He clamped a hand around Selina’s throat, just like Christopher had done in the ward. “You scheming woman. Even now, you’re trying to throw filth on Anne!”
Selina’s eyes rolled as she struggled to breathe, staring in terror at Zacharias‘ wrathful face.
For a split second, she truly thought he was about to strangle her to death. Luckily, they were on a busy street, and a few passersby noticed them and dashed over.
Zacharias let go of her while she clutched her swollen throat, coughing so hard that tears streamed down her face.
She brushed past the edge of suffocation in just one day. The fear clung to her like a shadow.
Once she could breathe again, she pushed the person asking her if they should call the cops. She then stared at Zacharias with a devastated expression.
“Even if I wasn’t the one paying for your mom’s medical bills, I still supported you! Zacharias, you can’t erase everything I’ve ever done because of this one thing…”
They just slept together last night, and he promised to take responsibility. She didn’t want all her efforts to go to waste.
Selina tried to reach for him while crying, but he merely took a step back and said coldly, “Support? Ha! If you didn’t take Anne’s rightful place as the Whites‘ heiress, would you be able to support me?
“Selina, you’re a thief through and through. You stole everything you have from Anne!”
His words pierced through her heart like an ice pick. Her pained expression turned in an instant. She wiped away her tears, her eyes turning sharp with a hint of satire.
“How laughable! Didn’t you know from the start I was an imposter for Anneliese? You also kept saying that I was innocent. So, why am I at fault now?
“Ha! Zacharias, you knew the truth from the start. You just wanted to believe them. You let yourself be deceived!
“You thought Anneliese wouldn’t leave you, so you indulged yourself and played with her as you pleased.
“Now that you’ve lost her, you can’t accept it because she has a new man, Jonathan, who’s leagues above you. You’re pathetic! You want to dump all the blame on me so that you can feel

Zacharias stared at Selina, who had stripped off her mask, revealing her toxic side. His fists tightened as his complexion paled. He couldn’t take it anymore and rushed to drive off.
Selina watched the car vanish into the distance with venom gleaming in her eyes. She thought to herself. Once I prove Anneliese isn’t the Whites‘ real lost daughter, Zacharias will have nothing left to
say.
At the hospital, Zion arrived at the ward with an armful of gifts. Anneliese went up to take some of them from him. “Why did you bring so much?”
“Old Mrs. Fullbuster picked them out with Mr. Fullbuster. I just came to deliver them.” Zion always stayed true to his workaholic nature, abiding by his boss‘ orders.
Anneliese smiled, her tone soft, “Grandma doesn’t know that Jonathan and I are married yet. So just pretend Jonathan is my friend later. Don’t let anything slip.”
“Huh? Okay. Got it, Mrs. Fullbuster.”
Zion was taken aback. He didn’t think Anneliese’s family still didn’t know about Jonathan, especially since they had been married for so long. Is that why Mr. Fullbuster didn’t visit?
He recalled how Jonathan frowned when he was presented with the gift list earlier. He was brooding and looked hesitant. Zion had a feeling he had found the reason why.
“Grandma, this is my friend’s assistant.” Anneliese introduced Zion to Nishay. He set down the gifts and naturally struck up a conversation with her.
Though assistants rarely handled errands like this, Zion adapted with ease and chatted smoothly with Nishay no matter the topic. By the time he took his leave, Nishay was already calling him Zion instead of Mr. Harland.
Anneliese walked Zion toward the elevator and asked, “Is Jonathan very busy today?”
Recalling how Jonathan was married but not recognized by her family, Zion couldn’t help but sigh. “Not terribly busy. But I believe you understand why he didn’t visit.”
He figured it wasn’t good for Jonathan to be sulking by himself. He ought to give Anneliese a hint, so she’ll introduce Jonathan to her family soon.

With that, he waved and entered the elevator that just so happened to have arrived.

However, Anneliese stared at the closed elevator doors in a daze. Jonathan isn’t busy. So did he just not want to visit Grandma?
When she returned to the ward, Nishay wasn’t asleep yet and was drinking water.
