Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 953
Chapter 953 Get Stronger
Caitlyn was the one who hit Zoey.
She stared at the latter and yelled furiously, “Your mom? I’m your only mom!”
Zoey was flabbergasted to be slapped so suddenly and stared at her mother in disbelief.
That was the first time someone had ever hit her since she was born.
“Zoey, you’re such a disappointment!” Her father, Aaron sighed.
“Why would you be so stupid as to buy a house for Levi’s mom? What on Earth was going through your head?”
“Are you intending to leave the Lopez family and the Black family? You want to live with Levi and his family from now onward?”
Everyone was taking turns to reprimand the woman.
Zoey covered her face with her hands, feeling extremely aggrieved.
She did not think she had done anything wrong.
“Let me tell you this. If you are going to treat Levi’s mother as your own mom, don’t call me mom anymore!”
“Go and be with them if you wish! We will sever all ties from today onward! My stance is very clear!”
After she finished speaking, Caitlyn walked out and slammed the door, leaving Zoey standing there, looking absolutely stunned.
The younger ones in the Black family were all trying to persuade Zoey to change her mind. “Zoey, we can’t be too easygoing when it comes to marriage matters.
As a member of the Black family, we should marry someone of comparable status. Besides, it’s you, the hope of both the Lopez and Black families.”
That was indeed the truth.
The main reason for the families’ wrath was that Zoey was their greatest hope. Naturally, her marriage would be a serious affair to them.
Judging by the current situation, Zoey clearly knew that she had only two ways out. Her first option was to become so strong that she would no longer be subject to the control of both families – she will be able to do whatever she wanted.
The second was for Levi to come up with a big surprise during their wedding, something big and grand enough to shut the mouths of the families up.
Otherwise, both the Lopez and Black families would continue to object to her union with Levi.
However, Zoey quickly dropped the second idea; she wasn’t sure if she could count on Levi to deliver on his word.
It was easier for her to become stronger than to depend on Levi to do anything to stop her families’ objections.
It was perfect that Morris Group had launched a major technology project recently, and Zoey decided to speak to Iris and request to be in charge of the project.
As long as that particular project proceeded smoothly, Zoey’s career would be elevated to the next level. Her net worth would surely skyrocket.
By then, she would be free to do anything she wanted and not be trapped in the current situation where she had to be subject to her families’ scrutinizes.
Zoey was the type of person who acted on her words.
She immediately contacted Iris and asked to be in charge of that project.
To her surprise, her friend agreed to her request readily.
“Sure, it’s yours then. You’ll have free rein.”
“Huh?
Don’t you need to consider anything? This is a project that is worth hundreds of billions, Iris!”
Zoey was bewildered by the other woman’s carefree attitude towards the project.
“Indeed it is, and you’re now in charge of the project,” Iris replied.
Well, your husband is the boss of Morris Group, so everything is already yours. Whatever request you have will certainly be granted.
“But this is such an important project. Shouldn’t you have a discussion with the rest before coming to a decision instead of handing it to me straight away?”
Zoey asked in shock.
“Trust me, no one will object to this decision! If you don’t believe me, I can call them right now to ask!”
Iris then personally rang each of the higher-ups and asked for their opinions on the project being handed over to Zoey.
“Ms. Lopez would like to handle that project?
I’m totally for it!”
“Oh, Ms. Lopez wishes to do so? I don’t have any comments then!”
Iris carried on calling the board members, and each one of them agreed instantly when they heard that it was Zoey who wanted the project.
