I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 205

“But if you ruin this for me, I swear I will raise hell at your family’s estate until no one knows a moment of peace. Do you hear me?”

Steven seemed to be considering something. Finally, with a dark, resentful look, he relented. Before he left, he grabbed my wrist.

“Don’t let him touch you. And you come find me afterward.”

I nodded frantically, pushing him toward the opening.

Once Steven was gone, the banging on the door resumed. My eyes hardened. I made a quick phone call, then pulled something from my pocket and opened the door.

I leaned against the doorframe, fixing my gaze on the fat man outside, and gave him a seductive smile.

“I like a man who can last. You should take something. If you have your own, fine. If not, you can have mine.”

The man’s face lit up, completely captivated. “I have some, I have some! I’ll take it now!”

As he scurried off to take his pill, my expression turned to ice. I quickly placed the object from my pocket in a corner of the room. When he returned, my smile was back in place, and I casually ran a hand through my hair.

“Draw the curtains, turn off the lights.”

He rushed to do as I said. I picked up a nearby vase and smashed it hard on the floor.

The crash was sharp and loud.

I quickly slipped out through the bathroom, opened the video feed app connected to the room, and watched.

The room was pitch-black. The fat man was fumbling around, calling for me anxiously.

Then, the door creaked open, and Janice’s confused voice whispered, “Zachary, are you okay?”

I silently made my way downstairs and found a good spot to wait for the show.

My father and the remaining guests were still drinking, chatting, and boasting.

Having met Steven, the guests were now incredibly respectful to my father, praising him, praising me, and even praising Janice and her daughter.

My father beamed with pride. “Yes, my sister-in-law is truly remarkable. You all don’t know, but my daughter bailed on her duties today, and everyone nearly went hungry. It was thanks to her that we all had such a wonderful meal.”

“For so many years, she has worked tirelessly in our home, helping my late wife manage everything. After my wife passed, she handled all the arrangements. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to focus solely on my career.”

The guests were all shrewd people. They could easily detect the clear affection in my father's praise for Janice.

They chimed in. “Yes, yes, this Aunt Janice seems very capable, a perfect homemaker. Since your wife is gone, and life goes on, perhaps you should consider developing this relationship further.”
