The anniversary meeting of the Jones family was advertised so well that even Zoey was aware of it.
“Are you going to be there?” She looked for Levi and asked him about it.
In fact, she was mainly curious to see how he thought about the event.
As far as she knew about him in the past, he would not want to waste his time attending the event nor would he
want to accept the identity as one of the members of the Jones family.
Staring at him with anticipation palpable in her eyes, she fervently hoped to hear the answer she preferred from
him.
“I’m going to be there because they invited me,” Levi replied nonchalantly.
What?!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that moment, Zoey’s eyes were filled with much disappointment because Levi was no longer the lofty guy who
thought he was superior to everyone else in the world.
What took its place was a soul that was willing to compromise for some worldly gains.
This wasn’t the version of him she would like to see…
Levi then asked her with a smile, “Would you like to go with me?”
He wanted to bring her there to see how he was going to shine and leave the Jones family in stupor because of his
glory.
To his dismay, Zoey turned him down decisively. “I’m not going. You may attend the event on your own!”
In her opinion, it was utterly humiliating for Levi to accept the identity as one of the Joneses.
On top of that, she was really taken aback by his sudden change of attitude because he had told her that he would
ignore them for the rest of his life some time ago.
Iris, who happened to come by, noticed the exasperated look on Zoey’s face. Out of curiosity, she queried, “Zoey,
what’s the matter?”
“Levi just said he’s going to attend the anniversary meeting of the Jones family!” Zoey grumbled resentfully.
“Huh? Is there anything wrong with that?”
“Iris, by attending their anniversary it shows that he’s going to yield to them. The moment he accepts the identity
as one of them, he will lose his backbone and embarrass himself. Didn’t you hate him for doing things like that too
before this?” Zoey asked in befuddlement.
“I…” Iris trailed off hesitatingly as she had no idea how to answer Zoey.
Back then, she indeed loathed the fact that Levi got things done by using his connection with the Joneses because
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe had no idea who he really was at that time.
But now, she knew Levi was the owner of Morris Group who clearly did not need help from the Joneses.
“Zoey, things aren’t how you may imagine them to be at all. Perhaps Levi is going to be there to show off his
might,” Iris suggested with a grin.
Zoey shot her a supercilious glare and retorted, “Show off his might? Who is he to show off in front of the Joneses?
They are one of the royal families in South Hampton!”
“Maybe…”
“Iris, that’s enough. It’s so obvious that Levi has lost his backbone by deciding to yield to the Joneses! I can’t believe
he’s still going to attend their anniversary after how badly they bullied him!”
Zoey went on to lament, “Perhaps it’s because my career has been thriving so well lately that he wants to become
better so that he is good enough to be my partner. Yes, he’s right! He will become good enough or even too good
for me once he accepts the identity as one of the Joneses! However, I can’t help but look down on him when he
gives up his spine like that! I would rather he fight for his career with his own effort. Even though his achievement
might not turn out too great, it will still be the fruit of his effort!”
