Chapter 565

Zachary's gaze darkened.

"Good," he murmured softly.

Inside the Lindts' residence, Shirley's jaw was dropping after seeing Zachary's attitude. "Did he get up on the wrong side of the bed?"

Why else would he suddenly show such a dramatic change of heart? 'Yeah, he's definitely different now,” Ember replied. "1 can't get a read on him.”

"When did you ever?’ Shirley said, giving her hand a squeeze. "You'd have won him over long ago if you did."

Ember was actually left pensive just then-maybe her mother was right, and she never knew him?

But she was convinced that she did.

Peter stepped out of his office just then and told them, “I'm going out." Ember ran up to him, wrapping her hands around his arm as she asked, ' What did you talk to Zachary about last night, Daddy?"

Peter looked at her for a while and sighed. "He's been apologizing, saying that he shouldn't have asked for a divorce, and I could tell that he was earnest about it. Stop arguing with him already-you're not going to keep a man if you keep doing that. Try to learn how you could earn his favor..."

"He was apologizing?" Ember was actually surprised.

On the other hand, she had been constantly trying to earn his favor, but she simply never managed it.

“Okay, Daddy." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Good. I have something to do now."

With that, he quickly left and went looking for Tim Goldman-the rival he had recently competed for a certain project.

Tim did not appear surprised by his arrival, even asking his secretary to lead her to the guest room.

He waited for a while before rising to his feet, straightening his collar, and taking his time to head over as well.

As soon as he opened the door, Peter threw his phone on the table and demanded, "You sent this, didn’t you?"

Tim calmly sat opposite him, putting one right over the other nonchalantly. ' I did.”

"What do you want?" Peter glowered. "This is unethical!’

"Unethical?" Tim found that word laughable, and sneered in disdain. "You're the last person I want to hear that from, or have you forgotten what happened when you built that office tower of yours? People were killed, and I know that very well even if others don't.”

Peter narrowed his eyes. "I paid the damages."

'But that's not all, is it? You destroyed families just to get that plot of land, and you think it's all settled with just damages?"

"What do you want?" Peter was starting to get furious.

"What's the hurry?" Tim chuckled, and took his time before he said, "You're the one who ratted my affair out to my wife just to get that project. She's been demanding a divorce over that, and while I was too busy straightening things out with her, you stole that project...”

“It's just the truth," Peter snapped, as if he had done nothing wrong. “You were having an affair, so I was just being kind enough to tell your wife for you, or she would always be in the dark."

“Perhaps I should thank you, then?"

Tim's principle was to keep business and personal issues separate, but Peter had no such qualms-he would do anything to get what he wanted, something which Tim always held contempt for.

Smiling, Tim said, "Well, now I have evidence-including the recording- that I could send to the cops. I'm sure you wouldn't mind, right?"

Peter's face tuned ashen. "Why are you doing this to me? I have no feud with you.”

“The feeling’s mutual, but you are the reason I had to go through an expensive divorce,” Tim growled, his expression turning cool. "Not to mention that she gained custody of the kids and had since stopped me from seeing them-or I'm supposed suck it all up?"

The divorce even affected his business too, stalling or killing multiple projects because the. lawsits had forced him to reach into his company's coffers!
