Zachary looked at the person in charge of the industrial park.

The person in charge immediately straightened up, echoing, "I agree with Mr. Gale's approach of first reducing the public pressure, then mediating privately At most, it's about paying some money. If you let him continue like this, it would be extremely detrimental to the company."

Zachary leaned against the back of the couch, his right hand resting on the armrest. His fingers curled rhythmically, tapping gently. "The situation is still escalating. There are definitely reporters staking out at Heston's house right now. If we go and seek a private settlement now, it will only make us look guilty. Besides, the results of the administrative review haven't come out yet. Let's wait a bit longer."

Jeremiah disagreed with Zachary's idea. "The company has been plagued by negative news lately, with the stock prices continuously falling, causing great dissatisfaction among shareholders. Regardless of the outcome of the administrative review, even if the deceased was at fault, compensating the deceased's family well is a good deed that can help salvage the company's reputation"

"Mr. Gale, I remembered you as full of vigor and vitality. The industrial park wouldn't be as large as it is now without your contributions. But now, after spending so much time in the office, why have you become so timid?"

Jeremiah was rendered speechless.

The press has already set their sights on Fuller Group Do you think settling this privately will sway public opinion? If we keep this under wraps now, what happens if a similar situation arises in the future? Do we keep it quiet again? Fuller Group isn't in the habit of playing the scapegoat. If we are indeed at fault, we will willingly compensate. But if the problem doesn't lie with us, Fuller Group will not bear the brunt."

The person in charge of the industrial park glanced at Jeremiah.

Upon seeing Zachary's determination, Jeremiah sighed and turned to the person in charge. "Follow Mr. Fuller's instructions. There are reporters waiting downstairs. Be mindful of your words when you speak. Don't come off as too aggressive, but also don't be too submissive. Let's wait for the outcome from the police!"

The person in charge regained his composure. "I understand."

At that moment, there was a knock at the door from outside.

""Mr. Fuller."

It was Miles,

"Come in."

"Mr. Fuller, Jerald's secretary has responded. We're meeting at Centurial Club at seven tonight."

The compensation to the deceased's family and public opinion were minor issues. The real concern was the potential difficulties from higher-ups. This was Zachary's true purpose for coming here. Okay."

Jeremiah chuckled. "In recent years, the industrial park has been attracting more and more investors, and Jerald has always been supportive."

As soon as the fire broke out, he immediately halted production within the industrial park, waiting for the relevant departments to come and investigate.

Since the safety risks had already been eliminated, it would be better to restore order sooner rather than later. Any further delay would result in a significant waste of funds.

"The success is all thanks to the adept management of Mr. Fuller and Mr. Gale," the person in charge of the industrial park said with a smile.

Two days later, operations at the industrial park started to resume.

"Mr. Fuller, aren't we heading back yet?" Miles asked.

Even though Mr. Fuller could have returned home yesterday, he chose to stay an extra day here for reasons unknown.

Zachary glanced at the date displayed on his phone screen and fell silent.

Following the fire incident at his company, he once again experienced the wrath of public opinion firsthand.

Online, people simply echoed each other's sentiments, leaving no room for justification even when evidence was presented.

Lenora must have been filled with such helplessness and despair before.

Is the

itation provide really too late? Has she watched that interview segment yet? What does she think of it? win she still choose to divorce me?

"Book a flight for me, would you?"

It was Wednesday evening.

When Lenora got off work and returned home, he noticed a pair of handmade men's leather shoes at the entrance. Beside it, hanging on a coat rack, was a black trench coat. She paused slightly. He's back?

"Finished with work?"

When Lenora looked up, she saw Zachary sitting on the living room couch. He was leaning against the back of the couch, his legs crossed, his eyes fixed on her

"Mmm. Have you settled your affairs?" Lenora regained her composure and continued changing her

shoes.

"Almost done. I can leave the rest for others to handle.

Dressed in slippers, Lenora strolled into the living room. Zachary casually poured a glass of water and pushed it to the edge of the coffee table. In a seemingly nonchalant tone, he asked, "Did you watch the interview video from the other day?" 2/4

"Seen it." Lenora settled down on the couch, picked up the water glass, and took a sip.

Zachary paused momentarily, seemingly taken aback by Lenora's brief response. Tentatively, he asked, "Any thoughts?"

Lenora looked at him and utterly impassively, "No."

Zachary's gaze darkened.

"When are we going to City Hall to get our divorce certificate?"

Zachary froze. His gaze fell on Lenora. "Are you still insisting on a divorce?"

""Yes."

"We had already gone public."

"Who said we can't get a divorce after going public?"

"Why?"

"Didn't I mention it last time?"

"It's because of Jonas, isn't it? He risked his own career for you, fought for you, and diverted netizens' attention away from you. He let you listen to that recording, didn't he?"

Lenora furrowed her brow, looking at him with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean? Jonas fought someone for me? What recording?"

"It's nothing." Zachary averted his gaze, shaking his head. "Then what's the real reason you insist on divorcing?"

"I simply don't want to continue living with you. Go fulfill your promise to Susanna. Isn't it okay for me to live my ordinary life?"

"Is this because of Susanna? What do you want me to do? I'll agree to anything you ask."

"Haven't you always wanted to be with her? I'll step aside for

I two.

"Okay, if you don't like her, I'll send her abroad. She won't be able to come between us anymore. How does that sound?"

Seeing Zachary's unyielding demeanor, Lenora stood up, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes. "Zachary, stop deceiving yourself and others. No matter what you do, I will insist on divorcing!" Having said that, she turned around and ascended the staircase.

"Lenora, don't leave!"

Zachary embraced her from behind, his arms tightly wrapped around her waist. His hot breath fanned her nape as he pleaded in a low voice, "Give me another chance, please... Don't be so cruel!

Just as he had come to the realization that he was falling for her, that he couldn't live without her, she had chosen to pursue a divorce.

"Zachary, I've given you plenty of opportunities, yet you failed to seize any of them." Lenora lowered her gaze. "It's not that I gave up on you. You never chose me."

She was never the priority.

Even this time, Zachary only chose to step forward and clarify things when her personal information was leaked and the situation spiraled out of control.

Lenora found her thoughts drifting back to that black forest cake.

This symbolized his casual indifference and represented her most naive and purest love.

The thoughts and feelings of a seventeen-year-old girl were akin to that piece of cake-a mix of bitter and

sweet..

Had she known back then that the cake was something Susanna didn't want, she wouldn't have accepted it. nor would she have allowed herself to develop a fondness for bitter chocolates.

Just like her marriage, it was outwardly splendid. She had taken a bite full of anticipation, only to replace it unbearably bitter.

From the very beginning, it was fated that she was Zachary's second choice, and it had been destined that this marriage would always have to make way for Susanna.

She just

didn't realize that at all. Even she had been fooled by the exquisite packaging of the chocolate.

Now she understood that she still had a fondness for candy, the sweet, delicate kind. It reminded her of the fruit candies sold in the village's small shop during her childhood. They were simple, costing only a penny cach, yet their sweetness reached her heart. Presented before her now was a meticulously packaged piece of candy, offered by Zachary. She knew, nestled inside was bitter chocolate.

"All I need is this one chance."

The usually aloof Zachary, for the first time, pleaded humbly/ "Lenora, will you let me make it up to you?"

Lenora stood her ground, eventually breaking free from his grasp. Without looking back, she ascended the

stairs.

This sweet piece of candy, which was as delightful as a ripe fruit, ultimately got discarded.

Zachary's arms were suddenly empty, his gaze fixated on her determined retreating figure, a piece of his heart feeling hollow.
