Chapter 29: The Path to Happiness(2)
Zola had been under stress for the last few years. The reason?
This little bastard, the son of a prostitute, how dare he destroy all my work and my luxurious life!
The reason was Leon. Who knew that the child of the mistress would become so annoying? At first, she wanted to use him to make money, but now that was impossible. He achieved what he shouldn't have — just a useless baron, when he should have been the son of another father, not Barcus. Yes, she cheated on him. She would never have allowed Barcus to impregnate her instead of him. She found a handsome Viscount, from whom she had children. She wanted to drain all the money from the Bartforts, then leave Barcus and go to this Viscount. Usually, divorce is a complicated process, but she could afford it. But now she could not only not empty Barcus' wallet, getting just a small amount of money that barely suffices, but also she couldn't break the marriage contract without consequences. And all because of Leon.
"I'll kill them, damn it!" she shouted, biting her nails, but she calmed down, taking the letter that was next to her. It was a letter from the Viscount asking to meet her, which pleased her.
After quickly gathering herself, she headed toward their meeting.
Watching all of this in her invisible mode was Cleare.
"Interesting," she said, analyzing the letters. There were many of them, all from the Viscount. Almost all of these letters proved Zola's infidelity.
"Interesting," she said, after which a robot flew into the room through the window, grabbed all the letters, and flew away.

At that moment, Zola reached her destination — the elite hotel. Upon entering, she headed to the room where the Viscount was staying.
When she saw him, the change in her behavior was immediately noticeable. While with Barcus, she had always tried to belittle him, with this man she was excessively submissive. They started a social conversation on various topics, talking for quite a while — about two hours — before they reached the main topic.
"You know, what surprises me?" the Viscount asked.
