No Remarriage for us Stay Away novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420 Stirring Up Trouble Everywhere
Wesley briefly recounted, “On that day, Lenora was in charge of photographing Isla. Who would have thought that Isla's necklace would go missing...”

It wasn't as if he distorted the truth. After all, Lenora wouldn't have resigned without a good reason, so she must have been wronged.

However, he did hide the fact Isla had been deliberately targeting Lenora, instead making it sound as if it was just an ordinary misunderstanding triggered by the loss of her necklace.

“So that's how it is,” Jermaine said, leaning casually against the back of his chair, an amused grin on his face. “Wesley, as the studio's boss, you can't just gloss things over like this. It's definitely disheartening for your employees to run into this kind of situation. In this case, you have to step up and protect them. Besides, you're Ezekiel's friend. Even though it wasn't intentional, you've also put Ezekiel in a tough spot with Lenora!”

A friend chuckled and asked, “Does that mean you didn't apologize in the end, Isla? That's not right. How could you not apologize after wronging someone like that?”

Isla retorted with a roll of her eyes, her tone full of righteous indignation, “It's not like I did it on purpose. Who knew she had such a temper, quitting her job just like that! Anyway, she's found a new job now, and that incident was so long ago. Why still bring it up?”

That friend didn't say anything else.

Everyone present knew that Isla was the young miss of the Wilson family, and aside from her parents and Zephyr, no one could force her to do anything she didn't want to.

As if her parents and Zephyr would stand up for Lenora.

“Maybe we should just let it go. What's done is done, and there's no use dwelling on it. Thankfully, Lenora has found a new job,” one friend suggested. “If things still remain tense, Wesley could always treat her to a meal to smooth things over.”

Ezekiel neither agreed to nor denied the suggestion, merely subtly lifting his eyes to glance at Wesley and Isla.

After some thought, Wesley admitted, “I was indeed in the wrong, so I'll go and apologize to Lenora.”

“Apologize? To whom?”

At that moment, Zephyr pushed the door open and entered, casually asking that question as he returned to his seat.

“To Lenora,” Ezekiel replied.

“What's going on?”

At the mention of Lenora, Zephyr paused for a moment. He looked at Ezekiel, then turned his gaze toward Wesley.

A friend glanced left and right before repeating the story to Zephyr.

Upon hearing this, Zephyr adjusted his glasses and turned to look at Isla. His expression gradually darkened, his eyes a deep abyss of black.

“Isla, you and Wesley should go apologize to Lenora.”

“I'm not going! Who knew she could be so petty!” Isla snapped, then turned her head away huffily.

Then, something occurred to her, and she turned back to look at Zephyr angrily. “Why are you always siding with outsiders!”

Zephyr gave a laugh, his eyes cold as ice. “If you hadn't been stirring up trouble everywhere, why would I side with outsiders? Are you going or not?”

Beneath his glasses, Zephyr narrowed his eyes, staring at her with an aura that radiated intense iciness.

Isla's heart clenched at the sight, a shiver going down her spine.

If Zephyr were to go back and question Annie, he would find out this situation wasn't a misunderstanding but her deliberate doing.

“Come with me, Isla,” Wesley urged with a pointed glance.

At this point, rather than deliberately causing a scene that would upset everyone, it was better to step back and apologize for the “misunderstanding.” By then, if Lenora were to continue to pursue the matter, others would just see her as narrow-minded.

Under Zephyr's icy gaze, Isla gritted her teeth. Reluctantly, she rose to her feet, huffed in frustration, and left the private room without another word.

Even though they were supposed to be her friends, they were all siding with Lenora and pressuring her to apologize!

This is all Lenora's fault!

She's narrow-minded and petty, resigning over such a trivial matter, thereby causing me to be humiliated in front of everyone!

Yet, not long after she resigned, Ezekiel arrived in Fairlake. Judging from how she was not at all surprised by his arrival, she must have known he was coming and had deliberately quit her job!

Isla felt both aggrieved and resentful deep within her heart.
