Landon’s private jet touched down at Solana City International Airport under the cover of night.

Zoe descended the stairs from the aircraft, wrapped in an opulent fur coat, her radiant brown curls cascading around her. She slipped into the waiting car that had come to pick her up.

After the incident with the counterfeit necklace, Landon had grounded Zoe, going so far as to confiscate

her phone.

He had wanted to cut off her communication with her terrible friends, who had a bad influence on her.

In protest, Zoe had resorted to starving herself after bouts of crying and frustration. Penelope couldn’t bear to see her daughter suffer. So she had persuaded Landon to release Zoe and send the latter back to Yoarkley for a period of self-reflection instead.

By the time it was winter, Landon had reluctantly permitted Zoe to return to Cyrris. Boredom had consumed her in Yoarkley, and Landon hadn’t visited her once. It had been too much!

Zoe couldn’t contain her frustration. “Where’s Landon? Why isn’t he here to pick me up?” she complained. She unleashed her wrath on Gary Hopkins, one of Landon’s bodyguards, by incessantly kicking the front

passenger seat.

Gary, who had watched Zoe grow up and was one of Landon’s trusted employees, had served Zoe for a

long time.

He looked at her with warmth and offered a vague response. “Well, Mr. Landon. He’s been quite busy

lately.”

Zoe’s tears flowed as she punched the seat relentlessly. “Landon has changed! He’s not as good to me as he used to be! He always picked me up, no matter how busy he was!

“He never called me even once when I was in Yoarkley. He clearly doesn’t care about his sister anymore.”

Her tantrum escalated into a fit of tears. Gary felt a pang of sympathy for her. He mustered his courage and whispered, ‘Ms. Zoe, I’ll tell you something, but please stay calm after you hear it.”

“What’s it?” She sniffled, taking the napkin from Gary.

Gary hesitated before confessing. “Mr. Landon hasn’t been in touch with you because… he’s been involved with Ms. Lauren.” He broached the sensitive topic carefully.
