Chapter 206
Leopold just got a superficial wound.
The driver braked just in time and bumped slightly.
Although there was some bloodshed during the altercation on the ground, no vital organs were injured. However, to be on the safe side, it was decided that Leopold would be admitted to the hospital for observation.
After the doctor gave his instructions, only Leopold and Zola were left in the ward.
Zola placed all the necessary hospital documents and medication next to his bed in a cabinet. She said, “These are some of the paperwork for your hospital stay, along with the medications you need to take and the ones that need to be replaced. They’re all here. It seems like your phone is broken?”
Leopold looked at Zola.
He watched as she treated him indifferently and distantly.
“Do you want to borrow my phone and call Hayden family?” Zola handed the phone to Leopold.
“No need.” Leopold shook his head.
Zola didn’t force him.
Leopold did not like to trouble Hayden family. After all, he needed to maintain his image in front of Hayden family. He would never take the initiative to cause trouble for Hayden family.
“Do you need me to hire another nurse for you?” Zola asked again.
“No need. It’s not serious,” Leopold rejected.
“Alright.” Zola nodded. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
Zola turned around and was about to leave.
“Zola,” Leopold called out to her.
Zola looked back at him.
“Go and treat the wound on your palm,” Leopold said.
When Leopold pushed her away, her hand hit the ground and left some blood-red marks.
“I know.”
“You’re now…
Zola’s phone rang.
Leopold swallowed his words.

“You’re here?” Zola asked.
The corners of her lips naturally curled up.
The difference in attitude towards Leopold was like night and day.
Leopold looked away.
He could only hear the sound of Zola calling.
After the call, Zola put down her phone and asked Leopold, “What did you just say?”
“Nothing.” Leopold shook his head.
Zola frowned slightly
“I said it’s getting late. Be careful when you go back,” Leopold said.
“My boyfriend is here to pick me up,” Zola said bluntly..
He clearly knew that she and Joel were already together.
However, when she said the word “boyfriend”, his heart still hurt. It was so painful that he felt like he was suffocating.
“Okay.” Leopold smiled and responded.
“Are you happy that I have a boyfriend?” Zola asked him.
She looked at the faint smile on his lips.
“Finally, you’ve gotten rid of me.” Zola smiled as well.
“I actually…”
“Rest assured, I’m doing well. Even better than you might think, and even better than I could have imagined. Looking back, the obsessions I once had…were truly worthless,” Zola said calmly, expressing her inner feelings in a straightforward manner.
Leopold listened quietly, listening to the disgust she felt for him in her flat tone.
After saying that, Zola left without looking back.
As he watched her leave, Leopold’s vision became more and more blurry…
A month had passed since Xavier’s birthday.
During this entire month, Kylie did not see Ethan. There were no phone calls or any message from him.
Of course, she wasn’t looking forward to them.

Chapter 206
Despite being busy herself, Zola successfully launched the high-end fashion line of Galaxy Group, which caused a significant impact in society. The sales skyrocketed daily, and the stock market value of Galaxy Group surged rapidly. In a short period of time, the company’s worth approached or even surpassed many prominent upper-class groups in Beliey. Of course, there still remained a substantial gap between it and the top ones, as those were established over generations. However, she had gained tremendous momentum, and the business community positioned her as the most promising one of the next decade.
Shw was very likely to become a legend in the business world.
She knew that with success comes scrutiny and envy.
A tall tree attracts the wind. She had always known this principle.
She even suspected that someone intentionally orchestrated the excessive praise from behind the scenes.
Of course, when she could not control the situation, she could only go with the flow.
After all, other than herself, she had to be responsible for his partners.
After working with Gideon for a month, Gideon did not spend much time in Beliey. However, they often communicated online. She would also give him the marketing plan and income report according to the schedule. The two of them naturally became familiar with each other.
After Kylie submitted the week’s sales report to Gideon, she received a call from Gideon.

“Toville?” Gideon went straight to the point.
After interacting with him, Kylie realized that under his refined appearance, Gideon was actually a decisive
person.
He was never sloppy when he did things.
He took time very seriously.
“Yes?”
“My grandfather said he wanted to see you.”
“Why?” Kylie asked.
“He probably likes you.” Gideon smiled.
“Gideon, our collaboration is solely based on our business value and perhaps a shared goal – Stella. It does not involve any other individuals,” Zola clarified.
“Don’t worry. My grandfather won’t do anything to you.”
“I’m sorry. I won’t agree.”
“Next week, Stella’s family is going to hold a charity banquet at Toville. If I’m not mistaken, Stella will definitely invite you.”
“Do I have to go?”

“As expected, the Garner family is about to announce the wedding dates of Ethan and Stella.”
“So, since it’s already established, I think you can give up on breaking them up.” Kylie was very calm. “Why don’t you care more about our cooperation? Perhaps we can counterattack in terms of commercial value.”
“You’re right. You’re more capable than I thought. If we work well, we’ll definitely have a position in the business circle. However, until the last moment, everything will turn around. I don’t want to give up for the time being.”
“Up to you.” Kylie said no more.
Gideon did not say anything.
The two of them hung up.
There was a knock on the doo
Jordyn walked in and said respectfully, “Miss Stafford, there’s an invitation letter from the Garner family in Tovillethe to the charity banquet next Saturday at 7 p.m.”
Kylie gazed at the invitation.
The stroke was Timothy.
Timothy himself extended the invitation; it would be unwise for her to refuse.
Therefore, Gideon did not think that she would refuse.
The phone rang again.
Kylie frowned as she looked at the name “Ethan” displayed on her phone screen.
He had disappeared for more than a month…
Well, it wasn’t exactly disappearing.
He could be seen on all the
news.
He was often seen together with Stella, as if they were a pair.
Therefore, she knew very well that for the past month, Ethan had been Tqville.
He was always beside Stella.
Kylie still pressed the answer button.
“Did you receive the Garner family’s invitation?” Ethan asked.
“Yes,” Kylie replied.
“Decline it.” Ethan enunciated each word clearly.
