Chapter 411 Drained of All Color

With some editing, the video ended up being even more suggestive. Although it didn’t show the actual deed, the rest of the video would be enough to mislead everyone else. A scandalous video like this would be even more harmful to a regular person than a celebrity. For one, they weren’t as mentally equipped to handle the scandal as celebrities, who were more familiar with public scandals. A regular person wouldn’t be able to handle the onslaught of mean comments and disgusted gazes. Then there was the Scott family—so what if they were fond of Zoey? Would they be able to accept a stain on their name? Elite families were all the same. They would never allow any hint of a scandal mar their reputation.Sarah stared at her folder for a while before her lips finally lifted into a smile. She then pocketed the memory card and went downstairs to get the chauffeur to drive her to a distant suburb. She looked around for an internet cafe, and once she had ascertained that there were no cameras

Chapter 412 Pain

The video and the pictures had been quickly wiped online with force. There was no trace of them any longer. Every news article about them was wiped, and every account that reposted them was banned too. However, news like that wouldn’t die just because the original media had been deleted. Now that the news had gotten out, many people already knew what those pictures contained, even if the original files could no longer be searched for.Zoey’s hands shook. All her strength left her body, and she nearly dropped her phone to the ground. There was no other emotion on her face other than helplessness. Those high-definition pictures kept reminding her of the painful things she had experienced.Zoey’s phone began buzzing. People kept calling and texting her, but she didn’t answer any of them, not even Laurence’s call. Zoey sat on the bench, her mind wandering. When Rose finally arrived, she was still in a daze. Her eyes stared emptily ahead. Rose had no idea what she was thinking. She slow

Chapter 413 It Disgusts Me

There was a troubled look in Zoey’s eyes as well, other than hatred. “You must be pleased now that my name has gone down the drain, right?” she asked steadily.Shawn slowly straightened up and took a deep breath. His face was blank. “It really wasn’t me. I never had anyone spread them.”Zoey nodded, believing him. However, her actions seemed to be for show. She smiled, her lips pale as she asked him, “Tell me then—who else could it have been other than you?”Who else hated her this much to the point that they wanted to see her destroyed?Zoey’s body trembled at the memory of those awful comments online. The humiliating commentators had torn her down until she had no self-worth left.Bitch. Used goods. Slut. Whore. Cheater. Loose morals. These words were hurtful enough on their own, but when used together in a coordinated attack, they knocked Zoey over, leaving her battered and bloodied.Zoey watched as Shawn remained silent, as though he couldn’t answer her.“Do you remember how

Chapter 414 Stabbing

The security guard by the door immediately blocked Zoey’s way. Without an order from Shawn, he would not let her leave.Zoey stood by the door quietly, staring at the guard in black. She didn’t even turn to look at Shawn as she asked, “Is there any point in stopping me from leaving?”Shawn eyed her from behind for a long while before he walked into the living room and picked up the small knife meant for peeling fruits on the coffee table. He left the living room and shoved the knife into Zoey’s hand. “You hate me, don’t you?”Zoey didn’t say a word even as she gripped the knife.Shawn’s face was blank as he said, “It was me behind all those dehumanizing incidents. I can’t rewind time. Since you hate me for destroying your life, just stab me. A single stab won’t kill me, but it should be enough to lift the weight off your heart. And if that isn’t enough, you can stab me twice.”Zoey lowered her gaze to eye the knife. Her hands shook, not because of fear, but because she did want to

Chapter 415 Price

News spread online far faster than one could imagine. Although Laurence had clamped down on the spread at lightning speed, it was already too late.Laurence pressed his lips together at Zoey’s question, his expression icy. “And?”And what? Were there any changes to their relationship? No.An eerie calmness clouded Zoey’s eyes. They looked like a calm lake, completely without ripples, as though it didn’t matter that he treated this major incident with disregard. She slowly lowered her head to look at the rug.“Your friends and relatives have probably already seen them,” she said.News could spread quickly, reaching tens of thousands in a matter of seconds. There was no way to keep secrets hidden online once they got out.Laurence’s expression stayed frosty. He turned away, his icy gaze drifting elsewhere as he listened to her wordlessly. Just as Zoey said, everyone knew.Zoey looked up again, her neck sore from staring at the rug for too long. Her mind wandered as she regarded La

Chapter 416 Name

Zoey had chosen Shawn then. Laurence’s anger toward her far surpassed his hatred. He hated her for her casual betrayal and unfaithfulness in their marriage. If he and Zoey got divorced, she would get together with Shawn. Would he still be as furious, then? Laurence had no idea.Zoey blinked at his words, lost. It wasn’t until several moments later that she understood what he said. Even as Laurence comforted her, he reminded her that her initial choice was wrong. She wondered if he was telling her that she was betraying him. No, she couldn’t continue down that line of thought. The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt. The pain felt like a string digging across her brain, slicing through it. It just hurt.Zoey pulled the covers over her head again, obscuring her face. “It’s my fault. I’m getting my just desserts,” she whispered.Would he be pleased now? Would he be satisfied?Laurence’s heart went numb as he listened to her even tone. He didn’t look good and his face dra

Chapter 417 No Use

Zoey had no recollection of what she had said in her sleep. She drew a complete blank. The only thing she could remember was Laurence pushing her down that cliff and into the abyss in her dream.“Sorry for bothering you while you were sleeping. Why don’t we sleep in separate rooms for the time being? You’ll get a better night’s sleep. It’ll be better than this.”And besides, she couldn’t control her nightmares.Laurence was a light sleeper in the first place; it was no surprise he had been awoken so easily. He pressed his lips together. “No need,” he said calmly. He scanned her face for a few moments before continuing, “I was just curious about what I did in your dream.”“I don’t remember,” Zoey answered, making up an excuse.“Never mind then. It’s still night. Just go to sleep.”“Right.”…Zoey only woke up at noon the next day. Laurence had already gone to work by then. Her phone had switched off due to low power, so when she turned it back on, hundreds of unread notification

Chapter 418 Absolutely Meaningless

Zoey stayed at home the entire day. She didn’t have the courage to turn on her phone. She hadn’t dared to leave the house in days due to the lack of mental preparation. All the poisonous words cursing her to the ends of the world weighed on her heart. Zoey remained curled on the couch. She wasn’t even sure what was airing on the television —she wasn’t paying attention to the screen. However, she heard Laurence’s car outside the house before evening arrived. Zoey glanced out the window to see Laurence get out of his car. His face was blank, and she could sense his sternness even from this distance. He was in a bad mood. Although she couldn’t see it, she could sense it.Laurence didn’t usually leave the office so early. Sometimes, he would be so busy that he’d be at work til eight or nine o’clock. He rarely returned home at this hour.Laurence saw Zoey spacing out on the couch when he entered the living room. Her frail figure looked especially lonely. After stepping into his hous

Chapter 419 Gone

The next morning, the footage from the security cameras near the offending internet cafe was delivered to Laurence’s office. All the irrelevant footage had been edited out, leaving only the important moments.Laurence didn’t play the footage. He sat as his mind wandered elsewhere. Zoey had been asleep when he left for work. She hadn’t spoken much the last few days, immediately going back to sleep after waking up and waking up shortly after falling asleep.“Miss Jenner entered the internet cafe sometime past six that day. She arrived by taxi. The cameras show that she went in, but illegal internet cafes don’t require guests to use their real name or show their ID, so there are no official records of her.”It didn’t matter whether Sarah’s name was on the internet cafe’s records—the important thing was that she was there.Hearing the report, Laurence wasn’t surprised. Instead, an odd feeling filled him, but it wasn’t disappointment. He wasn’t even interested in playing the footage f

Chapter 420 Concerned Whether He’s Alive

Sarah was terrified by Laurence’s calm gaze. His silence was even more frightening than outright anger. He showed no emotion.Sarah forced herself to calm down. Her tears stopped as she decided to give in a little to save herself. “I’ll apologize to Zoey. I was wrong.” She clutched Laurence’s hand and cried again.Laurence slowly shook her off and sighed before looking at her. “Sarah,” he said evenly.Sarah had a bad feeling as her heart skipped a beat.“Do you think saying sorry would erase everything you’ve done?” he asked her.Sarah was at a loss for words. Tears hung off her lashes as she was scared out of her wits. She looked pitiful. “I know apologizing won’t do anything, but I can make up for it. Even if she wants me dead, I’ll do it.”Laurence was quiet for a long while. “Why did you do it?”Sarah looked down, her voice frustrated and carrying a hint of a sob. “I wanted you two to split.”Laurence never thought that he would be the reason behind the leaked photos. “We’r
