“Mr. Howland, do you still naively think that after what happened yesterday, there’s still a chance between us?”
Her voice was calm and steady, but every word was clear, with a kind of determination that could cut through anything.
“So, I sent the report letter here today, isn’t it clear enough to show that it’s over between us? Stop dreaming, I’ll let you have your
‘righteousness‘, and you stop bothering me.”
Theron’s tall figure swayed slightly, and the color drained from his face bit by bit.
He always thought she was just mad, mad that he gave the job to Johanna.
He stopped pressuring her, wanted to give her back the job, even promised to marry her immediately, let her follow the army, give her the dignity of being his wife, she would change her mind eventually.
He never thought that she really, really didn’t want him anymore.
I really didn’t want to marry him anymore!
“Lizzie!” Theron reached out, trying to grab Lizzie.
Lizzie took control of the wheelchair and moved to the side, avoiding his hand.
“If Mr. Howland thinks that’s not enough, I don’t mind reporting to the Inspection Team coming down from above.”

“Lizzie, don’t say things in anger!” Zaire stepped forward, standing between the two.
He turned around, gave the lost and confused Theron a glare, then turned back to look at Lizzie.
“Theron had you in his heart too, it wasn’t easy for him to get to where he is today. Sending this report, he won’t get promoted for three years. Lizzie, I… I’ll take your report, I won’t let him bother you anymore.”
Zaire nudged Theron with his elbow again, “Hurry up and speak up!”
Theron didn’t move, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Lizzie without blinking.
Lizzie ignored him and just said to Zaire, “Thanks, Mr. Schmidt.”
“Ah!” Zaire sighed.
Lizzie left and closed the door.
Zaire sighed, “Lizzie herself was suspected of plagiarism, which was not good. Marrying her would not be good for you either. I also didn’t approve of you marrying her before.”
“She didn’t.”
Theron was hoarse, with red eyes.
“She didn’t cheat, it’s just that Johanna didn’t have a good research project. I took some notes that Lizzie had left for a long time and gave them to Johanna. I testified for Johanna just to help her out.”
Zaire looked at Theron in disbelief, never expected the truth to be like
this.
“You can’t treat Lizzie like this, even if you want to repay her! You…

Theron’s eyes blazed red as he said, “I will find a way to win back Lizzie.”
“What did you say? Are you crazy! Lizzie was really hurt by you, she will really report you!”
“I wouldn’t pester her, but I would let her see my sincerity.”
After Theron finished speaking, he turned and left Zaire’s office.
Zaire chased after Theron and yelled, “Come back! Or I’ll punish you!”
Theron didn’t look back at all, he walked away quickly.
Finally got rid of Theron, shook off the shadow of the past, Lizzie breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like the heavy stone on her heart had finally been lifted, even her breathing felt much easier.
“Lizzie!”
Colton rushed up to her in a few steps, looking her up and down.
“Did you send the report letter? Did Mr. Schmidt punish Theron?”
Lizzie was in a good mood, with a relaxed smile on her face. “Whether we get punished or not, it doesn’t matter to me. Come on, I’m feeling happy today, I’ll treat you to dinner!”
Colton saw her happy, so he nodded vigorously.
“Good!”
He pushed Lizzie towards the Equinox Research Institute.
Suddenly, a car stopped not far from them, and two soldiers got out and walked towards them, blocking their way.
Colton’s body tensed up instantly, he stepped forward and instinctively

shielded Lizzie behind him, his eyes warily watching the researchers who suddenly appeared.
One soldier looked past him and spotted Lizzie, giving her a careful look.
He asked seriously, “Is it Ms. Trevino?”
Lizzie’s heart skipped a beat, reaching out to pull Colton away.
“I am.”
“Come with us.” The soldier made a “please” gesture, pointing to the Jeep parked nearby.
Colton stood in front of Lizzie again, his voice full of nervousness and caution, “Where are you taking Lizzie? What’s going on?”
Did Lizzie report Theron, and then Theron retaliated against Lizzie?
Lizzie gently patted Colton’s arm, signaling him to relax.
“Colton, you go back first. They were looking for me probably for some official business. Once it’s done, I’ll go back.”
She guessed it might have something to do with the reports she had submitted before.
“You can trust me, nothing will happen.”
Colton looked at the soldiers‘ serious but not malicious expressions, then looked at Lizzie. Although he was still worried, he chose to trust her.
