Chapter 218
Zoe sat calmly in her MPV even as Penny kept rambling on beside her. “Those ingrates, turning coats
as soon as Mandy bought them some snacks! Don’t they remember that you’ve been treating them to
tea every other day? Put together, that’s way more than what it cost Mandy! And why won’t you let me
scold them, Zoe? Badmouthing us behind our backs… it’s outrageous!”
“Their mouths are theirs. They can say whatever they like,” Zoe told Penny.
Penny pouted. “But they’re also questioning your relationship with Jay..

Before Nancy could speak, Alan nodded, giving his approval for once. “Go.”
Zoe happily left the living room, though in reality she just wanted to check her phone away from her
grandfather’s sight.
It was a family rule not to use their phones in front of elders.

Mandy thought she was seeing things… but it really was Zoe!

How shameless could she get?! !
However, Mandy was not about to let Zoe ruin her meeting with Jay’s parents.
With that in mind, she strode up to Zoe and slapped her across the face with a loud smack!
She caught Zoe by surprise, leaving her dumbstruck!
