses and it will be good for us."

"Alright, I'll do it right away."

Zoey hung up the phone, threw the phone back on the bed impatiently, and slowly walked into the bathroom.

Outside the bedroom, every muscle on Wyatt's body was tense as if he was using all the strength in his body to restrain the burst of emotions.

He had heard everything just now.

He did not go to the company and deliberately stayed at home, waiting for Zoey to get up and pick up Vanny from school together. He did not expect to get such a "surprise".

The last night was like a dream, even like a slap on his face.

He turned around and strode toward the study room. The air pressure around him was terrifyingly low. He did not want to see anyone right now and only wanted to clear his thoughts by himself.

Zoey was indeed lying to him.

He couldn't tell if it were for anger, heartache, or disappointment, but he originally had doubts in his heart.

He thought to himself, "She clearly hated me so much before, but why would she suddenly want to live a good life with me?"

"Being close to me is to gain my trust... Zoey, you are so good to Howard and you are so cruel to yourself. To help Howard, you have even done this with tricks."

There was a burst of dull pain in his chest. Last night, for several moments, he really believed that she had fallen in love with him and that the beauty in front of him could be grasped.

"Dong!"

A fist smashed into the wall, and the joints of his fingers immediately turned red.

He was deceived again and again, and she continued to use new tricks.

"Zoey, are you enjoying torturing me?"

An hour later, Wyatt walked out of the study.

He reverted back to his normal self, which was unfathomable. He looked as if nothing had happened. He just quietly handled some documents in the study.

No one found there were extra wounds on his hand.
