When Love Breaks (Josephine)

Zayn took a deep breath and coldly demanded, "Besides you, who else around me is Joe's informant?"

Shawn immediately realized that crying and playing victim wouldn't work anymore. He gave up acting and slowly shook his head. "I don't know."

"If you give me two names, you can pack up and leave. But if you don't name a single person, I'll charge you with fraud. I won't make big promises, but I can easily get you ten years in prison."

Zayn lit a cigarette and gave him a cold, piercing stare. "You have one minute to decide."

He set a timer and threw the clock straight at Shawn's face.

The sharp corner of the clock cut Shawn's cheek, making him bleed. But he didn't dare to resist. He could only stare at the countdown, which had less than 30 seconds left. Only when the timer hit the final second did he finally speak. "Caleb and David from the budget department."

"Get out." Just two words, but to Shawn, it felt like a royal pardon. He scrambled to his feet and ran out of the office as if his life depended on it, only to crash straight into Nadine at the door.

Nadine frowned at the sight of him and questioned, "Mr. Middleton, on Zayn's account, you..."

Before she could finish, Shawn had already rushed off in a panic.

She was baffled but stepped into the office and asked Zayn, "Zayn, what the hell

is going on? Why is your account posting all this?"

Zayn leaned back in his chair, slowly exhaling a puff of white smoke without answering.

Nadine touched her stomach and frowned. "You're smoking right in front of me. Aren't you worried it'll affect the baby?"

Zayn continued smoking, unbothered. But after a few seconds, he still put out the cigarette and got up to open the window.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Nadine's lips. She knew it-this baby was her golden ticket to a lifetime of luxury.

Joe wanted this child too much. He was desperate to hold his grandchild before he died. Because of that, even if only to hold leverage over Joe, Zayn would still do everything to protect the baby.

Because of the baby, Nadine was speaking more and more boldly. "Zayn, what's going on with your account? Posting all that is basically clearing Josephine's name!

Everyone online was cursing her, but now even the paid trolls have shut up!"

Zayn sat back down lazily. "No idea. I haven't managed that account in ages."noveldrama

"Then who posted it? It couldn't have been Joe, right? Oh!"

She suddenly covered her mouth in shock. "Did Josephine hack your account?"

Zayn frowned and looked at her as if she was an idiot. "And where exactly would Josephine get chat logs between Shawn and the troll company?"

There were only two people who could have accessed those records-Shawn and Joe.

Shawn would never expose himself, which meant there was only one other possibility-Joe.

Zayn didn't know what Joe's intentions were, but he couldn't care less. He just wanted to get rid of the rats around him.

Nadine continued, "Maybe she bribed Shawn. Don't forget, Shawn was hired by her. What if he's been her spy all along? You shouldn't trust her so much. By the time yo@realize the truth, it'll be too late."

Zayn resisted the urge to curse and gave her a look of pure disdain. "You bought all those supplements, right? For your body and your bones. Next time, buy some for your brain too, so you don't give birth to an

idiot."

Nadine's face darkened. "Zayn! How can you say that? How can you talk about our child like that?"
