NovelEnglishEvery tMia saw her, she'd douse her with wine.
"Didn't | make myself clear last time? You and my brother are from different worlds. How low can you go, huh? How much more
does he have to cut you off before you get the message and back off?"
Upon hearing the words, Zoey felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. She hadn't cto see Fitch this evening; in fact, she
had no idea he was there.
Mia closed in, gripping Zoey's hair, ready to deliver a slap without hesitation. Zoey tried to dodge, but two burly bouncers pinned
her shoulders from behind, holding her in place.
Mia's hand connected with her cheek, and not feeling satisfied with just one, she followed up with two more slaps.
Zoey's face swelled up quickly. This kind of scene was all too familiar, almost routine by now.
"If you know what's good for you, you'll get lost. Tonight's the first date between Wendy and my brother. If you dare do anything to
mess it up, | swear, I'll skin you alive!"
As Mia's voice faded, her gaze drifted to the distance.
Zoey had intended to leave, but catching the change in Mia's expression from the corner of her eye, she knew Mia was up to no
good, probably having found a new toy to torment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZoey followed Mia's gaze, her body tensing.
Because she saw her mother, whom she'd had a falling out with so severe that they were practically estranged. She'd thrown
herself into her relationship with Fitch, finding a bit of breathing room, but now that Fitch had discarded her, standing before Mia,
she felt utterly and completely humiliated.
Mia raised an eyebrow, eyeing Belinda.
"Isn't that your mom? What's she doing here? Don't tellshe's stooped to prostituting herself at her age?"
No sooner had she spoken than they saw Belinda accost a young woman, and tear at her hair like a madwoman.
Belinda was dressed in the uniform of a cleaning staff member, but now she was entwined with the young girl, who let out a
piercing scream, throwing the place into chaos.
The smooth music stopped, and all eyes turned to Belinda as she clutched the girl's hair tightly.
"You slut! Seducing my husband! Huh?! Do you have any idea how close we were? It's all your fault! All you're good for is spreading
your legs for men. Why don't you just drop dead!"
With the music off, Belinda's voice was loud, reaching nearly every ear in the venue. Security was already on the move, pulling
Belinda away.
The girl whose hair had been pulled collapsed into the arms of a nearby man, sobbing pitifully.
"You tramp! Playing the victim again! Swear to me, swear you'll never cnear my family again!"
"I didn't do anything. | don't even know your husband!"
"You're still lying. Last tat the mall, you gave him a box with lingerie inside, you bitch."
"Please, the mall was having a promotion, and as a lingerie salesperson, | give gifts to customers who spend over five hundred."
The implication was clear: her husband had spent five hundred in her store and got the lingerie for free. If it wasn't for Belinda,
then he must have been gifting it to someone else.
Zoey knew her mother all too well. Belinda was possessive of her men, to the point of seeing her own daughter as a rival. It was
her man who had improper intentions toward Zoey, but in Belinda's eyes, it was Zoey who was the seductress.
Belinda had hurled every vile insult at Zoey, and now she was beginning to suspect every pretty young girl of trying to seduce her
man.
The girl collapsed in the man's embrace; the man, clearly wealthy, ordered security to throw Belinda out and was determined to
get a medical certificate for the assaulted girl to press charges.
Hearing this, Belinda panicked.
"You're in cahoots, seducing my man and now suing me! Is there no justice in this world, no law?"
Her eyes suddenly found Zoey, "Zoey, chere! You're my daughter. Cand stand up for me!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust then, around the corner of the corridor appeared a few figures: Fitch, Wendy and Tyler. While Belinda continued to spew filth,
tossing out words like "whore" and "worthless as a pig", she struggled and screamed.
"That's my daughter. If you have something to say, say it to her!" In her moment of distress, Belinda thrust Zoey into the spotlight.
It wasn't the first tBelinda had thrown Zoey under the bus. Throughout her life, the good fortune never fell to her; but when it
cto taking the fall, Belinda never hesitated to push her forward.
Zoey was accustomed to this, yet with Fitch and Wendy present, she could only feel a burning pain on her cheeks. It wasn't the
sting of the slaps that burned, but the sting of humiliation.
