Female Novel
Chapter 1585
Zoey had a sinking feeling she knew who she had crossed, and in this high-stakes game of social
chess, there was only one queen capable of such cunning moves—Wendy.
Sure, Mia wasn't exactly Zoey'S BFF, but Mia’s moves were always overt, all cards on the table. Only in
Wendy's presence did the tactics turn so underhanded they made your skin crawl. And this time, the
situation had gone too far.
But what could Zoey do? She was a nobody, with no evidence to back her up. From now on, she'd
have to keep her head down and steer clear of Wendy whenever possible.
Zoey felt a wave of helplessness wash over her. Anything connected to Fitch left her drained.
Unbeknownst to her, Wendy was dealing with her own set of problems.
Wendy had been hospitalized for two days, during which she heard that Belinda had been arrested.
Belinda was adamant in her defense, claiming that Zoey had instructed her to poison Wendy, jealous
that another woman was getting too close to Fitch.
The news infuriated the Bennitt family. They made a few calls to the police department, ensuring
Belinda would regret her actions.
They also harbored a growing resentment towards Zoey, the alleged puppeteer behind it all, and
plotted to make a move against Star Movie Group.
That was when Tyler stepped in.
Tyler hadn't set foot in the Bennitt family estate for years, but a single phone call was all it took.
"If you think you can take her down, go ahead," he taunted, knowing full well the repercussions if Ian
and Maja caught wind of it.
In Greenfield, Ian was the last person you wanted to mess with. He might have been a fugitive, but his
return could be as triumphant as a prodigal son's. His tactics in business were as effortless as
snapping a biscuit in half, unpredictable and ruthless.
He once stirred up a storm for a woman like Maja, who came from nothing. What was to stop him now?
With rumors circulating that Ian was sheltering Star Movie Group, nobody dared make a move.
But Zoey was fair game. Tyler didn't intervene, simply saying, "Do as you please."
He was curious to see if Fitch would allow the Bennitts to harm Zoey.
He knew his cousin all too well; she was a firecracker. And if this incident was her doing, it wouldn't be
the first time.
Whenever she wanted a rival out of the picture, she succeeded without fail.
The lack of a significant other by Fitch's side over the years was partly her doing. There was that model
who confessed to Fitch once, only to leave the scene with a ruined face days later, never to be seen
again.
Wendy, with the Bennitt and Haskins dynasties behind her, was a formidable opponent for Zoey, who
had her own concerns about protecting Star Movie Group. Even if she knew who was behind this, she
had to swallow the bitter pill in silence.
Tyler couldn't help but chuckle at the unfolding drama.
"If only Ian were here," he mused, lighting up a cigarette with a sigh.
In the hospital, Wendy had been examined repeatedly. The doctors warned her about the potent
toxicity of the drug, which could easily lead to kidney failure if not treated with care.
Tears filled Wendy's eyes as she clung to Fitch's arm.
"Fitch, how is Zoey's mom doing? Did she really do this?"
But the key point was Belinda's adamant claim of Zoey's involvement.
Fitch felt an inexplicable surge of emotion as Wendy's grip tightened.
As she spoke, her eyes drooped, and she coughed weakly.
"I've already talked to my parents. Told them not to pursue it. As for Zoey's mom, let the law decide hernovelbin
fate. I'm sorry, Fitch, for bringing all this trouble as soon as I returned. You must be distressed, too. Do
you have feelings for her?" New ch?pter avаilable o? Dr?мanоvеls.cоm
Before she could finish, Fitch cut her off.
"We were never together. Zoey and I is impossible."
A flicker of triumph crossed Wendy's tear-stained face, her lips curving into a faint smile.
