    Zion’s voice was icy. “Answer the question properly.”


    T/T


    “Zion, I’m warning you, you’re now at a prison. If you dare to hurt me, that’s against the Ln-”N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Before Philipcould finish, Zion tightened his grip, making Philip feel like his shoulder bones were about to shatter. Philip grimaced in pain and shouted, “Help…help! Somebody help!”


    Zion’s tone was menacing. “There are no surveince <b>cameras </b>here. No one wille in without my orders. No one will save you. But don’t worry, I’ll cover your medical bills.”


    Seeing the cold glint in Zion’s eyes, Philip gave up resistingpletely.


    Marve spoke up, “I want to know the secret behind the Scott family’s memorial hall”


    Hearing this, Philip hesitated. “11only heard bits and pieces about what’s hidden in that memorial hall. I heard that there were valuable items there.


    “To cover my debts, I had no choice but to steal Patrick’s keys. That’s when I overheard <b>him </b>saying he <b>was going </b>to kick me out. I was so angry, I left”


    Philip rubbed his temples wearily. “I searched the entire memorial hall and found nothing valuable. I felt I had been fooled and it made me even angrier.


    “I knew how important the key was to Patrick<b>, </b>so I tried to use it as leverage. But Patrick wasn’t fazed. In a fit of rage, I nned that car ident.”


    After hearing the whole truth, Maeve waspletely disillusioned with Philip. She turned to Zion <b>and </b>said, “Zee, we <b>can </b>gor


    Zion released Philp. As Mave turned to leave, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Philip. “I think my dad kicking you out wasn’t really about cutting ties with you.


    “He knew the people who <b>got </b>you into gambling debt were trying to bring down the entire Scott family. By kicking you out, those people would realize you had no value to them.”


    Hearing Meeve’s words, Philip didn’t lift his head, but <b>a </b>glimmer of rity seemed to light up his cloudy gaze. He didn’t want to admit his foolishness, but he fell into deep thought


    at that moment


    Outside the room, Richard, who had been standing guard, saw theming out and asked, <b>“</b><b>Are </b>you guys done?”


    Marve nodded. “Thank you for arranging this, Mr. Carter.”


    “<b>Not </b>at all. d to be of help”


    Richard smiled and then turned to Zion “Mr. Spencer, the car is ready. We’ll take you both back now,


    “Good”


    Zion stayed close to Maeve, and Richard followed behind them. One of the prison guards whispered to Richard, “Mr. Carter, isn’t Ms. Scott actually Mrs. Brooks? Why is she so close to Mr. Spencer?”


    “Shush! Shut up! Don’t ask what you shouldn’t!” Hearing this, the guard quickly covered his mouth.


    Just then, Zion seemed to hear themotion behind them, and he quickly wrapped his arm around Maeve’s waist.


    Marke nced down at Zion’s hand around her waist and frowned. “What are you doing?


    “Nothing I just didn’t want you to fall.”
