No Remarriage for us Stay Away (Lenora and Zachary)

Chapter 503 A Significant Threat

"Oh." Sophia took another look at Jasmine's retreating figure. "So, it's her. She's all dressed up. What on earth is she doing at the police station?"

"Could it be for Summer?" Lenora speculated. "The verdict for Summer was just handed down. She must be here to arrange for Summer's non-custodial sentencing."

Summer's pregnancy allowed her to serve her sentence outside of prison. This likely gave Jasmine a different perspective and prevented her from continuing to bother Lenora. "Non-custodial sentencing? Why?"

"She's pregnant."

Sophia's lips twitched. "Well, well, whose child is it?"

"I don't know."

The two of them chatted as they exited the police station.

"Do you need a ride?" Zephyr trailed behind them.

"No thanks, the driver dropped me off," Lenora said, turning around.

Zephyr fell silent, escorting the two of them to the car.

Before getting into the car, Sophia glanced at Zephyr. After a moment of thought, she asked, "When will you be free tomorrow? I'd like to treat you to a meal." "Either noon or night works."

"Then we'll talk about it later."

"Okay."

After watching Lenora's car drive away, Zephyr returned to the police station.

Upon reading Lenora's statement, he was shocked to discover that Isla had actually pushed Harrietta, which had led to Harrietta's car accident.

Zephyr deeply furrowed his brows.

Even the most vicious animal protects and cares for its children.

Isla's actions against her own daughter show she's even more unhinged than I thought.

I cannot allow her to stay in Jacaster any longer.

But what does it have to do with Zachary?noveldrama

Why did Isla hold him back?

He waited outside for a few moments before receiving Alice's statements.

Alice revealed that when Isla discovered Lenora's pregnancy, she felt a significant threat. Isla wanted to confront Lenora but was thwarted by the two bodyguards always by her side. With no other options, she resorted to kidnapping Sophia, using her as leverage to force Lenora to come forward.

Alice tried to persuade Isla to stop, but she was unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, throughout the intense police interrogation, Isla remained unfazed and silent. The only words she uttered were, "Bring Zephyr to see me."

The young police officer stepped out of the interrogation room, looking pale and rubbing his throbbing temples. He needed a moment to cool off.

By a stroke of fate, he found himself on duty that day, faced with managing such a challenging situation.

Zephyr walked over and asked, "Is she refusing to confess?"

The police officer started venting his frustrations. "She wouldn't say a word, and there was nothing I could do to make her talk. Oh, and she mentioned she wants to see you."

"Leave her alone for the night. I'll see her tomorrow," Zephyr said. "There's no need to get into a confrontation with her. Just continue with your usual tasks."

"All right then."

The police officer had been informed that handling Isla's case in the usual way was impossible. So, he chose to follow Zephyr's advice and postponed deciding how to deal with it until the next day.

Inside the interrogation room, Isla leaned back against the chair. Her face was tense, her gaze lowered, and she remained motionless.

She waited for what seemed like forever, yet there was no sign of Zephyr entering.

Inside the perfectly square little room, she was all alone.

The soundproofing was excellent, creating an eeriness in the room due to its extreme quietness.

Isla felt a chill run down her spine, becoming somewhat fearful.

Is Zephyr really planning to abandon me here?

"Is anyone there?"

No one responded to her.

"Is anyone there? I surrender..." Isla's voice trembled slightly.

Still, no one responded to her.

She could do nothing but wait.

Soon, exhaustion, hunger, and fatigue set in.

After dozing off briefly, she awoke with a start. Realizing she was still alone in the interrogation room, she quickly regained her composure.

She had no idea what time it was.

The following morning, when Zephyr came to see Isla, he noticed that she looked haggard. Her face was pale, with dark circles under her eyes, and she seemed utterly listless, her usual vitality completely drained.

Upon hearing the sound of the door

opening, Isla glanced up, her eyes sparkling. She immediately sat upright and pleaded, "Zephyr, you're here. truly realize my mistake now. Can you please talk to Uncle Matthew and ask him not to send me to jail?"

Just spending one night here was more than she could bear.

If she were to stay there a few more days, she would surely lose her mind.

Zephyr calmly pulled out the chair across from her and sat down, gazing at her deeply. "So tell me, what exactly did you do wrong?"

Isla's face stiffened. She bit her lower lip and reluctantly said, "Zephyr... you're my brother. Why do you always side with outsiders?" Does he like Fay that much?

He's protective of not only Fay but her friends as well.

Zephyr looked at her with

disappointment. "If I had sided with

outsiders, I wouldn't be here right now. I could have let the police charge you and the court sentence you to years in prison. Isla, haven't you realized your mistake yet?"

Isla lowered her gaze. "I shouldn't have had Sophia kidnapped."

"Anything else?"

"I shouldn't have caused Hattie's car accident."

"And?"

"And?"

"Why did you do that?"

"I... I simply wanted us to live together as a family of three, to provide Hattie with a complete family."

Zephyr couldn't help but laugh. "Do you actually believe what you're saying? You orchestrated Hattie's car accident, yet you dare to say it was for Hattie's sake?"

Isla was somewhat flustered and frustrated. "All right, I did it for myself, okay? Yes, I'm in love with Zachary. What's so wrong about that?"

"Since you believe you've done nothing wrong, then stay here. You can leave when you've realized your mistake."

Zephyr stood up, his demeanor distant and detached.

"Don't go! I was wrong. I see that now. I shouldn't have insisted on pursuing Zachary when I knew he didn't like me. And I shouldn't have blamed everything on Fay. I truly understand my mistake now." "Then tell me about your original plan," Zephyr said as he sat back down.

"I... I just wanted to get rid of the

child in Fay's belly..." Isla glanced at

Zephyr. "But she was always

accompanied by two bodyguards couldn't find an opportunity. So, thought of using Sophia to threaten Fay Afraid that she might seek help from Zachary, I used Hattie to distract him."

"That's all?"

"Yeah." Isla nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Zephyr. "Zephyr, I've told you everything. Can I go now?"

"Who said that explaining yourself would mean I'd let you go?"

Isla's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why? Fay and Sophia are fine. Why can't you just let me go? I really don't want to stay here..."

Zephyr abruptly rose to his feet, his gaze icy as he fixed it on Isla. "Sophia is safe because I arrived in time. Had I not, those three b*stards would have taken advantage of her."

"It's not like I asked them to do that..." Isla murmured.

Zephyr, noticing her lack of remorse, sneered, "Really? Because the three goons you hired confessed that you ordered them to torment and humiliate Sophia after they captured her."

Isla's mind went blank as panic set in. "No, it wasn't me! I never ordered them to do anything like that! They're lying about me! Zephyr, you have to believe me."

Zephyr gave her a glance, his face devoid of expression. He turned around and left without another word.

"Zephyr, Zephyr, you have to believe me!" Isla shouted, but Zephyr didn't turn back.

The door to the interrogation room closed.

Isla's heart sank as she slumped into the chair in despair.
