Chapter 519
Zion’s voice was icy. “Answer the question properly.”

“Zion, I’m warning you, you’re now at a prison. If you dare to hurt me, that’s against the Ln-”
Before Philipcould finish, Zion tightened his grip, making Philip feel like his shoulder bones were about to shatter. Philip grimaced in pain and shouted, “Help…help! Somebody help!”
Zion’s tone was menacing. “There are no surveillance cameras here. No one will come in without my orders. No one will save you. But don’t worry, I’ll cover your medical bills.”
Seeing the cold glint in Zion’s eyes, Philip gave up resisting completely.
Marve spoke up, “I want to know the secret behind the Scott family’s memorial hall”
Hearing this, Philip hesitated. “11only heard bits and pieces about what’s hidden in that memorial hall. I heard that there were valuable items there.
“To cover my debts, I had no choice but to steal Patrick’s keys. That’s when I overheard him saying he was going to kick me out. I was so angry, I left”
Philip rubbed his temples wearily. “I searched the entire memorial hall and found nothing valuable. I felt I had been fooled and it made me even angrier.
“I knew how important the key was to Patrick, so I tried to use it as leverage. But Patrick wasn’t fazed. In a fit of rage, I planned that car accident.”
After hearing the whole truth, Maeve was completely disillusioned with Philip. She turned to Zion and said, “Zee, we can gor
Zion released Philp. As Mave turned to leave, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Philip. “I think my dad kicking you out wasn’t really about cutting ties with you.
“He knew the people who got you into gambling debt were trying to bring down the entire Scott family. By kicking you out, those people would realize you had no value to them.”
Hearing Meeve’s words, Philip didn’t lift his head, but a glimmer of clarity seemed to light up his cloudy gaze. He didn’t want to admit his foolishness, but he fell into deep thought
at that moment
Outside the room, Richard, who had been standing guard, saw them coming out and asked, “Are you guys done?”
Marve nodded. “Thank you for arranging this, Mr. Carter.”
“Not at all. Glad to be of help”
Richard smiled and then turned to Zion “Mr. Spencer, the car is ready. We’ll take you both back now,
“Good”
Zion stayed close to Maeve, and Richard followed behind them. One of the prison guards whispered to Richard, “Mr. Carter, isn’t Ms. Scott actually Mrs. Brooks? Why is she so close to Mr. Spencer?”
“Shush! Shut up! Don’t ask what you shouldn’t!” Hearing this, the guard quickly covered his mouth.
Just then, Zion seemed to hear the commotion behind them, and he quickly wrapped his arm around Maeve’s waist.
Marke glanced down at Zion’s hand around her waist and frowned. “What are you doing?
“Nothing I just didn’t want you to fall.”
