“And haven’t you noticed that Alfred has been a bit impatient with you lately? The most urgent thing right now isn’t figuring out how to deal with Nella, but how to win Alfred’s heart back.”

Only then did unease and anxiety finally surface on Zoey’s reluctant face.

She frowned, worry flickering in her eyes.

“Yeah. I don’t know what kind of spell that bitch Nella cast on Alfred. Lately, he’s been taking her side every time, and it’s ruined my plans.”

Zoey’s words made Eileen’s expression change. She instinctively retorted, “How could that be? Even if I’m not his biological mother, I raised him from childhood. I’ve been good to him.”

“Can’t be so sure.”

Zoey blinked. “If Patrick finds out his mother was driven to death by you, do you think he’d still be kind to you?”

Zoey’s words startled Eileen so badly that she sprang up from the couch. “H-how do you know about that?”
