Chapter 31 The Controversy at the Birthday Banquet (Part 3)

Dahlia’s voice was loud, drawing the attention of everyone nearby. Zoey looked at the old lady and said solemnly, “I didn’t plagiarize. This is my design.” Dahlia scoffed. “An identical design, and you claim it’s not plagiarism? Who would believe that? Ariana is a designer at Born Beauty! You’ve only been at Born Beauty for a month—what could you possibly design? Zoey, apologize to the old lady immediately. She’s always generous and will surely forgive you.” Zoey responded calmly, “You’ve never trusted me—not in the past, and not now. But I didn’t plagiarize. This is my original work.” Dahlia glared at her. “If you didn’t plagiarize, are you saying Ariana did?” “You seem capable of making that judgment yourself,” Zoey replied, turning to Ariana. “Ariana, think carefully before you speak. Did I plagiarize you?” Ariana pressed her lips together and looked at the old lady. “Grandmother, this is truly my design. I don’t know why Zoey’s brooch design is identical to mine,” she said wi

Chapter 32 Kneel and Apologize

Zoey glanced toward Russell, who was currently surrounded by a group of influential figures. This moment seemed perfect—if Russell noticed something amiss, the mastermind behind the scenes would hesitate to act rashly. Only under such pressure would they reveal themselves. Supporting Leanna, Zoey led her unsteady steps toward the restroom. Leanna felt some strength return to her body, and the oppressive heat subsided. In a voice low enough for only the two of them to hear, she asked, “Zoey, how’s my act so far?” Zoey chuckled softly. “Good enough to fool anyone.” Leanna’s eyes twinkled with excitement. “I’m actually looking forward to this. So, when do we get ‘abducted’?” Before Zoey could respond, four men suddenly appeared behind them. Each grabbed one of the women by the arm and dragged them into a nearby lounge, locking the door behind them. The two women were thrown onto a sofa while the four men stood before them, already undoing their belts, spewing crude and obscene rema

Chapter 33 Dislocating Ariana's Arm

Zoey observed Ariana’s shocked expression, raising her brow slightly. “I shouldn’t be here? You think I should be in there instead?”Ariana stammered, her lips trembling. “N-no, I just thought…”“You thought that woman was me,” Zoey said, gripping Ariana’s shoulder harder. “Where do you get all these thoughts, huh?”Ariana cried out in pain, “Zoey, you’re hurting me!”Livia scolded Zoey, “Let go of Ariana right now! She came here because she was worried about you.”Instead of releasing her, Zoey tightened her grip further. “Worried about me? So you brought all these people to enjoy the spectacle? Were you trying to protect me, or ruin my reputation?”Ariana hadn’t expected Zoey to be so strong; the pain caused sweat to bead on her forehead. “Zoey, I swear, I was genuinely concerned for you!”“If you were concerned, shouldn’t you have alerted Russell to rescue me? What made you think your feeble skills could save me, huh?” Zoey questioned coldly.She recalled her past life when she had

Chapter 34 Zoey, You Can Rely on Me

Russell watched the girl with flushed cheeks, her drunken eyes hazy and entrancing. He lifted her chin with a finger, his voice calm but firm. "I didn’t look." Zoey raised an eyebrow. "Is she prettier than me?" Russell chuckled softly. "I didn’t look. How would I know what she looks like?" Zoey squinted at him, sensing his evasion. "Then, am I pretty?" Their breaths intertwined, the faint aroma of red wine mingling with Zoey’s natural fragrance, teasing Russell’s senses. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he replied hoarsely, "You’re beautiful." Zoey’s fingers toyed with the buttons of his shirt, the playful smile on her lips inching closer to his. "What’s your relationship with Roland?" Zoey’s eyes gleamed with mischief. "Roland? He’s my little errand boy." Relieved, Russell’s tone softened. "Zoey, in the future, can you please let me know if you have something going on?"Zoey’s drunken gaze sharpened slightly. "Are you upset?" Russell’s lips pressed into a thin line. "It’s not that

Chapter 35 Russell Spent a Restless Night

Ariana stormed back home, grabbing the HIV post-exposure prophylaxis medication from her bag while screaming hysterically. Dahlia rushed into the room, only to see Ariana sweeping her cosmetics off the vanity table in a fit of rage. "My darling, what's wrong?" Ariana cried uncontrollably, her makeup smudged and her appearance utterly disheveled. "Mom, how could Zoey do this to me? I was worried about her safety and went to find her. Not only did she dislocate my arm in front of everyone, but she also manipulated Moriah into claiming that I orchestrated the whole situation. She then provoked Moriah into scratching me, and now Moriah—Moriah has AIDS! I have to take this medicine, or I might end up infected!" Dahlia froze, her mind buzzing. "That wretched girl! If I’d known this would happen, I’d have taken her out a long time ago!" Livia clasped Ariana's hands, her heart aching. "Ariana, don't cry. You won't get infected. And if you do, that woman will pay for it with her life. Stop

Chapter 36 Lilah’s Studio Shuts Down for Good

When Zoey wore the dress yesterday, she felt it was slightly loose but didn’t think much of it. After all, Z&L Design wouldn’t make such mistakes, and a renowned styling studio like Lilah’s wouldn’t have basic issues either. However, while she and Leanna were enjoying dessert on the sofa, she noticed something amiss. Later, when they led Moriah into the lounge, Zoey’s dress was about to split. Thankfully, she had a silver pin with her and managed to secure it just in time. Afterward, Russell mentioned the dress completely tore while the maids were changing her. She couldn’t find the pin and assumed a maid must have picked it up, not thinking much of it since she was too embarrassed about her drunken state. Now, Zoey was here to demand an explanation. But Lilah, feeling guilty, outright denied it. “Our studio would never have such an issue.” Zoey raised an eyebrow. “So, are you implying the brand is at fault? Do you know who oversaw the design and production of this dress?” “Was i

Chapter 37 Should I Blow on It for You?

As the scene unfolded, Russell instinctively moved to rush out of the car. Troy, fearing Russell's impulsiveness, quickly slammed the car door shut and charged toward the man instead. But Troy was a second too late. Zoey had already raised her leg and delivered a swift kick that sent the attacker flying. The glass bottle he held smashed on the ground, shattering into pieces and emitting a corrosive sizzle. Some of the liquid splashed onto the man's hand, prompting agonized screams. Zoey stepped on the man’s hand and ground her heel into it mercilessly. “Talk. Who sent you?” “No one sent me! Ahhh—!” Watching Zoey’s cold and menacing demeanor, Troy felt an eerie familiarity. It was as if he were seeing Russell himself. Clearly, they shared the same aura—like a matched pair. “Madam, allow me to handle this,” Troy said respectfully. Zoey already had a few suspects in mind. “Lilah from the styling studio, Ariana, or Nelson. None of them are innocent.” Troy nodded. “Madam, please re

Chapter 38 Cutting Ties

The next morning, as Russell and Zoey were preparing to leave after breakfast, they were blocked by the sudden arrival of Jordan and Dahlia.Despite Russell's dissatisfaction with how they had treated Zoey, he extended the courtesy of inviting them inside.The servants served tea and then quietly stepped away.Jordan picked up his teacup, gently blowing on it, only to set it back down under Dahlia’s stern gaze. Clearing his throat, Jordan spoke, "We've come today to take Zoey back with us."Russell's tone was cold. "Zoey is my wife. She belongs here at Serene Manor."Jordan continued, "The issue is that outsiders are unaware of Zoey's status. If this gets exposed, her reputation will come under scrutiny."Russell narrowed his eyes. "Weren't you the ones who publicly accused Zoey of plagiarizing Ariana without any investigation? And now you're suddenly worried about her reputation?"Jordan faltered. "At the time, we thought... well, Zoey had only been at the company for a month. How cou

Chapter 39 I’ve Truly Found a Treasure

Russell’s gaze carried a cold sharpness as he observed the Harmon family’s attitude toward Zoey—cruel and callous. Their visit wasn’t to bring Zoey back but to demand a hefty dowry. “How much do you think Zoey is worth?” His voice was detached and icy. Jordan’s eyes lit up. “As the head of the Maddox family, you can’t afford to give too little—it wouldn’t be dignified if word got out.” Dahlia chimed in, “Exactly. Besides, Zoey is exceptional in both looks and talent.” Zoey sneered. “Oh? Then can you tell me what my major was in college?” Dahlia’s lips twitched awkwardly. “Well, whatever it was, it must’ve been excellent. Now you’re an S-tier designer at Galaxy Studio, earning billions annually. Setting aside family background, how many socialites out there can compare to you? Russell, Zoey is lucky to have married you, but you’re equally fortunate to have her. Considering that, we think a suitable dowry would be some shares of the Maddox Group.” Russell’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Chapter 40 Zoey is Kidnapped

Nelson's eyes darkened with malice, not expecting Zoey to show him no respect whatsoever.He uncrossed his legs, leaned forward, and lowered his voice, "Stop talking nonsense!"Zoey responded nonchalantly, "Then why did you come find me?""I have a friend..." Nelson began.Zoey laughed out loud. "A friend out of nowhere?"Nelson clenched his teeth, wanting to crush her, and hissed, "I’m going to another place for treatment."Zoey was about to refuse when two men in suits appeared behind her, pressing a knife to her back.Nelson smiled with satisfaction. "A knife is just as good as a gun, so please, go ahead."Zoey narrowed her eyes. "Are you threatening me?"Nelson grinned.Zoey sneered. "Do you really think this can hold me back?"Nelson raised his chin, and one of the suited men moved behind Octavio Munoz, the owner of Hines Hall. Octavio froze, looking pale."Since you can appear here, it means you're quite familiar with the owner. If you don't want anything to happen to him, come w
