Jennie covered her swollen face while Logan struggled to stand up. After that, both of them stared at Levi wickedly.
Levi glanced at Meredith and scolded, “You and the old man are indeed shameless!”
“Why are we shameless? Besides, who are you to accuse us of something like this?” Meredith asked angrily.
“Did you renege on your promises to Zoey?” He asked firmly as soon as Meredith finished.
“I didn’t renege on any promises. In fact, I never made such promises! Moreover, everyone in the Black family can be my witnesses!” Meredith looked unexpectedly composed even when she was lying.
“Exactly! We can testify that she never made any promises to Zoey!”
“Zoey made this up! There are no promises made whatsoever!”
The members of the Black family began to argue and asserted that Zoey made everything up.
Meanwhile, Zoey couldn’t help but sneer when she felt the cold-heartedness of the Black family once again.
“Meredith, do you dare to look me in the eyes?” Zoey said furiously.
“Why not?” Meredith sneered.
“How dare you say that you didn’t promise Zoey anything? Look into my eyes and answer me with your conscience. Did you make the promises?” Suddenly, Levi interrupted and bellowed at her with a deep voice.
Much to everyone’s surprise, Meredith answered hesitantly when she met Levi’s terrifying gaze, “I… I didn’t promise her anything…”
“You hesitated! Zoey is your granddaughter, but is that how you should treat her? Is that how you behave like an elder? Don’t you ever worry that your ancestors will condemn you? Alas, you used to serve in the military. Is that how you are supposed to deceive your own granddaughter?” Levi asked a series of questions and didn’t give her a chance to interrupt.
Since Levi was rather aggressive, Meredith was frightened and breathed heavily. As her body was shivering, she dared not to look into his eyes.
“Humph! You don’t even have the guts to look at me now. You are clearly lying and feeling guilty about it! Besides, Zoey respects you a lot as an elder. Is that how you should treat her in return?” Levi continued to question Meredith.
Puff!
Actually, Meredith tried to remain composed to disguise her sense of guilt in the first place. Now that Levi kept triggering her with words, she soon couldn’t help but feel panicked.
Since Meredith couldn’t withstand his direct questioning, Robert stood up and yelled, “Who are you to question us?”
“Well, are you afraid to be questioned by me?” Levi couldn’t help but laugh when he replied.
“Why should we be afraid? The truth is no promises were made!” Even though Robert said firmly, he began to sweat from his forehead.
The Black family couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt because he was imposing and aggressive when questioning them.
In particular, his eyes looked as sharp as a knife that could pierce through their hearts in no time.
As such, many of them were petrified by merely looking into his eyes.
“Who are you to question us? This is the house of the Black family. Get out of here now!” Bailey suddenly yelled furiously.
“That’s right. This is the house of the Black family. An outsider has no right to taunt us here! Get out now! Or else you shouldn’t blame us when we resort to violence!
At this time, the other members of the Black family were exasperated as well.
