Elena inquired, “Zach just knew it, didn’t he? How could he find out who leaked the news this quickly?”
Logan held her hand, “Just wait and see who he will bring us.”
“Alright.” She nodded, taking off the coat. Then she fetched a blanket and covered him to keep him warmer. She went to take a bath later. She even kindly reminded Mia to prepare some tea for Zach.
But the next moment, she realized that she had no duty to treat Zach kindly. He chose Anna and misunderstood her last time!
While they were waiting quietly, a car drove in. It was Zach. After a while, Mia opened the gate for him. Just in a moment, the freezing wind seized the chance to get into the room.
Someone was standing behind Zach. It was Sophia! Elena was surprised, “Sophia? Why are you here?”
“Elena!” Sophia ran to her at once. She ran into her arms and started to cry, “Elena! I am innocent! I didn’t do anything wrong but he forced me here! I leaked the news? What the hell was he talking about? I don’t know what the new is at all! It’s so unfair that I am accused of the crime I didn't do!”
Zach looked furious. He walked to Sophia and the next second, he pulled her away from Elena. “You want to deny? You did hear what we talked on the phone that night, right? I never leaked the news. So it must be you! You are the only one who have chance to know about it, for you were with me in S City those days!”
Sophia was irritated by his untrue accusations. She pulled his arm and gave him a heavy bite, which made him release her at once.
Then she quickly hid behind Elena, grasping her clothes, “Elena, it’s not true! I don’t know about it at all. But he said I did hear it, but I really don’t know what that is!”
Logan rubbed between the eyes to comfort himself. Looking at the drama, he said in a calm tone, “Zach. You got the wrong one.”
Sophia was supported by Logan and felt encouraged, so she looked into Zach’s eyes, “Listen! Logan is right. Look at you, you should learn from Logan! Learn how to use your brain! Don’t make this silly mistake!”
She felt so wronged and was mistreated today. She didn’t know what went wrong. And Zach just kept accusing her of the crime she didn’t do. She yelled and cried, and explained herself so hard! But he didn’t listen to her at all! He just believed that she was the one who leaked the secret.
“It must be her! You know that I always keep my mouth shut. If she doesn’t do it, who will it be?” asked Zach defiantly.
Elena sighed and explained, “Well, you think she did it. But why would she do it? To help Emma? For what?”
Zach didn’t answer. He was so furious that he didn’t think of it.
Sophia sneered, “Now you know you wronged me, right? Elena is my best friend. I won’t hurt her for anyone else! I won’t sell her out! Even if I know the news, I will ask Elena at first, not Emma.”
“How can you prove your innocence?” Zach grinned his teeth, saying unpleasantly.
Sophia gave him an angry glance, “I don’t want to talk to an idiot like you. A waste of time!”
Elena looked at Sophia, and then turned to Zach, “So you said you went to S City for a job before. Did Zach offer you the job?”
Zach was even embarrassed and felt shame, “Logan, please. Don’t look at me like that. I know I made a mistake this time. I shouldn’t presume anything before I know it. It’s my fault. But don’t be disappointed in me, you know, if I get more time, I can do faster and better than Jacob does.”
Jacob showed the evidence he got. “This is the surveillance video from a restaurant, which recorded that Emma and Kent met and talked for a while in this restaurant. However, we still don’t know what they exactly talked about.”
Elena clenched her fists subconsciously when she saw Emma in the video.
Sophia patted her shoulder, trying to comfort her, “Elena, I believe you can get through this no matter what happens!”
Elena turned to look at her, with a warm and nice smile.
Sophia added, “Because in my mind, you are the queen who is unbeatable! And my idol Logan and you are a perfect match! Come on, cheer up!”
Zach was a little jealous, “Queen? Idol? Come on, you are exaggerating! I am fabulous, too.”
“You? Useless! You just know how to wrong a good person like me!” Sophia retorted.
At the same time, the video was over. There was no more clue in the video. Though they knew Emma met Kent, this couldn’t prove anything. Logan wasn’t satisfied with the result, “Anything else?”
Jacob lowered his head, said in frustration, “No, sir. I am sorry.”
