Chapter 432 Winners And Losers know..."

"If everything proceeds normally, I certainly wouldn't worry. To be honest, I'm afraid of someone plotting against him. This time, someone reported him deliberately, leading to his detention and investigation. Mr. Xenos, you are upright and highly respected, so you must "You're overthinking it and underestimating Zachary."

Matthew interrupted her flattery with a pointed tone. "In any game, there will always be winners and losers. The match isn't over yet. A temporary setback doesn't mean a loss. Those who are smug now might not have the last laugh. That's all. If you have nothing else to discuss, you can leave."

Closing his eyes, Matthew raised a hand to massage his brow, looking utterly exhausted.

Lenora bit her lip, not daring to linger. "Thank you for your insight, Mr. Xenos. I'll let you rest now."

Leaving the private room, Lenora followed Zephyr a few steps before pulling out her phone. She located the specific photo and deleted it in front of him. "There, it's gone."

Zephyr stared at her. "You didn't back it up, did you?"

Lenora handed him her phone. "See for yourself if you don't believe me."

Zephyr returned it without checking. "Okay, I trust you. Just make sure not to say anything careless in front of Sophia."

"I know."

Seeing that Zephyr didn't doubt her, Lenora felt a bit guilty.

If he looked at her messages with Sophia, he'd find that she had sent Sophia a similar photo.

On her way back to the hotel, Lenora kept thinking about what Matthew had said.

"The match isn't over yet. A temporary setback doesn't mean a loss. Those who are smug now might not have the last laugh."

Is he implying that although Zachary seemed to be in trouble now, he might not lose this game after all?

A man like Matthew, with his connections, would surely have inside information.

If he was confident enough to say this, perhaps Zachary had already anticipated this struggle and was making a strategic retreat to advance later.

Lenora felt reassured.
