Chapter 1655

She looked down, fighting the pain in her fingers and holding on.

Mia stood beside her, alternating between cursing and whispering, each word a hunting echo of the assault she had suffered.Zoey didn't respond until Mia spat that she deserved to die. She shot back, "What if | really died?"

She was indeed tired of living; life never seemed to shine bright.

She was always abandoned, anyway. If her life could get these people off her back, then they could take it.

But Mia retorted, "Don't you think dying will be that easy for you. Just you wait!"

Zoey knew Mia was plotting something new, but she didn't know what would happen until Sharon showed up and slapped herwithout hesitation.

That's when she grasped Mia's tactics.She had always felt Mia was cut from the same cloth as Belinda, and now she felt it more deeply than ever.

Mia had recorded their conversation on Zoey's phone—it was mostly about Mia's own breakdown, and she also confessed theassault she endured.

Zoey hadn't said much, but to those unaware of the context, it seemed she had pushed Mia to the edge by forcing her to revealher trauma.

The recording circulated from Zoey's phone, leaving her defenseless.

Once again she was defenseless, just like when Belinda had framed her.

No one would believe a mother could scheme against her daughter to such an extent.

Nor would one believe that a girl would gamble her innocence in such a way.

It took a few slaps for Zoey to understand that she could never escape the clutches of these people.Her life was being ruined by Belinda and Mia.

She was the one being destroyed.

Not just destroyed, but devoid of even a shred of pity.

When she was taken to the police station, her face was calm; she thought maybe staying in jail would be better than nannying forMia.

But she had underestimated Sharon's hatred. People in jail have been briefed beforehand and, led by a queen bee, bullied herdaily.

Collapsed on the cold floor, she couldn't help but wonder, where had her life gone wrong?

Then she realized that she should never have been born.

Right now, in Mia's hospital room, Mia continued to weep and plead Fitch to swear not to be with Zoey.Fitch, already troubled by his journey, frowned.

"| remember Zoey didn't have her phone on her."

Mia stiffened, her face paling, but she quickly recovered.

"Yes, | gave it to her. She said she wanted to make a call.”

"You hate her so much, yet you'd lend her your phone?"

She wished death upon Zoey; it made no sense she'd comply with her request.

Mia looked down, with tears streaming.novelbin

"Fitch, are you saying | staged this whole thing? You think I'd joke with my own honor? What is Zoey? She deserves you?"Fitch massaged his temples, and said coldly as usual.

"| told you, | let you bully Zoey to vent your anger. You're my sister, I'm on your side, but don't overdo it. My villa has securitycameras everywhere.”

Mia felt weak, and her head was spinning.

How could she forget? Fitch was so methodical, and his house was watched by cameras.If he checked, he'd see that Zoey never touched the phone.

Indeed, Mia wouldn't have given it to her willingly; her claim didn't hold up.

She fell silent, shaking with rage.

Sharon spoke up.

"Mia is your sister, after all."

"It is because she's my sister that I've indulged her against Zoey."

Fitch walked to the window and closed it.

"Mia, is it because of her stepfatherthat you're giving up? The Haskifamily fortune | heceaWbatévsryowegdnthrough, we can supportyou. But if you keep debasingyourself, no one can help you." Pleaseread the original content atNovelDrama.Org.
