Meredith hissed. Immediately, silence befell the room.
Everyone was frightened and dared not even breathe.
Right then, Meredith did not stop the barrage of questions she had for Levi.
“What does Zoey’s company have to do with you? Are you in any position to decide for her? You really think you’re
all that, don’t you?”
Others had also chimed in angrily, “Yes, she owns the company. How does that concern you? What charade are you
trying to pull here?”
“You’re obviously underqualified here, so shut the hell up. At best, you’re a kept man!”
Levi’s words had drawn the Black family’s ire.
Zoey, hearing the commotion, tried to pour oil over troubled waters. “Alright, Grandma and Grandpa. Don’t mind
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim,” she soothed. “He meant well and just did not wish to trouble you, that’s all.”
Meredith stopped but retorted sarcastically, “Well, I’m sure he thinks that way!”
Logan then looked at Levi and smirked, “Have you ever considered how unworthy you are of Zoey?”
Jennie echoed her husband’s words immediately, “That’s right! Zoey’s company has a market value of five billion
and is backed by the Morris Group! What do you have?”
“Yeah, it’s obvious! In the Black family, the both of you are not equal in status!”
The dinner was very unpleasant, with Meredith looking sour the entire time.
“Zoey, stay for a moment, alone. I have something to ask you,” said Meredith.
After the event, Zoey went up to Meredith alone, nervously. “What’s wrong, grandma?”
“Zoey, I have a personal question to ask,” said Meredith, as she gently stroked Zoey’s hair.
“Oh? What is it?” replied Zoey, puzzled.
“All this time, have you not planned to have kids with Levi?” queried Meredith.
Upon hearing the question, a hint of bashfulness flitted across Zoey’s features. “Not yet, grandma. For now, we’re
focusing on our careers.”
“No, I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m asking you in all honesty – have you slept with Levi yet?” asked Meredith
again, more directly this time.
“W-what?” stammered Zoey. She was stunned, and her face was a deep shade of red.
Out of everyone, she did not expect her grandmother to ask such questions.
“Be honest. What is the situation like between the both of you?” questioned Meredith.
Zoey felt her breath quicken.
“Grandma, he hasn’t touched me yet,” came Zoey’s truthful answer.
“Alright, I understand,” nodded Meredith.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Zoey left, Meredith summoned Robert, Bailey, and some of the others.
“I just found out Zoey and Levi are only man and wife in name but are neither in reality,” said Meredith.
“Mom, you can’t possibly mean that…” Bailey trailed off. Everyone understood what she meant.
“Yes, that’s right! I want them to divorce and for Zoey to remarry!” exclaimed Meredith truthfully.
Bailey, Pamela, and everyone else present raised their hands in agreement. “They should have divorced ages ago.
Levi is obviously unworthy of Zoey! What a joke!”
“Yeah, we don’t like Levi. He’s incompetent and has a fiery temper!”
Meredith nodded and continued, “Well, I don’t like him either. Before this, I couldn’t interfere because she wasn’t a
member of the family. But things are different now. She’s an important part of the Black family, and I can’t let this
slide. She needs to divorce him, and I will find her suitable in-laws!”
“Yes, Zoey is growing as a person, and Levi will only hold her back,” echoed Robert.
“How about this? To prove that Zoey is still untouched, you will need to take her to the hospital for a comprehensive
check-up tomorrow. I won’t be at ease until I see the report!” ordered Meredith.
