Chapter 39
Chapter 40 A Friend’s Fury
Xavier became even more protective, his brows furrowed tightly. “Zara, what are you doing, barging into my house? Bianca isn’t well. Don’t scare her p>
Zara looked as if she had heard the most ridiculous thing. “Hahaha, not well? I don’t think her body is unwell, I think her heart is. Her heart is too filthy p>
Bianca’s expression changed, and she looked on the verge of tears. Xavier couldn’t listen anymore and snapped, “Zara! That’s enough! Don’t run wild in house p>
my
Zara looked like she had heard the joke of the century. “Xavier, oh Xavier, has it only been a few years and you’ve already forgotten Tatiana? You’re protecting this wild brat who came from god–knows–where! Don’t forget, when you almost died falling into the lake, it was Tatiana who jumped in to save you p>
Xavier fell silent.
Bianca was so angry she gritted her teeth, her eyes almost unable to restrain a vicious glint. A large part of the reason she hadn’t been able to get rid of Tatiana these past few years was this Zara!
Zara was the eldest miss of the Zeller family, a noble status second only to the Jackson family in their circles. She had been friends with Tatiana since childhood. If Jasper hadn’t been suppressing her and preventing her from making a move, Zara probably would have acted against Bianca long ago.
Chester couldn’t watch anymore and said sternly, “This is our family’s affair p>
Zara wasn’t afraid of him at all. “In the past, out of respect for Tatiana, I gave you face and called you ‘Uncle.‘ But now, it seems you really don’t deserve to be an elder! After all these years, you’d develop feelings even for a dog, let alone a daughter who was filial to you! Is the Lowell family that hard up for money or a bowl of rice? Did you have to be so ruthless as to kick her out? If you were that short on cash, you should have said so! I’ll donate it to you p>
These words were too rude. Chester was fuming, pointing a finger at her. “You… you p>
“What? Was I wrong? I can’t be bothered to waste my breath on you! Since you disown Tatiana, you should hurry up and make a public statement severing ties. From now on, you have no right to control her p>
Even though the truth of her birth was out, legally, Tatiana was still a child of the Lowell family.
That’s why they had the right to sign as her guardians to send her to the rehab center back then.
Xavier, seeing her disrespect his parents like this, looked disappointed. “Zara, have even you
become like this p>
Zara almost laughed in anger at this. “What? What have I become? You’re not satisfied? Do you want to send me for ‘reform‘ too? Too bad, you don’t have the authority to throw me in! You should have just died in that lake back then. It would have saved you the embarrassment of being here, unable to tell right from wrong p>
Zara’s sharp tongue was famous in their circles. No one dared to provoke her.
She came today specifically to cause trouble. She couldn’t stomach this! The moment her grounding was lifted, she rushed over to the Lowell family to raise hell.
“You eyesores. I’ll only say this once. You’re the ones who didn’t want Tatiana. Don’t regret it later p>
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from behind her. “Regret what p>
Bianca cried out, “Jasper p>
Zara turned her head and saw Jasper in a black suit behind her. She then looked at Bianca flying over to him for comfort, and she understood everything.
She ‘tsked,‘ her face full of contempt. “Tattling to the grown–ups… I stopped playing that game in kindergarten. Some people are really good at it, huh p>
Bianca looked even more aggrieved and didn’t dare make a sound.
“Does Marvin know you’re out today p>
Zara gritted her teeth. “Don’t use my grandfather to scare me, Jasper. I didn’t do anything, just said a few words. You’re protecting her like this, but what about Tatiana? Does anyone protect her? If you won’t, I will. I came here just to take Tatiana away. I promise she won’t appear in front of you again. And in the future, you’d better not hurt her either p>
This was a decision Zara had considered for a long time. She was going to send Tatiana abroad.
If she stayed in Dalliston, she would be eaten alive by these people. She had to leave.
That’s why, the moment her confinement was lifted, she eagerly came over, preparing to take
her away.
“Where is Tatiana? Where is she p>
Jasper’s tone was flat. “This matter doesn’t concern you. You should go back p>
An inexplicable unease welled up in Zara. Before coming to the Lowell family, she first went to the Steele family and couldn’t find Tatiana. That’s why she rushed here.
But after all that shouting just now, she still hadn’t seen Tatiana.
So, where is Tatiana?
“Speak! Where is Tatiana p>
Jasper didn’t respond and gave a command: “Show her out p>
The bodyguards behind him immediately stepped forward, but they didn’t dare physically move the eldest miss of the Zeller family. Instead, they said politely, “Please p>
“I’m asking you, where is Tatiana p>
This time, there was a tremor in Zara’s voice.
Bianca was smug. The humiliation from just now finally had an outlet. She pretended to say unintentionally, “Don’t blame Jasper. It’s her fault. She p>
“Shut the fuck up! Who the hell asked you p>
Bianca was stunned by the shouting.
