Wait… Why are the Garrisons kneeling?
The Black, Lopez, and Zachs families too?
Levi was right in the middle when Zoey entered.
It seemed like everyone related to Levi and Forlevia was being punished.
Zoey dashed toward Levi and cried out. “What’s the big deal? It’s just a surname! We’ll just change to another family name if everyone is so serious about it!”
Levi smiled looking at his frantic wife. “Calm down, Zoey. No one can interfere with our decision.”
Upon that, everyone exchanged uncomfortable glances.
It was true that no one would dare to stand up against Levi.
On the contrary, they genuinely hoped Forlevia could take the Garrisons’ family name.
Hence, they figured Zoey must have misunderstood the situation.
Just as Teneb was about to speak, Zoey beat him to it.
“Cut it out, Levi. Can’t you see how grave the situation is?”
Zoey was afraid that Levi would make things worse if he continued his talk.
No one would be able to get away at this rate.
“Mr. Lehman, please help us. We promise to not make a fuss again.”
Dale straightened his back in surprise.
Why are you asking for my help?
Levi’s the one who has the final say here.
No one will go against him.
Teneb was the first to see through what was going on exactly.
“Fine. We’ll let you lot off just this once for Mr. Lehman’s sake,” he said.
“Yeah, I agree.”
When the other finally understood what Teneb was doing, they agreed unanimously.
They decided to play along since this was still related to The Calamity, and it would be considered as classified information.
“Thank you! Thank you, Elder Teneb. Thank you, Mr. Lehman.”
After that, Zoey quickly pushed Levi out of the clubhouse.
“Get lost!”
Behind her, Teneb’s voice pierced through the hall as he glared at Meredith and those with her.
They got on their feet immediately and left in a hurry.
As for the Garrison family, Levi was certain that the other families would look into it that they make themselves scarce.
Just as Zoey and North Sky Lord were getting Levi into the car, Meredith and her family came chasing after them.
“Hold up!” Harry cried out.
“What do you want?” Zoey replied impatiently.
“Look at what your husband did. He’s not even capable of protecting his own family. He has to rely on you to get him out of the situation. He’s putting all three families at risk!”
Henry was even more blatant with his remarks. “Are you even a man? You’re pathetic! You have to count on a woman to clean your sh*t. You have no pride. I’d rather die if I were you.”
Meredith pointed a finger at Zoey when neither Zoey nor Levi said a word. “Just you wait and see. Your husband and that kid will be the death of you.”
Jennie nodded and added, “I really don’t understand you, Levi. You should just leave Zoey and stop dragging her down with you.”
However, Zoey looked away and remained quiet.
It was fortunate that they got away with it tonight, but if this were to happen again, she really did not know who else to turn to for help.
