Chapter 93 Tell him you don't love him anymore
Cassie took the microphone from the emcee's hands. Shame and embarrassment flushed her face, causing every nerve in her body to burn. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fingers around the microphone, knuckles protruding with force.
Publicly apologizing in this kind of setting undoubtedly tore off the face of the Wood family and trampled it on the ground. As she looked at Jorge's expressionless face, she could already anticipate what awaited her after the guests dispersed. But if she didn't apologize...
She closed her eyes, knowing that the outcome would be even more disastrous!
"I'm Cassie, and here, I want to apologize to Winona..."
Winona watched this scene with little interest. Taking advantage of Zachary's loosened grip, she removed her hand without saying a word and turned around, quickly heading towards the parking lot.
She had driven herself here tonight, and footsteps followed closely behind her. She knew it was Zachary, but she paid no attention.
Following that incident just now, those who could read the atmosphere started finding excuses to leave.
There was only one parking lot for the Wood family, and it wasn't uncommon for someone to have the same destination. But that person continued to follow her until she reached her parked car.
Winona raised an eyebrow mockingly, "Mr. Bailey's car is also parked here?"
"I've been drinking and can't drive."
Zachary lowered his gaze, glancing at the car in front of her. Although he didn't say anything, the disdain that unintentionally showed in his eyes was naked.
He was just a step away from writing on his face: Look at what you've become since you left me!
Winona shrugged and spread her hands, "Oh, what a pity. Regal Oaks isn't far from here anyway. You can walk back."
After saying that, she ignored him, opened the car door, and sat inside.
As soon as she started the car, Zachary opened the passenger door and climbed in. Eyes half-closed eyes, he ordered, "Go to Regal Oaks."
His attitude was undeniable, without a hint of embarrassment.
Wide-eyed, Winona thought that someone like Zachary, even if shameless, would still have a trace of shame left. But clearly, he didn't.
She furrowed her brows, impatiently saying, "Have someone from the Wood family drive you back."
Zachary lifted his gaze, his eyes showing obvious red bloodshot lines. She had already smelled the faint scent of alcohol on him when they brushed past each other in the restroom earlier. Now, in the enclosed car, the smell was even stronger, and his voice had become husky and low from the influence of alcohol. "I won't ride in a car driven by a stranger."
Each word hit right at the heart.
At the time, when the scandal of the high-priced art purchase broke out, she refused to believe that Fiona had nothing to do with it.
If Fiona had conspired with someone, she could understand, but the problem was that she still didn't know who bought the painting all those years ago.
Zachary didn't interrupt her. His expression seemed calm, but upon closer inspection, his eyes were like a deep sea, devoid of light and exuding a chilling aura.
"I can make Thomas withdraw his investment, but there's a condition attached."
Winona had a sense of foreboding. Knowing Zachary, he wouldn't let go of her previous insult that easily.
"You need to call Matthew and tell him that you don't love him anymore."
Winona was completely dumbfounded!
Zachary really wasn't holding back on the harsh words!
She and Matthew were just friends; there were no romantic feelings between them. If she suddenly called him up and said such things, people would think she had lost her mind or became excessively narcissistic!
This was clearly an attempt on Zachary's part to sever their friendship!
Out of gratitude for Matthew's unconditional help, she knew she couldn't do such a thing. What kind of a human being would do that?
Winona waved her hand in a bored and uninterested manner. "Zachary, if you don't want to withdraw your investment, then don't. I'm not forcing you to do it, so there's no need to provoke me like this."
