Chapter 681 Weren’t You Living a Good Life?

When Zoey went downstairs and noticed Laurence and Michael still standing in the same spots, she heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid they would fight.Northwell was Laurence’s territory. Since coming back, she had been unable to escape news of the Scotts’ power. Laurence had this city’s economy tightly wrapped around his finger. An enemy was strongest in their own habitat. Nothing good would come out of Michael fighting Laurence in this country. On top of that, Laurence was good at manipulation. He could cause trouble for them while they were looking the other way.Zoey went to Michael’s side and faced Laurence. They had to play the part of a married couple of five years. She held his hand lightly. “Let’s not fight anymore. Let’s go upstairs.”Michael was frowning. Annoyance was written across his face. “He was threatening you.”Zoey paused. Of course, she knew. She knew Laurence’s gentleness came with a price. He was only doing it because he wanted to be in control. He was e

Chapter 682 What Truly Matters

She was supposed to be living a good life. And not like what the other people said.Zoey felt like the steel walls she’d been building were torn down. She didn’t want to show Laurence her embarrassment. But now that things were out in the open, it would be foolish if she denied her past.“It definitely didn’t go well when I first got to Novarvia.” Zoey’s voice remained calm. “You must be happy. But I got through it despite how difficult it was.”Laurence’s face was pale. Although he sounded calm, he was affected. His voice was no longer as steady as before.“I’m not happy.” His voice trembled.Zoey and Michael looked at Laurence’s porcelain white skin. It was eerily quiet. Zoey wondered why he wasn’t happy. Did he actually want her to live a good life? This wasn’t what she was expecting.She thought Laurence would sneer and mock her when he heard about her hard life in Novarvia. She thought he would rub salt into her wounds and say this was what she deserved after leaving him. Bu

Chapter 683 It Looks Like He Loves Her

”Why don’t we go back to Novarvia? I think even Shawn is more pleasant than your ex-husband,” Michael said.This was how he truly felt. Although Shawn was delusional and sent someone to protect her everywhere she went, he didn’t have other major flaws. He wouldn’t involve himself in her education and her work. Michael used to think Shawn’s possessiveness was too much. Compared to her ex-husband, it was a flaw not worth mentioning.Zoey did not go into detail. “I can’t go back now. There’s something wrong with my passport.”Michael was no fool. He caught the implication right away. “Did your ex-husband do something?”Zoey considered it and nodded. “Probably.” She added, “You haven’t stayed in the country for long, so you might not know him that well. He’s hard to get rid of. Ignore him the next time you see him. That’s all I can do right now.” The proud and arrogant Laurence wouldn’t be able to stand being ignored for too long.Michael understood this city was Laurence’s turf. He

Chapter 684 Did You Drink?

”She could have opted out of the program if she didn’t want to be onscreen. I wanted to film some bloopers.” The cameraman was hesitant.The director rolled his eyes. “You know the working class don’t have a say in these things.”The cameraman adjusted his camera and considered it. “Well, he’s pretty protective.”The director was itching to spill the beans. What was the use of keeping gossip to himself? Gossip was meant to be spread. “One of his companies is funding the entire program. They’ve probably spent millions on it. Of course, he would protect her.”The cameraman replied, “This is pocket change to them.”“I think so, too.” They could spend this money without a second thought.The entertainment circle was full of outstanding people. Everyone knew who was privileged and who was not. Those who came from wealth and had people backing them up could not be offended.“Alright, roll the cameras. I’m going to go over the scenes.”Zoey had her own office. While walking through th

Chapter 685 I Won't Stop You

She didn't smell of alcohol. Only the slightest whiff lingered. Zoey hadn’t drank much. Her mind was clear. She didn't want to talk to him. Not even a polite greeting.As soon as the elevator doors opened, she walked out. With his long legs, Laurence caught up with her quickly. He didn't even have to try.Zoey was starting to get irritated. She lied, "I didn't drink."Laurence pursed his lips but didn't expose her lie.She had driven her uncle's car, but couldn't drive home since she had been drinking. She had to hire a designated driver. She wasn’t successful after a long time. Even when she was lucky enough to match with a driver, they would almost immediately cancel on her.Laurence looked at Zoey’s phone. Her head was bowed, but he noticed the frown on her face. He was very familiar with the expression.He asked again casually, "Did you drive?" Laurence seemed calm and undisturbed. It was as if he was able to remain cool-headed under any circumstance. His emotional outbreaks

Chapter 686 Conflict

After Zoey went upstairs, the rain only got worse. The drops fell heavily.The divider in the car was lowered, but the driver didn’t dare make a sound. He even made an effort to breathe as quietly as possible. He thought Laurence had grown more human in recent months than in the past few years. At times, his silence was terrifying.As a driver, he knew better than to speak out of turn. Even if he felt that Laurence was in the wrong, he wouldn't dig his own grave.The rain quickly soaked a corner of Laurence’s shirt. He finally closed the window but didn't tell the driver to leave. He asked in a low voice, "Does it matter that she's married?"His tone was flat. As though he hadn't said something so earth-shattering.In his mind, two forces were at play. The side with his intact conscience told him he shouldn't force her any longer. He shouldn’t threaten her if she insists on staying married. He had already pushed her too many times.His cold-hearted, ruthless side argued that one

Chapter 687 Connections

"Mr. Scott, Charlie Brun. An attorney who wants to make an appointment with you. He wants to discuss visitation rights. Would you like me to schedule a meeting with our corporate lawyer?" Laurence fell silent. "Take him to the meeting room." Given his busy schedule, Matthew was surprised Laurence would handle such a small matter. He nodded and replied, "Of course."Laurence didn’t think Zoey would act so quickly. It seemed she didn't want to wait a second longer. She found a lawyer to cut the last tie with him."Get someone from our legal team to join the meeting." "Sure." Zoey’s attorney specialized in marital law. He had a contract for the other party to give up custody rights ready on his computer. Lawyers' fees were usually calculated by the hour and sometimes even by the minute.It was Charlie's first time at the headquarters of the famous Scott Group. He was kept waiting in the meeting room for half an hour. He checked his watch. He had prepared himself for the possibi

Chapter 688 Save Me

Zoey may have been seen as a pushover. Even when she sent back the interns’ proposal, she was soft-spoken and always open to discussion. She had always had patience for those starting their careers. She didn't hold back in sharing her experience and wisdom.The younger generation was more assertive. The interns were pretty well-off and had never had a hard time at home or school. They were offended that their proposal was criticized and turned down. Besides, it was no secret that Zoey had connections. She was around their age, but the interns weren't too pleased with their leader. The interns grumbled in hushed tones. They assumed Zoey would pretend she hadn’t heard them to keep up with appearances. Zoey stopped them. She said, "You can voice your complaints. No one will respect you if you moan among yourselves." Her calm words made their faces flush. It was like a slap in the face. They couldn't believe she would point it out so bluntly.The interns returned to their office. T

Chapter 689 Survive

“Were you behind it?” Zoey asked as she ended the call. Laurence didn't understand Zoey's question. "What?" Despite his confused tone, Zoey didn’t believe him and it showed in her eyes. She did not trust him. Laurence was capable of getting whatever he wanted and he would do anything to get it. He threatened her to divorce Michael, and a few days later, Michael was in a car accident. The timing was too suspicious to be a coincidence. Laurence looked into Zoey's eyes. Her expression made him feel uncomfortable. Her lack of faith in him stung. He swallowed hard and took a moment to compose himself. He asked, "What happened?"Zoey did not hide the truth. "Michael was in a car accident." Laurence curled his lips and scoffed. He stared at her blankly. He knew where the conversation was going. "So you think I'm behind it?" Zoey nodded. "That's right." She ignored the hurt in his eyes and asked in a flat tone, "Wasn't it?" Laurence sneered at her serious tone. The pair were locke

Chapter 690 You're the Best

There was a dark and menacing undertone to Laurence's words.After Laurence hung up on Michael, Zoey snatched her phone from him. Her face was flushed with rage. Laurence grew angry. He couldn't stand Zoey's attention being on someone else, even if the man was her lawful husband. "He isn't dead. You don't have to feel bad for him." Laurence's jealousy surged through him. The air grew thick and oppressive.The anger drove Zoey to the brink of tears. Her tendency to burst into tears had not changed much over the years. "Nothing good ever comes out of your mouth." Laurence felt uneasy, but he kept it together. He replied gracefully, "Yes, I'm a monster."Zoey didn’t waste another breath. She rushed out of the building and hailed a cab. Suddenly, the man dragged her into another car and slammed the door shut. She heard the door lock click. The chauffeur was used to the scenario. He held his breath the entire time. Laurence sat next to Zoey calmly. He cocked his head over and a
