I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 195

She had never been so humiliated in front of the Thorne family before.

The extended family generally had a good impression of her—or at least, she liked to think they did.

She portrayed herself as gentle, beautiful, and talented, deeply loved by the late Charles and exclusively favored by Hayden.

Whenever the relatives gathered, they would always use her to put Zoe down.

"Grandmother—"

Sienna stammered, unable to find an excuse.

Hayden's brows furrowed deeply.

"It's not a big deal. Kids play rough sometimes. Besides, Sienna already compensated her for the car with eight hundred thousand dollars. That's more than enough."

He shot Zoe a sharp, warning glare, silently commanding her to keep her mouth shut.

Hearing that Sienna had paid for the damage softened Grandmother Thorne's anger slightly.

But Holden's blatant lack of respect still disgusted her.

If Holden weren't the only great-grandson of the Thorne family, and if Charles were still alive, she would have severely punished the boy for acting so wildly out of line.

"Zoe, is Hayden telling the truth?"

Grandmother Thorne looked to Zoe for confirmation.

Zoe knew that if she threw them under the bus now, Hayden would definitely bail on the parent-teacher conference.

She had no choice but to play along.

"Yes, she paid."

"And what about pushing Lily?"

Seeing the old woman digging deeper, Zoe knew that if this continued, every horrible thing Holden had done to Lily would be dragged into the light.

If that happened, Sienna wouldn't be able to talk her way out of it.

Grandmother Thorne never hid her preferences. If she liked you, she loved you. If she hated you, you were done.
