“Grandpa, you’re awake!” Sally ran over and grabbed Zach’s arm. Pretending to be delighted, she


    brought tears to her eyes as she eximed, “Grandpa, you’re finally awake! That’s so great.


    M and Phoebe were particrly calm. Zach gazed lovingly at M before saying to Sally, Help me to


    the couch.”


    Sally wiped away her tears and helped him to the couch. M and Phoebe followed after them.


    Half an hourter, Oliver burst into the house. When he saw Zach on the couch, he had a look of shock


    and guilt on his face. Zach sipped his coffee calmly without even bothering to look at


    Oliver.


    Soon after, Loretta rushed over as well. Her hands were shaking with excitement when she saw Zach.


    Tears ran down her face as she walked up to him.


    “Zach! Zach, you’re finally awake. Are you feeling alright?” she asked. “Thank God, you’re getting


    better.”


    Loretta touched Zach’s face and body, but Zach brushed her hand away in displeasure and said,


    “Enough. Sit down.”


    Oliver took a deep breath and sat on the couch. He pretended to be excited and said, “Dad, I’m d


    you’re finally awake.”


    Zach grunted indifferently. Oliver’s eyes swept over M, who looked elegant, and then at Phoebe, who


    hid her light under a bushel


    Once everyone was seated, Sally tearfully pointed at M andined, “Grandpa, you have to do


    me justice. She’s despicable. Nate promised to marry me, but she somehow changed his


    mind.


    “She even used our engagement to threaten Grandma and refuse to leave our home. Grandpa, you


    have to help me.


    Zach looked at Sally and tried hard to hide his contempt. He shifted his eyes to M and asked softly,


    “Ms. York, may I ask why you moved into Hoffis Manor?”

    “I divorced Nathan and was left with nothing. Since I’m Dr. Hoffis‘ ex and the main reason for my


    divorce was Ms. Hoffis, I moved into Hoffis Manor,” M exined calmly.


    Zach pretended to be surprised. “Oh, so you dated Oliver.”


    Sally couldn’t contain her anger. “Left with nothing? Are you kidding me? Grandma offered you money


    and a house, but you turned her down and insisted on living here. You’re clearly up to something.”


    “Zach, you should hear Sally out. Both of them are indeed suspicious,” Loretta chimed in.


    “What conspiracy could two women be up to?” Zach asked sternly.


    “Have you lost your mind? Can’t you see how obvious it all is? She refuses our money and a ce to


    live, yet she refuses to leave our house. She’s Sally’s romantic rival, for God’s sake!” Loretta blurted


    out.


    “That’s strange.” Zach turned to M and asked gently, “Ms. York, did you feel so lost after your divorce


    that you wanted to reconcile with Oliver and make things right with him?”


    Phoebe was amazed. Only Zach could havee up with such an idea. M grinned and nodded. “Mr.


    Hoffis Senior, you figured it out.”


    Oliver was dumbfounded. He stared at M incredulously.


    Loretta stood up in anger and bellowed, “This is ridiculous! I disagree.”
