When His Perfect Mask Shattered I Awoke (Anneliese and Zacharias) novel Chapter 614

Gianna couldn't believe it. Anneliese had already left with Jessica, yet it was her group that was told to stay behind for questioning. It felt completely unfair.

The two friends behind her turned pale, and both looked at Gianna.

"Gianna, I still need to rush home. If I'm not back by 10 p.m., my parents are definitely going to punish me."

The other friend looked irritated and angry. "Yeah, Gianna, we all—"

"Shut up!" Gianna snapped before she could say anything more. She shot her a warning look, then forced her expression to soften. "We just need to explain what happened more clearly."

Her eyes reddened as she looked at Steven. "Steven, can you stay here with us?"

Steven replied, "I still have things to handle. Cooperate."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away without hesitation.

Gianna stared at his back. The anger and frustration built up in her chest until she felt like she might explode.

Steven was not stupid. Gianna had liked Zane for many years. Earlier that night in the private room, before Anneliese and the others arrived, Gianna had suddenly left with her three friends. Then this mess had happened. Later, Zane had also been called away by a family matter.

As for Anahi and the other two, their fathers were all executives in Adrian's logistics group. To put it plainly, they all depended on the Malone family to survive.

So whatever Gianna said was what went. Before this, he had only thought his younger sister was spoiled and a bit willful. He never expected that she could go so far as to set someone up like this.

What shocked him even more was that she dared to use the family's name to pull strings at the police station. She had completely crossed the line.

Let her stay here and deal with this on her own. She needs to face it and think it through.

In the back seat of the car, Anneliese held an ice pack and gently pressed it against Jessica's face. Jonathan sat in the front passenger seat with his head lowered as he looked at his phone.

The buzzing vibration did not stop. Jonathan glanced at it and turned his head.

"Zane keeps calling. Do you want to answer it?"

He tilted the vibrating phone toward Jessica. Her eyes fell on the screen.

The faint light from the phone lit up the bruise at the corner of her lips. She tugged her lips lightly.

"Where is he?"

After everything that had happened, Zane still had not shown up. Jessica felt it was painfully ironic.
