FreeNovelZoey replied, "Even if | say | wasn't involved, you won't believe me, will you?"
Fitch indeed wouldn't believe her. Despite having witnessed the strained relationship between her and her mother, Wendy's case
remained unsolved.
Even if Wendy deserved punishment, Zoey orchestrating a poisoning was far from noble. He had already convicted Zoey in his
mind, and whatever she said would be met with skepticism.
"You best not be involved in this." He said icily, retreating to the couch to sit, "Call your mom. You know what to do."
His people were still out searching for Belinda, and it was only a matter of tbefore they found her. But what would Mia endure
in the meantime? His sister had always been spoiled rotten, unaccustomed to hardship.
Zoey's lashes fluttered downward as she retrieved Belinda's number from the blacklist. Just as she was about to make the call,
Fitch's voice cut through again, "Chere, call in front of me, and put it on speaker."
She lowered her gaze, slowly making her way over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFitch had an aura about him, distinctly different from the likes of lan with his air of high-born grace. His demeanor was steady, cool,
and austere. One of his hands rested on his knee, revealing a flash of a silver wristwatch.
After calling Belinda's number, an excited voice cthrough, "Zoey, dear, the woman you wanted handled has been taken care
of. Don't worry; she won't be in your way anymore."
At these words, Zoey's brow twitched violently, the corners of her mouth twisting involuntarily. Her mother had a cunning streak,
foolish at times but undeniably shrewd when it mattered, always perfectly timing her sabotage.
Just like now, guessing the reason for Zoey's call. Having already crossed the Haskins family, and having fled with her man, if she
could drag Zoey down with her, it would be a win-win-win.
About the poison incident last time, Zoey successfully made herself clean; this time, she would definitely bogged her down.
Belinda despised Zoey, blaming venomously her daughter for the mess that had becher life, and she was determined to
confirm Zoey's involvement in this latest debacle.
Zoey, hearing her mother's words, knew she couldn't cleanse herself from the accusation.
"Zoey, | have taken care of it. No one will ever bully you again."
Zoey found it almost laughable - the best acting her mother had ever done was probably against her own daughter.
Feeling Fitch's piercing gaze, as sharp as a blade, she wanted to end the call, but Fitch clasped her wrist. He didn't look at her but
spoke directly into the phone.
"I'd advise you to return the girl."
His men were already on the trail, and it was only a matter of two days before they would catch up. If Belinda returned Mia now
and treated her well on the way back, they might just spare themselves a beating.
Upon Belinda heard Fitch's voice, her eyes lit up. So, he was there and must have heard everything!
She hung up promptly, even as Mia's weak cries for help echoed in the background. The man had been tormenting Mia, who was
soft and delicate by nature. The thought of being violated by such a repulsive man made her queasy.
Any sign of resistance would earn Mia a slap, and more than that, her body would be bruised from his grip.
This man was Zoey's stepfather, the one who had made a fool of himself at the gala. Under normal circumstances, such a vile man

Yet now, Mia was at his mercy. Mia seethed with hatred. Why was she suffering this fate? Why wasn't it Zoey?
"Ha! | can't believe I've bedded a Haskins girl! Such white skin! So tender! I'd die a happy man!"
Belinda had listened to these sounds all day, and while she loathed it all, it was trivial compared to divorce. The man was just
sleeping with other women, but at least he was still by her side.
