Although she referred to Ezekiel as her cousin, they were not related by blood. His attitude toward her was rather distant. This so–called young lady of the Hoffman family, was not actually real.
However, if Ezekiel was hacking her up, that was a different story altogether.
“Jacaster is quite nice. You could consider extending your stay here for a while.”
“Sure,” Summer nodded gently, “Aunt Jasmine will also be staying here for a few days. Donovan mentioned that he wants to come over during the weekend.”
Ezekiel didn’t give a definite response. Instead, he glanced in the direction of Zachary and said. “Go on.”
“Then I’ll head over now, Ezekiel,” Summer said and moved toward the direction of Zachary
Watching as Summer’s figure departed, Ezekiel squinted his eyes. He summoned his secretary, whispering a few instructions into the latter’s car.
Upon hearing the command, the secretary immediately left.
Summer found Zachary in the corridor.
He stood by the window, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a phone to his ear. The raised arm caused a few creases in his finely tailored suit, outlining the shape of his shoulder.
Standing a few steps away, Summer gazed at him with affection.
With broad shoulders and a tall stature, even something as simple as making a phone call seemed. incredibly charming to Summer.
She had seen countless people start to put on weight as they hit thirty, yet Zachary managed to maintain such a perfect physique. It was clear at a glance that he must work out regularly.
People who frequently engaged in physical exercise possessed a distinctive aura.
His voice was pleasing to the ear as well, deep and rich with a magnetic quality.
Upon hearing him speak to the person on the other end of the line in a pleasant voice, Summer heard him say, “Bail pending trial won’t interrupt the investigation of the case. Additionally, the facts of this matter are clear, and it should soon be handed over to the prosecution. Don’t worry.”
The conversation revolved around Susanna and Gary’s case. Susanna had been released on bail from detention and was now under house arrest, awaiting trial and verdict.
The individual on the other end of the line said something, and Zachary’s voice was notably soft as he asked, “Nora, are you free this weekend? Hattie misses you. I’ll drop her off at your place on Saturday. How have you been feeling about the filming these past few days? It’s good as long as you can adapt. All right; goodbye.”

A hint of dissatisfaction flickered in Summer’s eyes.
Didn’t Lenora already divorce Zachary? Why is she still clinging onto him?

Zachary ended the call and casually slipped his phone into the inner pocket of his suit, ready to take his leave.
Immediately, Summer stepped forward, greeting him with a warm smile, “Zachary!”
Zachary paused in his steps, a slight frown creasing his brows. “Is there something you need, Ms. Lovestone?”
“Can’t I just chat with you even if there’s nothing I need?” Summer bit her lip, her eyes wide open. revealing the coyness of a young girl.
“Sorry; I don’t have time for small talk.”
“Wait!” Summer immediately called out to him. “I have something to tell you. The forum organizers have invited journalists to cover the event. They need your speech.”
“Please get in touch with my secretary regarding this matter.”
After Zachary finished speaking, he turned and walked away.
“Hey, Zachary!” Summer swiftly stepped in front of Zachary, blocking his path.
A hint of coldness flashed in Zachary’s eyes as he said in a deep voice, “Ms. Lovestone, I believe my stance has been clear-
Summer quickly cut him off, “I just wanted to warn you about something. Don’t let Lenora fool you. She’s been cunning and opportunistic since she was a child, and she has a knack for attracting boys. You know Jonas, right? They were inseparable as kids. Just this morning, I saw a news report that they were together late last night. Can you imagine what might have happened? Go ahead and look it up if you don’t believe me. It was a trending topic in the wee hours of the morning, but it was quickly suppressed. If there wasn’t something to hide, why would they rush to hide it so fast?”
Zachary’s expression remained indifferent, showing no particular reaction. “Are you done talking?” he asked.
“If so, then I’ll be taking my leave now.”
Watching Zachary walk away, Summer’s face flushed with anger.
I refuse to believe that I can’t win Zachary over! If Lenora could be his wife, then there’s no reason I can’t! How am I any less than Lenora?
Just as Summer was about to chase after him, someone called out to her from behind, “Ms. Lovestone!”
She turned around and saw that it was Ezekiel’s secretary. “Mr. Lamont? What’s up? Did my cousin send you to find me?”
“Mr. Hoffman advised you not to go now, but to patiently wait. He will send you a message when the time comes, and you can proceed directly to the hotel room

Summer’s heart suddenly raced, a subtle thrill stirring deep within her. Is Ezekiel about to step in and help me
Out?
She obediently nodded. “All right; I understand. I’ll wait for Ezekiel’s update.
The city’s mayor had already departed. Zachary was exchanging pleasantries with the event organizers when Ezekiel leisurely strolled over.
The organizer immediately greeted him with a smile, “Mr. Hoffman, it’s your first time attending a meeting in Jacaster. We haven’t neglected you, have we?”
“No, I feel right at home. This forum has been very meaningful. Given the opportunity, I would definitely participate again in the future. Ezekiel said with a laugh.
“Thank you for your gracious presence, Mr. Hoffman. Oh, let me introduce you. This is Zachary Fuller, you’ve met him at the meeting. And Mr. Fuller, this is Ezekiel Hoffman. You must have heard of him. Both of you are truly exceptional individuals, and having both of you here is indeed an honor for me.”
Zachary looked up, his gaze indifferent as if he didn’t recognize Ezekiel “I’ve heard much about you. Mr. Hoffman.”
“Nice to finally meet you. A toast to you, Mr. Fuller, Ezekiel said with a nod and a smile, raising his glass of red wine.
Zachary raised his glass of red wine. “You’re too kind. Mr. Hoffman.”
The organizers observed their harmonious interaction, cheerfully bringing up the topics discussed during the daytime forum.
“Over the past few years, it’s been well–known that the economic downturn has been putting significant pressure on us. The growth rate of industry has noticeably declined, and we could say that profits han taken a substantial hit, with losses rapidly increasing. Especially when considering factors that infuo potential long–term supply, the outlook is rather pessimistic. For instance, the supply of production elements is on an upward trend, which impacts our competitiveness. As for technological innovation
The event organizer spoke confidently, but there was an unusual glint in Zachary’s eyes. His loosely hanging fists slowly tightened as he lifted his gaze toward Ezekiel.
His throat was parched, and a wild heat was burning within him.
He had walked right into the trap.
Ezekiel also looked over.
As their eyes met, he flashed Zachary a knowing smile and everything became clear in his heart.
Zachary pressed his lips tightly, turning his head, he caught sight of Summer sitting in the rest area. had glanced in his direction twice, and he happened to catch her in the act. She quickly averted her gue
It must have been when Ezekiel took the initiative to propose toast. I’ve held this glass of wine in my hand she enters time, though..
Suddenly, Zachary remembered. I walked in from the corridor and a waiter approached me carrying a tres. I ook of the glasses of red wine offered to me… There’s something about that water

The organizers remained oblivious to the tension between the two individuals, continuing their incessant chatter.
Finding an opening, Zachary said, “Excuse me; I need to use the restroom.”
The organizer nodded in agreement, when suddenly, Ezekiel interjected, “You’re looking a bit pale, Mr. Fuller. Are you tired?”
The host chuckled. “Look at me, rambling on without end. William, would you escort Mr. Fuller upstairs for a bit of rest?”
William was the event organizer’s secretary.
“That won’t be necessary-
“Hey, there’s no need for formalities, Mr. Fuller. The room was already reserved for you folks,” said William.
William stepped forward as he continued, “Please follow me, Mr. Fuller.”
Zachary paused for a moment, then proceeded to walk behind William.
Without a change in his demeanor, Ezekiel subtly gave Summer a signal,
Understanding his intention, she quickly followed them
