"Calm down, Mom." Even Cora was frightened by Nancy's reaction.
It had been a while since Nancy threw a temper like this.
She was furious.
She trembled with anger when she saw news about Jay and Zoe being married and even having a child between them.
How could she accept Jay and Zoe being together?!
How could she allow Zoe to appear before her once more? Zoe's existence was a humiliation and a blemish in her life. In her entire life, she wanted nothing more than to destroy Zoe!
"Jay Parker, I order you to divorce Zoe immediately and announce to the media that you have nothing to do with her!" Nancy screamed.
"Impossible," Jay said simply.
"Jay Parker!"
"I can announce that I have severed all ties with the Levines," Jay said emphatically.
He was firm and unyielding, leaving no room for negotiation.
"What did you say?!" Nancy could not believe her ears. "You want to sever ties with the Levines? Do you still have a conscience, Jay Parker?! Have the Levines ill-treated you over the years? Have I ill-treated you? I accepted you despite your status and past, and I've treated you well from the bottom of my heart, yet now you want to sever ties with the Levines just because of Zoe York?!"
She yelled so loudly at the top of her voice.
Jay looked in the direction of the room that Zoe just entered, checking if the door was shut.
He had promised Zoe that he would not let Nancy cause trouble for her, and he did not want her to hear anything upsetting.
Thankfully, the soundproofing in the house was excellent.
As long as the door was closed, nothing could be heard across the walls.
