His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 160

Jodie took a sip of her tequila before saying with a smile, "Wendy, I heard Tessa's got herself a boyfriend now. Does that mean things are looking good between you and Zachary?"

The bar's dim lighting hid Wendy's gloomy expression in the shadows. She forced a smile as her eyes glinted coldly.

Jodie had definitely asked that question on purpose.

Everyone in their social circle was well aware of Zachary's suicide attempt and exactly why he did it. So, there was no way Jodie hadn't heard about it.

Jodie only posed that question to trip Wendy up.

Wendy knew Jodie was trouble, but still!

Her face twisted into a snarl before she composed herself and replied, "Not really. Zachary's company has just gotten back on track. He's been so swamped with work recently that he barely has any time for me."

"Is that so?" Jodie tittered. "Oh, that's right. I did hear something about Zachary getting himself admitted into the hospital. He must've collapsed due to exhaustion. Gosh, I've been so busy recently that I couldn't spare a moment to visit him at Rivertown.

"Andy mentioned that Zachary wasn't doing too hot, what with Zachary being hospitalized for several days… What exactly happened there?"

Wendy's face darkened at her backhanded jabs.

However, she played it cool as she flicked her hair over her shoulder. "It's nothing major. He's been overworking himself recently, and his immune system suffered because of it. So, he caught a bit of a cold now that Rivertown has gotten chilly."

Jodie covered her mouth and gasped theatrically. "Oh my! He was hospitalized because of a cold? He really does need to take care of himself better, then."

Wendy calmed herself and inquired idly, "By the way, how are things with your boyfriend, Jodie?"

As Wendy expected, Jodie's demeanor did a complete 180 as she ground out, "We broke up."

Jodie had a very interesting specimen for a boyfriend named Eugene Marlow. He was three years younger than her and worked as an escort. Jodie had been captivated by his tall stature and attractive face at first sight.

In fact, it only took Eugene a few sweet nothings to sweep Jodie right off her feet. Sure enough, she fell for him after picking him to attend to her whenever she was at the nightclub.
