    Chapter 652


    Earlier, he had been looking forward to Zoe’s retaliation. Even if she were to bring trouble upon herself,


    he would help her secretly resolve the situation. But she eventually decided topromise.


    She clearly was not at fault, but she would rather be misunderstood than cause further trouble.


    Jay subconsciously pursed his lips.


    After Zoe left North City TV station, she went straight to the train station.


    She wore her mask and cap, ensuring that she was all wrapped up so that no one would recognize her.


    In reality, gone were her days of poprity that right now, no one would recognize her. But she wanted


    to avoid all unnecessary trouble if she could.


    She started to walk briskly.


    Just then, someone called her from behind. ’Zoe.”


    Zoe’s heart began thumping harder.


    She stopped in her tracks, but dared not turn back to look.


    She bit her lip as she saw Cordy walk toward her.


    Yes.


    Cordy did not think that she was hallucinating.


    Lucas was not a hallucination as well. He really looked like John.


    Whereas Zoe York remained Zoe York.


    After not seeing each other for three years, she looked slightly different.


    She was dressed so…ordinarily.


    She looked different from the woman of the past who was always so trendily and fashionably dressed.


    Cordy noticed that even the bag that Zoe was carrying was a counterfeit.


    It was not even a good-quality counterfeit, but one that could easily be identified at a second look.


    Did Zoe not care any more?


    Did she not care about her reputation any more?


    “Cordy.” Zoe swallowed her tears and smiled. ”It’s been a while.”


    “You know that it’s been a while?!” Cordy was clearly displeased, her eyes turning red with unshed


    tears. ’Where have you been the past three years? Why didn’t you contact Quinn and I?”


    “Didn’t I make myself clear previously? You and Quinn are myst resort. Clearly, I haven’t reached the


    point of needing to take thest resort.” Zoe chuckled.


    Cordy looked at Zoe chuckling.


    It was a brightughter, but the sound of it made Cord/s heart ache.


    If life had been smooth sailing for Zoe, she would not have onlye back now.


    She would not have participated in that so-calledpetition too.


    “Don’t be like this. Let’s have a meal together.” Zoe could not stand the look on Cordy’s face. “Let’s call


    Quinn too.”


    Since Zoe had returned, if she did not take the initiative to call Quinn, Quinn would certainly want to


    murder if she knew that Zoe did not look for her the moment she returned.


    What’s more, the moment Actors on Set started broadcasting, the news of her return would spread


    across the entire country.


    “Sure.” Cordy tried topose herself as she nodded in agreement.


    Cordy made a reservation at a restaurant and called Quinn.


    Zoe called ra to tell her about the change of ns, that she would not be going home for dinner


    tonight.


    ra was always cautious around Zoe and dared not fault her for anything. ra merely reminded her


    to stay safe and go home early.


    When Cordy and Zoe arrived at the restaurant and settled down, Quinn arrived just in time.

    The moment Quinn saw Zoe, the anger boiling in her heart quickly gave way to overflowing concern


    and heartache as she said, “You still bothered toe back? You probably forgot that you’re from


    North City.”


    Zoe knew that she should not have left without saying goodbye, even changing her phone number and


    not taking the initiative to contact them. She did feel slightly guilty about that.


    When she left back then, she truly felt the hopelessness of everything in this city.


    She seriously considered leaving and nevering back.


    Therefore, she decided to be ruthless and abandon all her friends.


    That was why she never contacted her over the past three years. She feared that she was unable to


    persevere in her decision.


    There were people living in this city whom she would feel hurt and sorrow each time she thought of


    them. She did not want to live with so much struggle and pain, so she decided that she would neither


    return nor contact anyone until she had truly let go of things.


    Three years was neither a very long nor very short period of time.


    It was enough for her to let everything go, and it allowed her to start anew in pursuing her dreams and


    her career.


    So she decided to make use of this tform to return to this city.
