Mary felt that everything was Lexi's fault.Lexi maintained a calm expression. She knew that the petty Mary was once more holding a grudge against her."Let's go, Lexi." Gwen was aware of the feud between Lexi and Yvonne from online gossip.When she saw Yvonne, she sized her up and thought her figure was no better than Lexi's. She felt that Zachary really had poor taste in women.Yvonne clung to Zachary's arm and said softly, "Zach, I have a prenatal checkup later. Can you come with me?"As she said this, Lexi and Gwen had just stood up from their seats, ready to leave.Lexi raised an eyebrow and smirked.Zachary glanced at Yvonne's belly. "Okay.""Lexi," Yvonne suddenly called out.Lexi pretended not to hear and continued walking away.From behind, Yvonne's voice reached her. "Lexi, I'm sorry."Lexi wondered what exactly it was Yvonne was sorry for. After all, matters of the heart shouldn't be forced.Yvonne watched Lexi's back as she exited the café, then looked up

Jason stole a glance at Claude and returned his attention to the road when he saw the latter sleeping.Lexi felt cold inside the car. Her clothes were slightly revealing, and goosebumps littered her exposed skin. She rubbed her arms and glanced down at her chest, noticing her strapless top slipping. She pulled up her black tube top, frustrated at how loose it was."Turn the heater up," came a low and groggy voice.Jason cocked a brow and adjusted the heater. He knew both he and Claude were actually feeling hot. He looked in the rearview mirror to catch a glimpse of Claude's expression but couldn't discern anything.Lexi turned to look at Claude beside her, who was also looking at her. His gaze was dark yet indifferent, unabashedly trailing from her face to her legs.Lexi pressed her legs together.After scrutinizing Lexi's provocative outfit, Claude averted his gaze and closed his eyes again.The car fell silent.Lexi looked down and sent a message to the person she had asked t

Zachary paused. "I didn't think it would be necessary to throw it away."Lexi smiled. "True."She draped the jacket over herself again, and something flashed in Zachary's eyes.As they left Whisk Eats, Lexi said, "You guys go ahead. I still have something to attend to. I'll pick up the car I left at the office tomorrow."Quinton reminded, "Be careful. Call me if you need anything."Lexi nodded.Zachary entered the car and pursed his lips at the lively Lexi outside before turning away. "To Royaltree Estate."Lexi took another selfie after Zachary and Quinton left. This time, she was pictured wearing his suit jacket. She posted it on her social media again. "My clothes are a little revealing today. It feels a bit chilly."She smirked to herself. "I hope you enjoy my gift, Yvonne."At Royaltree Estate, Yvonne was still recovering postpartum. She took her daughter from the babysitter and tried to feed her with a bottle."Has Zachary returned home yet?" she asked, gazing

Back at the hospital, Claude calmly put his phone back into his pocket.Lexi had been sick for two days before finally going to the Jenkins Corporation parking lot to retrieve her car. Naturally, she also needed to return Zachary's suit jacket.When she arrived at Jenkins Corporation, she called Quinton. "Mr. Shaw, I have Mr. Jenkins' jacket with me. Can you take it to him?"Quinton told her to wait a moment and hung up. He knocked on the president's office door. "Mr. Jenkins, Lexi has brought your jacket back."Zachary paused before saying, "Go and get it."Lexi waited in the reception area. Soon, Quinton came out from the lift. "Lexi, Mr. Jenkins is busy right now."Lexi arched a brow and joked, "Is Mr. Jenkins afraid of me?"Quinton cleared his throat. Lexi used to be so aloof and would never make such jokes. She handed the jacket to Quinton and left briskly.Quinton delivered the jacket to Zachary's office. "Lexi has left.""Alright. Just leave it there," Zachary r

"Alright. Thank you, Lexi." Gwen left the kitchen and sat on the couch to watch TV while waiting.After Gwen exited the kitchen, Lexi smiled helplessly. She thought her own acting skills were impressive. She managed to convince everyone to think that she was still in love with Zachary.Lexi's cooking was excellent, and the two ate until they were stuffed."Lexi, there's an auction in two days. Can you accompany me?" Gwen asked."Sure. What are you planning to bid on?" Lexi hummed."The blue heart diamond." Gwen looked determined.…Two days later, Lexi and Gwen went to the auction. Lexi didn't wear anything too revealing, as it wasn't appropriate for such an event.As they exited the car, a silver car pulled up in front of them. The driver got out and opened the door. Claude stepped out, dressed casually in a black shirt with a few buttons undone.On the other side of the vehicle, a woman in a fitted dress stepped out and walked over to Claude. Gwen was about to call o
