Let me check it first, then you can post,” Garret said, making it clear he was calling the shots.

Garret fixed Zara with a calm stare, but there was a kind of authority in his eyes that made it clear he wasn’t taking no for an
Answer
Zara had never seen Garret look at her like that before. She bit down on her lip, shot a nervous glance at Hayley, and finally pulled out her phone, sending the video to Hayley without another word.
Hayley took a deep breath, her chest heaving a little.
She glanced at Garret as he checked the apology video.
“Garret, since you’ve already checked and it’s fine, maybe you should post it from your account?” Hayley saur
“Can you just give Zara a break? Hayley added quietly.
Garret looked up at Hayley, a faint smile on his lips.
“It’s just an apology. It’s not the end of the world. You’re making it sound way more serious than it is,” he said.
“Besides, if Zara doesn’t post it from her own account, it’ll look like she’s not even trying to make things right,” he added.
Garret had always called her ‘Mrs. Zamora, but now he was suddenly calling her “Hayley.” It threw Hayley off for a second. She wasn’t used to it.
Is he trying to say he thinks I’m on Leo’s side now?‘ Hayley wondered, a chill running down her spine.
Hayley clenched her jaw, her expression turning cold as she shot Garret a frosty glare.
“Garret…” Hayley started, her voice strained.
Zara jumped in before things could escalate between Hayley and Garret.
“Mom, it’s okay. I was the one who messed up, and Daron wanted me to post an apology video, so I’ll do it.” Zara said, trying to sound calm.
“Don’t make things hard for Garret. He’s just following Daron’s orders,” she added.
Life in the Zamora family had already been hard enough for them lately.
If they managed to get on Daron’s favorite’s bad side right now, life in the Zamora family would only get tougher for them.
Zara’s words finally managed to calm Hayley down.
Hayley let out a soft sigh and said, “Garret, I’m not trying to make things hard for you, but this isn’t all Zara’s fault.”
“She just got mixed up with the wrong people. She never planned to post those photos online. It there’s going to be an apology, everyone involved should apologize, not just Zara. She shouldn’t have to take all the blame, Hayley intended.
At this, Zara, standing next to Hayley, gently tugged at her sleeve.
Hayley shot Zara a look, her voice serious.

“Zara, even after all this, you’re still trying to cover for someone else?” Hayley said, her tone heavy.
Garret shot Hayley and Zara a look, his eyes unbothered, like he’d already figured them out.
No need to stress. Whoever posted those photos will get what’s coming to them.” Garret said, sounding cool and sure of

Zamora Group already fired Calista,” he added.
“She’s going to post an apology video too,” he continued.
“So your daughter isn’t taking the fall for anyone at all, Garret said, his tone steady.
Hayley shot Garret a frosty look, her eyes full of coldness
‘So that’s why he kept quiet about Calista’s punishment earlier. He was just waiting to drop that bomb on us annoyance and awkwardness swirling inside her.
She was both embarrassed and annoyed, but she had to keep it together in front of Garret.
After double–checking the video and seeing nothing wrong with it, Garret looked over at Zara and said, “Post it now. I’m watching.”
Zara bit her lip, feeling helpless. She had no choice but to upload the apology video.
She shut her eyes briefly as she hit upload on her social media.
Her hand shook as she held the phone.
Zara knew she was going to be at the center of gossip for a long time.
She used to love being in the spotlight.
But not for something like this.
“Is that it, Garret?” Zara asked softly.
After Zara uploaded the video, she looked up at Garret, her voice small, sounding a little hurt. ‘Do I really have to do thi she thought, feeling a bit wronged.
Garret nodded, replying coolly.
“Daron says you’re not allowed to take it down for seven days,” he said, making it clear he was just passing on the order
Zara nodded, resigned to her fate.
Hayley frowned, giving Garret a look of annoyance as she said, her tone tight.
“We already posted the video as you asked, so why do we have to wait seven days before we can take it down! Are you just going to let people tear into Zara for a whole week?” Hayley demanded.
Garret didn’t even glance at Hayley. He just locked eyes with Zara, his tone flat and unyielding
“If you’ve got an issue, take it up with Daron,” he said, making it clear he wasn’t going to budge
Zara pressed her lips together and shook her head, looking like she knew she’d messed up.
