Chapter 15 Be Alone

• Any words?” Zoe was about to cry and she said with both dissatisfaction and resistance. “Zoe, be good, give it to me!” Valerie didn’t dare to exert too much strength and just withdrew the workbook from Zoe’s hand bit by bit. The workbook was finally taken away. And Zoe sat on the ground. She didn’t get what she liked. The workbook left her embrace and was now in Valerie’s hand. Zoe cried in grievance. And her cries were loud. Everyone in the villa could hear it. “Zoe!” Reyna and Bruce rushed over. Following the sound, they went to the corridor. Reyna held Zoe in her arms and stroked her head with a heartache.
• “Zoe, what happened? There, there, tell me what’s going on!” Zoe cried so much that she gasped for breath. With red eyes, she pointed at Valerie. “Valerie…” Only then did Reyna and Bruce notice Valerie. Zoe had yet to finish her accusation. But Reyna shot daggers at Valerie already. “What have you done to your sister? Where did your conscience go?” Valerie was prepared for Reyna’s questioning. However, she still felt pain in her heart after experiencing it again. The one questioning her like this was her mother.
• Everyone was stunned by the loud questioning. Even Zoe, who was in Reyna’s arms, stopped crying. She sobbed and cautiously looked at Valerie. Zoe knew that she was in the wrong and that Valerie would be reprimanded by Reyna again. Valerie didn’t show the nervous and aggrieved expression like always. She just gripped the workbook and hid it behind her, looking quietly at Reyna and Bruce. Reyna’s chest rose and fell due to excitement. When she calmed down and Zoe stopped crying, Valerie coldly explained.
