There was no way they could escape from the building anymore.
“What do we do now?” Sylas asked.
“I’ll give Levi a call.”
She got through to Levi on the phone. “Darling, something terrible happened!”
Levi did not know what was going on as he was still at home. “What is it?”
When Levi checked his phone, he was stunned by what he read.
Did all this happen in just one morning?
“Where are you? I’ll go and get you now!”
Levi sped to Sylas’ condominium and noticed that a large group of paparazzi and journalists were swarming into the building.
Hence, he immediately called Azure Dragon, who then came and expelled the crowd.
Levi finally managed to enter the building and find Zoey. He then brought her to the Warzone compound.
To him, that was the safest place for Zoey.
Yet, the fact that Zoey went into hiding caused the rumors about her to blow out of proportion.
At the Black family’s manor, Meredith got so mad that she nearly fainted.
“What? Levi is not the father of Zoey’s baby? The baby belongs to another married man?”
It had not been easy for Meredith to accept that Zoey was carrying Levi’s child.
Needless to say, this rumor further fueled her anger toward Zoey.
How do you expect me to sit quietly and watch this happen?
“Mom! How could you not trust Zoey?”
Aaron and Caitlyn immediately defended their daughter.
“I want to trust her too, but there’s all this evidence against her! How do you expect me to trust her based on my gut feeling?” Meredith roared.
“That’s right. Some of the evidence might be fake, but most of them are real! Even the guy involved has fled!” Robert said.
“Why is this happening to our family? I don’t even have the courage to face the public anymore!”
“She’s a disgrace to the Lopez and Black families!”
“I’ll not hesitate to give her a slap if she dares to step into this house!”
…
“I don’t care what you say, but I have faith in my daughter. She must have been framed!”
Meanwhile, a group of journalists gathered in front of the office building that Morris Group and Oriental Star Group co-owned.
Noelle Sinsler, another vice president of Oriental Star Group, addressed the matter before the media, “On behalf of Oriental Star Group, I apologize for the problems caused, and we’ll take full responsibility for the scandal!”
“Zoey Lopez’s personal life has always been a mess. Though she’s divorced, she doesn’t actually have a clean breakup with her ex-husband. Besides this, she has been hitting on our young male talents from the entertainment department. But there was nothing we could do at that time because she’s our president. We sincerely hope that the public could accept our apology!”
Having said that, Noelle bowed to the camera.
The act of Noelle making a public apology on behalf of Oriental Star Group was equivalent to admitting that Zoey was indeed a homewrecker.
In no time, the media released another news article with the headline: Oriental Star Group comes clean about the Zoey-Damon affair and the truth behind her pregnancy.
Once again, the scandal became one of the trending topics on social media.
All the employees looked at Noelle in shock. Hasn’t she always been a low-profile person? Why did she bash Zoey all of a sudden?
They were taken aback by the sudden change in her behavior.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you doing this to Zoey?”
Iris immediately stepped in and interrupted her.
Noelle responded with a cold snort, “I’m absolutely embarrassed by what my boss has done. She should be ashamed of herself! Besides, the evidence is conclusive. What else have you got to say?”
Noelle then turned around and looked at the rest. “Zoey Lopez doesn’t deserve to lead the company anymore. She should step down and leave the company!”
“How dare you!” Iris’ eyes glowed with a towering rage.
