Cynthia, "..."

Once again, she was left speechless. Choosing not to engage in further conversation with Zack, she sat in her chair quietly flipping through the list of auction items. She didn't believe she had enough charm to make Zack fall in love with her at first sight, nor did she think there was anything about her that could captivate him to the point of being infatuated and unrepentant.

Moreover, Zack's image was fundamentally incompatible with someone deeply in love. She even suspected that Zack and Jacob might have conspired to deliberately make things difficult for her. However, upon second thought, Jacob had received benefits from Tristan. As the saying goes, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." Jacob probably wouldn't do such a thing.
