Chapter 166 She Could Tell
“Nella, what do you mean by that? Are you deliberately trying to push Zoey to her death
Compared to Eileen’s unreasonable outburst, Nella remained calm and composed.

“I’m only protecting my legal rights and my reputation. If Ms. Mack’s condition worse because of this, I happen to know a mental health specialist and can recommend one to her.”
Every word Nella spoke was firm and unyielding.
Her posture stayed straight, showing not the slightest sign of backing down.
As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Zoey, whose face was dark with gloom, and she offered hera gentle smile.
“Depression is a life-threatening condition. If that therapist treated you for so long without results, it just means they weren’t very competent. Ms. Mack, my suggestion is for you to switch to a new doctor and actually get treated instead of dodging the problem.”
“You little…”
Zoey clenched her teeth in fury at Nella’s calm, effortless delivery.
And what made her even angrier was how familiar those words sounded.
That’s right.
That day in Alfred’s office, Alfred said almost the exact same thing.
What the hell?
Are they trying to show me they’re perfectly in sync as husband and wife, and they’re even saying the same things now?
The more Zoey thought about it, the angrier she got. Her gaze shifted uncontrollably toward Alfred.
She happened to catch him pressing his lips together, trying to hold back a smile, yet still unable to hide the upward curve at the corner of his mouth.
“Alfred…”
Zoey cried out to him, her voice trembling. “Does Nella really want to push me to death. before she’s satisfied?”
The curve at Alfred’s lips slowly faded.

He straightened up and finally turned his gaze back to Nella.
Nella noticed his look and met his eyes.
Before Alfred could speak, she cut in first.
“I don’t agree.”
She guessed Zoey had gotten to him and that he was about to tell her to let it go
But why should she?
She was easygoing and didn’t like to argue, but that didn’t make her a pushover.
To frame her, Zoey had dragged her parents into it too. They were torn apart online by countless vicious insults.
They had done nothing wrong. They devoted themselves to education and research. They’d never abused their authority or harmed anyone.
Yet because their daughter had staked her marriage on love, and because that man had a scheming childhood friend, they were dragged online and subjected to abuse.
Why should I give in? Nella asked herself that in her heart.
