Mrs. Wright was stunned, and Ciara’s face turned pale.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I didn’t…”
Zoe interrupted her directly, “Grandma, Steven and I are not right for each other and have already broken up, so there’s no need for you to worry about our affairs anymore.”
Mrs. Wright frowned and cast Ciara a questioning glance.
“Zoe, did she tell you to say those words?”
Zoe just smiled and didn’t say a word.
Ciara was instantly furious, ”Zoe! What do you mean by that? When did I ever tell you to say such words? It was you who insisted to come over and explain to Mrs. Wright, and said it was the only way to get her to forgive you, have you forgotten all that?”
Zoe curled her lips sarcastically, “Oh? What did I do to have to come over and beg my grandmother for her forgiveness?”
At this time, Annie also walked over holding Steven’s arm.
She stood beside Helen and looked at Zoe with resignation.
“Zoe, please stop your stubbornness now. Everyone in our family has already known the things you have done with Dennis. We just thought it might damage your reputation and have kept it secret for you, but Mrs. Wright is so good to you, how can you even lie to her?”
“Dennis? What Dennis?”
“Still playing dumb. The second son of the Maldonado family, that notorious playboy! It’s
my fault for neglecting to discipline you all these years, and you’ve become so shameless, leaving Mr. Miller behind and hooking up with that kind of man.”
Zoe’s expression changed slightly.
Dennis Maldonado, the second son of the owner of Maldonado Group, and everyone in the city of Julio had known about his deeds as a playboy.
He spent his days drinking wines and having fun with all kinds of woman, and there were also rumors of him being a drug addict. He was married once a couple years ago but it was said that his wife ended up getting crippled by him.
With the power and wealth of the family, he ended up getting away with it and simply paid the family of the woman a fortune and then divorced her.
The incident had been quite stirring in the city
and Natalia also heard about it.
She never expected, though, Ciara would say she had hooked up with this man.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
She sneered, “Mrs. Gil, do you even have any evidence? When did you see me together with him.”
“So you are just won’t give up. Alright, alright! Philip, let’s get Mr. Maldonado here.”
At that, she sighed, “Since you won’t admit it, we could only let you confront each other face to face. Don’t blame me if it makes you embarrassed.”
Zoe was sullen as her gaze swept towards Steven, who was standing behind Ciara, and he slightly turned his face away to avoid her gaze.
She sneered suddenly, “Great, great, I thought you asked me to come over today just to make it easy for them, but now it seems that you are more greedy and selfish than I thought, and actually come to slander me like this for them!”
Ciara’s face was expressionless, “Whether it’s slander or not, we’ll find out when Mr. Maldonado arrives.”
Soon, Dennis Maldonado came over with Philip.
As soon as he saw the woman in front of him, his eyes lit up.
He had never met Zoe before, but he had heard of her because of that incident five years ago.
At first when Philip approached him about this, he was a bit reluctant until he saw Zoe’s picture and then he was impressed by her beauty.
And this time when he saw her in the flesh, he was even more surprised to find that she looked actually more beautiful than in the picture.
He felt so lucky today and picked up a great bargain.
Ciara looked at him and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Maldonado, do you know this woman?”
He looked at Zoe’s cool, delicate face, and an obscene smile appeared on his face.
“Yes, of course I know her. We are quite familiar with each other, right, Zo?”
The way he called her name made goosebumps rise all over her skin.
She glanced at the man in disgust and said in a cold voice.
“Mr. Maldonado, we’ve never met before. I don’t know when we started to get familiar with each other? What do you even know about me?”
Dennis rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
“Of course I have known every part of you…”
Ciara gave a clear cough.
Mrs. Wright’s face had also turned livid.
Only then did the man realize that he was being frivolous, and hastily curbed his lewd look and laughed.
“Just kidding. Hah. Please don’t mind me.”
Then he looked at Zoe curtly, “Zoe, well, I know you’re a bit angry because I’ve been busy with work and neglected you lately, but you’ve been making trouble for so many days, can you just stop it and go back with me?”
Zoe was so furious that she could barely even sneer, staring at him with a sarcastic expression.
“Mr. Maldonado, you should be responsible for what you say! It’s ridiculous. We have never been together.”
The man frowned at her words.
“Zoe, you can argue with me and mess with me if you want, but you can’t say that. We’ve been together for two years, and didn’t you come back for me? How can you say such heartless nonsense now?”
“Bullshit! We haven’t even met each other!”
“Ugh, I’m not happy about your words! All right, since you insist, then I’ll have more evidence.”
He said, pulling out his phone from his pocket and swiping it a few times before showing the screen towards Mrs. Wright.
“Mrs. Wright, please look at this, all the photos in here are of Zoe and me. We have slept together at least for one or two hundred times, and every time she liked to take photos in the bed. I have no other merits, but I like to spoil women, especially the women I like. These are
all her photos, if it is not enough, there are more. Oh, right, I’ve posted some on my social account, do you want to see?”
He said as he swiped on the screen.
Mrs. Wright could no longer hold back her anger. Her face had already turned ashen.
Zoe hurriedly explained, “Grandma, don’t listen to his nonsense, I didn’t …”
“Enough!”
Elisa suddenly snapped, turning her head to glare at Zoe.
“Zor, tell me the truth! Do you have any relationship with this scumbag or not?”
Zoe’s gaze sank as she gritted her teeth, “No.”
“Zoe! You have a red mole on your left breast and a small moon-shaped birthmark on the bottom of your foot. If we’re not in love, how
would I know all this?”
The man said loudly in a hurry.
Zoe paled.
She turned back, and saw Mrs. Wright dumbstruck, her face full of disappointment.
As her grandmother, who had watched her growing up, she accompanied the nurse to give her first bath in the hospital after she was born.
She sure knew her birthmark on her body.
And the birthmarks in those secret places were not even known to the Gil family, except for a very few close people.
