Earlier, he had been looking forward to Zoe's retaliation. Even if she were to bring trouble upon herself, he would help her secretly resolve the situation. But she eventually decided to compromise.
She clearly was not at fault, but she would rather be misunderstood than cause further trouble.
Jay subconsciously pursed his lips.

After Zoe left North City TV station, she went straight to the train station.
She wore her mask and cap, ensuring that she was all wrapped up so that no one would recognize her.
In reality, gone were her days of popularity that right now, no one would recognize her. But she wanted to avoid all unnecessary trouble if she could.
She started to walk briskly.
Just then, someone called her from behind. "Zoe."
Zoe's heart began thumping harder.
She stopped in her tracks, but dared not turn back to look.
She bit her lip as she saw Cordy walk toward her.
Yes.
Cordy did not think that she was hallucinating.
Lucas was not a hallucination as well. He really looked like John.
Whereas Zoe York remained Zoe York.
After not seeing each other for three years, she looked slightly different.
She was dressed so…ordinarily.
She looked different from the woman of the past who was always so trendily and fashionably dressed.
Cordy noticed that even the bag that Zoe was carrying was a counterfeit.
It was not even a good-quality counterfeit, but one that could easily be identified at a second look.
Did Zoe not care any more?
Did she not care about her reputation any more?
"Cordy." Zoe swallowed her tears and smiled. "It's been a while."
