I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 706

“I can't even imagine how Steven dares to do so many illegal things in a society with laws!” Rachel said, her voice filled with angry agitation. “And this is just what we've been able to uncover. Who knows how much more he's done that we don't know about!”

I never expected people in high positions to have perfectly clean hands. Steven wasn't a saint, but I didn't think he was some lawless madman either.

I lifted my gaze to Rachel. “I understand. You must be exhausted. You should go home and get some rest.”

Rachel's eyes were red as she nodded firmly.

She told me to rest well too, promising to visit tomorrow. But I spoke coolly, my eyes devoid of emotion.

“Don't bother. There's no need to come tomorrow. And unless it's an emergency, we don't need to see each other again.”

Rachel’s face froze, the color draining from it.

“Zephyra… are you still mad at me? It's not what you think with Verna and me. I never saw her as a friend. She was blackmailing me, forcing me to do things. She said she wouldn't help Horace otherwise. I… I just don't want anything terrible to happen to him. Please, can you not be mad at me?”

I watched her frantic explanation, my expression calm. My voice was soft but firm.

“Rachel, that's what Steven used to tell me.”

Rachel’s expression turned to panic. She looked at me, wanting to speak but holding back, suddenly understanding my meaning—if you can't stand by my side without hesitation, then I don't want you there at all.

Her eyes were red. “Aren't you… being a little too harsh on me? Zephyra, I'm not like Steven, who's always favoring Verna. They were already messing around before your accident. And after you lost your memory, he gave Verna a billion dollars, introduced her to business contacts, and helped her start a company!”

“He's the worst kind of cheater! You're pregnant, and he's still fooling around with another woman!”

“I was just… I was just trying to protect both you and Horace. Are you really going to abandon me for that?”

My eyes flickered slightly, but I said nothing.
