Chapter 49


    Lilith''s parents turned out to be former employees of the Sanders family.


    At that moment, a waiter brought arge te of fish, but Mia had no appetite.


    She remained indignant. "There''s definitely something fishy about the Wright family."


    Zoe also felt uneasy. She gently pressed Mia''s hand, offeringforting words.


    She understood Mia. Mia came from a well-off family, and at 26, she had chosen to marry the 40-


    year-old Gordon, who already had a son and a daughter. This decision severed ties with her own


    family.


    Mia was proud. She swore to live well, to prove that her choice was right. Now, she felt trampled


    underfoot by former servants. She could not swallow this humiliation.


    Zoeforted her.


    She also mentioned the money. "With this money, things will be much easier. Mom, our lives will


    only get better from here."


    Mia chuckled after being cheered up, but she could not hold back her tears as sheughed.


    "Zoe, I''m not doing this for myself. I just can''t stand it for your sake. The daughter of a driver and a


    cook shouldn''t look down on you." After a pause, she continued, "Mason must be blind."

    Zoe continued to soothe her, nodding along.


    After venting, Mia felt much better. She was concerned about her husband, so she hastily left after


    eating a little, leaving Zoe staring nkly at therge te of fish.


    "Mrs. Zoe!"


    Suddenly, a voice rang in her ears, familiar yet unfamiliar.


    Zoe looked up and saw Lilith.


    Lilith was sitting in a wheelchair wearing hospital clothes, looking fragile. However, those seemingly


    gentle apricot eyes carried a cunning shrewdness.


    Lilith had no other choice but toe find Zoe. Mason refused to answer her calls and did not


    come to see her at the hospital. When she called Ava, the response was always sarcastic, saying


    she was reaching for the stars.


    Panicking, she came to Zoe.


    Lilith came from a humble background and had a crude approach. Regardless of her own status,


    she tearfully looked at Zoe, even grabbing onto Zoe''s sleeve, portraying a pitiful image.


    "Mrs. Zoe, I beg you not to get involved with Mason. We truly love each other. If you step back, I


    promise we will be very happy together. You can''t force love, Mrs. Zoe, don''t you agree?"


    Zoe had been married to Mason for three years.


    Lilith had been present for three years, but this was the first time Zoe faced her.


    She was vulgar and shameless.


    In the past, Zoe would have been at a loss.


    Perhaps because she no longer cared about Mason, she surprisingly remained calm. She even


    responded to Lilith in a calm andposed manner.


    "Ms. Lilith, you should say these things to Mason. Often, the problem lies with the man when it


    comes to these matters, not with the woman."


    Lilith bit her lip, looking embarrassed.


    In her impression, Zoe was very naive. She had not expected her to be so indifferent. She came


    forward, no longer caring about her dignity. Following Zoe, Lilith shouted, "He doesn''t love you at


    all."


    Zoe halted.


    Lilith revealed a triumphant expression. She lifted her head slightly and continued speaking.


    "If he loved you, why didn''t he save your brother? If he loved you, why did he let your father stay in


    such a shabby hospital room while I stayed in the VIP ward at Samphia Hospital, enjoying the best


    doctors? Mrs. Zoe, he doesn''t love you at all."


    …


    Zoe lowered her gaze and calmly said, "That''s not your problem."


    As she left, her heart ached intensely.


    She knew all of that.


    She knew Mason did not love her.


    She was well aware of this after being married for three years.
