Chapter 1298
Belinda seized Zoey with a swift gesture, tearing off the scarf from her neck
Having a rough night, Zoey had overslept this morning. She had spent the night at a man’s place and had forgotten
to set her alarm. By the time she was notified that Belinda was causing a scene at the office, she was late.
The large marks on her neck were instantly exposed as Belinda yanked down her blouse for everyone to see more
clearly
“Do you see this? This shameless woman hasn’t shown up for work because she’s been entertaining men. Who
knows how many there have been? These marks are their handiwork Disgusting, right? I couldn’t bear it any longer
and had to report her today: Take a good look, everyone. Do you want to work with someone who might bring
disease into the office?”
“Mom!”
Zoey was feeling under the weather, having just started her period this morning. She had no energy to pull her
blouse back up and got another slap from Belinda
Belinda, who had worked as a mover in her youth, was tough Zoey, already feeling weak, couldn’t evade the slap
The people from the top floor, after seeing the marks on Zoey, couldn’t hide their shock
Everyone began to believe Belinda’s words After all, where else could those marks have come from?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut they hadn’t heard of Zoey having a boyfriend Just a few days ago, when a male colleague had expressed
interest in her, she had claimed to be single
The marks on her body, however, told a different story about her wild night
And to think that Zoey usually put on a demure air at the office. The contrast was shocking.
Whispers filled the room Meanwhile, Maja, who was blind, had no idea what was happening. She had only heard
Belinda slap Zoey
She leaned back against lan whispering, “What’s going on?”
Why were the people suddenly whispering, and why did it seem like they were all talking about Zoey? Could Zoey
have really done something so scandalous?
Impossible
There are marks on her body from sleeping with a man.”
lan answered bluntly while Belinda continued her tirade.
She called Zoey all sorts of unflattering names, a loose woman, a shameless hussy
‘Shut up!
Maja was livid and called her bodyguard over
Belinda only became more smug, especially with Zoey present. She knew Zoey would side with her.
Zoey tell your boss the truth Everything I’ve said is true: Besides, I’m your mother If you let the bodyguard kick me
out, don’t ever call me again or send me money. Don’t even think about coming home”
This was Zoey’s weak spot
She was a woman with no one to rely on. Only the monthly phone call and money transfer to her mother proved
she had someone to care for in this world. This had been
her solace for years
Like Maja, who always thought of Lillian in times of adversity Zoey depended on those phone calls.
She didn’t care how much Belinda despised her As long as she sent money every month, Belinda would be
somewhat kind to her
She knew this was wrong, but she couldn’t resist the allure of family ties
There must be something wrong with her psychology
Maja didn’t hear Zoey’s response and was puzzled. Even after such harsh words, Zoey wasn’t reacting?
“Zoey?”
As soon as she spoke, she heard Zoey’s choked voice.
“Ms Pennyfeather, I have a misunderstanding with my mom. I’ll take her away first and then come back to hand
over my work.”
“You’re resigning?
“I don’t know”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA look of confusion crossed Zoey’s face. She truly didn’t know
She didn’t know where she’d end up without those phone calls, and how she would live her life. She didn’t know
anything and fell exhausted
Maja reached out to take her hand and the people at the top floor finally noticed that there was something wrong
with her eyes
Ms Pennyfeather, what happened to your eyes?
“Ms Pennyfeather, are you okay?
‘You can’t see anything? When will you recover? Oh Ms Pennyfeather, please don’t scare us
Everyone instantly stopped gossiping about Zoey and focused on Maja’s health instead
Everyone respected Maja, who had single–handedly built the company Now their hearts were in their throats.
“I’m fine. I’m fine. You don’t need to worry Zoey, come to my office Tell me exactly what’s going on
Having said that she took lan’s hand
“Ian, have someone keep an eye on Zoey’s mother if she dares to curse again, find any excuse to lock her man up
for a couple of weeks.”
Belinda’s pupils contracted sharply She knew what Zoey’s weak spot was, but it seemed that Zoey’s boss knew hers
as well.
Her face palad, and she wanted to retort, but when she met lan’s gabe, she couldn’t say anything. She just
muftamd under
“Blind old bat, you’re getting what you deserve for all the bad things you’ve done!”
