"Chief Lourd has told me about the situation." Uncle Zephyr asked, "Those two girls... Are they your friends?"

"Yes. From what I know, they would never touch prohibited items. I suspect something was tampered with their drinks at the bar," Zephyr said.

Zephyr's uncle casually shoved his hands into his pockets, stealing a glance at Vincent Lourd standing next to him.

Vincent said, "In that case, Mr. Yankovich, Mr. Xenos, there's no need for you to worry. I'll instruct my subordinates to investigate as quickly as possible and release Mr. Yankovich's two friends." "Thank you, Chief Lourd." Zephyr acknowledged with a nod.

Inside the interrogation room, a dedicated staff member had come by. After inspection and communication, it was confirmed that Lenora was experiencing this for the first time and had not yet developed an addiction. Lenora, nursing a headache, strained to recall the details from the bar.

However, she hadn't paid much attention back then, and some details were a bit hazy in her memory.

"Think carefully again. Did the wine glass ever leave your sight?" asked the police officer in charge of the interrogation.

Lenora's brows were furrowed tightly, her head throbbing as if it was about to explode. She was restless, her voice laced with bitterness as she said, "I really can't remember. Can you guys check the surveillance footage?"

The police officer was about to say something more when another officer entered the room. After whispering something into the interrogating officer's ear, they both left together.

A few minutes later, the interrogating officer reentered the room. He waved at Lenora, saying, "You can step out for now."

"Huh?" Lenora paused, instantly feeling a lot lighter. "No more investigation?"

"Do you want it to last a bit longer?"

Without uttering another word, Lenora hurriedly rose and left.

"Nora! Are you all right?"

Sophia had already stepped outside, waiting by the door for Lenora. Upon seeing Lenora emerge, she quickly approached her.

"I'm fine, just having a headache. How about you?"

Sophia raised an eyebrow. "I don't feel anything unusual. If it weren't for the test results, I wouldn't have known there was something off about the drink I had. I have no idea who did it! This bar is now on my blacklist. I swear I'll never go back."

"All's well then." Lenora leaned against the wall, catching her breath. "Go and sit over there for a bit. By the way, where's Zephyr?"

"Who knows? He might have run off a long time ago, Sophia said dismissively.

Following that, Zephyr was spotted conversing with a middle-aged man while descending from the second floor.

The middle-aged man carried a resolute expression, exuding an aura of authority without displaying anger. His entire being radiated a sense of time-honed wisdom. His piercing gaze seemed as if it could see through a person with just a single glance.

A police officer and a man in a suit carrying a briefcase were accompanying the middle-aged individual, appearing to play the role of a secretary.

Lenora tilted her head back, momentarily stunned, a brief flicker of bewilderment crossing her face.

Had she seen it wrong?

That middle-aged man... seemed like the mayor of Jacaster. He was often seen in political news

Besides that, his secretary seemed familiar.

Lenora took another glance.

She was sure she wasn't mistaken.

She remembered when she had just married Zachary, and their relationship was still harmonious. Once, Zachary got drunk at a social event. Lenora happened to be nearby and went to pick him up. She had briefly met this mayor in a private room. If she remembered corre In Jacaster, given Zachary's status, the only people who could get him to indulge in social drinking to the point of intoxication were those from the government. That was why Lenora had such a vivid memory of that moment.

However, why did the mayor come to the police station?

How did Zephyr end up talking to him again?

Should she greet him or should she pretend not to know each other?

Lenora wore an expression of utter confusion.

As he descended the stairs, Matthew Xenos inadvertently caught sight of Lenora standing nearby. Seeing her face all scrunched up, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity. He halted his steps and chuckled. "You're already out. What's there left to worry about?" Lenora hadn't expected the mayor to speak with her. She was pleasantly surprised. "I... I'm not worried."

Zephyr was also taken aback for a moment.

""What's with that expression, then?"

"I... I was contemplating whether or not to greet you."

Matthew shook his head with a smile. "What's there to be conflicted about?"

"Do you recognize me?" Lenora asked cautiously, lifting her gaze.

"At first, I didn't remember, but now I do. Your name is Lenora Wilkin, and your husband is Zachary Fuller if my memory serves me right?"

"You have quite the memory." Lenora subtly flattered him without making any deliberate attempt to correct him about the matter of her divorce with Zachary

It wasn't really brown-nosing. She was just telling the truth.

After all, it was just that one encounter, yet the fact that the mayor actually remembered her truly astonished Lenora.

Matthew just smiled, didn't say anything further, and walked out.

Zephyr paused for a moment and glanced at Sophia. "Wait for me in the lounge first."

Before Sophia could react, he had already stepped forward to catch up.

Matthew glanced at Zephyr, who was a step behind, and teased with a smile, "That young lady earlier. Are you interested in her?"

Zephyr didn't deny it. He simply smiled lightly and replied, "Uncle Matthew, I'd appreciate it if you could keep this a secret for now. Let's not inform my parents just yet." "You're not getting any younger," Matthew advised earnestly. "If you're serious about this, you should settle down soon. Bring her home to meet your parents." "I understand."

At the main entrance, Zephyr took the initiative and opened the car door, saying, "Uncle Matthew, safe travels."

Matthew settled into the passenger seat. "You should head home. Take some time to understand this matter thoroughly. Come over for a meal another day." "Definitely."

After seeing off Matthew, Zephyr returned to the lounge.

Lenora was in the midst of a conversation with Sophia.

Sophia found Matthew's face vaguely familiar, but it was only after Lenora's explanation that she understood his identity. She sighed. "I never would have guessed that he's such an approachable mayor. But, how did Zephyr come to know him?" "You'll have to ask him that."

No sooner had Lenora finished speaking than Zephyr appeared at the lounge door.

Sophia glanced at him. "Hey, how did you get to know the mayor?"

Leaning against the door, Zephyr crossed his arms over his chest and chuckled leisurely. "Did me?"

Sophia's lips twitched slightly, gritting her teeth. "Zephyr!"

"What's the matter?"

"Perhaps it's because I'm exceptionally capable. The mayor appreciates me," Zephyr said, pushing up his glasses in a serious manner.

"You're just boasting!" Sophia scoffed, averting her gaze, her heart filled with skepticism and uncertainty.

During high school, Zephyr had won numerous awards and was particularly favored by the teachers.

Zephyr came from a poor family. His mother passed away when he was in his sophomore year, and his father's health wasn't in the best condition either. The cost of his living was entirely borne by himself through tutoring jobs. Many of these tutoring part- time jobs were arranged for him by his school teachers.

She heard he'd been doing pretty well for himself overseas.

In the city, there must have been policies to attract talent. People like Zephyr probably met the criteria. It was only natural for him to know some people in the government.

Would the top official of Jacaster really bother with a minor returnee from overseas?

Zephyr chuckled.

At that moment, a police officer approached and knocked on the door. "Mr. Yankovich, Ms. Wilkin, Ms. Tortell, we've retrieved the surveillance footage. Please come with us. We have a few more questions for you." "All right."

Lenora and the other two followed the police officer to the front of the office display screen.

The police captured a certain frame from the surveillance footage. They enlarged the image, moving the cursor over the individual's face before asking, "Do any of you recognize this person?"

Sophia shook her head, turning her gaze toward Lenora.

Zephyr felt a sense of familiarity, narrowing his eyes.

Taken aback, Lenora blurted out, "Howard!"
