Jessica was taken aback.

They had never confirmed their relationship, and his question sounded as if they were already a couple.
She blinked without answering and smiled instead.
“You’re not jealous, are you?”
Zane looked at the woman’s teasing, indifferent smile.
Instead of answering her, he kissed her on the lips.
Meanwhile, in a moving Bentley, Jonathan continued to sulk.
Even Zion, who was driving, felt a chill in the air he hadn’t felt for a long time.
Ever since Anneliese married Jonathan, he’d been in a good mood almost all the time.
Yesterday, he’d gotten Sunrise Residence demolished, and he went to work in high spirits this morning.
How had a simple dinner with his wife ruined everything?
“Mr. Fullbuster-
་་
Zion was about to ask if he should play some music when Jonathan asked coldly, “If a woman doesn’t get jealous, does that mean she doesn’t care about the man at all?”
Zion blinked.
“Are you saying Mrs. Fullbuster doesn’t get jealous of you?”
The man’s face darkened.
“Just answer the question. Also, stop calling her that! Are you trying to be clever?”
Zion cursed to himself.
His careless words had turned the boss‘ tricky question into a minefield.

“It depends. Some women are more easy–going and don’t get jealous casily…”
Jonathan was not satisfied and cut him off coldly.

“You’re talking about virtuous women from ancient times, right? That era ended long ago.”
Zion shrank back in his seat, thinking, If you already have an answer, why bother asking me?
Was he supposed to tell Jonathan that his wife’s lack of jealousy meant she didn’t care about him, and that he would take it as the absolute truth?
He feared that, in that case, he’d be the one getting kicked out of the car.
Seeing Zion instantly turn into a quail, Jonathan stopped pressuring him, adjusted his tie, and instructed, “Look into the elderly couple Mikita was telling us about. Find them.”
Zion glanced at the rearview mirror.
“Mr. Fullbuster, do you actually believe what Mikita said?”
Zion had followed her to the restaurant.
He believed she’d fabricated the story to lessen her guilt.
After all, if Mikita had taken Anneliese to Baytree in the raging snowstorm that night and left her at the welfare center, almost causing her death, she’d face not only kidnapping charges but also intentional homicide.
Zion figured the infertile elderly couple was just a ruse.
Unexpectedly, the boss seemed to believe her.
If the couple didn’t exist at all, how was he supposed to find them?
Jonathan looked at Zion, his fingers lightly tapping on his crossed knees.
“I asked her about the couple, and Mikita told me everything. I even asked two questions in
and she gave me the same answers each time. different ways,
“Mikita was pretty emotional then. It’s possible she could have lied, but her logic was tight, and her details were consistent and reasonable.
“She probably wasn’t in the right headspace to fabricate something so precise.”
Thinking of this, Zion realized it was true.

He assumed Jonathan had forgotten what he’d already asked earlier, but it turned out to be intentional.
“Understood, Mr. Fullbuster. I’ll look for the couple based on what Mikita has shared with us.
“They’re monsters! If they weren’t prepared to raise another person’s child, they should never have taken Mrs. Fullbuster in. Abandoning her on that snowy night amounts to attempted murder!” he cried out.
He then added, “They don’t deserve kids of their own. We must find them and make them pay for what they’ve done!”
If the couple had brought Anneliese to the police back then, she wouldn’t have suffered all these years.
Zion gripped the steering wheel, wishing he could find them immediately.
At the hospital, the nurse treated the burns on Selina’s neck, wrapping the area in thick bandages.
Billy stood nearby, still sobbing and calling for his mother.
When Selina asked what had happened, the little boy couldn’t explain properly, only repeating that the bad cops had taken their parents away.
Just then, Zacharias entered the ward.
Selina immediately turned to him, her eyes red.
“Zacharias, my parents-”
Having called the police for information, Zacharias was now aware of what had happened.
