Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

77



As expected, Steven frowned.

Zoe raised her eyebrows.

She raised her wrist and looked at her watch to check the time.

It was already half past ten at night.

Although it was not very late, it was definitely not early.

She curled her lips and said, “No, but it seemed like you are having great fun here, you can stay here. Enjoy yourself!”

Then she walked towards the elevator without looking back.

Annie’s face darkened.

She wanted to stop Zoe again, but Zoe seemed to have made up her mind and ignored

her voice.

Annie was pissed off.

‘Damn it! Why hasn’t Marie come down yet?’

Steven frowned beside her.

“Annie, don’t force her if she just wants to leave. Let’s go. There are still people waiting for us over there.”

Annie looked panicked.

Seeing the elevator door was about to close, she gritted her teeth and suddenly rushed forward.

“Zoe!”

Steven’s face changed dramatically.

Even Zoe, who had already entered the elevator, couldn’t help frowning slightly.

After a flash, Zoe pressed the open button with one hand and supported Annie with the other. With a livid face, she snapped, “Stay away from me if you want to die. Just don’t get me into trouble!”

Steven rushed up and held Annie with a long face.

“What are you doing? You even had no idea how dangerous it was just now!”

How could Annie not know the danger?

Now she was still a little scared, but she had no choice.

Marie hadn’t come down yet. She couldn’t let Zoe go back.

Thinking of this, she was about to say something, but at this time, a middle-aged man ran over from the outside. He glanced at the three, and finally fixed his eyes on Zoe. He said respectfully, “Is this Miss Zoe Gil?”

Zoe nodded.

“Excuse me, your friend, Miss Kaur, on the twelfth floor has met some trouble. She wants you to go upstairs.”

Zoe followed the staff to the guest room department.

Annie and Steven naturally followed them.

As soon as they walked out of the elevator, they felt that the atmosphere on the whole floor was a little strange. At the door of one of the guest rooms, there were several security guards surrounding, and some other people were talking about something loudly inside.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Annie’s face changed slightly.

Steven didn’t know what had happened. He just followed Zoe subconsciously, because he saw the strange expression on the staff’s face when the staff talked to Zoe.

At this time, he heard the crying and arguing inside and couldn’t help asking, “What happened there?”

Zoe looked back at him and then fixed her eyes on Annie with a faint smile.

“I have no idea. Annie, do you know what happened?”

Annie could only force a smile.

“Even you don’t know that. How would I know?”

Noticing that she didn’t look well, Steven asked, “What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Annie’s eyes twinkled.

The woman’s voice inside was so loud that everyone could hear it. Maybe others couldn’t know, but she certainly knew whose voice it was.

It was Marie.

‘Has Marie been caught?’

It was impossible. At this time, everyone was in the banquet hall downstairs. Who would have caught her?

But for the sake of her own safety, she didn’t want to go any closer, so she forced a smile and touched her forehead.

“Steven, I have a headache. I might catch a cold.”

“Then…”

“Oh, a headache? You should have a rest in my room then! I happen to have some medicine for headache in my room.”

“No, thanks.”

“Annie! Are you afraid? ”

Annie’s back went stiff.

She looked at Zoe and saw the familiar indifference and determination in Zoe’s eyes.

Annie couldn’t help but feel flustered.

When she was about to refuse again, Steven also said beside her.

“Let’s go inside and have a rest. You are pregnant now, and it’s not good for you to walk around. If you still feel pain after a rest, I’ll ask someone to drive you to the hospital.”

Now that he had said so, Annie had no choice but to agree.

Finally, she followed them to Zoe’s room.

In the room, Victoria was sitting on the sofa. Next to her were four security guards, all of whom were private bodyguards arranged by Victoria in advance, not from the hotel.

Marie was on her knees in the middle of the

living room, with her hands and feet tied up. Her face was covered with tears, and her makeup was messed up, quite embarrassed.

Not only the three of them came over, but also some onlookers were gathering up even earlier.

It was so noisy that many guests had come to check the situation.

Therefore, when they arrived, there were even many people surrounding the room, as if waiting for some good drama.

Annie’s face turned pale.

“Oh, what happened?”

Zoe asked lightly.

Seeing her, Victoria stood up and said with a smile, “You’re finally back. I caught a thief for you today. Look, it’s even someone you know!”

Zoe looked at the person at the center of

the living room.

Pretending to be surprised, she asked, “Marie? Why are you here?”

“I…”

At this time, Marie naturally knew that she was fooled. She could only falter, “I just went to the wrong room. How could you tie me up and frame me as a thief? Zoe! What do you mean by doing that?”

Zoe raised her eyebrows.

“The wrong room?”

She sneered, “If I remember correctly, your room should be on the eighth floor. How could you go to the twelfth floor by mistake?”

Marie was speechless.

Flustered, she looked at Annie and explained stiffly, “I … I was drunk, okay?”

“Drunk?” Victoria sneered, “You were drunk,

and you still came here to rummage around her room? You should think twice before you decide to tell a lie! Besides, you were certainly very sober when you copied the files in the laptop with the USB drive!”

Marie panicked.

She pretended not to know anything, “What files? I don’t know what you are talking about!”

Victoria didn’t want to waste her breath for the nonsense anymore. She asked the bodyguard to search for the USB drive on Marie’s body.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

Since the USB drive was also found on her body, Marie had no reason to argue anymore.

Now that the thief didn’t say anything, Victoria asked Zoe, “What do you think we should do with her?”

Marie glared at Zoe angrily.

There was even a hint of warning and threat in her eyes.

Zoe sneered, her eyes cold.

“Let the police deal with this case then!”

“What?”

Marie screamed, “Zoe Gil, you can’t be so arrogant! Once I tell the truth, neither of us two will be able to be fine in the end!”

With a sneer, Zoe said, “I’d like to hear how much pain I will suffer from your so-called truth.”

At this time, more and more people who got the news came here.

Many people gathered at the door and whispered to discuss.

“Hey, what’s going on? How could Marie just come there to steal a file?”

“I don’t know! Is it some kind of business secret?”

“If that’s the case, stealing business secrets is quite a serious crime and she will be in jail for many years, right?”

“Yeah, but she deserves it! How dare she be a theft. She’s so shameless.”
