Chapter 262
Kylie called Zola. Unexpectedly, it was a busy tone.
“The number you have dialed does not exist. Please check the number you have dialed.”
Kylie thought, “Zola has changed her phone number? Zola even canceled her original number? Is there a secret between Zola, Leopold, and Joel?
However, what Joel said must be true. Although she had not interacted much with Joel, Joel’s personality was not one to lie.
Did that mean that there was a misunderstanding between Zola and Joel?
She wondered what was going on between Zola and Leopold,
Leopold was still unconscious, and Zola had suddenly disappeared..
“Kylie.”
Kylie heard Quintina’s voice, and Kylie snapped out of her thoughts.
She suddenly had no clue about Zola.
“Did Zola contact you during this period of time?” Kylie suddenly asked Quintina.
Quintina paused for a moment.
She was about to ask Kylie why she was standing there alone. It was obvious that Kylie was a little flustered. She wondered if it was because of Ethan.
Unexpectedly, the moment Kylie spoke, she asked about Zola!
“No,” Quintina replied. “I’ve been quite busy recently. Occasionally, I remembered and texted her on WhatsApp, but she didn’t reply. I had wanted to call her when I was free, but I was suddenly interrupted by something and forgot. What’s wrong? Did something happen to Zola?”
Quintina was a little nervous.
“Zola and Joel broke up,” Kylie said.
“What? Zola didn’t tell me!” Quintina could not hide her agitation. “Why did they break up? Weren’t Zola and Joel getting on well? Did Joel cheat on her? I should have reminded Zola not to let Joel hang out with Xavier…”
“It’s not because of Joel. It’s because Zola said the person she likes is still Leopold,” Kylie interrupted Quintina.
Kylie didn’t want Quintina to blame herself..
In Quintina’s mind, Xavier really was incorrigible.
“No way.” Quintina was even more surprised.
She probably thought that Zola wouldn’t be such a person.
“Therefore, I think there must be a misunderstanding between Zola, Joel, and Leopold. But now that Zola has disappeared and Leopold is unconscious… There’s no way to know the answer” Kylie sighed. “I’m a little worried about Zola. Where has she gone?”
“Can’t you get through to her?”
“Her phone number has been canceled.”

“Then she probably is… trying to escape from everything here, Quintina concluded.
Kylie looked at her.
“She doesn’t want to have any contact with people from her former life, including us, Quintina said bluntly.
“What exactly happened?”
“I don’t know.” Quintina shook her head silently.
+11 Zola
“Then will Zola do something to hurt herself?” Kylie was shocked.
“No,” Quintina comforted her. “Zola won’t commit suicide.”
“Are you sure?”
“We’ve known each other since we were young. Previously, I watched a suicide report with her. She told me very seriously that even if the sky collapsed, she would definitely not commit suicide. She said that even if that really happened, she would tell me in advance. Otherwise, if she died, it would definitely be murder. She asked me to avenge her. Quintina could still remember Zola’s young and serious face when she said this back then.
At that time, Zola was still dazzling like the sun. There was no darkness in her life, only dazzling light.
“Will she still remember what happened when she was young?” Kylie was still worried.
“She knows that I will remember, so she will not forget,” Quinting confirmed again. “Besides, have you forgotten? Zola said that we were her last straw. Since she has not approached us, this proves that she can still persevere.”
Kylie nodded.
She didn’t spend as much time with Zola as Zola did with Quintina. Therefore, Quintina knew Zola better.
“I’ll try my best to contact Zola,” Quintina said. “I’ll inform you when I’ve contacted her.”
“Okay.”
“The trial is about to begin. Let’s go in.”
“Why are you here? Kylie asked casually.
Quintina and Ethan weren’t exactly friends.
“I’m here to observe and learn.”
Kylie suddenly understood.
She almost forgot that Quintina was a lawyer. She had almost forgotten how valiant and heroic Quintina was in her lawsuit
last time.
Kylie and Quintina entered the courtroom. Once they were inside, they regained their composure. They were used to being calm in front of outsiders.
They sat at Joel’s side.
Xavier looked back at Quintina but did not say anything.
Quintina didn’t even look over. Her attention was all on the court, even though the staff was still making preparations.
After a while, people began to walk into the courtroom one after another.
Kylie’s eyes moved slightly, and she saw Ethan.

Chapter 262
He seemed to have lost weight again. He was so thin that his bones were showing through.
Despite being tall, he gave the illusion that he would collapse if the wind blew.
Kylie suppressed her emotions.
how did not expect Ethan to lose so much weight.
Joel and Xavier watched from the side and could not stand it anymore. They
“What did Ethan go through in there? Didn’t the other members of the Hayden family make any arrangements?” Xavier could not help but grumble.
Joel said nothing. It was obvious that he was also feeling a little upset.
“The Garner family is watching. It’s hard for the Hayden family to make arrangements,” Kylie explained.
Xavier glanced at Kylie and did not say anything.
Ethan had chosen the path himself. Xavier had nothing to say.
Ethan walked to the defense table.
He was facing Kylie. He looked up and met Kylie’s eyes.
Kylie’s eyes were uncontrollably red, but Ethan’ smiled and comforted her.
“I can’t believe he can still smile at a time like this, Xavier said with a look of exasperation.
“Shut up. We must be quiet in the courtroom,” Quintina turned around and said to Xavier.
She probably felt that Xavier was talking too much.
Xavier rolled his eyes but said nothing else.
Everything was ready in the courtroom. The presiding judge walked into the courtroom, and everyone
The clerk read out the court discipline.
stood up.
The court session had officially begun.
The prosecution began to state the facts.
Unexpectedly, the prosecution’s lawyer was Adam Foster, the eldest son of the Foster family, which was the head of the four great families in the capital. Adam was also the brother of Albert Stella’s fiancé.
Adam was the most authoritative lawyer in Kenville, or rather, in the country. It could be said that none of the cases he handled had lost.
However, he appeared in court as the prosecution’s lawyer this time. This had never happened in his career, causing everyone present to be a little shocked and restless.
That moment only made Kylie even more nervous.
It was unfair to Ethan that Adam was personally in charge of this case.
The Foster family might have deliberately targeted Ethan for the sake of Stella.
With such a relationship, shouldn’t Adam avoid being in charge of this case?
