“Be quick, remove my heels for me,” Liya said in an annoyed tone. She wasughing and flirting with Oscar, but she noticed that Zoe still hadn’t removed her heels for her.


    Oscar was already aroused by Liya, but upon hearing what she had said, his mood was once again ruined. He looked up and saw Zoe standing still. Rage built up in him. He grabbed an ashtray from the coffee table and sent it flying towards her as he let out a curse, “B*tch.”


    The ashtray was aimed towards her.Zeo couldn’t dodge in time, and the ashtray crashed into her arm. She immediately felt a stinging pain.


    Liya looked mockingly at her as she said, “Zoe,I only wanted you to remove my heels for me.Was it that hard?”


    Zoe could only suppress her anger and re hatefully at Liya. She gritted her teeth as she bent down and started removing her heels.


    It was against Zoe’s will to do this, and the straps on the heels were intricate as well. After several attempts, Zoe still couldn’t manage to remove them.


    “Ouch, it hurts. What are you trying to do?” Liyained as she kicked Zoe in the face with her heels on.


    Zoe was caught off guard, and as she was kicked in the nose, sheimmediately cried out andsucked in a breath of pain. Her hand was covered in blood after she wiped her nose.


    “Liya, you sl*t, you’re going too far with this!” Zoe had never been set up like that. Moreover, it was by Liya. Zoe couldn’t withstand her anger anymore.


    “Mr. Jones, look at her. She wasn’t willing to remove my heels at all, and she hurt my ankle,” Liyained to Oscar in a coquettish manner with a wronged look on her face, although she was delighted to see Zoe being set up.


    Oscar was just getting in the mood to have two beauties spending the night with him. He had all sorts of tricks in mind, but before he could go any further with them, the both of them had already started arguing with each other. He was annoyed, especially after he heard Liya saying that her heels had not been removed yet.


    Oscarimmediately sprungup and grabbed Zoe’s head before pping hard on her cheeks,yelling, “You b*tch, you’d better start listening to me! How dare you keep on ruining things for me! I’m going to teach you a hard lesson today, so that you can never crawl back to report against me.”


    Oscar bellowed as he grabbed her head and hit it against the grounduntil he almost knocked her out. He then ripped off her clothes and tied her arms behind her back. He tossed her on the couch as he gritted his teeth, saying, “You b*tch, learn something from her. If you can satisfy me enough tonight, then I’ll let you go away for irritating me. Otherwise, I will not let you get away.”


    Oscar was cursing and yelling at her, but the anger in his heart did not subside. Hended another kick squarely on Zoe’s stomachbefore he turned around and continued having fun with Liya.


    Zoe’s head rumbled. Her entire body was in so much pain that it felt as if it was going to split open. She curled up on the couch. The moaning and groaning sounds from Oscar and Liya could be heard.


    Zoe experienced it all, that night, on what it meant to be humiliated, what it meant to be a sl*t, and what it meant to be in so much pain that she wished she could just die.


    That night, Zoe had to endure the pain in her body and surrender herself to Oscar’s maniption, whereas Liya watched aside with a mocking smile. Throughout that night, Oscar would even demand Liya and Zoe to please him with different methods.


    Liya was not as smart as Zoe in plotting against someone, but Zoe could neverpete with Liya in bed.


    Zoe couldn’t satisfy Oscar in bed, whereas it was a piece of cake for Liya. Moreover, with Liya sowing discord, Zoe had to endure physical abuse from Oscar that night. If it weren’t for Oscar, who had held her captive, Zoe would have already taken her own life.


    It was not until dawn when Oscar finally fell asleep.


    Zoey on the couch, gasping vulnerably. She couldn’t get up at all.


    “Hmph, things will only be worse for you if you decide to go against me,” Liya said as she stood up and got changed as if nothing had happened to her at all. She walked in front of Zoe and picked up her chin with her cold fingers before saying coldly, “Zoe, let me tell you this. Since you’re threatening me with my video, I also filmed whatever you did with Oscar tonight. If you irritate me further, then I swear I will ruin your reputation and your life.”


    Liyaughed sinisterly after saying that. There was a murderous glint in Zoe’s gaze. Liya shot a nce at the wounds on Zoe’s body resulting from Oscar’s whipping, smiled smugly, and walked out of the room in her high heels with her head held high.


    Zoe continued to lie there with a deathly pale face. It took her a long while before she decided to stand up and get changed. She stumbled along her way out of the room.


    Meanwhile, Octavia felt uneasy throughout the whole night in their hotel room. Zoe hadn’t been back the entire night. She paced around in the room anxiously, just as someone twisted the doorknob.


    The scene left Octavia trembling in fear.


    She almost couldn’t recognize that the woman standing in front of her was Zoe.


    Her cheeks were swollen, her nose was bruised, and there was blood seeping through the corners of her mouth. If it weren’t for her outfitand the familiar hairstyle, Octavia could never tell that the woman was Zoe, who had always looked arrogant and tough.


    Octavia didn’t have to ask to know what had happened the night before!


    She sighed in silence.


    If Zoe wasn’t that arrogant, if Zoe wasn’t that proud, then she could’ve led a great career path on her own, but she went down the wrong route and fell in love with the wrong person. Perhaps fate was messing around with her.


    Octavia was aware that Zoe had known Hansen since they were children. They could be considered to be well-acquainted. If Vivian hadn’t arranged for Jenna to marry Hansen back then, then it could be that Zoe would already be Mrs. Richards by now…


    Octavia thought about this possibility absent-mindedly.


    Zoe stumbled a few steps and fell head first onto the bed.


    Octavia hurriedly brought over some warm water to help Zoe clean up after pausing for a moment. The more fabric she removed from Zoe, the more she couldn’t withstand the sight of her battered body. She was terrified. Just how pervertedwas Oscar to torture a woman like that?


    If that was the case,then Zoe would definitely suffer throughout their marriage if shewere to get married to him.


    s, women had difficult lives.


    Octavia shook her head and carefully wiped Zoe clean.


    “Octavia, Liya is really good-for-nothing.She’s a sl*t.” Zoe groaned in pain while getting those words out from between her teeth.


    Octavia stopped her movement and asked in bewilderment, “Miss Yates, was Liya there too?”


    Octavia was shocked.


    “She’s wasn’t just there. She schemed all this.” Zoe gritted her teeth and swallowed a mouthful of blood from the corner of her lips,continuing to say, “She’s just shameless. She deliberately pleased Oscar to get him to humiliate me at the same time.”


    Zoe once again wanted to die as she was reminded of what had happened the night before. Her hatred for Liya started sprouting and expanding.


    “She’s just too disgusting.” Octavia was shocked to hear that. She knew Zoe was implying that she and Liya had spent the night pleasing Oscartogether. Being involved in something like that would only make Zoe feel worse than having to kill her.


    “Not only that, but she also filmed a video of Oscar torturing mest night. She’s using that as a threat.” Zoe felt the stinging pain in her cheeks and gnashed her teeth.


    “Ah.” Octavia was so shocked that the towel in her hand fell off.


    In their original n from the previous night, Zoe wanted to intercept Liya and threaten her to find the Ocean Heart from Richards Manor. Zoe wanted to exchange the video recording in her hand with that piece of jewelry. Yet, she fell into Liya’s trap.


    Now that Liya also had a video recording of hers, they were even. Zoe could never threaten Liya to do anything for her.


    “Miss Yates, if that’s the case, then we won’t have anything to hold against Liya. What should we do?” Octavia felt helpless.


    A sinister smile appeared on Zoe’s face as she said, “I will never let that sl*t get away. If it weren’t for her,Jenna would havealreadybeen in prison. If it weren’t for her, Yaris wouldn’t have died. If it weren’t for her, the Richards Group would have been destroyed.I would have Hansen begging for my mercy, and getting the Ocean Heart wouldn’t be such a hefty task.”


    Zoe’s expression was twisted as she said that.


    Moreover, she had been schemed against the night before, and she had to endure Oscar’s torture as well as humiliation. Zoe could never tolerate such a thing.


    “You’re right. We should just cut Liya, that b*tch, into pieces. She deserves it anyway,” Octavia replied furiously.


    “I won’t let Oscar, that b*stard, off that easily either.” Zoe groaned and muttered, “Just wait until I’m done with Liya. I will maim him as a man. That perverted dumb pig.”


    “But then, Miss Yates, we have nothing against Liya anymore. What should we do with her?” Octavia asked with concern. She suddenly was reminded of something and hurriedly said, “Miss Yates, how about this? I heard that Oscar has spent tens of millions of dors on Liya. Why don’t we let Matteo know about this? Matteo will be extremely furious and will definitely ask for Oscar. Liya will then be left without her support.”


    Octavia said with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.


    However, Zoe dismissed her suggestion. She shook her head and said, “No. It wouldn’t be effective on her anymore. She still has Richards Manor even without Oscar. If we want to seek revenge, then we will have to wait for a better opportunity. Moreover, she is still useful to me for now.”


    Zoe was staring into the distance as she said that. The bloody scratches on her swollen cheek were still visible. Sorrow started shrouding her gaze.


    Octavia was terrified to see her like that. This was her first time seeing sadness and loneliness in Zoe. It was as if the usually tough and confident Zoe was dead inside.


    “Octavia, Sergio has his eyes on the Ocean Heart. Everyone has their eyes on that priceless piece of jewel, but I can never let Sergio get it.” Zoe said with her drifting eyes widened, “Send someone to infiltrate Richards Manor from tomorrow onwards. Ask them to keep an eye on Liya. As long as she’s in there, we will have our chance.”


    Octavia blinked her eyes and asked in confusion, “Does Liya even know about thispiece of the jewel?”Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    “She will know,” Zoe said as cold sweat started trickling down her forehead. She curled up with her hand over her stomach as she appeared to be in pain.
