Zoe looked at the Weibo post.
Her eyes, which were originally filled with tears, were now filled with hatred!
She thought, ‘Derek!
‘It is Derek and Serina! They caused trouble for me!
‘I won’t let go of them easily!’
Zoe quickly canceled her special attention on Derek and strode towards the mourning hall. She knelt with her eyes full of hatred.
She was in great sorrow.
If she hadn’t gone to look for Derek and wasted time with Serina, she might have been able to see Darnell when she returned.
Unfortunately, before her father died, he couldn’t see her. When she rushed to the hospital, Darnell had already died and he was covered by a white cloth.
Thinking of what had happened these days, Zoe felt like she was about to suffocate from the pressure.
Webber Group might need to announce bankruptcy after the funeral.
The foundation of several generations of the Webber family was going to be destroyed.
She had been thinking for a long time. The servant suddenly ran down from upstairs, “Miss Zoe! Miss Zoe! Miss Zoe!”
Zoe saw the servant running down from upstairs and frowned. She was in a bad mood. When the servant arrived in front of her, Zoe slapped the servant!
“This is the mourning hall! Why are you still so unruly! You offended my father!”
The servant who was suddenly slapped was a young girl. She covered her face and her eyes were full of tears, “Miss Zoe, I just…”
“What is it? Tell me quickly!” Zoe was impatient.
“It’s Mrs. Webber… Just now, you persuaded Mrs. Webber to drink water and eat. She was eating quickly. At that time, I thought Mrs. Webber was too hungry and didn’t care. But after eating, she sent me out. I went over later but found that the door was locked from the inside!”
“It’s locked, so don’t go in! My mom wants to be quiet! My dad passed away, and she’s just in a bad mood! What’s there to make a fuss about!”
Zoe angrily rebuked.
“No, Miss Zoe, when I was serving Mrs. Webber for dinner just now, she kept muttering something like ‘I will go to accompany you…’ and ‘wait for me to be full’…”
The little girl was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.
“What?” Zoe was stunned.
“I didn’t care at first, because Mrs. Webber has always been fine. Now that the door can’t be opened, I feel strange. I’m worried that Mrs. Webber…”
Zoe immediately stood up. Because she had been kneeling for too long, her legs were a little numb. She staggered when she stood up. Fortunately, the little girl beside Zoe supported her.
“Hurry Up! Find a few sturdy men to burst the door open!”
“Yes!”
A few sturdy men were immediately gathered, and they worked hard to finally burst the door open.
As a result, the scene inside frightened everyone.
Lucia hung on the chandelier in the middle of the bedroom. There was originally a table under the chandelier. She probably stood on the table and tied a rope.
Then, the table was replaced with a chair. The chair fell to the ground, and Lucia was hanging there.
Her face had already turned purple.
“Mom!” Zoe shouted and rushed over.
…
In the Polaris City.
It was night. Derek and Serina were lying on the bed in a daze after sex.
Derek held Serina in his arms, and Serina’s face was still rosy.
“Have a rest and sleep,” Derek said softly.
Serina had always wanted to ask about Derek’s life experience.
“Are you sleepy?”
“What’s wrong? Do you have something to say?”
“I have always wanted to ask you about your life experience,” Serina cautiously said.
Hearing this, Derek fell silent.
Serina looked up and saw Derek’s gloomy face. She said, “If you don’t want to say it, forget it. I won’t force you. Go to sleep.”
“There’s nothing that I need to hide. I’m indeed not a member of the Maynard family.”
Serina did not interrupt and listened quietly.
“Ever since my mother married into the Maynard family, she had always wanted to give birth to a son for the Maynard family. Unfortunately, Dalton was very old back then and had worked hard for the business for many years. His health was also not very good. My mother had never been pregnant. At that time, technology was not so advanced. The technology of test-tube babies and artificial insemination were not very mature,” he said.
“Your mother was right. My mom was vicious and merciless. She was pregnant once, but she had an abortion because it was a girl. She did not want to waste time on a girl, because she knew that only her son could help her be stronger and steady in the Maynard family.”
“It was a coincidence that my mother met my biological father, Harold Locke. My biological father was doing arms trade, which was illegal.”
Serina did not dare to make a sound, because she noticed that Derek did not look good.
“His business was very dangerous. Every day, his life may be in danger. My mother fell in love with him back then and wanted to elope with him. However, he did not want my mother and me to live a dangerous life with him. He hurt my mother’s heart and they were separated.”
“Do you know why I was with Zoe? I had no other way at first. It was a coincidence. My biological father and Darnell were close friends. He once saved my father’s life.”
“Although Darnell is a cunning person, my father has always been the most loyal. Whenever Webber Group was in danger and needed money, my father would not hesitate to give Darnell and his daughter a large sum of money.”
“My father knew that Darnell was a profitable person, but he still helped Darnell every time. He often said that if it wasn’t for Darnell, he would have already died. People have to be loyal to friends.”
“It was also because of Darnell and Zoe that I found my biological father. At that time, at the engagement party, the Webber family was embarrassed, and my mother was sent to prison. Webber Group was in chaos because of internal affairs, and my father asked me to help them.”
“My mother has always wanted me to be with Zoe. Firstly, it was for uniting with the Webber family by marriage. Secondly, it was also because of the relationship between my father and Darnell. However, my father was abroad all year round and did not know about the conflict between me and the Webber family. He knew that I was good at business and wanted me to help them.”
“I knew that Darnell and Zoe did not have good intentions, but I still helped them. At that time, I was ashamed to face anyone. I had been helping the Webber family deal with some things silently.”
“They get the goods on my biological father. If I play any tricks, they may immediately expose it. Then my father will die without a doubt.”
Serina suddenly understood why Hayden said that Darnell got the goods from Derek.
