“What?”
Zoey’s eyes suddenly sparkled as she always wanted to clear Levi’s name.
As expected, it was picked up by someone else.
Meredith and Robert looked at Russell in disbelief as they didn’t expect him to expose the truth.
“Russell, what are you babbling about? What’s this about Zeek taking the check?”
Logan desperately winked at Russell for him to keep quiet.
“I have proof! Zeek even spent tens of thousands from the check.” Russell ignored all the signals the members of the Black family gave him.
“I don’t believe it. All of the Black family’s servants are of the highest integrity,” Bailey insisted.
“If you don’t believe it, you can get Zeek here to ask him yourself,” Russell suggested.
Pamela and the others protested, but Meredith agreed. “Alright, bring Zeek in for questioning.”
In a brief moment, Zeek arrived, trembling.
He was terrified and didn’t dare to look Levi in the eye.
“Very well, Zeek, l have a question for you and you have to answer truthfully,” Russell instructed.
“A-alright, Mr. Black… please go ahead and ask,” Zeek replied with his head lowered.
“Did you see Levi throw the check into the dustbin the other day?” Russell asked.
Both the Lopez and Black families waited with bated breath for his answer.
Even Levi and Zoey’s gaze were fixated on him.
Trembling violently, Zeek was extremely nervous. He lifted his gaze to give Meredith a glance and answered, “Mr. Black, I didn’t see Levi throw the check in the dustbin.”
Boom!
The moment he replied, Russell and Zoey were stunned.
As for Meredith and the others, they smiled triumphantly.
“Zeek, you’re lying! You’re the one who pick up the check and now you’re denying it in front of everyone,” Russell bellowed in desperation.
“Mr. Black, I’m innocent! I really didn’t pick up the check. On that day itself, I saw Levi leave the manor with the check. Everyone else saw the same thing,” Zeek continued his lie without even batting an eyelid.
“That’s right, we saw him leaving with the check, it was never in the rubbish bin,” the rest added.
Russell almost burst a blood vessel hearing that.
Why do such people even exist?
He looked towards Meredith in disbelief.
She must have planned everything.
Nevertheless, I must prove that Levi is innocent!
“Russell, you’d better keep quiet and not throw unfounded accusations around,” Meredith yelled.
“I…” Russell stopped himself mid-sentence.
But how can I win against the whole Black family?
Meredith looked towards Levi, “What else do you have to say?”
Levi smiled, “There’s nothing more to say. I just feel that all of you are scum.”
Levi had already investigated the check’s record and was disappointed at how manipulative the Black family was.
“You b*stard, who are you calling scum?” Everyone was infuriated.
Levi’s words were obviously directed at everyone present.
“You don’t deserve to enjoy the cigarettes and wine!” Levi remarked coldly.
“Sheesh! Those cigarettes and wine were brought in by Russell, what have they got to do with you?” Robert retorted while the others piled on the insults.
Suddenly, Meredith stopped them.
Looking towards Levi, she asked, “Let me ask you, what do you want to do?”
Levi glanced at Zoey and said, “Six years ago, I was framed. The wedding wasn’t perfect and caused too many regrets for Zoey and me. Therefore, I want a fresh start with Zoey, to propose to her again and have another wedding to make up for the regrets we have.”
Zoey replied with a choking voice, “I will marry you!”
“Impossible! Zoey must be married to the Gates family,” Meredith quipped.
