He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 242

Zara's competence was undeniable. When she became a director, no one in the company dared to gossip.

Furthermore, Julian had specifically ordered a thorough investigation into the relationship between Sebastian and Zara. The two had always maintained a strictly professional dynamic, without a single hint of scandal within the company.

This meant the two of them were undeniably clean. If there had been even a shred of impropriety, the rumors would have spread like wildfire.

Julian leaned back in his chair, staring intently at the file in his hands.

What a painfully cliché storyline. A childhood salvation—one an orphan girl, the other the untouchable elite of the capital. One gentle and polite, the other chasing after him with everything she had. It was safe to say Sebastian was the sole source of light in Zara's life. She treated him as her entire world, perhaps doing everything since her school days just to finally stand before him.

Julian's expression was incredibly dark. If it were anyone else, he might have just watched from the sidelines or even rooted for them. After all, their story was quite captivating.

Unfortunately, one of the protagonists was his own older brother, and the other was the woman he had just married.

He could tolerate Zara being as unfaithful as he was, messing around on the side. They both knew this marriage was nothing more than a convenient arrangement.

But he couldn't stand this. He couldn't stomach the fact that for nearly twenty years of Zara's life, she had been obsessing over one single man.

A young girl's silent yearning—how incredibly poetic. How perfectly romantic.

To actually love someone for over two decades. To fight her way to Sebastian's side, only to remain restrained and polite, without letting a single rumor slip. To be exhausted beyond belief, yet still run to a dessert shop to buy his favorite flavor, leave it on his desk, and silently retreat to her own office.

Zara's love was truly noble. So entirely selfless, it almost brought him to tears.

Fuck this!

Julian violently kicked the coffee table over. To hell with all of this!

In all his twenty-odd years, Julian had never been this genuinely enraged.

Zara was truly something else. What a piece of work.

So when she said she wasn't after the Sterling family's wealth, the truth was she only wanted to silently stay by Sebastian's side, even if it was as his sister-in-law.

Even if she could only watch him from afar, she was perfectly content.
