Female Novel
Chapter 1570
Tyler glanced at his watch and asked Zoey, “How much time do you need?”
“Just ten minutes.”
The two headed to a quiet private room. Zoey sat up straight, her posture at odds with the bruise on
her face.
There was something about her that made Tyler intuitively feel she wasn't as fragile as she appeared.
Maybe it was only in the face of Fitch that her backbone seemed to melt away. But that wasn't for him
to ponder. Love was a battlefield, and the first to surrender handed the other the weapons to wound.
“Tyler, I need to know about the Miller family. Carol is a friend of Ms. Pennyfeather, and I'm a bit
worried. I reached out to her today, but she kept saying everything was fine. Yet, the media has been
buzzing all day. Has her father really been locked up?”
While asking the question, Zoey had a hunch that the media reports were true - that Carol's father was
indeed behind bars. What was crucial now, however, was understanding what role Felix played in this.
If the president of the Miller Group was sent to the slammer by Felix himself, and he still insisted on
marrying Carol now, what was his endgame?novelbin
Was Carol being coerced? It was hard to picture a high-society girl like Carol from the Miller Group
being forced into marriage.
Since Carol was tight-lipped about the whole affair, Zoey had no choice but to seek the truth herself.
Tyler raised an eyebrow, surprised by Zoey's line of inquiry, “The Miller family, huh? Yeah, they've
collapsed this time. But who's to blame? Carol was love-blind, let the wolf in the door, and gave Felix
the chance.”
Zoey frowned, “Are you saying Felix had ulterior motives from the start? That he deliberately got close
to Carol?”
Tyler cracked a smile, summoned the manager, and ordered a round of drinks. Then he began to
slowly unravel the story.
“My guys looked into it. Years ago, Abner Miller was indeed in a car crash that killed three people - who
happened to be Felix's kin. Carol hid her family's wealth and started dating him, and Felix played the
long game, working multiple jobs. Was that love? Seemed more like playing house. Carol had a
reputation in these circles; the Miller Group is a top-five firm, after all. She used to be so proud, but for
Felix, she convinced her dad to let him intern at the Miller Group, even made some bet. Neither she nor
her mother expected Felix's endgame wasn't Carol - it was the entire Miller Group. He wanted her
mother behind bars. As for Felix's insistence on marrying Carol now, who knows if it's just to humiliate
her.”
Zoey felt a chill. She thought her bad luck ended with Murray, losing years of love and hundreds of
thousands. Now, hundreds of thousands didn't seem so daunting, and her feelings for Murray had long
vanished.
But for Carol, the true heiress, willing to defy her status for being with Felix, it was all deception from
start to finish, even landing her own father in jail.
Moreover, she'd sacrificed the Miller legacy, propelling a nobody like Felix to the Greenfield elite. His
persistence in marrying Carol could only be seen as humiliation.
Tyler poured Zoey a glass of juice, his tone nonchalant.
She didn't know what was happening on Maja's end. Massaging her temples, Zoey sighed, stood up,
and left. Reаd at Dram?nоvеls.coм
Just as she stepped out of the hotel, she spotted Fitch nearby, who was standing by his car, smoking in
the brisk night air. His trench coat fluttered in the wind.
What could Zoey want with Tyler?
