Hazel was taken aback for a second , but then she started walling and causing a scene . Zoey , how dare you ? I carried you for nine months and gave birth to you , and this is how you repay me ? You grace the King Family by being a kept woman , and now you wont even admit it and want to hit your own mother ! Are you even Human ?

Luna, are you so quick to accuse me because your feel guilty or because youre scared Ill win Brian back ? Lunas face went pale , and she quickly shook her head , tears welling up in her eyes . No , I didnt lie about you ! Last time , you got into a car with a guy who looked Dads age . He was laughing and talking with you , and everyone saw it ! Now youre accusing me to save yourself ?

Ill deal with you later ! When he opened the door , both Timothy and Hazels faces changed .

Sir , do we know each other ? Im here to return Miss Kings bag ; she left it in my car . Zoey stepped forward to take the bag , thanking him calmly . Sorry for the trouble , Terry . Timothys face darkened . Zoey , now your sugar daddy is here , and you still wont admit it ? How long are you going to lie ? Sugar daddy ? Terry was stunned . After a moment , he seemed to understand and laughed . You misunderstand . Im the butler and driver for the Phillips Family . Jesse Phillips asked me to pick up Miss King . She is very capable ; please trust her and ignore any baseless rumors . With that , Terry said his goodbyes and left . Zoey turned around , enjoying the sight of Timothy and Hazels changing expressions . Any other questions ? Even knowing they had wronged Zoey , Timothy still showed no sign of softening . He stared coldly at Zoey and changed the subject , Even if you werent being kept , you were still out mixing with people . Do you know that because of your repeated absences , the school is about to expel you ? Look at Luna . Shes younger than you but much more sensible , always at the top of her class !
