Furthermore, Minka was assertive and caused Zoey to feel even more pressured.
Zoey thought that if she were a man, she would choose Minka over herself too.
“Mommy, I’m scared of that woman,” said Forlevia softly in Zoey’s arms.
“Don’t worry, she will be leaving soon,” said Zoey while she patted Forlevia’s head.
Minka heard her and chuckled. “I won’t be leaving so soon and will be staying here for a few months!”
Zoey was rendered speechless.
How very blunt of her!
Minka was an iron lady on the battlefield. Therefore, she carried out everything swiftly the moment she moved in.
She even placed strict control on Levi’s schedule and reorganized the manor’s security.
On top of that, she replaced all the security personnel with her people.
In short, everyone had to follow her orders.
Furthermore, she restricted Forlevia from visiting Levi with the excuse of not wanting her to disturb his recuperation.
Zoey found their living arrangement and environment unbearable.
She could not even speak to Levi privately.
Moreover, she felt that Minka was deliberately excluding her.
One day, Zoey finally found the chance to bring Levi to a secluded corner.
“We need to have a proper discussion! Minka’s arrangement has seriously disrupted our lives. Even Evie can’t stand it anymore! While I’m thankful that she treats your condition, she has no reason to force such restrictions. She even forbids you from meeting Evie!” said Zoey with frustration and anger.
She was most exasperated with Levi’s indifferent attitude.
If he took a stand, she wouldn’t have to resort to this.
However, Levi had his own reasons, and he could not reveal anything yet.
It’s hard to determine who has been watching us since Minka’s arrival.
Thus, the slightest slip could foil my plan completely.
Furthermore, if something happens to Minka, it would bring a significant impact on the top-secret mission.
Levi had considered all these and chose to pretend that he did not notice Minka’s arrogant behavior.
“There’s nothing I can do about her. Just bear with it,” said Levi.
At the moment, Levi let Minka do whatever she wanted, and his attitude made Zoey furious.
Is he brushing me off?
Is he the same Levi that I know?
In the past, he would always find a way to deal with a problem.
But now that it concerns Minka, he pretends not to notice anything.
Zoey was completely disappointed with his attitude.
Meanwhile, Emma heard their conversation and came to persuade Levi to do something too.
However, Levi also gave her the same answer.
“Mother, Zoey, my hands are tied! I can’t do anything until I find out her purpose…”
In actuality, Levi had considered a way to make Minka leave. He thought he could use his Crown King identity to make her go away.
What if Minka was knew something?
If I do that, will everything be exposed?
Therefore, he needed to find out why Minka was there in his house.
He asked the West Sky Lord to investigate her and believed that he would get the result soon.
Gradually, the family grew distant.
Even Forlevia did not go to visit Levi.
Likewise, Zoey did not spend time with him and threw herself into work.
She only greeted him briefly every morning and left immediately.
One day, she lost her temper.
