2024-10-29 19:42:56Zachary's face hardened at Emma's words, but he remained calm. "I know my own work when I see it," he said firmly. "And I find it hard to believe that you could have painted this when I clearly remember the man who bought it from me. And it wasn't you."
Zachary couldn't believe that after what Emma had done to him, she could continue to let him down. And now that he had exposed her deception.
As he thought back to their conversation at the university gate, he realized that it had all been a complete sham. He had been taken in by her lies and her charm, thinking that she was a fellow artist who shared his passion for the craft. But now he knew that it had all been a facade.
"Let's not jump to conclusions here," the host said, trying to keep the peace. "Is there any way to prove that this painting belongs to one of you?"
Emma smirked, confident in her own abilities. "I have no problem proving that this is my painting," she said. "I can show you my drafts an

Zachary and Emma rushed to the hospital, hoping to see Emma's mother before it was too late. As they arrived, they realized that the hospital was crowded with people, and the staff seemed to be overwhelmed. After Zachary waited with Emma until her mother's surgery was complete, the doctor came out to give them the news. "The surgery was successful," he said, "but your mother's condition is still critical. She will need to stay here for some time to recover." Zachary could see the exhaustion and worry etched on Emma's face. He knew he had to do something to help. Without hesitation, he asked the doctor how he could make her mother's stay more comfortable. "Well," the doctor said, "we do have some more comfortable rooms available, but they are reserved for VIPs." Zachary didn't hesitate. "I'll pay for it," he said firmly. "I want her mother to have the best possible care and comfort." The nurse hesitated, looking at Zachary skeptically. "I'm sorry, sir, but those rooms are reserved

After his flight, Zachary arrived at the hotel and decided to cycle to the location of the yacht. While he was biking along the road, a group of young people in a car drove past him. As the car passed by, one of the young people yelled out, "Hey there, enjoying your little bike ride, poor boy?" Another person in the car added, "What are you doing on that old bike? Did you lose your driver's license or something?" Zachary smiled and replied, "No, just trying to enjoy the scenery a bit more." But the insults continued, "Look at him pretending to be eco-friendly. Like he couldn't afford a car." The group of young people burst into laughter as they drove away, leaving Zachary to continue his journey. Despite their rude comments, Zachary remained calm and kept his focus on reaching his destination. As Zachary boarded the yacht, he pulled out his invitation card and showed it to the security guard. Once inside, he noticed that mo

As more people began to take notice of Zachary's presence on the yacht, the whispers grew louder and more curious. Suddenly, Rajiv Patel's voice boomed over the crowd, silencing the whispers. "Excuse me, everyone," he began. "I am pleased to introduce you all to Zachary, a big investor in my company." The crowd murmured in interest as they looked at Zachary with newfound curiosity: "He must have a good eye for investments if Rajiv is introducing him." "No wonder Rajiv invited him. He's practically royalty." Xander looked at him with wide eyes, impressed by his new discovery. Meanwhile, the group of young people who had mocked Zachary earlier looked at each other in fear and embarrassment, realizing they had made a mistake by judging someone based on their appearance. Zachary simply turned his head to look at the people, offering them a friendly smile. The group of young people felt ashamed and quietly left the area, realizing that Zachary was not the person they had made him out

Zachary finally reaches the shore, exhausted and soaking wet from his swim. He struggles to pull himself up the beach, but just as he finally makes it to his feet, he suddenly feels a sharp pain on the back of his head. Everything goes black, and Zachary falls unconscious. When he comes to, Zachary realizes that he's been tied up and is lying in a dark room. He tries to look around but realizes that he's been blindfolded. He struggles against his restraints, trying to get his bearings, but it's difficult without being able to see. Suddenly, the figure returns to the room, holding a flashlight. "Hey, Zach. Trying to escape, huh?" the figure says with a sneer. Before Zachary can respond, he feels a sudden push to the back of his head. Pain shoots through his skull, and he falls back to the ground. Zachary lies there, his head throbbing and his body restrained. He can hear the man moving around, but he can't see anything through the blindfold. He's completely at the mercy of his capt
The Bullied Man's Hidden Legacy Workstation
Zachary enjoyed a lavish dinner that night, prepared by their family's personal chef. He sat at the long dining table with his parents, savoring each bite of the delicious meal. His mother, Taliyah Pennington, was the picture of elegance and grace, dressed in a flowing silk gown that shimmered in the candlelight. She had always been a pillar of strength for Zachary. His father, Kristopher Winthrop, was a tall and imposing figure, with piercing blue eyes and a commanding presence. He had always been a shrewd businessman, and Zachary had learned a lot from him about running the family's company. As they dined, the atmosphere was filled with warmth and nostalgia. Elizabeth regaled them with stories of her time spent traveling through Europe and attending high society events, while Kristopher recounted his business trips to Asia and the Middle East. The meal itself was a feast for the senses, with each dish prepared to perfection by their personal chef. The scent of spices and exotic

Zachary was taken aback by the manager's question, "What did you say?" The manager noticed that Zachary's leg was slightly stiff and asked, "Do you have a disability certificate?” "No, I don't have one," Zachary replied, feeling confused. He considered himself a normal person and didn't understand why the manager was asking about a disability certificate. The manager nodded and continued, "I see. It can be difficult for people with disabilities who don't have a certificate to find jobs. By the way, what's your relationship with Secretary Rowe?" Zachary was puzzled by the question and wondered who Rowe was. He began to feel suspicious that he may have entered the wrong company or made some other mistake. The manager continued speaking, "Our company is a large corporation, and many people aspire to work here. It can be more challenging to land a job here compared to a government job." The manager looked at Zachary with a critical expression, as he disapproved of hiring someone based
The Bullied Man's Hidden Legacy The chair
Zachary found himself with a lot of free time lately, just like his superior. To fill the time, he took up playing games. His favorite was a game called "Watermelon Slicing," which he had become quite skilled at. One day, as he was engrossed in the game, a woman interrupted him by handing him a bill for an item she wanted to pick up. "Excuse me," the woman said. "I was told I could pick up an office chair here. Can you help me find it?" Zachary paused the game and looked up at the bill. "Go down the hall and turn right. You'll see the furniture and household items area. You should be able to find it there." The woman nodded and left. Zachary went back to his game, slicing virtual watermelons with his sword. A few minutes later, he heard the sound of high heels approaching. He paused the game again and turned around to see the woman standing behind him. "Did you find it?" he asked. "Yes," the woman said. Zachary was confused. He hadn't seen any chairs beside her. "Where is it?"
The Bullied Man's Hidden Legacy Clean
"Go ahead, push the chair." Manager Gonzalez said abruptly. "Huh?" Zachary asked, confused. "General Manager Graham has decided that the chair is no longer needed and has allowed you to use it. Push it to the restroom and make use of it," Manager Gonzalez said before storming off, still angry about the situation. When Brennen Potts, the head of the Hygiene Department, heard the HR assistant refer to Zachary as a janitor, he studied him closely. Zachary noticed Brennen looking at him and asked, "Is something wrong, sir?" Brennen didn't think Zachary looked like a janitor. He is young, dressed in high-quality clothing, and his emerald ring appears genuine. "I don't think you look like a cleaner." Zachary replied, "Manager Gonzalez looks at me like a janitor." The HR assistant interjected, "Brennen, Zachary took a chair imported from Italy for the general manager, costing tens of thousands of dollars. He didn't even ask for permission to use it. Manager Gonzalez couldn't fire him b

"Eh, just kidding." Callum Luna grinned and begged for mercy - he'd just struck out of nowhere, and while

"... How much do you hate your leader?" The tomb keeper shook his head in an old-fashioned manner, "This amount of money is no more expensive than a life."Zachary hooked the man who was about to leave, "We're not done talking, look at this, have you seen it when you were in the antique business?"Joselyn Robles looked at them both from side to side and her smile didn't go down, "Zach there's no need to rush, since so many threads are intertwined it's most likely a secret under one karmic copy, the poison looks creepy but other than the ability to catalyze the very sight of it no other harm has been found so far, it's more of a 'link' than a poison '."Suspicious, the tomb keeper counted through the bills and was pleasantly surprised; he drew out the charm concealed in them, and the moment he saw the human-faced phoenix, his expression changed.The tomb keeper admired and put away the red ticket, "You're really something, OK, I'll keep it for you."

Though he also felt that the old lady was making a bit of a fuss about it, and that 8 was so burnt out right now, how could he have time to interfere with them, and that Zachary would be even less able to do that when he was splitting up eight people to use them, and tossing them out of the way."The two cases are not unrelated, one could even say they are related, what Callum Luna said is true, it was 'Roderick Luna' who financed the curator of the painting exhibition, and that's not the only thing, the antique auction house a while back, the floating cloud carving that was intercepted by Vice Ramirez The silver needle, finally found in the diary sent by Ms Ara, was the very one that Dulce Hooper used to make all the blood pacts for the Gale Watts sacrifice."Callum Luna demonstrates the attitude of the Luna family, "-He who dares to desecrate God is not worthy of death."Celine Kirk, who had long since leaned against the car, shook out her skirt, "Let's just s

"Unsolved case." Zachary didn't have much of an expression, "I've been investigating this, his death took up all my energy, it's not exactly a secret within the Way, sorry, just didn't want to get you involved."Celine Kirk grunted coldly, "Cut the crap, Sea Ring aside, since Gale Watts has a lead on Roderick Luna, the Luna's are in charge, and it's been two nights since the Gale Watts monstrous statue posed as a deity, so don't tell me that your team hasn't come up with anything."But now that Zachary just said it, he instead thought there was a hidden agenda, or else Zachary wouldn't have softened his attitude until he was sure that the spell poison was completely insurmountable.Zachary frowned when he heard a cold yet pleasant inquiry lazily coming from behind him, "Who are you?"Keenan stood aloof, looking at Lone High with a nose, and nodded along, "Zach's got a good point."After the Gale Watts case, Zachary has considered slowly pushing the

The more Zachary thought about it, the more likely it was, and volunteered to confess his thoughts, "Are you after me?"Keenan came back from cleaning up, fleshed out and surprised, thinking he'd finally gotten the hang of it, "How so?""Because I dumped you with a whimper, and you tried to dump me back, and I cried bitter tears, so we're both barely even." Zachary blinks at him, and with a twitch of his brain, suddenly says, "How about right now."Keenan's face faded down, heart really, he leaned toward the back of the chair, his eyes some thin dangerous: "Now what, I chase you, you promise, then I dumped you, two minutes to get it done, you and I grudges two eliminated, never see each other again, is this what it means?""Of course not, then wouldn't our previous relationship be child's play?"Zachary shook his head, "No matter what I've done to break your heart, there hasn't been a single moment for the four years we've been together that I have

Zachary typed in the password as Keenan read it, and suddenly lurched, finally realizing that the inexplicably familiar string of numbers was his birthday, "You're still on your old phone?"Zachary looked closely, the paintings in the show were all human figures, familiar with the large color stacks and twisted lines of the netherworld painting style he had read about so many times in the art room of the lab building, "Oooh, this could be a genre, the underground overdrive style?"But Dulce Hooper's soul has gone. How can a body without a soul move fraudulently?Naturally, Callum Luna's ramblings alone don't count, Zachary: "How can they be sure it's Roderick Luna?"His head was groggy from the low fever, and he had residual pain all over his body, and he didn't want to move at all, but he might have overslept a bit, and he didn't want to go back to sleep, so he started swiping at his phone.Zachary guessed that they did not dare to easily give up

When he got up again, there was a hazy, pale light, and Zachary braced himself, and it was like he'd been run over by a car, and after the shock had passed through him, and the soreness danced in every bone, and stabbed a little bit at his joints, and his arm collapsed, and he fell back down again."It was him." Keenan phrased, "Six months after you evaporated, he was arrested for illegal proselytizing, and when I was sorting through my materials, I found a notebook I'd borrowed from him, with a piece of paper sandwiched between it with a messy yardage drawn on it, which I thought at first was draft paper, but realized it wasn't any formulas or mind maps, and when I looked at it closely there was some regularity to it, very much like some kind of writing, and which I've since turned over to the police up."He was all but as brooding as he had been when he arrived, but that oily, don't-touch-anyone-against-me asshole look was a turn-off.Then the stomach growled.

Keenan smoothed his suit, didn't care if the steps were dirty, and sat down next to Zachary, choking on the strong smell of cigarette smoke, but Zachary's silence, which was even cloudier than the smoke, choked him even more, like a little burnt edge, a little hot, a little painful.Zachary automatically ignored Keenan's increasingly out of bounds mannerisms of late, his cold mind forming a set of logic he could best accept; he just had to act like he was in a dream.Johnathon Ramirez needless to say, although it is difficult to see the position, but it is also after he topped the Special Investigation Brigade was not disbanded, and he is in charge of the Special Investigation Brigade for so many years of the old boss, even if the crowd often behind the back of the arrangement, but also still recognize his ability, recognize the identity of the 8 of the Unified Control.Luna's family in the open that point, everyone has spread rotten, now the most hopeful heir i

"Ah-!!!" The young constable, seeing this for the first time, fell to the ground in fear, his high pitched scream cutting through the night sky of the city hall and drawing in the others.Zachary, however, couldn't care less about the chaos of the bureau, and he clutched the yellow talisman, a treasure hunt he knew all too well, the glazed box that once held the nine parts of Khalil Hobbs's body, hidden away on a rainy night in the mountains of Ushant, and poured out into the madness that is him impermanence and insanity.It had taken him years to slowly climb out of the overgrown mud - at least superficially - and stop worrying those around him, but those behind him were afraid that he would be too good to be true, grabbing the hem of him orange-red dress and tugging it down to help him remember what it was like to be parted from him bitterness and hatred. .How much does he have to be hated, who did he blow up in him last life, or
