This time, Zoe laughed.
She looked at Annie and said in a light voice, “A mistress has a tough life … Is this from your personal experience? After all, you’re a mistress for so many years, you shall have some insight and understanding, right?”
Annie was stunned.
Her face was instantly pale and then livid.
Zoe laughed again, “Luckily you have the self-awareness to know that you are not good enough for Mr. Han and have completely cut off that idea. As for me, you don’t have to worry. Instead of bothering my business, you better care about your business. After all, you don’t have a child now, so you have lost your bargaining chip to marry into the Anderson family. If Steven regrets, I don’t know what you can do!”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
At these words, Annie completely changed her face.
“Zoe!” She gritted her teeth, “The reason why Steven hasn’t married me yet is because I’m not ready. It’s not that he doesn’t want to!”
Zoe shrugged indifferently, “If you say so!”
It was a fact that she was pregnant before she got married.
It was also true that the baby had gone.
Annie was furious.
Zoe did not bother to pay attention to her anymore. She took her handbag and went outside.
Ciara and the others had already gone down. In the office, everyone saw that she and Annie came out one after the other. They all could not help but quietly cast a gossipy gaze.
Zoe ignored them. She looked directly at Elsa who had walked towards her and instructed, “Elsa, I’ll go out for a while. If there is any busybody in the company, you shall write down the names for me.”
Everyone’s face instantly turned pale.
Elsa held back her laughter and respectfully replied, “Yes.”
Zoe turned around to look at the staff in the office and said aloud, “I never bother to do anything against my conscience. However, some people just enjoy putting some ridiculous accusations on me. I really don’t know what to do with that.”
“I understand that people all like to gossip, but I hope that you will not spread some rumors, or things might get quite embarrassing should it turn out to be false. More importantly, it might affect the relationship between colleagues.
That’s all! I’ll leave now. Let’s all think over it.”
After saying that, Zoe turned around and walked out in big strides.
The people in the office looked at each other in disbelief, all panicking for a moment.
After learning the shocking news just now, a few people who had prejudice towards Zoe had already spread the news via Facebook.
She was not really going to come to them for this, right?
A few of them were uncertain about what to do.
At this moment, Elsa gave a clear cough and stepped forward.
“Everyone has heard the words that the president just said, so just go to work and don’t gossip, got it?”
“Understood.”
The crowd responded obediently. Only then did
Elsa leave.
On the other hand, Zoe followed Ciara and arrived at the hospital together.
After Randy Kruf was knocked unconscious by Zoe last night, he found that his hands and his feet were tied up and a smelly rag was stuffed in his mouth when he woke up.
In order not to interfere with his business, Ciara had driven all the maids on the entire second floor away. So, no matter how hard he banged on the door and called for help, no one could hear him.
It had been several hours when Anna found him. Anna figured out that it was about time and she followed Mrs. Gil’s instruction to check on the situation.
When Randy Kruf was finally set free, though he was not hurt in any way, he was furious.
He shouted that he would definitely get Zoe
into trouble, and he would never spare the Gil family either.
Ciara was furious on the spot. On the one hand, she was angry at Zoe’s disobedience. On the other hand, she was also afraid of Randy Kruf’s anger.
After all, Randy Kruf was not like the Gil family and the Anderson family, who were all decent businessmen and merchants. He had some underworld background, and it was heard that he did many bad things in the past.
She was not worried if he came to them directly, but she was afraid that he might use some nasty tricks on them.
When the time came, the Gil family and the Anderson family combined would not be his match.
Ciara was so angry but she still tried her best to calm him down, saying that she would definitely ask Zoe to apologize to him in person. Only
after a long day of persuasion did Randy Kruf stop being angry.
At the same time, in his heart, he secretly hated Zoe even more.
Damn it! Bitch.
It was fine she did not like him. But the embarrassing fact that he had lost the meat that was already in his mouth and was even tied up by Zoe had made him so mad.
If he did not take revenge, he would not be Randy Kruf!
Therefore, when the door of the ward was pushed open and he saw the Gil family, Randy Kruf showed his dull face.
“Yo, who is it? It’s Mrs. Gil. Why? Your granddaughter didn’t beat me up enough yesterday, and you’ve come to see my joke today too?”
There was a huge difference between the careless and casual look of the man on the bed with the civilized and polite appearance at the dinner table last night.
“Ah … Mr. Kruf, what you’re talking about? I would like to make thousands of apologies to you. How could I come to laugh at you? Zoe knows that she did the wrong things last night and specially asked me to bring her over to apologize to you.”
With that, she turned her head to look at Zoe who had been standing in the doorway. Her gaze contained a hint of warning.
“Zoe, come in quickly!”
Only then did Randy Kruf notice that Zoe was really here, standing right in the doorway.
She was wearing a simple black professional suit. Her hair was tied into a ponytail behind her head. It was obviously a very simple outfit.
However, when she stood there, she was like a bright landscape, looking cool and intellectual. She was like a delicate flower on the snowy mountain, and he could not help but pause to admire.
Randy Kruf was stunned for a moment.
He was surprised to find that he was very angry before she arrived.
However, as soon as he saw she appear at the door, her flawless and delicate face had chased his anger away in just an instant.
As long as she admitted her mistakes, apologized to him and was willing to be obedient to him, he was willing to get her regardless of his past grudges.
Randy Kruf’s gaze grew hot.
“Yo, Miss Gil, you’re really here. I’m sorry that I didn’t see you. Someone like Miss Gil must feel so much aggrievance for coming and apologizing to me.”
Randy Kruf was clearly happy, putting on a condescending face.
Zoe smiled faintly and walked over.
“You’re right, apologizing to you is indeed such an aggrievance to me.”
Randy Kruf lifted his eyelids. He sized her up smugly.
“Then is Miss Gil going to apologize to me or not?”
Zoe tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment.
“Well … I’ve never enjoyed aggrievance, so I might as well just tell the truth!”
She said while pulling over a chair and sitting down with a calm attitude.
Behind her, Cuare shouted warningly, “Zoe!”
Zoe had a casual attitude and said indifferently, “Mrs. Gil, you asked me to come here today, so don’t worry, I will tell Mr. Kruf exactly what you had instructed me to tell. I will never miss any of your words.”
