Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

“Alas! I should not tell you this but it’s indeed too appalling. Do you know? As soon as her family came, they said that a man outside had kept her as a mistress. They also said that she had soiled her family name as she had gone out of her way to be a mistress for money. They thought that she’s undutiful as she disobeyed her elders at home and persecuted her sister, in short … tsk, it’s just too frightening.”

“It can’t be! Miss Gil does not look like that kind of person.”

The receptionist added, “I don’t know about this, but they gave so many details. It just may be true. They also said that they had taken great efforts to find a good husband for Miss Gil. They asked her to go for a blind date but she’s not willing. Not only that, but she also ended up

beating the man.”

“So barbaric!”

“Yea. It’s said that for the power of the rich man who supports her secretly, even they are her family, they do not dare to say anything. They have been quite angry at her.”

“Who’s the boss behind her?”

“Who knows? But judging from the fact that he dares to offend the Gil family, he must be a very powerful person!”

“Huh … this is too disgusting! How can she do that?”

“Yeah, I once thought that she was a really tough businesswoman, but it turns out that she relies on men to get to the top, she’s simply shameless!”

“What can you do about it? She’s pretty and lofty. You know what? The richer and more capable a man is, the more he loves this kind of woman. Just like people always say, you always want what you can’t have. The more you make it difficult for a man to get you, the more the men will like you.”

“Heh! I really wish I can see who the man behind her is.”

“These days, most of the men who keep young girls are old, married men. I guess she’s no exception.”

A few miles away, Henry, the “old man” in the mouth of the people discussing him, sneezed fiercely.

Damn it! Who was cursing?

The receptionist who had just shared the story with them laughed and said, “I saw that the Gil family were quite angry when they came here today. It makes sense. Of course, they would be angry. The Gil family is quite prestigious in Julio. Now, they shall be very angry as they have such a shameless daughter.”

“That’s true. We can enjoy a good show today. Let’s go and have a look.”

The group of people went into the company with the intention of watching a good show.

On the other hand, when Zoe just entered the office, she could keenly feel the gaze of the people around her was not quite the same as usual.

Some of them were contemptuous, some mocking, some sympathetic and some envious.

She frowned secretly. When she walked to the door of her office, she could hear the shouting and cursing inside and immediately she knew what was going on.

Her delicate cool face darkened immediately.

“Bang!”

The door of the office was pushed open vigorously. Everyone inside the office was startled.

The original slanderous shouting came to an abrupt halt.

Zoe looked at the circle of people sitting in the office with a cold face.

Well, Ciara, Jaden, Helen and Annie were here! All the members of the Gil family were here!

They had really come here to hold Zoe responsible for what happened last night!

She sneered and walked over, throwing her handbag on the desk with a “bang” sound.

“Just don’t stop! Why don’t you go on cursing? Aren’t you talking about me? I am right here to listen! What did you say just now? Who’s shameless and who’s hitting people?”

Zoe was dressed in a black suit. She stood there with her arms clasped and her cold heroic aura was about to explode.

Ciara looked at her condescending attitude and shivered with anger.

“Good, you’re finally here! Great, I thought you would hide from me and you don’t even dare to come to the office anymore! Looks like you don’t have that many guts!”

Zoe sneered.

“Why I dare not come to my own company? I’m not like someone who deliberately spread rumors to the public to ruin my reputation. I have recorded them one by one. When I’m free later, I will definitely go and sue her for slandering. I believe it shall not be difficult!”

When these words were spoken, the entire office was silent.

Ciare was so angry that her face turned livid.

Jaden also felt somewhat timorous.

Seeing this, Annie hurriedly came forward and took Zoe’s arm. She said softly, “Sister, don’t be angry. We are all family. Grandma is your elder. What would she say about you in the public? It’s just some angry words, no one will take them seriously.”

Zoe tilted her head to look at her and curled her lips cynically.

“Oh? Is that so? Then why don’t I take you out for a stroll now, I’m sure there are plenty of people who haven’t shut their mouth up yet and we can still hear something from them.”

Annie was speechless.

She lowered her head with an embarrassed face, then looked at Ciara with bewilderment.

Ciara had already calmed down by now. She stared sharply at Zoe and she tried to stabilize her breath.

Only then did she say in a cold voice, “Alright! You don’t have to threaten us. We didn’t deliberately slander you. Do you dare to say that what we said is not true? You’ve been misbehaving and hooking up with men outside, do you still blame us for saying something that’s true?”

Zoe found it funny. She laughed and asked with interest, “I’d like to hear from you that how I’ve misbehaved? Who have I hooked up with?”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Ciara sneered disdainfully, “You shall know what you’ve done! If it isn’t because of this issue, why would I have gone to all the trouble of finding you a husband? If you want to die, no one will stop you, but don’t put the Gil family into trouble!”

“It’s okay for you to let me down, but it’s wrong for you to injure Mr. Kruf that heavily. Do you just have to get the Gil family killed?”

Zoe raised her eyebrows with a little surprise.

To be honest, someone like Randy Kruf deserved to die.

But because she had been drugged yesterday, her hands were weak and feeble, so she did not hit him with much force.

Also, she had hit the man in the right place. Logically, the man would only lose his consciousness temporarily. It was impossible to cause any hurt.

Before Zoe could say anything, by her side, Annie added, “Yes, sister, Mr. Kruf is still lying in the hospital. You two were getting along quite well before. Even if you really have some conflicts, you should go and visit him. It’s good to bury the hatchet.”

Zoe’s eyelids were twitching.

She was extremely angry but she refrained herself from kicking them all out.

“Were we getting along quite well? With which eye did you see that?”

Annie put on her usual innocent pretense and said, “We all saw it! Yesterday, you were talking and laughing with Mr. Kruf. He even held your hand, and you didn’t reject him, right?”

“You knew that we had called him over to arrange a blind date for you, but you didn’t object at all. You even agreed to get a marriage license at the weekend. Doesn’t that show that you like him too?”

Zoe felt the veins on her temples popping out.

She laughed with anger, “You are speaking up for him and calling him ‘Mr. Kruf’ with such affection, it is you who like him more.”

“Oh, that’s right, you always like whatever I have! Isn’t Steven just an example?”

Annie’s expression changed drastically and turned slightly pale.

Ciara suddenly said in an angry tone, “Shut up!”
