The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Zoe widened her eyes at Jason.

Jason's face was tainted red with rage because of Carrie.

Zoe had a feeling that Jason's attitude toward Carrie was changing. He used to speak of Carrie in disdain, but now he looked like he was sulking in jealousy.

"No... I can't just let the whole thing go."

Jason's veins along his head bulged. "Carrie was supposed to marry me. She has to be mine! No one can take her away from me."

Zoe spread her legs and straddled Jason, whipping two slaps across his cheeks.

"Zoe, w-what are you doing?" Jason was caught off guard.

"I can't believe you, Jason! Didn't you say that I was the only one for you? Didn't you say you'd always love me?"

With rage in her eyes, Zoe put her hands on his neck and squeezed hard to strangle him. "But all signs are pointing to you falling for that dummy! Tell me! Are you into Carrie?"

"N-No, Zoe. I am not! I only wanted to marry her to give her a hard time. I was only doing it for you." Jason wrapped his arms around her waist and dropped his jaw wide as the suffocation closed in on him. Yet the feeling gave him a thrill.

"I'm warning you, Jason."

Zoe leaned down, smacked his face, and threatened through gritted teeth, "The Hoffmans have ties to the underworld. We have ways to finish off a man without anyone noticing. If you dare to betray me, I'll show you the gates of hell in more ways than one. You hear me?"

Jason shuddered. Still, his mind flew back to the lithe figure in Ralph's arms from the banquet.

He clenched his fists in secret.

Just then, Zoe's phone rang, and it was from an unknown number.

She got up and put on a robe before taking the call peevishly.

"Who is this?"

Silence ensued on the other end of the line.

"Are you going to talk, or are you mute?"

"You seem to be enjoying life, Zoe."

Zoe's heart sank at the sound of Bethany's hoarse voice. "Bethany? Weren't you-"All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Haha. Do you really think my life ended when Justin sent me abroad? Did you think I would never come back?" Bethany smiled menacingly. "I should thank my lucky stars that I'm back."

Zoe clutched her bathrobe with shaky hands.

"I gave you the medical report that ruined the marriage between Ryan and Carrie. Once the jig was up, you managed to get away unscathed while I took the brunt of it all. Did you think I'd roll over and take it?"

Zoe made a face. She knew how

met

extensive Justin's and Bella's connections and influence were. Bethany could not possibly make her way back to the country without help. However, that was the least of Zoe's concerns.

She asked in a chilling voice, "What do you want?"

Bethany laughed maniacally. "Well,

nice guys

finish last. I had been too kind before..I should've gotten thugs to gang-rape Carrie. I should've gotten her killed and chopped into a million pieces. Ryan, Justin, and the Thompson bitch should suffer in regret for the rest of their lives."

Zoe felt her stomach churning, as Bethany had clearly lost it. Zoe said, "You are heading in the right direction, but why bother coming back if you're here for murder? Is prison your goal?"

"You're right. Iwas only talking out

of spite just now. I have my plans." Bethany ceased laughing and said curtly, "I'm back for revenge. I want Carrie to suffer as much as I did. We should work together again, partner. But this will be the last time."

Zoe furrowed her brows.

The Soloways' decision to back out of the marriage caused her plan to fall through.

Yet now, Bethany did not seem right in the mind.

If the plan were executed right, Zoe would find the solution to all her problems. However, if Bethany did not rein in, the plan could blow up in Zoe's face.

Amid Zoe's hesitation, a call from her mother came in.
