Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1642

Zoey replied, "Even if I say I wasn't involved, you won't believe me, will you?"

Fitch indeed wouldn't believe her. Despite having witnessed the strained relationship between her and her mother, Wendy's case remained unsolved.

Even if Wendy deserved punishment, Zoey orchestrating a poisoning was far from noble. He had already convicted Zoey in his mind, and whatever she said would be met with skepticism.

"You best not be involved in this." He said icily, retreating to the couch to sit, "Call your mom. You know what to do."

His people were still out searching for Belinda, and it was only a matter of time before they found her. But what would Mia endure in the meantime? His sister had always been spoiled rotten, unaccustomed to hardship.

Zoey's lashes fluttered downward as she retrieved Belinda's number from the blacklist. Just as she was about to make the call, Fitch's voice cut through again, "Come here, call in front of me, and put it on speaker."

She lowered her gaze, slowly making her way over.

Fitch had an aura about him, distinctly different from the likes of Ian with his air of high-born grace. His demeanor was steady, cool, and austere. One of his hands rested on his knee, revealing a flash of a silver wristwatch.

After calling Belinda's number, an excited voice came through, "Zoey, dear, the woman you wanted handled has been taken care of. Don't worry; she won't be in your way anymore."

At these words, Zoey's brow twitched violently, the corners of her mouth twisting involuntarily. Her mother had a cunning streak, foolish at times but undeniably shrewd when it mattered, always perfectly timing her sabotage.

Just like now, guessing the reason for Zoey's call. Having already crossed the Haskins family, and having fled with her man, if she could drag Zoey down with her, it would be a win-win-win.

About the poison incident last time, Zoey successfully made herself clean; this time, she would definitely bogged her down.

Belinda despised Zoey, blaming venomously her daughter for the mess that had become her life, and she was determined to confirm Zoey's involvement in this latest debacle.
