What mattered most to Zoey was that Laurence had told Sarah the thing that hurt her the most.He really did not care about what she thought at all.But Zoey couldn’t express any of these emotions. She gritted her teeth and kept her silence.As the smoke filled the car, all Zoey could smell was the bitterness of the secondhand smoke.Laurence reached out and pulled her face toward himself. At her pale face and reddened eyes, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and said instead, “Do you really hate Sarah that much?”“Hate is a strong word.” Zoey refused to waste her energy on inconsequential people. “I don’t want to see her, though,” she spoke truthfully. “And I don’t think Sarah wants to see me all that much either. You should know that.”Zoey was getting more and more annoyed by the minute. Her chin hurt where his slender hand held her. “Can you let go of me?” she asked with feigned calmness.Laurence did not let go of her. Instead, his grip tightened as he leaned in closer

Zoey thought Laurence brought her to Southgrove to help him with his work, but he left her in the hotel for the rest of their trip. He did not ask her to prepare any documents, nor did he bring her to any conferences.Zoey appreciated the peace and quiet. Laurence woke up early the next morning. Zoey, on the other hand, had trouble waking up due to the painkiller she had taken the night before. She could barely open her eyes when she felt him get out of bed and she was dazed.She felt Laurence lean down and lightly kissed her lips and heard him tell her to stay put in the hotel.Zoey wasn’t an obedient person in the first place. Besides that, Laurence never really cared about what she did during the day.Zoey’s uncle was still in prison. He had another year to go before he could be released.She made an appointment with her uncle’s attorney and arranged to visit him as well.She rarely visited her uncle. Her uncle didn’t want to see her either.She didn’t tell him about what had happe

Zoey didn’t know what was wrong with Laurence. She was trapped between him and the sofa, unable to move.Laurence’s eyes were chilly as he glared at her. A hint of anger surfaced when she didn't explain herself.Zoey was a little scared of him when he was in one of his moods like this. She tried to free herself, but it only made him angry. Laurence grabbed her by the hair and pulled her up roughly. “Explain.”Zoey wasn't even sure whether the “bastard” he referred to was her uncle or Mr. Lane. She didn’t want to tell him about either of them.Even though Laurence did not love her, he was still quite possessive over her.He did not like her getting close to other men. Unless he knew them personally, he would get upset when she spoke with strange men.With him, she had no freedom at all.Zoey hid her fear and took a few deep breaths before looking at Laurence. “Who are you referring to, Mr. Scott?”Laurence stared at her pale face, then let go of her suddenly. He got up and threw a stack

Zoey had no choice but to concede.Laurence felt that he had given Zoey enough respect and leniency in this matter. He let go of her. “I hope this won’t happen again.”Zoey wasn’t really the submissive kind, but it wasn’t like she could disagree with him on this. “Okay.”Laurence threw the photos into a shredder. Even though they were destroyed, those photos still stayed in his mind. He had to admit that Zoey looked happy with that man.A lawyer. That was a worrying career.“You mentioned that he was a lawyer?” Laurence asked with feigned nonchalance.Zoey did not look at him. “Yes.”“How did you get to know him?” His voice was level and emotionless, as if he didn’t really care about the answer.Zoey could not tell him the truth, so she looked up and forced a smile. “I got frightened when your lawyer told me about the compensation for breaching our contract, so I found myself a lawyer too.” With pursed lips, she began to lie, “He’s the brother of a classmate. I had no money to hire a l

Zoey thanked Laurence for his jacket.…The next day, Zoey went to the charity auction with Laurence as his partner and secretary.Even though it was a charity auction, it was hard to say where the funds really went in the end.But this wasn’t a concern to the wealthy. All they wanted from this was reputation.Zoey wore the dress that Laurence had picked out for her. This was one of his new hobbies, picking out clothes for her.Thankfully, he had good taste. The dresses he chose were quite beautiful.There were a couple that Zoey thought were nice, but Laurence did not allow her to wear them in public. She didn’t ask why.Zoey saw Shawn and Sarah at the auction as well. After last night, what little sentiment she felt toward Shawn was gone.He was nothing but a rabid dog who went around biting people for fun.Shawn came up to them and greeted Zoey. “Did you have a good night yesterday, Miss Jenner?”Zoey swallowed her anger and replied calmly, “No thanks to you.”Shawn ignored Laurence
