Chapter 133
Eunice was infamous all over Jelonsburg, and everyone knew exactly what she had done at the Ludwig family’s party.
When the news reached Clara, she was still holding her glass, proudly showing off Eunice’s talents to a group of Jelonsburg socialites. The moment she heard it, she fainted on the spot.
“What! The one caught in the scandal wasn’t Zoe, but Eunice! As soon as Sophia got the final word from her assistant, her face darkened dramatically
She slammed her hand on the table and shouted, “I knew Eunice would screw this up. She couldn’t even handle something so simple. How could she have the nerve to promise me everything would go smoothly?”
Sophia didn’t care if Eunice’s reputation was ruined. She only cared that her plan had been completely wrecked by Eunice.
With anger boiling inside her and nowhere to let it out. Sophia could only follow the White family back home.
The Evans residence was in chaos tonight, all because of what happened to Eunice.
Eunice

pon the couch, crying nonstop. No matter what Clara asked her, she just wouldn’t say a single word.
Clara, whose nerves were already shot, nearly fainted several times, especially after seeing all the nasty comments online and realizing her precious daughter had become the laughingstock of all Jelonsburg overnight..
It was while the family doctor was treating Clara that all the boys of the Evans family rushed home in a panic.
By the middle of the night, even Bruce Evans, the head of the family, who hadn’t shown his face since Zoe came back, got the news and flew all the way home from abroad.
What should have been a happy family scene was now replaced by a heavy, suffocating tension in the living room.
No one felt like talking. Everyone’s face was grim, leaving only Eunice sobbing uncontrollably on the couch.
Just then, Zoe opened the front door and stepped into the house.
The moment Eunice saw Zor, all of her pent–up anger exploded. She screamed like a wild animal, “Zoe, why? Why did you do this to me? Do you bare me that much?”
If her brothers hadn’t been holding her back, she probably would have rushed over and tore Z
Zoe
apart.
Seeing that Eunice had come home early, rallied the family, and was throwing out these baseless accusations, Zoe just crossed her arms. rycbrow, and said with a smirk “Oh? And what exactly did I do this time?

Eunice said, “You let all those men humiliate me and even called reporters to take pictures. This is all your fault, Zoc. You ruined my life and my reputation Why did you do this to me? I’m your little sister!”
Zoe thought. Funny how Eunice only remembers I’m her sister now. When she was about to humiliate me, did she ever think of that?
If I hadn’t gone through all those poison resistance experiments, the one being set up and shamed right now would be me
Just then, Clara w

and was slowly helped downstairs by the family doctor. When she heard Eunice’s words, her face twisted like she had just stepped in something disgusting
Clara stormed down the stairs, yelling in a frenzy, Zoe, what exactly do you want?
“How could you be so vicious? 11 Ilad known you would ruin Esquice’s life, I would have gotten rid of you before you ever reunites with the Evans
“What did I do wrong for you to go this far to get back at the and my family! I’m gonna kill you. I swear I will?
Clara couldn’t accept that her most cherished daughter had been ruined by Zoe Overwhelmed with rage, she cursed loudly, lunging forward with the intent to grab Zoe’s hair and slap her across the fare
At that critical moment. Zors eyes flashed with determination. She was just about to fight back when Sean and Clube rushed forward, blocking Clar, before she could do anything

Chapter 133
Sean, abways the calm one, said. “Mom, let’s not jump to conclusions. We don’t know the whole story yet, and I believe there must be a reason for all this
It’s true Zoe and Eunice don’t get along, but I know Zoe, she’s not the kind of person who would just lash out at Eunice for no reason.”
Charlie nodded in agreement. “Exactly, Mom. Let’s hear her out first. If Zoe really did something, we could deal with her later.
Just then, Bruce, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly slammed his hand on the table, radiating the authority of the family head
He stood up and roared, “Enough. All of you shut up. Look at yourselves, you’re disgracing the family!”
even Eunice, who had been cryi
nonstop, quieted down a bit.
With Bruce stepping in, everyone instantly fell silent.
Seeing this, Bruce’s face grew even grimmer as he looked at Zoe, the daughter who had just come home and already stirred up such a huge mess.
To be honest, Bruce never liked Zoe. That was why, even after all those years abroad, he only ever mentioned her to the family and never came back to see her himself.
Now, with this whole drama, Bruce’s expression turned even icier. He shot Zoe a stern look and immediately demanded. “Explain yourself. Why would you do this to Eunicer
“Don’t you understand that in a family, we rise and fall together? If Eunice’s reputation is ruined because of you, what good does that do you?”
He didn’t even give her a chance. He just slapped a baseless accusation on her right from the start. Zoe let out a cold, indifferent laugh.
She didn’t rush to defend herself. It was Charlie who stepped up for her, “Dad, I don’t think Zoe would ever do something like that.
“You can’t just pin
in this on Zoe without any proof. We need to figure out what happened before making any accusations.”
Sean stayed silent for a moment. He realized they couldn’t just take Eunice’s word for it and condemn Zoe. He always felt there was some misunderstanding in all of this.
Therefore, he said, “Dad, give me some time to look into this. Even a suspect is considered innocent until proven guilty. We can’t just convict Zoe so rashly:”
To Eunice, Sean’s insistence on fairness and Charlie’s open support felt like nothing short of betrayal.
After all, no matter what happened before, Sean and Charlie always took her side. She was their little princess. However, ever since Zoe came back. things changed.
