Viola was frozen in shock.
She had never seen Zoey lose control like this. Zoey had always been composed and steady, unflappable in the face of crises, able to handle even the gravest situations with ease.
But now, she seemed like a madwoman.
"Do you see clearly now? This is how everyone sees you—crazy and obsessed, disregarding your status, ignoring decorum, and showing no shame. You don't even care about your basic dignity."
Zoey grasped Viola's hand tightly. "Let's go. You wanted to see Mother, right? Let's go and drive her to her grave with anger. You can then take your own life to atone for your sins, and this household will finally have peace."
Viola shrank back in terror, her eyes wide as she stared at Zoey. She gasped for breath, shaking her head.
No, she wasn't like this—she wasn't this mad!
"Zoey, I don't want to go anymore! I won't!"
Jane quickly helped Zoey to sit down. Tears were streaming down Zoey's face as she reflected on her time in the Prince family. She had devoted herself to this family, caring for her in-laws and her husband's younger siblings, even accommodating his concubines and their children. She had never treated anyone poorly.
When the concubines caused trouble in the previous years, Oliver had supported them, and Zoey suffered a lot. Later, she worked hard to help him build a reputation and secure a job to protect her own children’s future.
Everyone relied on her, but not everyone listened to her.
Over the years, the only ones who truly supported her were Caspian and Luna. Her mother-in-law wasn't bad, but she was soft-hearted. Many rules Zoey established were easily undone by Evelyn's kindness.
As for the troubles at home, Viola had given Zoey no small amount of grief. Now, with her position as Barrett's wife, she had stirred up trouble in the Farrell family. She had even made a scene at Hell Monarch Estate. Even though the royal residence maintained strict order, the presence of guests and numerous servants at the Farrell estate meant that loose lips were inevitable.
If such matters got out, the reputation Zoey had worked so hard to maintain for the Earl of Silverstone's family would be lost overnight.
