"Zoey, do you hate me that much? Do you want me to die that badly?" Yara was hiding under her blanket as she spoke. She was worried that the person in the bed next to her would hear her.Her voice sounded hoarse. She couldn't believe Zoey had told Gemma how much she hated Yara. After all, Yara was so proud of her and loved her so much. She would do anything for Zoey, but it turned out that Zoey found her disgusting and wanted her dead!It was probably the only moment when Yara realized how mean she had been toward Yvette in the past."Mom, you've misunderstood me." Zoey hurriedly found an excuse. "Gemma was here earlier, and you know how much she hates you. I had no choice but to lie to her to please her. "Please don't take my words to heart. After all, you're my actual mom, so there's no way she would be more important than you, right?"When Yara heard what Zoey said, she didn't believe it at all. She asked with a cold gaze, "Am I really more important than Gemma?""Of course
"What's the point of making Yvette's inheritance invalid? Now that Dad has gotten rid of Yandell Group, she's getting a small part of the money." Zoey lost interest immediately.Yara wanted to say something else. But when she saw how Zoey was acting, she instantly stopped explaining her idea. "I'm getting clumsy with age. There's no way that little money can compare to what the Zelniks have.""Mom, stop calling me in the future if there's nothing important." After saying that, Zoey got up. She was afraid of being in debt, and she was also worried about Yara looking for Gemma.So, she took out a check and passed it to Georgia. "Here. This is for this month's medical fees. Your salary is included as well."Georgia immediately accepted it. After Zoey left, she took a look at the check. That was when she realized that it was only worth 30 thousand dollars.She couldn't help feeling speechless. "This is only 30 thousand dollars. It's nowhere near enough to cover your medical expenses
Yvette followed the location Georgia had shared with her and drove over. As she was worried that something unexpected might happen, she asked Ray to tag along as well.After a short while, she arrived at her destination and saw Yara from afar. Yara was in her hospital gown, and her hair was a mess. She didn't look like a wealthy woman anymore. Instead, she was incredibly skinny.Yvette looked around and realized they were at one of Zelnik Corporation's branch companies. She wondered why Yara was there.Yvette didn't tell Georgia that she had arrived. Instead, she temporarily turned off her phone's data and prevented the latter from seeing her location. After that, she got out of her car and went to a secluded corner.When Yara entered the branch company, the guard stopped her. She yelled, "Tell Gemma to see me now!"The guard didn't expect her to be bold enough to address Gemma by her name. He frowned and said, "Who do you think you are? You're not worthy of seeing Ms. Zelnik, so
"Gemma, I'm here to tell you that the daughter you've been raising all this time is actually—""Stop your nonsense, Madam Yara!" Zoey interrupted Yara immediately. When Yara heard that, she was stunned.However, Gemma was interested in what Yara had been about to say, so she stopped Zoey. "Let her finish, Zoey. Don't worry. Even if she says something bad about you, I'll still believe you."Zoey had no choice but to bite the bullet. "Sure."Yara found it sickening to watch her own daughter treat another woman like her mother. So, she couldn't hold it back anymore and said, "Zoey's my biological daughter, Gemma."Gemma's pupils constricted, and she looked at Yara in disbelief. She'd thought the latter would say something to ruin Zoey's reputation. She'd never thought it would be that!"Are you kidding me? Lawrence and I personally brought Zoey back from the orphanage. How could she possibly be your daughter?" Gemma kept looking down at Yara and never took the latter seriously. Ho
Upon hearing Gemma's question, Zoey didn't know what to say at all. Meanwhile, Yara was looking at her as well, hoping that she would be honest.However, Zoey teared up and said to Yara, "Madam Yara, why are you spouting nonsense? My mom is the only mother I have. She's the one who raised me. I don't care who gave birth to me. I'll only acknowledge her as my mother."Gemma felt incredibly touched when she heard that. However, Yara's heart fell. It was true she hadn't raised Zoey, but she had secretly met her every year. On top of that, she had even granted all of Zoey's wishes.When Yara had married Lawrence a few years ago, she'd even given them everything James had left for her. She'd done it to make things up to Zoey since she hadn't been able to stay by the latter's side for so many years."Zoey, I'm your mother, and you can't deny that."At that moment, everything she said was like a slap in the face. She had forgotten what she had said to Yvette in the past.Zoey's expressi
When Gemma saw Yvette, she thought about what the latter had said to her while pointing a knife at her. She had to admit that she would've admired Yvette if it hadn't been for Zoey."Ms. Snyder, are you here to watch the show as well?" As Gemma spoke, she looked at the crowd around them.The people watching the commotion were all passersby outside the company. They weren't employees of Zelnik Corporation."That's not it." Yvette took out her phone and searched for something while saying, "I heard what you guys were talking about earlier. Zoey refused to admit to being Madam Yara's daughter and asked for proof, right?"Zoey had a bad feeling. "Yvette, this is our personal matter."Yvette ignored Zoey and found the DNA test result on her phone. Then, she passed it to Gemma.Although Gemma didn't know what was going on, she still accepted the phone. Then, she saw the test results clearly. Yara really was Zoey's biological mother!Zoey took a look as well and was in disbelief. "Mom,
Yvette stood nearby and heard what Yara said. She didn't pity the latter at all and was about to leave. Suddenly, Georgia called out to her. "Ms. Snyder, we owe you one. Thank you."Georgia had a feeling she would've gotten dragged into the mess if it hadn't been for Yvette. After saying her thanks, she tugged at Yara. She hoped the cold woman could say something nice to Yvette. However, it didn't happen.Yara looked up at Yvette and said, "You came all the way here to see me make a fool out of myself, didn't you? Are you happy now?"Yvette's gaze remained calm, and there was no shift in her expression at all. "Yes, but I'm not satisfied yet."Yara struggled to get up and hit Yvette. However, she only took two steps before she fell toward the ground. Fortunately, Georgia was next to her and managed to hold her in time.After Georgia managed to take Yara back to the hospital, the doctor finally pulled her back to the land of the living. He said, "The cancer is spreading fast, so
"What's this, Mom?" Zoey was confused."Zoey, didn't I tell you not to lie to me?" Gemma asked while calmly looking at her.She had to admit that she'd still believed in Zoey before she'd received the documents. At that moment, she wondered if she had failed to educate Zoey well.When Zoey noticed how serious Gemma looked, she went through the documents. After that, her legs became so weak that she almost fell to the ground."Mom, these are—"Before she could say the documents were fake, Gemma interrupted her. "Be honest with me and stop with the lies. You should know my capabilities better than anyone else. I can easily get to the bottom of this in just a short while."Zoey finally swallowed all the lies on the tip of her tongue and kneeled to the ground with a loud thud. "I'm sorry, Mom. I was wrong."Seeing how she admitted to it so quickly, Gemma couldn't help feeling disappointed. "Did you know that Yara was your biological mother all along?"Zoey immediately shook her hea
