Chapter 2428
The one thing in this world Zoey refused to face was her own desire that she kept in the
deepest part of
her heart.
What Nollace did was like a public execution. He had trampled her pride and self–esteem on
the ground. Nollace looked at his lawyer and asked, “What’s the punishment for
prostitution?”
The lawyer pushed his eyeglasses and replied, “Regardless of the location, it’s inherently
illegal to engage in sexual transactions with people to obtain remuneration benefits, and so
forth. Although it doesn’t constitute a crime, it’s subject to detention for more than ten days
and less than fifteen days, and a fine of $800,”
Nollace smiled at Zoey and asked, “Do you have anything to say, Ms. Markle?”
Zoey shook her head and shouted hysterically, “No. I was forced to do it. It wasn’t me… It
wasn’t my fault

evidence. Besides, didn’t you already get what you wanted? So there’s no way you can
escape from this. This is just the beginning.”
Nollace turned around and continued. “It won’t affect you if we just give you a warning.
Since you take other people’s tolerance for granted, I’ll let you know the consequences of
not behaving yourself.”
After he had finished speaking, he left with his men.
He ran into Zephir in the corridor and stopped in front of him. There was a meaningful smile
tugging at the corner of his lips as he said, “What do you think about this show, Mr.
Gosling?”
Zephir looked at him and asked, “What are you trying to say?”
Nollace went closer to him. He looked straight into his eyes calmly and continued. “I let you
off the hook last time, and since you protected Daisie and our baby this time, we’re even
now. I hope you can behave yourself as well, Mr. Gosling.”
Without waiting for Zephir to say anything, Nollace walked away.
Zephir pressed his lips tightly and walked into his office.
Zoey was crying herself hoarse on the couch. When she saw Zephir, she threw herself in
front of him and grabbed his hand. “You’ll help me, right? I know I’m wrong. Please, you’re
the only one who can help me…”
Zephir flung her hand away and said, “What makes you think I’ll help you?”
Zoey was stumped. Looking at the coldness in his eyes, she couldn’t hold herself back
anymore and lashed out at Zephir. “You’re the one who asked me to stay with them. If
something happens to me, you won’t be able to get away either!”
Zephir glanced at his assistant.
After his assistant left, he slapped Zoey across the face, causing her to fall to the floor.
“Did I force you? Didn’t you do it voluntarily? And now you’re going to threaten me?” Zephir
grabbed her chin and continued. “I thought you’re a smart woman since you’re willing to
stop at nothing to set me up, but it seems like I was wrong. I don’t know what makes you

Zoey trembled. She couldn’t say anything. It was only now that she realized she had fallen
into a trap
specifically prepared for her. She had been under the impression she was the queen who
had everything under her control, but in reality, she was just a pawn that other people could
sacrifice at any moment.
Zephir released her and stood up straight. “You think you’re smart, but you’re dumb as a
rock. Even if Daisie doesn’t rely on her family in the entertainment industry, you have no
way to harm her, either. The reason the Goldmanns don’t do anything to you is that you’re
just a clown who doesn’t deserve their attention at all. Do you really think you’re that good
and important? Don’t you know what happened to Tiffany?”
Zoey sat frozen stiff on the floor. There were no tears in her eyes. She clenched her hand
and gnashed her teeth tightly.
She just couldn’t accept it. She couldn’t accept that Daisie could get the role she wanted
without
difficulty, while she had to give up on the role she had worked so hard for just because she
did not have any family background.
