Chapter 123
They reached an agreement and Salma left Jason’s study.
Jason, sipping coffee, sighed softly. “Separated two couples in two days”
“Miss Stafford is a must to break up, but Miss Moore isn’t, the servant James said, understanding Jason’s thoughts after years of service. “Today, you only called Miss Moore here to test, not necessarily to advise separation. But, Miss Moore herself indeed doesn’t meet your standards.” In fact, it had nothing to do with the Moore family or Salma’s previous scandals.
Jason chuckled and thought, ‘Indeed, it is so. But, if Kylie and Salma swapped, the outcome would be different
After leaving the study, Salma couldn’t help but burst into tears upon seeing Leopold. Of course, Leopold knew what his father had done. When Jason called Leopold home just now, he made it very clear. To become a part of the Hayden family,

a the study. He didn’t refuse because he knew he could finally end the relationship with Salma. Their relationship was just pretense, but Salma seemed to have been pushing the boundaries.
“Let’s go. I’ll-take you back, Leopold said, leading Salma away.
At the entrance of the Hayden’s residence, Salma stopped. Leopold turned to look at her.
“Leopold, did you know that your dad wouldn’t accept me? And today, did you come to embarrass me on purpose?” Salma shook off Leopold’s hand, questioning him. She felt stupid, realizing the situation she was in now. Leopold remained silent, which was his consent.
Salma suddenly slapped Leopold’s face hard. The humiliation made her completely lose control of her emotions. The suppressed frustration of the day was all released at once.
Meanwhile, Zola was standing on the balcony outside her room, smoking a cigarette. She didn’t really have a smoking habit. but sometimes, in moments of frustration, she couldn’t help but light up. Thinking of calling Kylie when her mood improved, she witnessed the explosive scene between Leopold and Salima. She watched the quarrel as if it were a joke. She was unable to hear what they were saying, but she figured it must be because she had slapped Salma today. Salma couldn’t take it anymore, so now she slapped Leopold in return. Zola thought in satisfaction, ‘See. I had a smart move. If I slapped Leopold, I couldn’t teach Salma a lesson. But, I chose to do it on Salma, and Leopold would suffer too. Two birds with one stone. Here I am, the winner!
At the door, Salma’s tears flowed even more fiercely. “If you want to break up with me, you can just say it. Why humiliate me in this way?”
“I’ve told you, but you never have taken it seriously,” Leopold retorted.-
Salma bit her lip. She knew Leopold had told her many times that they were just pretending to be a couple. Once the excitement faded, their relationship would cease to exist. It was she who kept pushing for more, clinging to him desperately.
“It’s getting late,” Leopold said and stopped saying more. It was not so much that he wasn’t holding her accountable as it was that he had no patience.
Ultimately, Salma got into Leopold’s car. The car was unusually quiet. “Can we still be friends in the future?” Salma suddenly asked: Leopold’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t answer.
“Your dad said that if we break up amicably, we can still be friends. Salma looked at Leopold. “Regardless, when you need
I’ll be there without hesitation. Can’t we maintain this friendship?”
“Sure.” Leopold nodded. “If you
ou ever need help in the future, you can find me.”

“Promise?” Salma asked
“That’s a deal,” said Leopold, assuring her.
Salina felt a little better. She thought. There’s a long way to go. Just because we are breaking up now doesn’t mean we can’t be together in the future. Now, agreeing to the breakup is just a thetical retreat. I am not giving up on Leopold like this!”
Finally, the car reached the Moore family’s villa. The moment Salma got out of the car. Leopold spoke up, “There’s something I need to ask for your help. Salma was puzzled to hear that he still had something to ask for. Leopold continued, “Regarding Zola’s identity. I hope you’ll keep it confidential.” Salma was displeased. She harbored hostility towards Zola and felt annoyed at the mention of her name.
“It won’t do you any good if it’s exposed.” Leopold said bluntly.
Do you like Zola?” Salma stared directly at Leopold, Women’s intelligence doubled when fort
“Not at all,” Leopold denied.
“If you don’t like her, why are you so good to her?” Salma kept pushing.

today?” Salma
“She’s always been like that since childhood, straightforward in nature,” said Leopold, defending Zola.
“Leopold, is it because Jason doesn’t approve of your relationship with Zola that you deny liking her?” Salma was almost certain. At first, she thought the relationship between Leopold and Zola might be complicated because they were relatives. However, upon calm reflection, many clues were evident. Now, facing Jason herself, Salma deeply realized his dominance. Once Jason decided something, no one could resist. Leopold was simply no match for Jason.

Salma bit her lip and thought, ‘Anyway, whether he likes Zola ormot, I will never let Leopold go to anyone else!!
At Hayden’s residence.
After finishing her cigarette and watching the black car drive away, Zola picked up the phone and dialed. “Kylie.” Her tone was light and cheerful, in stark contrast to the person who had been silently smoking just moments ago.

Kylie’s tone was calm and normal, although faintly tinged with some fatigue.
Tm not coming back to sleep tonight. My mother won’t let me go,” Zola said, complaining.
“Okay,” replied Kylie.
“What are you doing? Still working overtime? Is it that busy?” Zola frowned. It was already past 11 p.m.

“The Garners came to our place for dinner today,” Zola said. “Ethan is currently being monitored by Grandpa in every move. He can’t call you, and he can’t come to see you. He asked you to wait for him.”
“Okay, replied Kylie.
Zola thought she had misheard. She repeated in disbelief, “You’re willing to wait?”
