“Grandma, so what should we do now?”
“Let’s calm down for a while. I still have to think of a way to deal with this Randy Kruf. Everything else can be dealt later.”
“Okay.”
The Gil family left the hospital.
Meanwhile, Zoe also got into her car. She took out her phone, which had been buzzing for quite some time in her bag, and answered the call.
“Are you still at the hospital? How are things being handled?”
As soon as the call was answered, the man directly asked her.
Zoe was stunned for a moment. She felt a little surprised that he knew about her whereabouts.
“I just came out from the hospital. Well… I think the thing has been settled. I reckon the Gil family should be about to die of anger at this moment.”
Feeling the pleasure in her tone, the man was also influenced, and he could not help but smile. He finally felt relieved.
“I will deal with that Randy Kruf. As for the Gil family, what are your plans?”
Zoe was stunned. She just wanted to say that she did not need him to intervene, but as she thought of the power behind Randy Kruf, even if she really sued him for attempted rape, everyone in the Gil family would give statements in favor of him. If they really did, she may not be able to sue him successfully.
Just now, she was just saying it on purpose to
piss him off. But now when she looked back, she realized that it was indeed a little difficult to do so.
So, she did not refuse the man’s suggestion. She thought for a while and said, “I want to cut off the relationship between me and the Gil family.”
She should have made this decision five years ago.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
At that time, it was a pity that she still had a slight hope towards this family even though she was in deep pain and misery.
After all, they had loved her and doted her when she was child. They also called her ‘good girl’ and held her in their arms back then. The warm affection of being a family stored in her memories could not be erased so easily.
But it was only until this time. Now, she finally gave up.
Some things just could not be retained just how much she had wanted to.
Time had already cause it to deteriorate. From the moment Annie and her mother came to the Gil family, her grandmother was no longer her grandmother, and her father was no longer hers either.
The situation had come to this point, so things should end as the way it should be. Since she decided to leave, there was no need to turn back.
Henry had never expected that she would be so decisive. Moreover, women always took affection seriously. They must have hurt her so deeply that she had made such a decision.
His eyes were dim. Then, he said, “Okay.”
“Okay, I’ll take care of this.”
“No, leave it to me! I want to do this myself.”
At the other end of the line, the man went silent.
Zoe explained, “I not only want to cut off relationship with them, but I also want to take back all the things that belong to me. Those accusations they put on me, I want them to take back their words. Henry, I don’t want to leave this matter to others. If I can’t even handle this little thing, I don’t deserve to stand by your side.”
The man’s deep and pleasant voice came through the phone.
“You don’t have to do anything to stand by my side.”
“But I’ll feel uneasy. I am not a weak girl that needs protection. Henry, please trust me.”
There was a brief silence on the phone, and time passed slowly like the sand flowing in an hourglass.
After an unknown duration of time, she finally heard his voice.
“Okay.”
A simple ‘okay’ made her felt relieved instantly.
She was really worried that he would not agree to it. After all, she knew the man had a strong desire to control everything, but she also clearly knew that although he agreed to it now, he might still intervene in the future.
But she was still very happy because he chose to respect her decision.
Thinking of this, Zoe couldn’t help but smile.
“But there’s one thing you need to promise me.” Henry said suddenly.
“What is it?”
“I will only give you one month to deal with it. After one month, you must come back to Eqitin and be my real wife.”
Zoe, “…”
She was sitting in the car, and she was somewhat stunned.
His real wife?
Her heart was actually touched by his request. In the end, she bit her lip and promised him, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Zoe returned to the office.
The office was extremely quiet, and everyone seemed to be working hard to hide their guiltiness.
Zoe walked into the office without any facial expression and ordered Elsa to come over.
When Elsa arrived, Zoe had just sat down on her chair.
She looked up at her and asked, “How it is? Have you taken down the names of those who spread rumors in the company?”
At the door, an employee was about to come in to report his work. The corner of his mouth twitched when he heard this.
Elsa could not help splitting her mouth slightly into a smile. She knew that Zoe said this on purpose to frighten those people outside.
So, she laughed cooperatively and said, “Well, it’s all written down.”
“I guess they won’t have their bonuses for this month!”
“Okay.”
The door of the office was close. Those people outside were agitated when they got the news.
It turned out that the president really meant what she said! She was not joking at all.
Some people started to regret, and some people gloated over their punishment.
Undoubtedly, everyone recognized the fact that
although Zoe looked soft on the outside, she wasn’t a weak person that could be bullied easily.
Fortunately, they lost their bonuses this time, but they didn’t dare to think what the punishment would be next time!
Since then, those who had been so curious just now had turned completely silent, and the company no longer had any rumors spread among the employees.
Three days later.
The online talent show began.
Except for Laura, the rest of the artists in the company were all sent to the program.
Zoe saw potential in them. Since they were participating in the program, she would spare no efforts promoting and building a good image for them.
Currently, the company had limited manpower, and these were the most important artists that Zoe had. For the time being, Zoe felt that it was not safe to leave these things to others, so she wanted to do everything by herself.
In addition, the news of a famous artist from Annie International getting into a relationship brought a big blow to the company. It became a hot topic instantly and was posted on the trending topic list several times.
No one in her department couldn’t handle the situation. Hence, the case was passed to Zoe.
Naturally, Zoe became extremely busy these days.
When she finally settled the things on this side, another problem arose in the artist department of Star Entertainment.
Hence, working overtime until dawn became a
common thing to Zoe. Sometimes, she would directly sleep in the office for several days to deal with urgent cases and did not have time to go back to the Han Mansion.
At last, when Henry did not see her at home for three days straight, he could not tolerate anymore.
It was already nine in the evening. As usual, Zpe had to work overtime and did not leave the company. Suddenly, she received a call from the man.
“Go back yourself, or I will go to the company to pick you up.”
At the other end of the call, she could feel, the voice of the man was hardly friendly. It seemed as if he had tried to hold back his anger for quit long a time.
She was stunned, “What happened?”
“What happened? Do you even know how many
days you have been out?”
Zoe, “…”
She felt like she was more like a busy husband being scolded by her wife for not going home…
No, no. no. It must be an illusion.
Just think about how bossy this man had been! She must not think of him as some needy lamb just because some silly words he said, she thought.
