I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 396

Of course it was because of Verna. Jacob and Verna were a couple, so naturally, Steven would be jealous of him.

I looked at Jacob, unconcerned. "What do you think?"

Seeing my unflustered expression and dismissive attitude, Jacob suddenly let out a laugh.

"The answer doesn't really matter anymore, does it? Zephyra, maybe everyone loses in this game, but I sincerely hope you never fall in love with Steven. I wish you a soaring career and a happy future."

I suddenly found his gaze a bit hard to read, but I didn't dwell on it.

Back in the car, Ryan asked meekly, "Zephyra, we're not really going to the hospital to wait on that bastard, are we? Did I mess up? I was just so angry."

"I don't know the full story of what happened between you and Steven, but I don't think you're a heartless person. Since you married him, you must have been a good wife. For a marriage with a wife as good as you to end after just a year, it's obvious who's at fault."

"And especially that awful woman yesterday, so arrogant and aggressive. You've only been divorced for a short time, yet he protected her instead of you, and even threatened to call the police on you. Their relationship is clearly not normal. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so I found some guys and we beat him up."

"I had to let him know that Zephyra has people who back her up, that she can't be pushed around by just anyone. I was going to beat up that woman too, but for some reason, she was already black and blue from a fall and was hiding out in the hospital, so I didn't get the chance."

A fall? So Verna had come up with her own excuse.

I was waiting for her to cause more trouble so I could send the recording to Steven, but it seemed she was smarter than I thought.

I looked up at Ryan and saw him biting his lip, a mix of regret and worry on his face. "I'm not blaming you," I said softly. "In fact, thank you for standing up for me, for defending my honor."

Ryan's eyes lit up instantly, like a puppy being praised. "But don't be so reckless next time," I added. "Steven is not an easy person to deal with. I'm worried you'll get hurt."

Steven was far more mature and composed than his peers. His rivals were seasoned players in the business world, all of them older and more cunning than him, which had sharpened his own mind.
