Zoey was angry too, and she insisted, “And I say that it will not happen! My name is Zoey Lopez, and no one can change that!”
“Fine, you forced me to do this. Guys, take her away! She will change her surname one way or another!” commanded Dustin.
The four men who had come with Dustin took Zoey away forcefully.
Oriental Star Group was in a mess.
Still, their opponent was a powerful figure from South City, so what could they do?
“This is our family’s internal matter, and if anyone dares to butt in, the Lopez family from South City will show no mercy!” threatened Dustin before he left.
That frightened everyone even more.
In the end, Zoey was dragged back to the family’s home.
They forced Zoey to kneel in front of the Lopez family’s’ ancestral hall.
“Sir, we have talked to the related departments, and Zoey’s surname can be changed at any time.”
Upon hearing that report, Dustin turned to Zoey and scoffed, “Pick any other surname. You are not worthy to be called a Lopez.”
Zoey shook her head. “That will never happen! My name is Zoey Lopez, and I will not stand idly by even if you have the departments legally change my name. I will just change it back.”
Everyone was shocked by Zoey’s persistence.
“Damn you, Zoey Lopez. How dare you disregard the family rules?”
Dustin could feel his authority being challenged, and that infuriated him.
“Sir, that is how she has always been. She has never respected the Lopez family in North Hampton or in South City.”
Shaun and the others kept stoking the fire from the side.
“I will order you one last time. Change your freaking surname!”
Dustin growled as he forced his anger down.
Zoey remained stubborn and ignored her safety then.
“No freaking way! You can demand a hundred times, but my answer will remain the same.”
Dustin didn’t look angry. Instead, he laughed and commented, “Fine then, you’re being stubborn! Guys, prepare the whips in accordance with the family rules. I will hit her until she bows down!”
Dustin had just finished speaking when two of his subordinates approached with a long whip.
