Jerry knew that both Zoey and Emma were eager to keep Evie safe. Hence, he leveraged that and put on a good show to convince them to go with his plan.
Besides, he was their last hope. Therefore, Zoey had no choice but to believe him.
She had her speculations that Jerry might be a liar, however, it was a risk she had to take.
Even if there was a slightest hope.
Yet, the reality was cruel.
Once Jerry had the Morris Group to himself, he immediately fired Iris and the other council members. The reason behind his actions was to gain complete control of the company in the shortest amount of time.
In the meantime, Zoey was left in a miserable state...
The Lehman family had publicly broken off their relationship with her, the business empire she built on her own was taken away from her, and her child was facing grave danger.
She felt hopeless.
The news of Jerry deceiving Zoey soon spread like wildfire.
Even so, the Lehman family could only watch as they were no longer related.
Everyone merely reprimanded Jerry regarding his actions but did nothing else.
As for Jerry, he was overjoyed that he had acquired Zoey’s business empire easily.
Consequently, the Gott family had become even more powerful than before.
Although it was not comparable to the standards of an ancient family, it was still on par with an imperial family.
“Hmph, did the Lehman family think that they could use me like that? How could they let me marry a woman who had a child? Are they trying to tarnish my reputation?”
“If it weren’t for Zoey’s empire and the Lehman family’s power, I would have never agreed to the marriage! Did she think that she’s that irresistible? Hah! How ridiculous!”
“Besides, how could you count on me to raise the child of a traitor? Is she even worth it? She’s just an illegitimate child that should have died along with her father instead of staying alive in this world!”
“Anyway, I’ve heard the news about the assassination organizations going after the child. So I guess we’ll receive the news very soon!”
Jerry made the following series of remarks as soon as he had gotten everything he desired.
Meanwhile, Zoey was appalled at the sight of Jerry on TV.
