Elena turned around, while Anna already ran to her and kept yelling, “Elena, now we have proof. Do you want to get away with it again? You are so evil!”
“Grandpa said that he put it in my bag, didn’t you hear it?” Elena looked at her coldly.
But Anna didn’t believe her at all, “He was protecting you! But you don’t deserve his protection at all.”
Zach pulled Anna’s arm, trying to comfort her, “Come on. Calm down. Elena will explain what happened.”
“Explain?” Elena helped Logan get into the car, then she turned to them, “Zach, you also think that I stole Grandpa’s medicine, right?”
“Elena…” Zach didn’t know what to say.
Anna looked at him with discontent, “Come on, just answer her! Why can’t you say it?”
Elena asked him again, “Tell me. Do you really think that I did this to Grandpa?”
“No! I don’t think so!” Zach denied it in a hurry. He was just too nervous to give an answer.
But Anna was irritated by his words. She pinched Zach’s arm tightly, yelling, “Zach! How dare you! She nearly killed Grandpa! And now you are still defending her?”
Zach pushed her hand away subconsciously. But the next moment, he was shocked by himself. And so was Anna.
They looked at each other with great embarrassment. Elena didn’t want to talk to them here anymore, so she got into the car and told Jacob, “Let’s go home now.”
Zach wanted to say something, but Jacob just started the car and drove away. Seeing the car leaving, Anna was angry, “Zach, what are you doing? Why don’t you help me? You also favor her, don’t you?!”
“Anna, I am tired. You can call a taxi and go home.” Zach didn’t want to argue with her and said in a cold tone.
Anna didn’t expect that he would be so indifferent. She wanted to pull him and made him stay with her, but the next second, he got into his car and drove it away.
Elena received Zach’s call on her way home. He apologized sincerely, “I’m so sorry to misunderstand you, Elena. I trust you, but just…”
“I know.” Elena looked out of the window and said.
Zach felt somewhat relieved, “Thanks. You know what I mean.”
“Yes.” She nodded. But she grumbled, “I just thought…that we were friends.”
And the fact showed her that Zach only cared about Anna. And he chose to stand by her whether she was right or not. And she knew him just because of Logan. In other words, they were not close friends as she thought.
But Zach couldn’t hear this because she said it in a low voice, “Elena, what did you say?”
“Nothing.” Elena didn’t want to explain, “I hope Anna and you can be a loving couple forever.”
‘He likes Anna, so it’s quite reasonable that he will stand by her all the time.’ She thought.
Zach felt a little strange hearing her words. And now he was restless. Anna made things even worse, and now Elena didn’t want to talk to him again. He was good at dealing with girls, but now, he was a total failure.
He happened to receive another call after hanging up Elena’s. It was his mother, Mrs. Stone.
“Mother, what’s up?”
“Zach, when will you come back and visit us? Are you going to settle down in H City?”
“Well…” Zach didn’t give a clear answer, then his mother added, “Mrs. Spencer visited us today. And she brought us good news. Her friend’s daughter is single. She is pretty, and she just graduated from a college…”
