Chapter 164
“I haven’t seen her much. She’s probably hiding in her room. Isn’t the rumor out there that she’s the one who killed Yvonne?” The smile on Sean’s lips was cold.
He always had no feelings for that woman. He felt that Jonana had no looks, family background, and intelligence.
To be honest, he didn’t understand how Hayden could fall for such a woman.
Hearing this, Zachary’s eyes were filled with a playful smile, “Do you believe it?”
“Of course I do!” Sean said before bursting into laughter and clinking glasses with Zachary again.
The two drank happily, and as they chatted, Sean’s topics became bolder. “Do you really plan to be with Joanna?”
“Do you really plan to be with Joanna?”
After the incident in Room 503, Zachary publicly acknowledged Joanna as his girlfriend, and it had remained so until now. This matter became a thorn in Zachary’s heart, which would sting him from time to time.
“She is just a second–hand product used by Hayden. How could she be worthy?” Zachary said with a gloomy face, wishing he could strangle that woman.
Sean rolled his eyes and said, “But I see you’re quite interested in Yvonne. Isn’t she also Hayden’s woman?”
“How can she be compared to Yvonne?” Zachary turned his head and gave Sean a cold look, his eyes narrowed. “Hayden doesn’t understand women, but I do. Yvonne is no ordinary woman. Originally, she had already decided to sell her shares of Parker Groupto me, but now she’s suddenly dead…
Zachary tightened his grip on the wine glass.
If he knew it was Joanna who was behind this, he would never let her go.
“Is that so? That’s a shame.” Sean also felt a little regretful.
He had known Zachary for a long time and knew that he wasn’t the kind of person to dwell on things. He wondered why Zachary was so down this time.
so you’ve been down these past few days just because you lost the shares you were about to get?” Sean asked with a sly smile. Zachary naturally heard the implication in his words and laughed unconsciously, “You’re saying I’m interested in Yvonne?” “I know you. You wouldn’t even give a woman a second glance if you weren’t interested. You must have looked at Yvonne differently. I’m just not sure if you admire her, or…” Sean didn’t dare to say the rest.
Even though he was drinking with Zachary, he knew very well in his heart that Zachary would always be his boss.
Zachary wasn’t angry, though. Instead, he looked at Sean with a hint of appreciation.
“You’re quite observant. As for Yvonne… Zachary paused.
He took a sip of his drink, his gaze turning distant, as if recalling something.
After a while, he curled his lip. “At first, I approached her to get back at Hayden. But then I realized she was different from other women. She was resilient and was quick–witted. She even dared to trick me…..
Zachary burst into laughter after a few more words.
Sean figured it out. “If she were still alive, would you pursue her?”

Chapter 164
This time, Zachary fell silent. He couldn’t answer that question.
The person he hated most was Hayden, yet Yvonne was Hayden’s woman.
After a while, he finally muttered. “It’s a pity she’s dead:
With that, he tipped his head back and drained the rest of his drink, then set the glass down and left.
Sean looked at his back, seeming to understand something. “Where are you going?”
“To settle accounts.” Zachary’s voice drifted over, but he was already gone.
Zachary’s voice drifted over, but he was already gone.
Sean shook his head, and the image of seeing Yvonne at the company began to emerge in his mind.
He thought. She was indeed quite clever, gentle, and beautiful. Her big eyes were especially attractive.
“What a pity.” he repeated Zachary’s words with a trace of regret in his eyes.
He repeated Zachary’s words, a trace of regret in his eyes.
At this point, he couldn’t even tell whether it was because Yvonne was so outstanding or because her sudden departure had added a layer of glamour to her.
He thought, ‘People always miss the things they’ve lost even more, don’t they?”
Joanna had stayed in her room for three whole days.
She really wanted to go shopping, swimming, and get a facial, but Sophia wouldn’t let her. She said that Yvonne had just died. and their whole family had to act sad to seem sincere.
She didn’t understand. Yvonne was finally dead, and she wanted to celebrate it.
Even the room service she called for food hadn’t come for half a day. She felt that everyone was working against her.
Just as she was sulking, the doorbell rang.
“It took you so long to come. Are you trying to starve me to death?” Joanna cursed and went to open the door.
However, she saw Zachary’s cold face.
“Why is it you?” Joanna was shocked.
She had no contact with Zachary in private at all, and she never thought he would come to her.
Zachary chuckled playfully. “Are you finally revealing your true colors? I bet Hayden has never seen this side of you, has he?”
He was no longer a naive young man in his early twenties, drooling at the sight of any woman.
He had seen his fair share of women over the years and was well aware of their tricks.
He knew that Joanna would have a different attitude in secret.
Joanna had no feelings for Zachary, nor did she think highly of him. At this moment, she couldn’t even be bothered to pretend in front of him.
“None of your business” Rolling her eyes, Joanna tried to slam the door shut.
The mere sight of him brought back memories of that night in bed, and every cell in her body was screaming in resistance.

She thought, How could I have slept with a man like him?
Zachary raised his hand to stop the door. “How is it none of my business? Joanna, you are my girlfriend in name. Don’t forget your place!”
“You!” Joanna wanted to push him out, but the waiter arrived with the food just then. “Ms. Charlotte, your meal is here.”
Joanna clenched her jaw and opened the door.
The waiter left after delivering the meal, and Zachary took the opportunity to follow him in.
He glanced at the furnishings of the room and noticed several empty wine bottles on the table. His eyebrows shot up. “It seems my new girlfriend is a drunkard.”
Joanna hated his frivolous demeanor and her eyes were full of disgust. “Who says women can’t drink?”
“Of course they can” Zachary smiled, then looked at the salad and steak in front of Joanna, clicking his tongue in mock. surprise. There are still people who like these things? Is it to show off your good taste?”
His sarcastic tone was the last straw for Joanna. “What do you want?”
“Nothing Zachary fiddled with a fork on the table, his tone flippant but his words sharp. “I just wanted to ask if you were the one who killed Yvonne.”
