Chapter 9

作者: Pansy Wilde
Her emotions were all over the place. She looked exhausted, almost worn down to the bone, but the moment she saw me, her eyes lit up.

"Thank God... you're back."

She forced a smile at me, her eyes already reddening.

"It's good that you came back. I thought you'd abandoned... the old mansion.

"Now that you're here, don't leave again."

She strode toward me and grabbed my hand.

"Come on, let's go home.

"Don't worry, I already drove Ronald away. I exposed his true colors.

"From now on, it'll

    Zoey froze in place, eyes wide with disbelief."No... that's impossible."You have to be lying. How could you get married so quickly?"What happened at the auction caused such a huge scandal. Besides me, who else would even marry you?"The words slipped out before she could stop herself. She quickly covered her mouth."That's not what I meant, Henry."I looked at her quietly, unsurprised by what she had revealed.Otherwise, over all these years, she would never have openly favored Ronald the way she did. In her heart, she had always believed no one except her would ever want 'damaged goods' like me.A gust of wind rushed up from behind.Tina stormed past me and punched Zoey square in the face."I'll kill you!"Caught off guard, Zoey failed to dodge in time. Blood immediately appeared on her face as she stared in shock at Tina stepping out from the house."So you're the mistress!"The two of them instantly started fighting."Stop it!"I rushed forward and grabbed Tina tig

I exposed his true colors."From now on, it'll just be the two of us, living happily together."We'll find a day and get married as soon as possible."The more she spoke, the more excited she became, anticipation practically glowing across her face.I shook her hand off sharply and let out a mocking laugh."Ms. Sanders, you really think too highly of yourself."I came back because the old mansion is here, not because of you."I have no interest in whatever happened between you and Ronald, and I want even less to do with you."I looke

    "Time to wake up. The sun's already shining on your butt."Tina burst into the hospital room like a gust of wind."You're not running a fever anymore, right? Hurry up, I'm taking you out for some real food today."She pressed a hand against my forehead out of habit, then naturally lifted a cup to my lips and helped me drink some water."Thanks…"My voice came out hoarse.After she rescued me that day, I had fallen unconscious almost immediately.The entire journey back, Tina never let go of my hand."You idiot. Why didn't you tell me any of this sooner? I came too late."Her hands were so warm.They felt like the only thing pulling me back from the dark.During this period, I had been recovering at the Draven family's hospital. Most of my health had returned, and even the injuries on my arm had fully healed."What's with the thank you?"She flicked my forehead lightly."You look mostly recovered now. In a few days, we'll head back and check on the old family estate."Tin

    "At last, that b*stard Henry is out of the way. From now on, the Goldman family and Zoey will belong to me alone. All those years of scheming weren't wasted after all!"Of course the fire was fake. There's no way I'd actually let myself choke on smoke."And even if she finds out the truth, so what? I'm the one she loves most. Otherwise, why would she have destroyed Henry like that?"You have no idea how badly he got tortured in prison. Hahahaha…"A sudden force from behind flipped the sofa over with a crash.Startled, Ronald whipped around, only to meet Zoey's furious eyes."Zoey! When did you get back?"Panicked, he immediately hung up the phone."None of what I said was real. I was joking. You have to believe me."Before he could finish, Zoey kicked him so hard he went flying across the room.A sharp pain exploded through his chest. At least two ribs had snapped.But Zoey gave him no chance to recover. She grabbed him by the hair, eyes blazing with murderous rage."Who ga

    "What? The Draven family?"Zoey's pupils trembled.The Draven family was one of the pillars of the capital. Their businesses stretched across the country, their influence woven deep into every corner of the elite circles.As the current head of the family, Tina was infamous for her ruthless methods and iron authority in the business world.Why would someone like her get involved with the Goldman family's old mansion?An inexplicable irritation rose in Zoey's chest.Just then, her phone rang.Ronald's gentle voice came through the speaker."Zoey, what time are you coming home tonight? I can cook and wait for you, okay?"Once upon a time, that soft and affectionate tone had comforted her.Now it only annoyed her."There's no need to wait for me. And don't forget, I only married you to provoke Henry. The only fiancé I've ever truly wanted was Henry."She hung up abruptly and threw herself onto the sofa.Staring at the empty living room, she suddenly raised her hand and slappe

    The teacup slipped from her hand and shattered across the floor.Zoey could not even bother wiping away the scalding tea that had splashed onto her skin. Her voice trembled with urgency."Missing? How is that possible?"Who bought it? That property belongs to the Goldman family. Besides the Goldmans, who else could've purchased it? Find out immediately!"One piece of bad news after another left an inexplicable unease growing in her chest."Zoey, what's wrong?"Ronald stepped closer and gently massaged her shoulders."My brother disappearing? Impossible. He's always been good at manipulation. This is probably just another stunt to get your attention."And as for the old mansion, besides you and my brother, who else would even be qualified to buy it?"Only then did Zoey gradually calm down.That was true. Only someone connected to the Goldman family trust had the authority to sell the old mansion.This had to be one of my schemes.She let out a long breath, her chest rising a
