Chapter 3

At this time, someone suddenly tapped her shoulder.

“Yo! Aren’t you the eldest daughter of the Gil family? Why are you here alone at this late hour? Are you making deliveries again?”

Zoe turned around, and she saw several young girls there, all dressed provocatively. Leading them was Steven Anderson’s sister, Katya Anderson.

Since Zoe was a child, Katya Anderson had loved to do everything against her. She never failed to pick a fight with Zoe.

Zoe was not in the mood to deal with her, so she pulled out a few bills from her bag and called for the check.

However, Katya stepped forward and blocked her path.

“Why are you leaving? C’mon, show me. Is it condoms or lube today?”

She reached out to grab Zoe’s bag.

Zoe took a step back, glaring at her with cold eyes.

“Katya Anderson, don’t go overboard!”

“Overboard? Ha-ha…” Katya acted as if she had heard a great joke. “Zoe Gil! Do you think you’re still my brother’s girlfriend? You’re nothing now! How can you still put on such airs?”

Zoe’s jaw tightened expressionlessly.

Katya waved her hand. “You! Go grab her bag!”

“What’s the point of just looking at her bag? Doesn’t she sell adult products? It’s already so late, yet she’s still out making deliveries. I wonder if she’s delivering an item or a person.”

“That’s true, but look at how much of a dead fish she is. No one would want her anyway. Why don’t we just strip her down and check if we can find any evidence? Wouldn’t it help clear your brother’s name?”

Katya’s eyes brightened. “Oh! Let’s do that!”

The girls rubbed their hands together as they advanced, and Zoe paled.

She turned and ran out of the blue. She was so fast, and they could not even catch her.

However, she did drink quite a lot, so she stumbled as she ran without knowing the direction she was heading. After blearily seeing the letters ‘QB’ on the door, she quickly rushed inside.

A loud voice instantly cried out, “What the f*ck!”

There were two people inside. One was smoking, and the other was using the lavatory. He almost peed his pants in shock upon seeing her barge in.

It was also Zoe’s first time seeing something like that, so she was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she realized that she had entered the wrong door and immediately turned red.

“I—’m sorry! I went the wrong way!”

She stumbled and was about to exit, but Katya’s voice sounded from outside.

“Where did she run off to? Where is she?”

“I clearly saw her run over here. Where did she disappear to?”

“She must be in the toilet! Go! Find her!”

Zoe grew slightly pale and looked at the two men opposite her. She had a vague feeling that the smoker looked familiar.

“Misters, may … may I hide here for a while?”

Although it was a difficult request, she had no other choice. She did not want to get caught by Katya.

Henry Han’s face was expressionless. His cold eyes glanced over to Jack Rey, who was hurriedly putting on his pants. “Get out!”

Jack was so frightened that his heart was trembling. He bolted out as if he was granted amnesty.

Zoe felt dizzy and subconsciously tried to reach out to hold something, but her legs suddenly gave out, and she fell forward.

Her head lightened, and she instinctively closed her eyes.

However, the pain she expected never came, and a slender and powerful arm stretched out and scooped her up.

She crashed into the man’s arms, and her already dizzy head became even dizzier. Her body slid down involuntarily.

Henry Han could only throw away the cigarette and hold her up with both hands. He looked at her drunken mess with a frown on his face.

“Zoe Gil, just how much did you drink?”

Zoe grew confused after realizing that he knew her name.

“Do you know me?”

Henry’s eyes were calm. His emotions were barely visible in his expression.

Then, his thin lips pulled up.

“No, I don’t.”

Zoe was carried out of the bar by Henry.

She hugged the man’s neck, and her drunken face flushed slightly. Her eyes were also half-closed. She was so drunk.

Henry placed her on the back seat and then got in himself.

Jack started the engine and asked respectfully, “Where are we headed, Mr. Han?”

“Han Mansion.”

“Yes, Mr. Han!”

As the car drove along the silent avenue late at night, Zoe was so drunk that she pressed her head against the window with her eyes closed. She did not even have the strength to think.

One characteristic she had when she was drunk was that she never made any fuss or noise. She only went to sleep.

This led to the result of her not even noticing her own situation, let alone realizing that there was a man beside her.

Her consciousness was groggy, and her mind was completely hazy. There were also faint hints of pain that usually accompanied drinking.

At that moment, the phone in her bag buzzed.

She frowned and rummaged in her bag for a while before finally pulling the phone out and answering the call.

“Hello?”

“Zoe Gil, I heard from Katya that you left City V with a man?”

It was Steven Anderson.

She opened her eyes. Her hazy eyes glowed with a layer of mist. “What is it? She snitched on you?”

Steven’s tone was cold and heavy. “I know that I let you down today, but you shouldn’t defile yourself because of this. What kind of place do you think a bar is? How could you just….”

Zoe was not in the mood to listen to him and interrupted him impatiently. “What’s your point?”

“Where are you now? I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

“Did Annie allow you to do that?”

“Annie isn’t as bad as you think she is. She has always thought of you as her real sister. If anything happened to you, she would be the most heartbroken person.”

Zoe snorted in laughter.

This was the first time she realized that there were such shameless people in the world.

Annie was constantly teaching her how shameless one could ever be.

“Then I bet she didn’t tell you that she called me half an hour ago. She bragged about how she finally stole my boyfriend and even used the child in her belly to prove her point!”

Without even thinking about it, Steven said, “That’s impossible!”

Zoe laughed, thinking it was funny.

Steven took a deep breath. His tone gradually grew impatient.

“Zoe, what exactly do you want? Annie has never said a bad word about you. After she found out that you were at the bar, she asked me to call you right away. She’s worried about you, but what about you? You repeatedly accuse her maliciously. I admit that we did something wrong, but are you completely in the right?”

“You constantly bully her and take advantage of your better family background. Every time I ask you to accompany me to some social gathering, you make all sorts of excuses. I told you to give up your store, but you gave me a bullsh*t excuse and said that all jobs were equal?”

“Zoe, I’m someone with status, and I care

about my reputation. I can’t let people know that my girlfriend is selling sex products, right?!”

“You only ever think about yourself and give no regard to my feelings at all, and you’re still blaming us even now?”

Zoe trembled with anger.

She never thought that Steven would think of her this way.

Did she bully Annie?

Was she unwilling to go to social functions with him?

Did she disgrace him by selling sex products?

Her eyes turned red for a moment. Then, she suddenly laughed in a low voice. She laughed at the irony of it all.

“So that’s what you thought! That’s great! Remember what you said today! I won’t ever forgive you. Sooner or later, I’ll make you regret

it!”

Then, she hung up the phone.

The car was plunged into a strange silence.

Zoe leaned weakly over the car window. She was watching the night view flash by, and the rims of her eyes were red.

What Steven had said was still lingering in her ears, but now she just found them ridiculous.

She was not the weak type. She fought back when she could bear no more. But in the eyes of Steven, she was the one who was bullying.

She was driven out of the Gil family, and everyone across the city knew that she was the abandoned daughter of the family.

She did not want to make things difficult for him and could only avoid showing up in public. But in the eyes of Steven, it became her reluctance to go to social parties with him.

As for her adult product business?

Were it not for what the Gil family had done to her, were it not for the selfishness and biases of the Gil family, would she end up like this?

And all of these ended up being her own faults?

Zoe closed her eyes, feeling everything was so ridiculous.

Suddenly, a man’s voice suddenly came up to her, “Is it worth it? You are so sad for such a crab.”

She froze a little and looked over. In her now blurred vision, she saw a man sitting right there, cool and noble. His back was straight, and his eyes were cold. Only then did it come to her mind that she had gotten into a car with a man, and this man had helped her in the bar just now.

Knowing that there was someone next to her, she could only try to get herself together and wipe off the tears on her face, “You must be mistaken. I’m not.”

Steven raised his eyebrows, and his stare fell on her eyes, red but still beautiful.

Zoe explained, “Do you know what you should do when an investment fails?”

“What?”

“Cut it loose and stop the loss.”

These gentle words from his thin lips made her heart tremble.

She looked over and saw his towering body. The dim light of the street cast a layer of shadow on the side of his chiseled face, and a cool and noble aura could have seemed from his whole being.

She sure had seen good-looking men, and Steven was one of them.

However, Steven was far behind the man standing in front of her at the moment.

No matter how bright a star could shine, it could never be compared with the moon and the sun. The man in front of her was dazzling. He was like an eagle flying freely above even heaven, with unparalleled nobility.

Not to mention his face. Such a gorgeous face was enough to make just any woman scream.

Suddenly, a seemingly absurd thought flashed across her mind…

Staring at the side of his delicate face, she gulped, “I see.”
