The car stopped less than an inch away from Yvette. Her pupils constricted a little, but she remained calm. There were surveillance cameras, and she didn’t believe that Gemma would dare to do anything to her in public. Gemma looked at the beautiful and calm woman in front of her. If it weren’t for Zoey, she would’ve actually pitied Yvette.
“Are you really going to go against my daughter?” she asked.
Yvette said honestly, “There’s nothing going on between Jeremiah and me. Not now, not ever.”
She had decided to be with Xavier, so why would she accept Jeremiah? Besides, even if she didn’t end up with Xavier, she still wouldn’t be with Jeremiah. After all, she had a few kids.
“I hope that’s the case.”
Then, Gemma told her driver to drive away. As she looked at Yvette in the rearview mirror, she couldn’t help lighting up a cigarette. She wasn’t sure if Yvette was an honest woman or if she was pretending. Gemma called Shannon to tell her about something.
…
Later that night, Shannon invited Zoey back to stay at Lane Mansion. Zoey knew Gemma had some cards up her sleeves; even the great Shannon had to listen to her.
Zoey called Gemma and said, “Thanks, Mom. You’re awesome.”
The latter smiled. “I’ve already given Yvette a warning. From what I could see, I don’t think she’ll dare to have any funny ideas about Jeremiah again.”
Hearing that Gemma only warned Yvette, Zoey was slightly upset. “Mom, did you get tricked by her innocent act? I’m telling you, she’s a two-faced bitch. She also told me that she had nothing to do with Jeremiah previously. However, she met up with him shortly after that.”
While lighting her cigarette, Gemma raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing Zoey add fuel to the fire. “Really? Is she really that devious?”
“Yeah. Why else would I be tricked by her?”
As a mother, Gemma would
naturally choose to believe her own daughter. “Don’t worry. I’ll stay in Tirion for now and accompany you. Let’s see who’s bold enough to bully yout.”

“Alright,” said Zoey. With Gemma in Tirion, there was nothing for her to be afraid of anymore.
That night, she packed up her belongings and moved to Lane Mansion. When Jeremiah returned and saw her in the house, he couldn’t help being puzzled. “Why are you here?”
Zoey felt embarrassed in front of him since she had been humiliated previously. “Madam Shannon invited me over,” she softly said.
Shannon came down from upstairs.
“Jerry, you’re already engaged to Zoey, so it’s time to improve your relationship. What’s a better way to do that than staying together?”

Since she had learned about Noah’s existence, she had been over the moon. She really hoped that Jeremiah and Zoey could get
pregnant soon as well and give birth to a few children for her.
So, when Gemma had contacted her, she had immediately agreed to let Zoey come over.
When Jeremiah heard that, he didn’t agree or disagree with what she had said. “I still have work to do, so please excuse me.”
Then, he headed to the study upstairs.
Zoey’s eyes flashed with disappointment. Previously, she had only cared about his identity. However, she really had fallen in love with him at that moment. He was gentle, dashing, and also the heir of the Lane family. In fact, he was as great as Xavier.
“Don’t think too much about it, Zoey. That son of mine has never been in a relationship before, so you’ll need to show him the ropes,” Shannon said, comforting her. When Zoey heard that, she pretended to be surprised. “Has Jerry really never been in a relationship before, Madam Shannon? But from what I’ve heard…” She stopped saying her sentence halfway through on purpose so that Shannon would be curious.
