After Prison, I Became an Underground King Chapter 06
“What? The Draven family?”
Zoey’s pupils trembled.
The Draven family was one of the pillars of the capital. Their businesses stretched across the country, their influence woven deep into every corner of the elite circles.
As the current head of the family, Tina was infamous for her ruthless methods and iron authority in the business/ world.
Why would someone like her get involved with the Goldman family’s old mansion?
An inexplicable irritation rose in Zoey’s chest.
Just then, her phone rang.
Ronald’s gentle voice came through the speaker.
“Zoey, what time are you coming home tonight? I can cook and wait for you, okay?”
Once upon a time, that soft and affectionate tone had comforted her.
Now it only annoyed her.
“There’s no need to wait for me. And don’t forget, I only married you to provoke Henry. The only fiancé I’ve ever truly wanted was Henry.”
She hung up abruptly and threw herself onto the sofa.
Staring at the empty living room, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself hard across the face.
“I’m such a b*stard…”
But I was gone.
Zoey searched all over Solaria, yet there was no trace of me anywhere.
Tina was equally impossible to find, appearing and disappearing like a phantom, as though she had vanished from the face of the earth.
By the time Ronald came looking for her at the company, Zoey had not slept for three straight days.
“Zoey, I know you’re worried, but your health matters too. You can’t keep pushing yourself like this.
“Think about the baby. Please come home and rest with me.”
Zoey impatiently shook his hand off.
“If I can’t find Henry, I’m not going home.”
Ronald bit down hard on his lip.
“Zoey, you can’t treat me like this.
“I’m your husband. And the way I love you has never been less than my brother’s. Why can’t you ever look at me properly?”
Jaweria Aurangze… Added a post: “Feeling grateful for all the lovely fan mess…
As he spoke, he suddenly started taking off his clothes and moved closer to her.
Zoey’s expression instantly darkened.
“What are you doing?
“I have never had those kinds of feelings for you. Put your clothes back on and get out.”
She strode out of the office almost like she was fleeing.
Furious, Ronald smashed the office into chaos.
He collapsed onto the floor, his voice filled with hatred.
“Why? Why won’t you ever look at me?
“What do I possibly lack compared to that trash?”
Zoey frowned and turned toward her assistant.
“I want you to reinvestigate the scandal from back then. Every last detail.
“And no one can know about this.”
Night fell.
The assistant returned with a pale face and handed over a file.
“Ms. Sanders… you need to prepare yourself for what’s inside.”
Her hands trembled as she opened it.
The very first page contained evidence that Ronald had bribed a wealthy woman to stage the explicit photo scandal.
Her face instantly turned white.
The further she read, the clearer it became that the entire scandal years ago had been a lie fabricated by Ronald from start to finish.
Zoey’s eyes reddened with fury.
“That b*stard… how dare he?!”
What had she done?
She had actually sent me onto an auction stage and let those people humiliate and toy with me.
The thought twisted through her heart like a knife.
Clutching the file tightly, Zoey rushed home.
In the living room, Ronald stood with his back to her, speaking on the phone.
