“How did she do it? Am I dreaming?”
…
The members of the Lopez family could feel themselves going crazy.
They had not expected to be caught in this situation.
They had envisioned Zoey begging in the streets after being thrown out of the family, yet she had defied their expectations. She had become the chairperson of a huge company worth billions!
They regretted it immensely.
Harry, in particular, wished he could turn back time and right his wrongs.
Slap!
Slap!
He slapped Henry and Fabian across the face roughly.
“How dare you suggest that I cut Aaron’s family out of our lives? Look at Zoey now! We’re never going to be able to bask in her glory now! I bet buying the company was easy for her!” Harry yelled.
Henry and Fabian fell silent.
Weren’t you the one who made the decision?
Why are you pushing the blame onto us now?
What were you doing before that?
“How did she even do it?” Melanie asked, confused.
“I bet she got in bed with some tycoon! I can’t think of any other way she would be able to accomplish that!” Henry huffed.
“Yeah! That’s disgusting!”
“Luckily, she isn’t part of our family anymore! We would’ve been so embarrassed by her!”
“She’s so shameless!”
…
The Lopez family continued to rant about Zoey.
Harry nodded. “We all know what underhanded methods she used, but she’s the boss of the Oriental Star Group now. What can anyone do about it?”
“Zoey, let’s talk about this in private. This has nothing to do with Levi,” Harry said hurriedly.
Levi quickly took Zoey’s hand and led her away. “Didn’t I tell you to ignore these people? Have you forgotten what I said?”
“I…”
Zoey bit her lip, unsure of what to say.
“You’re no longer a member of the Lopez family. Why care about their matters?”
When will she realize she’s too kind for her own good?
“What the hell do you mean, Levi Garrison?” Shaun yelled in a panicked voice as Zoey was dragged further away from them by Levi.
“Get out! We won’t help you!” Levi declared.
“Fine then! Do you want to know how Zoey got hold of her position at Oriental Star?” Shaun snickered.
“How?”
“She slept with another man!”
