But Rose frowned, with pain in her eyes, "I am not a goddess who can be kind to you even after you
hurt my daughter so much. I am just a mother who loves her child, and what you did is not a small
mistake. You do not take human life seriously! If you do something wrong, you should pay for your own
mistake. No one can help you!"
"You should pay the price for it." Bright added.
When Zoe saw that they both refused her, and not gave her any chance for regrets, she felt that they
were too cold-blooded and heartless!
"Brother Bright, Miss Rose, Zoe panicked when she saw Doris hurt. The first thing she did was to
leave. That is human instinct! She did not mean to do it. Why must she be criticized like this! Is she
really so wicked?" Lina tried to help Zoe, "Miss Rose, be lenient with others!"
"So, what Miss Kim meant is that I am being unreasonable?" Rose frowned. "You haven't been a
mother. You don't know what a mother feels like! It's the first time I've ever seen a person who takes
mistake for granted!"
"That's the end of the matter." Bright didn't want to delay any longer. "Take her away."
"Well, if you really want to send Zoe to the police station, you have to receive my approval. I won't
agree, anyway!" Lina stood in front of Zoe; her arms outstretched behind her. "Just come at me."
The men in black approached Lina, and she retreated a little until she was cornered, "If you dare to be
presumptuous, I will sue you for sexually harassing me!"
This was the only way she could think of was to protect Zoe. When Zoe did not report her, she would
try her best to protect Zoe, even if it was just for show.
Zoe was very moved when she saw Lina so protective of her, and at the same time, her resentment
against Rose increased.
"Lina..."
"Don't be afraid. Don't cry. I will be with you." Lina encouraged her. "It's no use crying. They have made
up their mind."
The men in black came forward and deftly grabbed Lina's wrist and pulled her away from Zoe and
controlled her. She tried to struggle but it didn't work.
"Let go of me! Did you hear me?" Lina commanded the men in black and felt embarrassed to be
touched by them, especially in front of Rose.
The first time to meet with her rival in love, she did not keep the weather, but looked embarrassed.
The men in black would not listen to her commands, and had her firmly in their grip.
On the other side, the men in black had already picked Zoe up from the sofa and were about to take
her out.
"Lina! Help me! I don't want to go to the police station!" Zoe was terrified.
Lina looked at Zoe being taken away, but she could do nothing. She gritted her teeth and said, "Brother
Bright, since you don't let Zoe go, please send me away with her! I can't help Zoe, so I might as well
stay with her."
"The room is dark and cold in the detention house, and she is alone. Zoe is just in her early twenties...
She'll be afraid of it. All I want is to be with her."
"Does Doris's injury have anything to do with you? I'll send you there without your asking." Bright stared
at Lina.
Lina was stunned. She was really afraid that Bright would suspect her, so she had to change the
subject, "Brother Bright, you have no evidence, why do you send Zoe to the police station? Are you
going to take what a five-year-old child has said as proof?"
"Zoe has admitted everything herself. Didn't you hear that?" Bright asked her.
"What if she does? There's no witness to prove it!" Lina looked at Zoe. "Zoe, when you get to the police
station, don't say anything and don't admit anything until the lawyer comes! They won't do anything!"
Right. They didn't have proof. There was still hope for Zoe.
"Proof? Bright pulled out a black voice recorder from the inside of his casual jacket. "Everything Zoe
just said is in here. Why didn't I come here until seven days later? Do you think I'd come here
unprepared?"
Lina looked shocked. She couldn't believe it.
How could she have forgotten that? Bright was very thoughtful and careful.
All of a sudden, she was like a peacock losing its advantage, and her pride was gone.
They lost out to their own thoughtlessness.
She could only watch as Zoe was taken away.
Bright made a gesture to the men in black to ask them to let go of Lina. She lost her support and slowly
sat down on the sofa. She still wanted to keep her last bit of grace in this most awkward moment.
Bright walked over and cast a shadow on her face. "Lina, I know Zoe's character. I hope you have
nothing to do with it, or I won't give you any chance."
This was a warning.
Lina looked into his deep and felt as if she would drown in it.
"Let's go." Bright said to Rose and Doris.
Lina sat there, watching Bright and Rose walk away with Doris, hand in hand with each other. The back
of the three of them looked so sweet.
Bright was not cold and heartless with Rose and Doris. Instead, he was gentle and affectionate as a
husband and a father.
And those men in black clothes also left. The whole villa was empty, and there was no liveliness or
bustle here, which was as cold as if it was an ice cellar.
Lina's vision began to blur, and then her tears flowed down her face like broken beads.
She bit her lips to stop herself from crying...
Why? Why? Why?
She kept asking herself why would it became like this? What was the good of Rose? Why could she
get tenderness and love from Bright, but she was treated indifferently and even hurt by him mercilessly.
She was not going to give up. Things became like this was because of that woman and that kid!
It took Lina a while to collect herself.
The first thing she did was pick up the phone they had given her when they left.
She called Francis immediately. When he answered the phone, she suppressed her tears and said,
"Mr. Francis, there is something I have to tell you."
And then she burst out crying.
Francis asked, "Dear Lina, don't you cry. What's going on? I will help you! Who dares to bully our little
princess?"
"Mr. Francis, listen to me. Here's the thing..." Lina briefed the story and emphasized, "It was Rose who
insisted on making Zoe pay for the price, and now Zoe's in the police station... Mr. Francis, you must
save Zoe... I don't want anything to happen to Zoe."
