On the white marble spiral staircase, Justin stood with his hand in his pockets, the designer suit
outlining his lean and elegant figure as he descended the stairs with graceful steps.
Zoe stared at Justin. His handsome face, which radiated superiority, made her gape in awe. She even
forgot to cry momentarily.
This man was indeed every womanâs dream husband.
She was right to cling to him, even if she had to throw away her shame and dignity.
She must obtain this man, no matter what!
âJustin, what do you mean? You assaulted my granddaughter, but now youâre saying itâs her fault?â
Logan narrowed his eyes as he asked coldly.
Justin curled his lips mockingly. âWhy repeat this and embarras granddaughter?â
The crowd was stunned. What did Justin mean by that? Could be more to that nightâs incident?
Zoeâs face turned pale. She hid in Loganâs arms and bit her lips, no daring to speak.
âYouâ¦!â
Logan was not young anymore. The anger got to him, and his face turned red as he almost could not
catch his breath.
âJustin! What nonsense are you spouting? Donât act recklessly in front of your elders!â
âReckless?â
Justin chuckled, but his gaze was exceptionally sharp. âIâm only stating the facts. Zoe, are you willing to
swear on your life that you werenât at fault for this?â
A chill ran down Zoeâs spine, and her heart thumped madly.
âWill you swear that you are innocent and knew nothing about the incident that happened at the hotel?â
Justinâs gaze was as cold as the abyss, staring at her like a police officer scrutinizing a criminal.
âIâ¦â
Zoe put on an innocent and naive act. âJustin, why would you say so? Swear on what? That nightâ¦
Didnât you ask me to meet at the hotel?â
Justinâs pupils shrank.
He thought Zoe would argue, but he did not expect her to fabri story.
âWe agreed to meet in Room 2051. I reached first, but you didnât sh up for a long time, so I wanted to
take a shower while waiting for yo
âI didnât expect you to arrive as soon as I finished showering. Isnât this what happened that night?â
Teardrops hung on Zoeâs eyelashes. Her eyes were red and swollen, as if what she said was true.
âJustin, I didnât know why youâre unwilling to admit everything. But no matter what you say, I wonât
blame you. If you want me to swear, then I will!â
Zoe gritted her teeth as she raised three fingers. âI, Zoe Hoffman, swear to God that I did not say a
single word of falsehood. Otherwise, Iâll die a miserable death!â
Swear? How ridiculous.
Does God really exist?
Zoe did not believe in God or karma. She only knew that she must obtain whatever she wanted, no
matter how dirty the means.
