Tatiana's expression remained unchanged as she played the good cop. "Ladies, our intention in coming here was

solely to help Howard, not to hurt your friend. Put yourself in our shoes. No one wants to see their child locked

up. Resorting to such measures was truly out of desperation. It's better to resolve conflicts than to create them. |

hope you'll consider this carefully."

"You're all talk!" Sophia rolled her eyes. "When all is said and done, aren't you just trying to get us to forgive your

precious son?"

"Ms. Tortell, if you want to vent your anger, feel free to do so," Tatiana said calmly. "Once you've let it all out, |

hope you can calm down and seriously consider what's more important - your pride or your friendship?"

Seeing Tatiana's calm and composed demeanor, Sophia felt her anger deflate, much like a balloon, immediately

losing its vigor.

She exchanged a glance with Lenora. Although Tatiana had spoken those words, they were left with only one

choice.

With a smirk, Lenora mocked, "So, you're all pretty confident that we'll just give in, aren't you? What's there left

to ponder?"

Tatiana chuckled, pulling out paper and a pen from her bag. "This is the only solution in a no-way-out situation.

You two ladies are loyal and sensible. If | were in your shoes, I'd also want to be friends with you. Go on, write the

settlement agreement. Once it's done, your friend will naturally be released."

Lenora glanced at the notebook in front of her, then looked up and asked, "Does the deal we discussed earlier

still stand?"

Since the decision to compromise had already been made, it was better to gain sadvantages from it. There

was no point in ending up with nothing and being left with a belly full of anger.

Felipe gave a sarcastic laugh. "Of course, Ms. Wilkin, you can rest assured."

Lenora lowered her gaze, opened the notebook, and casually flipped to a page. Picking up a pen, she wrote the

words "Settlement Agreement" on the paper.

Just then, a sudden noise cfrom outside the door.

The four of them simultaneously turned their heads to look at the door.

The front door creaked open, revealing a thin sliver of the outside world

Bewildered, Lenora and Sophia exchanged a glance.

Who was it? How did they get a key to their house?

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zachary's tall and upright figure emerged from behind the door.

He was dressed in a deep navy suit, perfectly tailored to his tall and graceful figure. His expression was serene,

revealing almost no hint of emotion.

Zachary's gaze briefly swept over Lenora's face before he strode in, his eyes landing on Felipe and Tatiana. A

polite smile graced his features as he greeted, "Mr. Winfrey, Mrs. Winfrey."

Felipe managed to hide his surprise, standing up and extending his right hand. "So, it's Mr. Fuller," he said. "I've

heard so much about you. Now that we've finally met, it's clear you are indeed a promising young man."

Zachary shook his hand, giving him a faint smile. "You flatter me."

He cast his gaze down at the notebook spread out on the table, where the words "Settlement Agreement" had

already been written in bold.

Had he arrived just a bit later, the settlement agreement would likely have been finished.

Zachary leaned in slightly, his slender fingers picking up the notebook from the table. He glanced at Lenora, his

voice carrying a hint of accusation. "Is this what you meant when you said you didn't need my help?" A blush

heated Lenora's face, her hands anxiously twisting together. Lowering her head, she pouted slightly,

She never imagined that the Winfrey family could be so shameless, directly seizing Fiona to threaten them.

After Felipe saw this, his eyes dimmed, and his tone becserious. "Mr. Fuller, what do you mean by this?"

Zachary glanced at Felipe and Tatiana, his expression unreadable. Without a word, he calmly tore off the page,

crumpled it carelessly with his large hand, and tossed the ball of scrap paper into the trash bin. The expressions

of Felipe and Tatiana changed abruptly as they looked at him in surprise.

Lenora quickly rose to her feet, seizing her hand and lowering her voice. "What are you doing? Fiona is still in

their hands."

At that moment, Lenora could no longer afford to hide her relationship with Zachary from Sophia.

Zachary took her hand, looking up at Felipe and Tatiana. "This is what | mean. | don't agree with the settlement.

Howard is an adult, and he should understand what he's done. Since you failed to educate him properly, let

society do it." Felipe let out a cold chuckle. "Mr. Fuller, your opinion isn't what matters. What's important is Ms.

Wilkin's thoughts, isn't that right, Ms. Wilkin?"

Lenora could sense the threat in Felipe's words. She glanced at Zachary, shaking his hand slightly, and was

about to speak when Zachary interjected, "There's no need to intimidate Lenora; she's timid. Oh, and you might

not have been informed by your subordinates yet, but Ms. Rouge is safe now."

Anticipating that Felipe would resort to illicit methods for Howard's sake, Zachary, with the help of Elijah's

people, had been keeping a close watch on the Winfrey family's actions from the moment they arrived in

Jacaster.

When Felipe and Tatiana arrived, Elijah had already led a rescue team to save Fiona.

Lenora and Sophia were delighted.

Sophia cast a glance at Zachary, 83%1

She swore she had never found Zachary so pleasing to the eye before.

The expressions on Felipe's and Tatiana faces, however changed abruptly.

Felipe remained composed, his gaze steady on Zachary "Are you trying to trick me?"

"Whether I'm tricking you or not, you'll know once you make a call to your subordinates," Zachary said, his

demeanor calm and composed.

Felipe felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

The cell phone in the pocket conveniently started to ring."

Tatiana grew increasingly anxious, hastily retrieving a phone from Felipe's pocket to answer the call.

Something was said on the other end of the line, leaving Tatiana in a state of shock and disarray, Her grip

loosened, and the phone clattered to the ground with a sharp snap.

Upon seeing his wife's reaction, Felipe knew that what Zachary had said was indeed true.

Fiona had been rescued.

Felipe let out a sigh, his demeanor softening. "Mr. Fuller, | hope you understand my feelings as a father. If | have

offended you in any way, please forgive me. As for the matter of the settlement agreement, as long as you

agree, feel free to state your conditions." With newfound confidence, Sophia asked, "And what if we refuse?"

Felipe chuckled, casting a glance at Zachary. "Ms. Tortell tends to act on impulse. The business world is like a

battlefield. Whether one is a friend or foe, it all comes down to a split-second decision."

End of the day, the two ladies were unharmed. It might be best for them to forgive and end things on a good

note.

Otherwise, the Winfrey family would surely have clashed with the Fuller family.

Even though the Winfrey family's influence was primarily concentrated in Jeahron, their connections were

extensive and far-reaching, not to be underestimated.

Being friends with them was better than being enemies

Zachary calmly said, "I've already made reservations at a restaurant. I'd like to invite Mr. Winfrey and Mrs.

Winfrey to sample Jacaster's local cuisine. Perhaps we could continue our discussion over dinner?" "All right."

Felipe nodded in agreement.

"Please..." Zachary shifted to the side, raising his right arm.

Felipe and Tatiana then left, one after the other.

Watching as their figures disappeared out the door, Lenora pointed toward Sophia and asked, "Should we go?"

"No need," Zachary reassured her, gently patting her hand. I'll handle them." He prepared to leave. comforting

her further. "I'll be back soon. Wait for my good news."

"If you must forgive, then demand a hefty price for it, Lenora reminded without forgetting.

"Okay."

After Zachary left, Lenora breathed a sigh of relief. As she turned around, she met Sophia's teasing gaze.

Lenora's heartbeat skipped a beat. She guiltily averted her gaze, afraid that Sophia might interrogate her about

something

However, Sophia didn't ask anything. She just sighed and laid, "Nora, for the first time, | feel that Tyrant Fuller is

somewhat useful."

That was the truth

Even though it was agreed that he wouldn't help, in the end, he still stepped in.

Lenora let out a sigh.

She found herself owing him yet again.
