The matter concerning Livian had reached its conclusion. Now, it was Zachary’s turn to be in the spotlight.

Derek, overwhelmed by a sense of betrayal, had never imagined he could be deceived for so extended a period. The revelation ignited a furious rage within him, and without a moment’s hesitation, he headed straight to Zachary’s residence, accompanied by Madelyn and his assistant.

At that moment, Zachary found himself in a precarious situation, bound tightly to a chair, his limbs secured so firmly that even the slightest wiggle was impossible.

The members of Oceanic Empire, having completed their task of securing Zachary, had removed the sack that covered his head and promptly vacated the premises.

In a cruel attempt to ensure silence, Yannick, before departing, had collected a pile of Zachary’s own unwashed, foul–smelling socks and ordered his subordinates to stuff them into Zachary’s mouth. That night, the stench nearly suffocated Zachary, the indignity of it fueling an unquenchable fury within him.

How could they treat me like this! Who could do this to me? If discover their identities, I swear I’ll risk everything to cleanse myself of this humiliation.

Just as these thoughts circulated through his mind, the door burst open.

Derek entered with forceful, determined strides. Upon witnessing Zachary in such a degrading state, he withheld any spoken words. Instead, he marched directly to Zachary and, with a single powerful kick, sent him crashing to the ground.

The chair tipped back violently, slamming the back of Zachary’s head against the cold, hard floor, leaving him momentarily stunned and disoriented. Trying to speak, Zachary could only manage muffled noises, his mouth obstructed by the malodorous sock.

Quick to grasp the situation, the assistant sprang into action, fetching two tissues.

With one pressed against his nose, he gingerly removed the sweat–soaked sock from Zachary’s mouth.
