Chapter 2394 Get Your Keister Out Here
“Stop lying your way out of this. Leave everyone else out of it and just say you agreed to the deal! You’re not that kind of lying scumbag.”
Zoey was in tears, enraged by the ‘fact’ that Levi was lying through his teeth.
Everything turned out to be how Levi expected it to be. Once the divine brigadier made the announcement, not a soul in the world would think he was lying.
After all, he was the leader of an esteemed organization, so everyone would instinctively think a man like him would never make empty promises or tell a lie. Especially not for a guy like Levi.
To them, it was just a small matter, so there was no need for him to lie. But if he wasn’t lying, that automatically meant the liar was Levi.
Even if Levi told the divine brigadier to come back and tell everyone the truth, they would never believe it. The stereotype was already deeply entrenched within them, after all.
Floyd gnashed his teeth. “Yeah, Master. Just admit that you said yes! Everyone knows the truth now, so there’s no use playing dumb.”
Everyone else agreed, “Yeah, why are you acting like a coward? You already did the deed, so why not admit to it?”
Levi was on the verge of fury. “I did not do it. Why should I say sorry for something I didn’t do?” He wanted to explain, but there was no use in that.
“What a shame, though.” Everyone sneered. “You might think you can marry her, but she apparently doesn’t think too highly of you. Didn’t you hear her? She called you a scum for trying to marry her when you already have a family, and we have to agree with the girl. You are a piece of scum.”
“Levi, you’re the one at fault here. Now apologize to Zoey,” Mia demanded an apology from Levi so the matter wouldn’t get any worse.
Everyone else urged him to apologize as well, “Yeah! Apologize to Zoey right now! Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and you’re no exception. Just say sorry and she’ll let you off the hook!”
Zoey was fuming, but she was also waiting for Levi to apologize. If he would say sorry to her, she’d let the whole matter slide like a slab of butter on a slate. Zoey would just chalk it up to an impulsive moment by Levi.
However, Levi looked at everyone defiantly. “I didn’t do it. Why should I apologize for something I did not do?”
He was telling the truth again, but even then, everyone still managed to get angry about it.
So he’s going to dump his family and marry Queenie instead? Just because she comes from a more powerful background?
Everyone was deeply disappointed in him, since they couldn’t believe Levi wouldn’t even apologize after all he had done to his family. All Levi did just confirmed their suspicion that a deal was made without them knowing about it.
Zoey started crying, but she still told Levi, “Fine, I’ll give you the freedom you want then. You can do whatever you want.”
To everyone’s surprise, Levi actually took the offer and left. “Alright. I’ll be out for a second. I’ll explain when I come back later.”
Nobody could believe what they just heard. Levi’s actually leaving? He actually left just because Zoey said he could? What is he, stupid? No, he’s obviously siding with The Cardinal Hall now.
“Why did he turn out like this?” Everyone had the same question.
“Don’t worry, Zoey. If he marries another woman, I’ll cut off all ties with him and take your side,” Floyd said.
“Me too. We’ll cut off all ties with him if he goes on with this.”
“We’ll always stand with you, Zoey. Don’t worry.”
Everyone showed their support for Zoey, worried that she might feel down after getting abandoned, but Zoey only shrugged. “Thanks, guys, but I’m fine. We can just get a divorce. It’s not a big deal. There are much bigger things happening in this era.”
Aaron piped up, “If worse comes to worst, you can get a divorce. We’ll stand with you. Evie’s all grown up now, so no big deal about it.”
“Yeah, just get a divorce if you want to. We’ll support you,” everyone said.
Mia stomped her foot angrily. He could have said sorry and be done with it, but he just had to make things worse, didn’t he? Dammit. I’m dragging him back. He needs to explain himself. I will not let them break up.
At the same time, Levi arrived at The Cardinal Hall’s doorstep not long after the divine brigadier and Queenie came back.
“Get your *ss out here, divine brigadier! I’m whooping it!” Levi’s voice boomed across The Cardinal Hall.
