Sunset Sinking Into the Sea

Theo didn’t expect his hand to be so strong. He was slightly stunned. He wanted to help Zea, but he couldn’t bear to lose face. He put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly.

“Come home quickly.”

Zea looked up at Theo and was about to speak when she saw Amber walk up to the stage from the crowd and hold Theo’s arm.

“Theo, don’t force Zea. Maybe she saw us together and she wanted to fall in love, so she came to this bar to sing and attract other people’s attention.”

Amber’s implication was that Zea came to the bar to seduce men.

Theo’s guilt just now disappeared because of Amber’s words.

“Zea, are you so short of men? You are willing to be shameless and come to the bar? Do you still have any shame?”

Theo’s unpleasant words made Zea want to find a hole to crawl into.

When her parents were alive, she was the apple of their eyes. Now that her parents were gone, Theo's father and mother also never said a harsh word to her.

But what Theo said to her today undoubtedly tore her self-esteem apart.

Amber raised her eyebrows and looked at her with pride in her eyes.

“Zea, I know what you thought about Theo in the past, but now Theo has me by his side. No matter how much you want to attract his attention, it’s useless. You are just his sister.”

Zea felt that her mind exploded with a “boom”.

Those secrets hidden in her heart were just announced in public.

She was embarrassed and ashamed and her eyes unconsciously looked at Theo.

Theo looked at her with disgust, as if he was looking at a dirty thing.

“Amber, stop talking about the past. If she doesn’t want to cooperate, I will send her abroad.”

At this moment, Zea finally understood why Theo avoided her after her 18th birthday.

It turned out that he saw the love she hid in the crystal ball that day.

So, the next day she saw the crystal ball she had carefully prepared in the trash can, it turned out that Theo knew everything and had been rejecting her in his self-righteous way.

In his eyes, her love for him was like garbage.

“Oh my God, the Guzman Family kindly adopted her, but she actually wanted to marry into the Guzman Family. How could she be so shameless!”

“I was wondering why she, an adopted daughter of the Guzman Family, came to sing in a bar. It turned out that she wanted to attract the attention of her brother. She really has no sense of ethical shame.”

“Mr. Guzman already has a girlfriend, but she still pesters him. She is really despicable.”

The discussions under the stage were like knives stabbing Zea’s body, leaving her covered in wounds.

Zea’s face turned blue and red and her eyes were sore from shame and anger. If her friend, Alina, hadn’t arrived in time, she might really not be able to hold on.

Zea didn’t know how she got back home. She was overwhelmed by the collapse and humiliation. She locked herself in the room, cried until her tears dried and sat quietly in front of the window.

It seemed that she had to leave early.

Theo didn’t go home all night, which just saved her the embarrassment of meeting him.

The next day, Zea went to the company to pack up her things. She had already submitted her resignation letter when she agreed to go to Chark with her uncle.

Now that the cooperation had been won, there was no need for her to stay in the company.

The bonus was deposited into her account in full, but it was still more than 838.398 dollars short of 1.396.473 dollars.

Zea remembered that her parents had set up a Zea Fund for her since she was a child and saved a sum of money for her. As long as she came of age, she could withdraw 139.733 dollars every year.

Now she had just come of age for five years.

Zea took the money from the foundation and now she only needed a few 13.973 dollars.

Just when she was in trouble, her uncle called.

“Zea, I have a friend whose grandmother is about to turn 80. He wants you to design a piece of jewelry for him. The design fee is unlimited. You have to go back to Chark anyway. Do you want to consider the next project?” Her uncle asked cautiously.

After the Simmons Family got into trouble, Zea’s uncle had to entrust Zea to the Guzman Family in order to stabilize the Simmons Family’s fragmented business.

So all these years, her uncle had always felt indebted to Zea.

“Okay, uncle, I will take over this project, but I have a request. Can you ask your friend to give me a deposit of 600,000 first?” Zea asked tentatively.

Hearing Zea say this, although her uncle was a little confused, he did not ask directly and agreed to Zea without thinking. “I can give you the money right away. When are you going to come to Chark, I can send someone to pick you up.”

“Tomorrow,” Zea answered softly.

Hearing Zea’s answer, her uncle felt relieved immediately. After hanging up the phone, Zea received a deposit of 600,000 from the uncle.

After collecting the money, Zea immediately looked for someone to buy a blue and white porcelain vase. The vase would not be delivered until the next day and it happened that the vase was delivered and he could leave.

Early the next morning, Zea dragged the suitcase downstairs. As soon as Zea walked to the door, the door was pushed open. Theo stood at the door against the light and his face sank when he saw the suitcase in Zea’s hand. "Where are you going?"

“As you wish, leave the Guzman Family,” Zea said coldly.
