Chapter 139
Chapter 139
Monica had returned to China for several months. Leon originally thought that he could handle the
matter of the factory well in three or five days, and go back to China to accompany her after that.
Unexpectedly, this matter became more and more serious. Later, he was reported to the court by the
workers and could not leave America at all.
During these days when Monica was in China, Roland had called Leon to tell him all kinds of troubles
that Monica had gone through. Leon was concerned about Monica every day. He only hated himself for
being unable to accompany her and take care of her. Fortunately, Roland had been taking care of
Monica on behalf of him, which made him feel a little relieved.
Now that the things in the factory had been basically settled, he planned to go back to China in a few
days.
After work this day, Leon did not go home. Instead, he came to a villa in the suburbs.
He bought this villa last year, and he intended to let Monica live here with Coco. Because it was located
in the suburbs, the air here was very fresh. It was the most suitable place for Coco to recuperate.
When Leon bought this villa, Old Mrs. Gu had not yet agreed to his marriage to Monica. He thought
that he and Monica would not be together in this life. He bought this villa because he didn't want
Monica and Coco to be homeless. Now that Old Mrs. Gu had agreed to their marriage, he was so
happy that he immediately re-decorated the villa. He planned to live here with Monica in the future.
Now, the villa had been renovated, and the gardener had planted a lot of flowers in the garden. There
was a large area planted with roses. Leon planned to propose to Monica in the Rose Garden when she
came back.
This day, Leon came here for those roses. He also wanted to say goodbye to Mary, who had been
helping him to take care of the garden.
A few months ago, after Mary was rescued by Leon, she stayed in the hospital for nearly a month. Her
wound was healed, but her memory still hadn't come back.
When Mary was found by Leon, her wallet and ID card were already taken away. There was nothing to
prove her identity, and she couldn't remember who she was, so Leon had to take her out of the hospital
and temporarily let her live in his company's staff dormitory.
During a chat, Leon learned that Mary liked flowers and plants very much. Thinking that he had planted
a lot of flowers and plants in the villa in the suburbs, he planned to let Mary help his gardener take care
of his garden. He also hoped that the environment could help her restore her memory as soon as
possible.
When Leon came to the villa, Mary was watering flowers in the garden.
The sunset rays shone on the ground, and the evening glow made the sky colorful. Mary was wearing
a long pale pink dress and standing amidst the beautiful flowers with her dark hair. The sunlight gilded
the ends of her hair and the train of her dress, as if she were a fairy in a painting.
Seething this, Leon, who was standing outside the fence, was stunned. He didn't regain consciousness
for a full minute.
If he hadn't known clearly that Monica was in China at the moment, he would have thought that the
fairylike beautiful woman in the flowers was her.
This woman who had lost her memory looked so much like Monica!
While he was in a daze, Mary raised her head and smiled at him. "Leon, you're here!"
"Yes." Leon came back to his senses, pushed open the door and walked in.
Mary put down the flower shower and came forward to welcome him. She pointed at a rose tree and
said with a smile, "Leon, you're here at the right time. The rainbow roses are blooming. How beautiful
they are!"
Leon looked in the direction she pointed and saw two flowers blooming from the rose tree. The colors
of the flowers were very strange. They were made up of seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan,
blue and purple.
These roses were called rainbow roses, also known as seven- colored roses and happy roses. The
language of them were romance, dream, happiness, gorgeousness and nobleness. Besides being
colorful, these roses gave off a sweet smell. This kind of rose was very rare. Leon asked the gardener
to cultivate it with great care, to express his deep affection for Monica.
Seeing the peculiar color of the rainbow roses, Leon excitedly went over and bent down to smell it.
"Sure enough, this kind of rose is really too beautiful."
Mary looked at Leon's handsome face with a smile and suddenly felt a little disappointed. She had
heard from the gardener that Leon had a fiancee. He planted rainbow roses to express his love for his
fiancee. She really envied that woman. Leon was handsome, smart, kind and brilliant. How happy it
would be to marry him!
"Jadey, thank you." Leon straightened up and thanked Mary gratefully. Leon named her Jadey because
she had a jade pendant.
"Leon, you are too polite. These flowers were raised by the gardener with great efforts. I just helped to
water them." Mary blushed slightly and felt embarrassed for her gaffe just now.
How could Leon know what Mary was thinking? He thought she was shy. He just praised her and she
blushed. He had a good impression of her. It was rare to find such shy girls now.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but say, "Jadey, you look like a woman."
"Really? Who is she?"
"She is my fiancee." At the mention of Monica, Leon was happy and his eyes were full of smiles.
Mary was surprised. "Your fiancee?"
Leon smiled and said, "Yes, her name is Monica. Your eyes and mouth look a lot like hers, but she's
probably a few years older than you."
"Monica?" Mary frowned and felt that she had heard of this name somewhere.
Leon noticed Mary's abnormality and hurriedly asked, "Jadey, what's wrong with you?"
Mary hesitated for a moment and said, "I seem to be very familiar with this name."
"It's not surprising. The gardener and others must have mentioned her to you!" Leon did not believe
that Mary would know Monica at all. He thought that it was the servants in the villa who told her about
Monica. All the servants here used to work for the Gu family. It was not surprising that they knew
Monica and mentioned her to Mary.
"Maybe." Mary knew that the people here had never mentioned the name of Leon's fiancee to her, but
she didn't think too much, because she thought that she couldn't have known Leon's fiancee.
After enjoying the roses, Leon helped Mary to water the flowers. Then, the two of them went into the
house and sat down on the sofa. Leon told Mary that he was going back to China. He took out his
mobile phone and said to her, "Jadey, sit down. I'll take photos for you."
Mary felt strange. "Why?"
"I'm going to let my friend investigate your identity. In addition, I'm going back to China soon, so I can
also investigate it myself." These days Leon was too busy with the factory to help Mary find out who
she was. He planned to take Mary's photos to Roland and ask for his help.
Mary was overjoyed and hurriedly adjusted her hair and clothes. She sat upright and asked Leon to
take photos for her.
Leon raised his mobile phone and took two photos of her. After chatting for a while, he went back to Gu
Residence.
After returning home, Leon decided to make a phone call to Monica and tell her that he was going back
to China.
Monica sounded a little tired. Leon immediately noticed it. "Moni, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Monica smiled. "No, I'm fine."
"You have to take care of yourself. You are pregnant and you have to take care of Coco. Don't be too
tired." Thinking of how hard she was, Leon felt distressed. He reminded her to look after herself before
hanging up the phone.
Leon was still a little worried. He immediately called Roland and asked about Monica's condition.
"I was going to call you!" Roland said in a serious tone. He told Leon what happened to Jenny and how
Lassie blamed Monica.
Leon was shocked. "How could this be? Moni wouldn't do that."
Roland said, "I also believe in Monica's character. She is kind-hearted. No matter how much she hates
a person, she won't do such a cruel thing. She must have been framed."
"Does Quarmy believe her?" Quarmy was filial, so Leon was really worried that he would vent his anger
on Monica.
"Quarmy and Monica used to be a couple. He knows Monica better than us, so he naturally trusts her."
Although Roland had never had a good impression of Quarmy, he felt relieved after knowing how much
Quarmy trusted Monica. He didn't hate Quarmy as much as before.
Leon agreed. If Quarmy didn't know Monica well, he didn't deserve to be her husband at all.
Roland added, "Quarmy and I are now investigating this matte. We're making progress on this."
Leon breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I will return to China in a few days. Let's prove Monica's
innocence together."
"Okay, let's talk about it when you come back."
At dinner time, Leon told Old Mrs. Gu that he was going back to China. He also told her that Jenny was
injured and in a coma. He was afraid that Old Mrs. Gu would be worried, so he did not mention that
Monica had been framed.
"Alas, what a pity." Old Mrs. Gu had always been merciful. Although she hated Jenny fro robbing Coco,
she immediately forgave her and felt deeply sympathetic to her after hearing what happened to her.
Mandy, who was sitting next to her, said angrily, "Hum, what's so pitiful about that kind of person? Back
then, she treated Monica in such a way and took Coco away regardless of his illness. She deserves it."
Old Mrs. Gu glared at her discontentedly. "What are you talking about? She's so miserable now, but
you're still gloating."
"Grandma, I said it for Monica!" Mandy muttered and did not dare to say anything else. In fact, she had
already heard about this from Madrigal. She also knew that Quarmywas suspicious of Monica and was
resentful of her for it. Leon's eagerness to return to China must be because of this.
Mandy was really happy when she heard from Madrigal that Quarmy and Monica had fallen out. She
hoped that Quarmy would never forgive Monica. However, she also worried. She hated Monica so
much that she wanted to kill Monica. Naturally, she didn't want Monica to be with Quarmy. However, if
Monica and Quarmy turned against each other, Monica would probably go back to Leon, which made
Mandy even more difficult to accept.
Leon was going back to China for Monica, which made Mandy even more anxious. The dinner was
tasteless to her because she had been thinking about how to prevent Leon from leaving.
Because of this, Mandy had no appetite. After eating for a while, she put down her bowl and sat on the
sofa to think. While she was thinking, Leon's mobile phone on the tea table suddenly rang. Mandy
picked it up and saw the name "Jadey". When she wanted to ask Leon who Jadey was, Leon got up
and took his phone away. Mandy was curious, so she listened carefully. She heard Leon call that
person Jadey in a gentle voice. Then he said, "Oh, keep it for me. I'll go get it when I come back. Thank
you." After that, Leon hung up.
Mandy deliberately asked, "Leon, who called you? Why do I feel that it's a woman? Don't tell me you
cheated on Monica." Leon hurriedly explained, "What are you talking about? I left my watch at the villa
in the suburbs when I went there to take care of the roses. The gardener found it and called me."
"Leon, don't lie to me." Mandy smiled and said, "I saw the name of the person. I don't believe that you
would save a servant's number."
"Jadey is not a servant. She is helping me take care of the flowers and plants in that villa. That's why I
said she was a gardener."
"Who is Jadey?" Old Mrs. Gu put down the bowl and chopsticks and came over. Hearing what Leon
said, she became interested.
Leon had to tell them the story of saving Mary.
Old Mrs. Gu smiled gratifiedly and said, "My grandson is really kind. Speaking of which, this girl is
really pitiful. You should help her find out her identity as soon as possible so that she can restore her
memory."
Leon smiled and said, "Grandma, that's what I'm going to do."
These days, Old Mrs. Gu's attitude towards Mandy had become much colder. Mandy was trying her
best to please Old Mrs. Gu. Hearing that, she immediately said, "Leon, give me Jadey's photos. I'll let
my friends ask around to see if anyone knows her."
Old Mrs. Gu gave Mandy a look of approval and said, "Yes, Mandy knows a lot of people. You can let
her help you."
Leon's face darkened. "No, we can't post Jadey's photos online." "Why? It's the easiest way." Mandy
was confused.
Leon said, "Have you forgotten what I just said? When I found Jadey, she was injured. Judging from
the situation at that time, it seemed that she was being hunted. If I post her photos online, it may be
noticed by her enemy. I can only let people investigate this matter secretly."
Mandy nodded. "You're right. How about this? My good friend Linda's husband is a private detective.
Give me Jadey's photos and I'll let him investigate her secretly."
"Well, that's a good idea. I thank you for Jadey." Leon said as he took out his mobile phone and sent
Mary's photos to Mandy.
Mandy picked up her phone and looked at it. She couldn't help but cry out in surprise, "Leon, why does
this Jadey look so similar to Monica?"
Leon smiled and said, "Yes, I feel the same way. If I didn't know that Monica didn't have a sister, I
would have thought Jadey was her sister."
"Really? Let me have a look." Old Mrs. Gu leaned forward to take a closer look at Jadey's photo. She
was also amazed. "It's true. This girl looks even younger and prettier than Moni. She must be very
gentle."
Leon smiled and said, "Grandma is really awesome. You can guess her character just by looking at her
photo. Jadey is really quiet and diligent. The servants like her very much."
Hearing that, Mandy immediately came up with an idea. "Leon, why don't we invite her to our house for
dinner? It's a pity that a girl in a foreign land has gone through so much hardship. Besides, Grandma is
very hospitable. She will be happier when there are guests at home."
Old Mrs. Gu agreed. "That's right. The house is so big, but there are so few people. We'll have more
fun when we have visitors. Why don't you bring Jadey back?"
"Okay, I'll ask someone to pick her up tomorrow." Leon didn't refuse. Mary was gentle and well-
behaved. Old Mrs. Gu would definitely like her. If she could come to accompany Old Mrs. Gu often, Old
Mrs. Gu would be very happy. Moreover, he was going back to China soon and might not be able to
come back for a while. Now Old Mrs. Gu disliked Mandy very much. If Mary could take care of Old Mrs.
Gu on behalf of Mandy, he would be relieved.
Leon decided to go to the villa in person and discuss it with Mary. If she was willing, he would let her
move to Gu Residence. However, he never expected that his decision changed not only his relationship
with Monica, but also his life.
Lassie and her son had a hard time after their dream of doing business was shattered. In the past, they
had millions of dollars, and Ted often went to night clubs with his friends.
At that time, Ted was surrounded by a group of people. His friends respected him and those w*ores
loved him. After he went bankrupt, his friends who used to flatter him every day didn't talk to him
anymore. Occasionally, when Ted saw them on the street, they would pretend not to see him. Ted
finally knew what the fickleness of the world was. Fortunately, not everyone abandoned him. Sam, who
encouraged him to do business before, treated him the same as before. Ted really felt that Sam was a
good friend.
In the past, Ted had bullied Sam a lot, but Sam was not mad at him at all. He still respected Ted very
much.
Ted looked down upon Sam, who was ugly and coward. Sam was not good at fighting or talking, so Ted
believed that he was never going to be great.
Although Ted looked down on Sam, he still wanted Sam to be his follower. After all, with Sam around,
he would feel superior.
Of course, Sam was not a good-for-nothing. His girlfriend was a pretty girl with big boobs. This was
Sam's only advantage.
At every party, everyone would look at his girlfriend. Her boobs were really fu*king tempting. Ted was
actually not interested in women with big boobs. He didn't know what was going on either. Probably
due to a lack of love since childhood, he had always liked older women. Sleeping with older women
could give him a different kind of feeling.
Therefore, Ted had been dating mature women. However, although mature women could satisfy his
desire, they would embarrass him. Therefore, Ted just wanted to have fun with the older women in
private. He had been single when partying with friends.
He had a lot of money at that time, and often bragged that he had something to do with the mayor.
During parties, he was often surrounded by others. Both men and women were flattering him. Of
course, Sam's big-breasted girlfriend was among them.
Sam loved his girlfriend very much, but his girlfriend didn't care so much about him. When she heard
that Ted was a single rich man who worked for the mayor, she decided to seduce Ted.
Someone told Ted in private that Sam's girlfriend had fallen in love with him. Ted didn't care about it at
first, but later found that she often looked at him with affection.
Everyone was interested in her, but she was only interested in Ted. Men were hypocritical. Although
Ted didn't have much interest in her, he couldn't resist her temptation, so they had sex after getting
drunk.
The woman successfully hooked up with Ted, so she wanted to break up with Sam. However, Sam
refused to break up with her because he deeply loved her.
In order to let Sam give up, the woman deliberately let Sam see her having sex with Ted. When Sam
saw his woman lying naked with Ted, his face darkened and his fists clenched.
Ted was also terrified. Although Sam was not good at fighting, he might do something extreme for his
woman. Ted was afraid that Sam would kill him.
However, it turned out that Sam was really useless. After a moment of anger, he actually laughed and
said to Ted that women were just like clothes. He decided to send his woman to Ted.
Even gangsters knew that they shouldn't have sex with their friends' wives. Ted felt guilty so he did give
Sam a lot of benefits after that.
Probably because he had made up for it, the relationship between him and Sam had not changed. This
time, Ted went bankrupt and others started to get away from him. Only Sam treated him the same as
before. He did not look down on Ted, who was now penniless. Knowing that Ted was having a hard
time, Sam often gave Ted some money and food. It was said that a friend in need was a friend indeed.
Ted increasingly felt that Sam was his good friend.
Sam had his own life so he could not accompany Ted every day. Ted had nothing to do, so he used his
mobile phone to kill time on the Internet every day. Soon, he hooked up with Ada. One of them was a
w*ore and the other was a john. When they talked about what happened to themselves, they began to
pity each other. Ada was cheated by a man, while Ted failed in his business. The two soon hit it off.
Therefore, they decided to meet each other. Ada was afraid that Ted would think she was too old, so
she dressed herself up. Actually, she didn't have to worry at all. Ted didn't dislike her, who was more
than ten years older than him. They fell in love with each other at first sight. Soon, they had sex.
With Ada's company, Ted felt that his life was much better. However, he was too poor. He had to find a
way to earn money immediately.
Ada offered Ted a job at her nightclub. Ted felt ashamed to work at a nightclub, so he refused.
Ada did not force him. She was originally wary of men after being deceived by Black, but for some
reason, she was willing to trust Ted. She had a feeling of closeness to Ted. She told him that she could
earn money to support him. He could rest for a while before he started to work.
Ada's care warmed Ted's heart. Life didn't abandon him completely. It was really a blessing for him to
meet such a confidante in such a down-and-out situation. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Time passed. The relationship between Ted and Ada was getting closer and closer. He even planned to
spend the rest of his life with Ada.
He was just afraid that Lassie would object this. Ada was a w*ore and was also much older than him.
His mother would definitely not let them be together. Now, he still had to rely on his mother, so he had
to hide it from his mother first.
One day, Sam brought wine and food to Ted. He suddenly mentioned Ted's business. "I recently heard
a rumor about your nightclub. I don't know if it's true."
"Go ahead." Ted felt ashamed about being poor, so he didn't go out recently. He stayed at home every
day and didn't know anything about the outside world.
"I heard that your partner had something to do with the closing of your club. He offended a big shot, so
your nightclub was closed."
"What? Who told you that?" Ted didn't believe it. His partner was Yale's friend. Who dared to offend
Yale, the wife of Mayor Jane?
"I heard it from Bert's men." Sam answered.
"Bert? Why haven't I heard of this person?" "You didn't go out recently so you don't know Bert. Bert
came to Jiang City a few days ago. He is from the capital and his father is a high-ranking official. He
committed a crime in the capital and came here to stay out of trouble." Sam explained, "Bert is really a
big shot. He always takes a dozen bodyguards with him and he often goes to the most expensive
nightclub. Quarmy and Director Li of the Public Security Bureau are all polite to him."
Quarmy and Director Li wouldn't be so polite to ordinary people. Ted believed what Sam said. "How do
you know his subordinates?"
"He needs some followers who are familiar with Jiang City. I know the owner of the nightclub he goes
to, so I was recommended to him." Sam explained, "Bert said that Jiang City was a good place. He
wanted to do business here and happened to take a fancy to your nightclub. He is going to reopen the
nightclub, so he found out why the nightclub was shut down before. What a big shot! No wonder he is
from the capital!"
"D*mn, why am I so unlucky? Do you know who my partner has offended?"
"They didn't say that, but they said that Uriah was not your real partner. The real investor was Mayor
Jane's wife. Later, after the nightclub was closed, Mayor Jane got the government to return his wife's
money. You're the only unlucky one who didn't get any money back."
"Is it true?" Ted was so angry that his face darkened.
"That's what they said. I guess it's true. Think about it yourself. Mayor Jane has been an official for so
many years. Can he let his wife suffer losses?"
"So I'm the only one who lost everything?" Ted was very angry. "I can't let this matter go like this!"
"What do you want to do?"
"I have to get my money back."
"How? Mayor Jane is powerful. What about you? How can you get your money back?"
Ted didn't know what to say. Indeed, what could he do now? His money was all from his mother.
Without his mother, he was nothing. It seemed that he had to discuss this matter with his mother.
Ted went to Lassie and told her what Sam said. Lassie felt angry, but she was afraid that her son would
make troubles, so she shook her head and said, "Yale helped me when I was down and out. She did
me a favor. I don't think she will treat us like this. We can't believe rumors easily."
"Now the rumors are spreading outside. Anyway, we are the only ones who suffer losses in this matter.
Since she has got half of the money, she should share it with us. She can't take it on her own."
"Are you stupid?" Lassie glared at her son. "If Yale wanted to share it with us, she would have done it
earlier. How can you ask her for money without evidence now?"
"Doesn't she have something on us?" Ted asked.
"Idiot. It's bad for her, but it's also bad for us. If Quarmy knows that we helped Yale to hurt Jenny, he
won't let us go. Forget it!"
Lassie's words made Ted break out in a cold sweat. Indeed, his mother was Yale's accomplice. If this
matter was exposed, they would die as well. Should he forget it? He was not willing to give up.
In the evening, when Ada came back, Ted told her about this matter. Naturally, he did not mention what
Yale and Lassie did to Jenny. He only told her what Sam said.
Ada also told him, "I also heard this from two guests today."
"So it is true?" Ted was very angry. "D*mn it, my nightclub was closed because of them, but I'm the
unlucky one. It really pisses me off!"
"Yes, how could they do this? Anyway, they should give you half of the money." Ada was also very
interested in the millions of dollars. If Ted could get the money back, she could also get some benefits.
"We have to find a way to get the money back."
"How? They are officials. We can do nothing to them!" Ted sighed.
"We can find a way to secretly deal with them." Ada sneered. She not only heard about Ted being
cheated, but also got another shocking news. The mayor's wife was Flower in the Cat's Alley!
Ada was very familiar with Flower. When Ada was only fourteen or fifteen years old, Flower was really
popular in the Cat's Alley. Many gangsters liked Flower and tried their best to please her. Ada envied
Flower, so she imitated Flower's every word and every move, hoping that she would become as
beautiful and attractive as Flower when she grew up.
The man Ada liked was Uriah, a gangster in the Cat's Alley. Uriah, who was five years older than Ada,
was a big fan of Flower. He often waited for Flower outside her house, but Flower was not very
interested in Uriah. Later, one night, Uriah found that a gangster took Flower to his home. When Uriah
heard Flower and the gangster having sex in the room, he was so angry that he picked up a stone to
smash the window. It was Ada who saved Uriah.
At that time, Ada's brother Jerry was somebody in the Cat's Alley. Naturally, the gangster who had sex
with Flower did not dare to offend Jerry. Uriah was grateful to Ada. After being seduced again, Uriah
had sex with Ada.
Ada got pregnant at the age of 14. At that time, Jerry was very angry. He went around to investigate the
man who made her pregnant. Because Ada refused to say anything, this matter was closed. However,
Uriah was so scared that he went to another city.
Uriah came back after Jerry was sent to prison. Because of this reason, Uriah treated Ada well. Later,
Uriah went to another city and became a truck driver. He still kept in touch with Ada.
One time, Ada went to visit Uriah. Uriah was drunk and told her a secret. Flower asked him to hit
someone with his truck. He said that he did not dare to do this. Ada naturally supported Uriah, so she
persuaded him not to do so.
At that time, Uriah also agreed to not do this thing. Later, she went to that city again for Uriah. However,
she saw him hit a woman in the street with her own eyes.
That woman had lost a lot of blood. It was said that she died after being sent to the hospital. After the
accident, Uriah went back to his place. When he saw Ada, he was shocked. Ada witnessed the whole
thing, so she asked Uriah if he was ordered by Flower. Uriah refused to admit it. It was not until she
threatened to go to the police that Uriah told the truth. At that time, he knelt down and begged her not
to tell anyone about this.
Ada chose to remain silent because she liked Uriah. Later, she learned that Uriah turned himself in and
was sent to prison. Until now, there was still no news about him.
"Do we still have to worry about how to deal with Flower?" Ada told Ted about this matter. She intended
to threaten Yale with it.
This was Yale's crime and it had nothing to do with Lassie. Ted immediately agreed when he heard it.
The two of them wrote an anonymous letter to Yale.
Monica planned to leave the Jane family, but Zoe asked her to live here with Coco for a few more days.
Yale was afraid that Monica would deal with Madrigal, so she went to a private hospital with Madrigal
on the pretext that Madrigal wasn't well. Ted didn't know that, so the letter he sent fell into Zoe's hands.
When Zoe saw that there was no address on the envelope, he felt strange, so he secretly read it. Fie
had planned to seal it after reading it, but he didn't expect that the content of the letter would be so
shocking. Fie was so angry that he suddenly fainted.
Zoe was soon sent to the hospital. When he woke up, he stared blankly at the ceiling. Fie couldn't
believe that Flannah's death was caused by Yale. Zoe hated Yale so much that he really wanted to eat
her alive.
He couldn't deal with Yale openly, and this matter couldn't be exposed. If others knew that his mistress
killed his ex-wife and became his wife, what should he do?
This was not only a matter of reputation, but also a matter of career.
He had worked so hard to get where he was. How could he be willing to give up his career? But he
wouldn't let Yale go. He had to deal with this vicious woman! Zoe thought in his heart. "I have to find a
way to avenge Hannah. I must make Yale live a life worse than death!"
