Meredith pulled Levi away from Zoey.
“Since both of you know the truth, then I will be straightforward. Zoey, from now on, you will treat Levi as nothing
more than a stranger. Understand?” Meredith ordered sternly.
Zoey nodded obediently. “Understood.”
Her face was still full of smiles.
Everyone was confused.
Is it so easy to talk Zoey into something?
Or perhaps she’s always wanted to divorce Levi?
“Levi, let me warn you. If you ever harass Zoey again, I’ll skin you alive!” Logan threatened Levi in a menacing
tone.
Both Caitlyn and Aaron exclaimed, “Since you’ve accepted the ten million, you must do as we say and leave Zoey
alone from now on.”
Levi sneered, “Why must I stay away from Zoey? I have returned the money to you!”
“Bah! Don’t lie to us! Since when have you returned the money to us, huh? What nonsense!”
The Blacks were now boiling in rage, as they have seen clearly with their own eyes that Levi had the check in his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthand earlier.
How dare he say he’s returned the money to us?
This kid really is full of lies!
“Okay, why don’t you tell us who have you returned the money to?”
Everyone in the Black family was now glaring at Levi questioningly.
“I’ve thrown it into the trash can on the right side of the manor’s gates.”
With that said, Levi left the place.
Everyone at the scene hurriedly returned to the Black family’s manor.
Once they got off the car, they immediately rushed to the trash can Levi mentioned earlier.
“Someone come and empty the trash can for us!” Logan ordered anxiously.
A few servants showed up at once and poured the contents of the trash can onto the ground.
With his nose pinched, Logan rummaged through the trash scattered on the ground for the ten-million cheque.
After half an hour of digging and poking around, Logan still did not manage to find the cheque.
Quintus and Keane also joined the search, but to no avail.
“That brat must have lied to us!” Logan howled in rage.
Zoey commented in a hurry, “That’s not possible! If Levi said the cheque is in the trash, then it must be in the
trash!”
She didn’t believe that Levi would lie just to get his hands on the ten million the Black family had offered him.
“Zoey, you just can’t accept the truth that he lied, right?”
“Let’s search the other trash cans!” Logan sniggered.
With the servants’ help, the Blacks dug into the other trash cans, but they still could not locate it after much hustle.
“It’s not possible! It must be in one of the trash cans around the house! Someone must have gotten ahold of the
cheque!”
Zoey was starting to feel panicky.
I can’t let Levi take the blame here!
I won’t allow that to happen!
In the first place, the Black family was the one who bullied Levi.
If the same thing happened again, Zoey would not forgive herself.
“Why don’t you ask around? Perhaps someone picked it up from the trash can!”
Zoey was panicking.
Meredith ordered all the servants to gather in front of her and bellowed at them, “Did anyone see a cheque lying
around? The lot of you better be honest! If I catch any of you holding on to the cheque, the punishment will be
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsevere!”
Nonetheless, all of the servants shook their heads. “We didn’t see anything at all!”
“Also, if we find anything valuable, we’ll definitely report it to you!”
However, one of the servants had a streak of fear in his eyes.
He clenched onto the side of his shirt with his sweaty palms, but no one noticed.
Boom!
Zoey’s mind went blank.
Is this how things will turn out?
Levi will be framed for something he hasn’t done again?
Logan snickered, “What do you have to say now, Zoey?”
“How could Levi pass up so much money? Perhaps he already knows the two of you are not fated to be with each
other, so why not take the cheque? That way, he could at least gain something out of this whole drama? “
Jennie also jeered at Zoey, “That’s right, Zoey. I think he doesn’t even love you at all! If he really loves you, then he
would have torn the cheque right in our faces!”
“How dare that rascal cheat us! No, I can’t let him get away with this!”
Meredith’s blood was boiling.
“I need an explanation from him!”
