Chapter 909: Chapter 909 The Only Daughter
Because if the scandal of being framed was exposed, the Anne family would likely be affected as well.
Charlotte Thompson only wanted revenge on Zoe Anne, so forcing her out of the entertainment industry was the greatest punishment.
Moreover, although the Anne family’s power did not match that of the Battleson and Thompson families, it was not to be underestimated. Charlotte might not be afraid, but she did not want to provoke such trouble.
As for what would become of Zoe Anne in the end, it all depended on the Anne family’s stance.
Indeed, as Charlotte Thompson and Justin Battleson expected, the Anne family was now enveloped in a gloomy and serious air of anger.
Slap!
Mr. Anne’s hand at his side trembled slightly as he looked at Zoe Anne kneeling in front of him, pointing at her in bitter disappointment.
"You! You have utterly disgraced our Anne family!"
Zoe Anne incredulously covered her cheek. She was the princess who had been pampered by the Anne family since childhood, when had she ever been hit?
In an instant, tears welled up in Zoe Anne’s eyes.
Seeing this, Mrs. Anne was so heartbroken that she immediately rushed over, "How could you hit the child!"
"It’s all because you spoil her like this that she’s become so lawless! Look at the shameful things she’s done!" Mr. Anne said, infuriated.
"She’s my daughter; of course, I’m going to pamper her!" Mrs. Anne retorted.
"Mom..."
Zoe Anne huddled in Mrs. Anne’s arms, her eyes swollen with tears like walnuts.
"What are you crying for, only knowing how to cry!"
Mr. Anne looked at Zoe Anne’s appearance and, although his heart ached, seeing the Anne family’s reputation ruined because of her, his heart was filled more with anger.
"Zoe Anne, I’ve discussed it with your grandfather, we’re sending you to Cethuira."
At these words, Zoe Anne’s cries abruptly stopped, but before she could speak, Mrs. Anne immediately objected, "No! Absolutely not, we can’t send our daughter away!"
"If we don’t send her away, are we to continue letting people laugh at the Anne family?" Mr. Anne’s chest heaved violently.
"But..."
"There are no buts. It’s settled; there’s no room for discussion. She must go to Cethuira!"
However, before Mrs. Anne could finish her sentence, Mr. Anne interrupted her.
"No, I won’t go abroad. I want to stay here!" Zoe Anne finally regained her composure, her eyes already drenched with tears.
Being sent alone to an unfamiliar Cethuira, how was she supposed to live?
"I want to see Grandfather. Grandfather won’t bear to send me abroad," Zoe Anne couldn’t help sobbing.
Mr. Anne pointed at Zoe Anne, scolding loudly, "You still want to see your grandfather? Do you know that he’s been laid low by anger because of your actions!"
"Dad... I’m your only daughter. How can you be so heartless to me?" Zoe Anne knelt on the ground, and as she approached, she clung to Mr. Anne’s pant leg.
"Don’t you know who Ryan Richard is? How on earth did you get involved with someone like him!" Mr. Anne let out a breath.
He didn’t want to send Zoe Anne away either, but at this point, he had no choice.
"Dad, don’t listen to those people online making baseless accusations. I don’t have any kind of relationship with Ryan Richard..."
Zoe Anne started to explain, equally regretting her previous decision.
"The video is already out there; who would believe you? Then tell me, why did you go to the hotel with him?"
Mr. Anne’s questioning left Zoe Anne speechless.
How could she possibly admit that her meeting with Ryan Richard was to set up Charlotte Thompson?
Zoe Anne’s head drooped slightly.
Why did it turn out like this?
If it wasn’t for Charlotte Thompson, why would she be sent abroad?
That’s right, it was all because of Charlotte Thompson!
