“But I can’t lie to myself,” Zola said firmly
“You’re lying to yourself…” Joel laughed self-deprecatingly.
“So all this time, you’ve only been lying to yourself when you’re with me? The smile on your face is fake? Your so-called love for me is all a lie, right?” Joel asked her.
As he asked her, tears flowed down his face.
It hurt so much.
He felt it was even more painful than watching her approach Leopold.
It turned out that losing it again after obtaining it would make one break down.
I’m sorry.” Zola did not explain.
An apology said it all.
Joel laughed. He laughed so hard that tears kept flowing down his face.
He thought that God had finally noticed him and was finally willing to take care of him.
He was even secretly glad that such an incident happened to Zola’s family because it gave him a chance to be with her.
‘Sure enough, I’m too dark. So, even God can’t stand it anymore, Joel thought to himself.
“Did Leopold agree to be with you?” Joel asked Zola.
Zola pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer because she would not be with Leopold, and Leopold would not be with her either.
If she said yes now, Joel would soon find out that she was lying.
She did not think that Leopold would continue acting with her.
It was already extravagant that he helped her today.
“Yes, we’re together,” Leopold said.
When Zola couldn’t say anything, he answered.
Joel turned to look at Leopold.
“Leopold, I’ve always treated you as my best friend. I’ve always felt nothing would affect the relationship between Ethan, Xavier, you, and me. It turns out that it’s not like that… It turns out that I can hate you so much,” Joel said.
“I’m sorry,” Leopold apologized.

It was as if other than apologizing, he didn’t know what else to say.
“We’re no longer friends. I’ll take it that I’ve never known you. As soon as Joel finished speaking, he suddenly punched Leopold in the face again.
He punched him so hard that Leopold was almost beaten to the ground by him.
He took two steps back and did not retaliate.
Zola watched from the side. She wanted to stop Joel, but she put her hand down.
“With this punch, our relationship of more than 20 years will be severed!” Joel enunciated each word.
Leopold remained silent and silently accepted Joel’s decision.
Joel left.
He left in front of Leopold and Zola.
He was such a tall person, but he seemed to be unable to even walk steadily.
He walked to the door, his hand on the door frame. He stopped in his tracks.
He said, “Leopold, don’t make Zola so sad anymore. If you love her, please love her well.”
At the last moment, he still could not let go of Zola.
In the end, he wanted her to be happier.
Zola’s vision was so blurry that she could not see Joel well.
If… If she was still the daughter of the Hayden family….
But she wasn’t.
She could not make her and Joel happier.
Joel left and the door was closed.
He slammed the door shut.
Zola’s heart seemed to have been ruthlessly shut at that moment.
Indeed, she loved him.
If she didn’t love him, she wouldn’t be in so much pain.
It was very quiet in the room.
Leopold and Zola were so quiet that no one said a word.
Zola cried silently.

Drop by drop, as if there was no end to it.
Time passed like that.
It was unknown how much time had passed.
Zola looked up at the clock in the living room. It was already past midnight.
It was already the second day.
She turned to Leopold and saw that he had been sitting beside her without saying anything.
His face was still bruised and swollen from Joel’s two punches, and. it looked very ferocious.
“Do you want to go to the hospital?” Zola asked him.
Leopold was stunned for a moment before he slowly realized that Zola was asking about the injury on his face. So he replied, “No need. It’ll recover in a few days.”
“Thank you.” Zola thanked him.
She thanked him again.
Leopold pursed his lips and was about to speak.
“I don’t know how I can repay you,” Zola looked at him and said quietly.
There’s no need.” Leopold looked calm.
“But because of me, your friendship with Joel has been ruined,” Zola said apologetically.
“It doesn’t matter, Leopold replied.
He knew Joel was just angry now.
His relationship with Joel would not break so easily.
“That’s true. What do I have to repay you?” Zola muttered to herself, “I have no money, no power, nothing. I can’t give you anything”
“Zola… Leopold looked at her lovingly.
“Do you want my body?” Zola asked Leopold.
Leopold’s heart skipped a beat.
“Aren’t there unspoken rules in the entertainment industry? They use your body to get fame. You’re so famous, so you should often make such deals, right? Speaking of which, you helped quite many female celebrities become famous,” Zola said calmly.
“I didn’t,” Leopold denied.
Zola smiled as she thought, “These are all shady matters, so few people would admit it. Moreover, Leopold

truly dislikes me. When I took the initiative to kiss him just now, I did not feel any response from Leopold. Not at all. He could be so indifferent to me. That was why he used such an excuse to reject me.”
“I’m just joking.” Zola looked at Leopold. “You hate me so much. If you slept with me. I owe you again. You might even be worried that I’ll use this to bother you… Oh.
Zola looked at Leopold.
She looked at his suddenly enlarged face.
She watched as he suddenly kissed her lips.
He even stuck his tongue in her mouth.
Zola froze on the spot.
For a second, she thought that she was hallucinating. ‘How could Leopold take the initiative to kiss me? How could he…
“Oh.” Zola could not help but clench her fists.
Leopold seemed to want more than just kissing her….
Zola wondered if it was an illusion.
She vaguely felt that he was even a little impatient.
The truth was Leopold was pushed to the limit by Zola.
God only knew how much self-control he had to use to not do such a thing to her.
God only knew how much he wanted to hold her in his arms.
God only knew how much he loved her….
Before he could confess, he had already fallen for her and her body.
Zola was under him. She wanted to push his hand away, but she silently retracted it.
“Is it a deal? Or is it regret? Or perhaps, I have completely accepted my fate, Zola thought.
She used this method to cut off all possibilities between her and Joel!
At night, it seemed to be snowing again.
Leopold realized for the first time that the snow was so beautiful. It was so beautiful, and he didn’t feel cold at all…
He thought he would never forget that snowy night and that person.
