Some of those who were not fully aware of the situation voice their agreement.

In particular, those who had gone to great lengths to gather information on Zachary and were appearing there for the first time hoped to seize the opportunity to establish a relationship with him.
Charles thought Zachary would lose his temper, but to his surprise, the latter remained silent before suddenly asking. “So, who do you think is worthy of me?”
The man hadn’t anticipated that Zachary would pay him any attention. His joy was evident, and without thinking, he blurted out, “Ms. Carston of course!”
Zachary remained impassive, his gaze sweeping over the people beside him. In a deep voice, he asked, “Is that what you all think?”
The group exchanged glances, then nodded in agreement one after another.
Zachary sat in the shadows, his expression unreadable. He gently swirled his glass of wine, remaining silent for a long time.
The person, seemingly oblivious, remarked, “I suppose you’re about to have your happy ending with Ms. Carston, aren’t you, Mr. Fuller?”
Clang!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang
Zachary had kicked over the table in front of him.
The wine bottle on top shattered with a crash, splattering its contents all over the floor.
Zachary’s face was filled with gloom, his brows furrowed deeply. Without uttering another word, he tossed his wine glass aside and stormed off.
The individual was taken aback, staring blankly at Zachary’s receding figure. Even after the door had closed, his mouth remained agape.
The people around him also turned pale, while the room instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone exchanged puzzled glances.
Even those who were playing cards on the other side stopped and looked over, not daring to draw another card. Their faces held a curious expression, clueless about what had just occurred.
“You guys carry on.”
Michael shattered the room’s silence as he went after Zachary
In another private room…
“Don’t be upset. They don’t know anything. You should just ignore them.”

Holding his wine glass, Zachary looked at his reflection mirrored on the glass surface. A wry smile emerged from his mouth. In a deep voice, he confessed. “I’m not angry at them. I’m angry at myself.”
Why did all of them think that way? Naturally, it was my actions that gave them such a misconception.
Zachary recalled a time when Lenora was out dining with friends and happened to run into him, his friends, and Susanna..
Charles had suggested Lenora address Susanna as Mrs. Fuller and offer Susanna a toast.
He didn’t stop it then. In fact, he tacitly approved it, even personally pressuring Lenora himself
It had been three years since she married Lenora, but side from the time when Charles apologized, he had never introduced her to his friends.
Even when he ran into friends while out with Lenora, he would awkwardly introduce her as his sister. His attempt to cover up their relationship only made matters worse.
In front of his friends, he had never acknowledged Lenora’s status.
Therefore, their contempt for her was merely to curry favor with him by going along with his stance.
The more Zachary dwelled on it, the stronger the bitter pang in his chest grew.
Over the past three years, he had caused Lenora too much distress,
As Lenora had pointed out, he had uttered too many apologies.
Despite knowing she was wronged, he continued to treat her unfairly, solely because she was understanding and submissive.
She endured his treatment time and time again until he pushed her patience to its limit.
At that point, she could no longer tolerate it.
Zachary lifted his wine glass to his lips, draining it in one gulp before pouring himself another.
Michael advised him, “You’ve just been discharged from the hospital. You shouldn’t drink anymore.”
In the recent instances when Zachary sought him out for drinks, it was invariably due to problems arising between him and Lenora.
Moreover, Zachary had never smoked before, but now, he was no different from a chain smoker.
From early on, Michael knew that Zachary was both fickle and deeply emotional.
That’s why he is suffering on Lenora’s account
“So, you want me to persuade him? If even you can’t convince him, I doubt I can. He doesn’t listen to me.” “Regardless of whether it will work or not, it’s worth a shot. He got severely injured trying to save you. You surely wouldn’t want to see his condition worsen, let alone lose him, would you?”
Though I don’t think it will really be that bad….
