Gave Stepsister A Slap In The Face, I Married A Billionaire

When they looked up, they saw Steven's father, Michael Anderson, lead Steven Anderson and Annie Gil out of the interrogation room at the end of the corridor.

Michael did not look pleased with all, and neither did Steven and Annie.

Annie clung onto Steven's arm, and her small face twisted as if she was enduring all kinds of hardships silently. Her eyes were rimmed red with tears, and she looked delicate and pitiful.

The group of people suddenly rushed forward, full of concern. "Annie! Are you alright?"

Annie shook her head and said in a muffled voice, "I'm fine."

Then, she looked up and stared at the person standing behind the crowd.

"Zoe."

She called out softly as she walked forward, looking at Zoe guiltily and weakly.

"I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to come… Steven and I… We didn't mean it, so please forgive us!"

Zoe looked at her coldly, her face expressionless.

Michael Anderson also sighed and stepped forward. "The Anderson family is at fault here, but we can't change what's already happened. Whatever compensation you want, just say it. We will definitely satisfy you."

Zoe sneered. "Compensation? Are you trying to just dismiss me with money?"

Michael's expression twisted as a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

He glared at Steven and thundered, "You useless bastard! You caused this, so get over here and explain yourself right now!"

Steven glanced at Zoe with his face full of unwillingness, but he finally walked forward under his father's intimidation.

"Zoe, we're not suitable for each other. Let's annul our engagement!"

Zoe was shocked.

She felt like her heart had been cut open by a dull knife. It overflowed with pain.

Although she already knew the outcome, she could not help but feel upset the moment she heard his words. A chill rose in her heart.

She looked at the man in front of her. Her lips curled as her eyes started turning red.

"Steven, how long have we been together?"

"Six years."

'Six years? Hah!

'Who would have thought that we would spend six years with each other just to end up like this?'

She caught him in bed with another woman, yet there was no guilt, no attempt in his heart to redeem himself, and there was not even an apology. All he had to say was a cold 'we're not suitable for each other.'

Something broke in the bottom of her heart. She lifted her lips sarcastically and said without hesitation, "Alright, I agree."

Steven was startled, a little surprised by her decisiveness.

He frowned and looked at her suspiciously. "Are you serious?"

"We can make the annual engagement, but I want the three companies Anderson Group just bought as compensation!"

"What? Are you insane?!"

Jaden roared before Michael and Steven could answer.

Zoe glanced at him coldly. "We aren't even married yet, but you're already so considerate of them. Where is your manner?"

"You!"

"Alright."

Michael raised a hand and interrupted Jaden's words. He looked at Zoe calmly.

"I'll agree to your conditions. When you bring your half of the marriage agreement to me, I'll transfer the companies over to you."

"It's a deal."

As Michael led the lawyer away, Jaden glared at Zoe and huffed in anger. Then, he and Helen also help the old Mrs. Gil away.

The only people left in the corridor were Zoe, Steven, and Annie.

Zoe did not want to involve herself with them anymore, so she turned to leave with a cold face, but Annie's anxious voice suddenly called from behind her.

"Sister!"

The next second, someone blocked her path.

Annie's pale face was covered in tears. She grabbed Zoe's arm and trilled, "Sister, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to fall in love with Steven. Please don't be mad at us. It's all my fault. If you want to yell or hit me, just do it!"

When Zoe saw the weak and helpless appearance Annie had put on, she only felt extremely disgusted.

She shrugged Annie off coldly. "Don't touch me!"

Zoe did not use much strength, but Annie suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground with a scream.

"Annie!"

Steven shot forward like an arrow to help her up. He growled at Zoe in anger. "Zoe! What are you doing?"

"I didn't…."

Zoe's expression shifted as she subconsciously tried to explain herself, but Annie interrupted her.

"Steven, don't blame Zoe. It's my fault, to begin with, that I have fallen in love with you. Now she just pushed me, but how could I say she's wrong even if she wants to scold me, slap me, or kick me?"

Zoe's pupils dilated. The shock was written all over her face.

She raised her head to see Steven's disappointed eyes.

"I didn't think that you would be like this. This is my fault, so you should vent your anger on me! Why did you even hurt Annie?"

Zoe opened her mouth, but her explanation suddenly choked on her throat as if it was a thorn stabbing her.

"You think that … I pushed her?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. Do you think I can

be wrong? I've always thought you just had a cold heart, but you were still kind. Only today do I realize that you're ruthless and vengeful. After all these years, I finally can see who you really are!"

Zoe stood still, unable to believe her own ears.

She turned to look at Annie and saw a hint of malice and pride flashing across her eyes.

She felt a chill covering her heart.

Then, she let out a light sneer. Her smile was full of irony.

"Steven Anderson, only today do I realize how stupid you are!"

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing. Aren't you two in love? Alright! I'll give you my blessings. Just no one would eat from a bowl that has been filled with sh*t before, no matter how hard you have washed it, right?"

Steven's expression changed. He did not expect that this cool and well-mannered woman would use such vulgar words.

His face darkened. "Zoe! Don't push your luck!"

Zoe sneered at him. Her smile was indifferent and cold.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped her hand that had just been touched by Annie. Finally, she said in an indifferent tone.

"Well! I don't have time to waste here with you. From now on, please just take this canary beside you and get out of my sight! I wish you both all the best…."

Her eyes wandered as a cold mockery flashed in them, and she laughed. "Hah! A b*tch and a dog! You are really quite a match, after all!"

Then, she turned around and left without giving them any chance to speak.

Steven's face turned livid with anger. "What did you say? Stop right there…."

"Steven…"

At that moment, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm. Annie, with her hand on her stomach, looked so pale. "Steven, my stomach hurts."

Steven's expression changed. "Annie, what's wrong?"

"I don't know…."

A crimson stream of blood trailed down Annie's leg.

Steven's eyes widened, and he shook fiercely.

"Don't be afraid, and I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Steven carried Annie to the hospital.

Zoe sat in her car and watched as their car left. She smiled sarcastically.

Instead of going home, she drove to the Pinkyrose Hotel.

On the first floor of the hotel was a large bar. The hall was filled and strewn with people who had come here to spend their money and kill time.

She leaned against the counter and downed glass after glass.

She was not a person who liked to drown her sorrows in alcohol, but this time, it seemed that nothing but alcohol could temporarily numb the pain she was feeling inside.

She could pretend to be indifferent and generous in front of Steven and Annie.

However, only she knew how crushed her heart really was.

Their relationship of six years is now lost to a single lie. While she was determined to grow old together with him, he was rolling in the sheets with another woman.

She just felt it ironic whenever she thought about it!

Zoe raised her cup and poured herself another glass.

She had always been a good drinker, but even she was a little drunk at the moment.

The phone in her bag suddenly vibrated.

She fished out her phone with hazy eyes and answered the call.

"Who is this?"

"Zoe, you lost again!"

It was Annie

.

Zoe curled her lips in mockery.

"Did you call me just to tell me how proud you are?"

Annie laughed in satisfaction.

"Zoe, did you know that I'm pregnant?"

Zoe's expression turned cold.

She looked at the people on the dance floor and said coldly, "Why are you telling me that? I'm not the one who f*cked you."

"It was Steven. He just told me that he'd marry me immediately. You've been with him for six years, but he has never touched you before. Sure, you can say that he only has platonic love for you, but to put it bluntly, it's simply because you didn't interest him sexually, and just the sight of you makes him nauseous."

Zoe's hands clenched into fists.

"You know? As long as we're together, we'll do it every day. He said he had never felt so relaxed and happy with anyone as he was with me. He said you're as cold as a corpse, not interesting at all."

"Other women know how to be gentle and sensible to serve men, but if you peel off your skin and enter the crowd, you'd just be a man! What's the difference between being with you and being gay?"

Zoe's fists tightened.

It was as if her heart was being pulled apart. The pain was excruciating.

She took a deep breath and scoffed.

"Annie Gil, here I thought you were quite something. Is that all you wanted to say?"

"Sister, you can tell me if you're angry. I won't laugh at you."

"Why would I be angry? After all, you're the

one treating garbage I threw away like its treasure. A cloth you've used to wipe your *ss will still smell foul even if it's washed. Won't you feel disgusted when you wipe your face with it?"

"You!"

"Anyway! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I'm warning you now. Don't try to provoke me again. You can't afford the consequences if you do piss me off!"

Then, she hung up the call.

It was not that she could not feel the pain in her heart.

Although she did not admit it verbally, Annie's words undoubtedly pierced her heart.

She still remembered what Steven had said when he was wooing her.

He said that he liked how clean and clear she

was. He liked her coldness and indifference, which was like a snowy mountain flower that could only be viewed from afar and not tainted. It made him want to protect her, he said.

The best love should be platonic. Detached from the spiritual love of the flesh, it was the purest kind of love.

However, the reality was that he went behind her back to sleep with Annie, and now they even had a child.

A great feeling of irony rose from the bottom of her heart. She raised her hands to cover her face as her eyes started to sting.
