I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 356

The butler immediately averted his gaze, a cold chill racking his body.

Whoever had driven the young woman to such a state was beyond cruel. This wasn't just abuse; it bordered on psychological murder.

How could a human being be so purely evil?

"Zoe never breathed a word of this to us. She's always so strong and brave when she's here... my poor, sweet girl," Sylvia wept until her voice gave out, collapsing into her husband's arms.

Panic erupted. The maids, Mr. Kendall, and Arthur frantically called for the family doctor. They desperately tried to revive her with smelling salts until she finally gasped for air.

Once Sylvia regained a fraction of her strength, she sat up, wiping her tears. But the sorrow in her eyes had been replaced by a chilling, venomous glare.

"Dropping this filth at our doorstep... are they trying to warn us that our Zoe was bullied, or do they have some sickening, ulterior motive?"

Arthur paced back and forth, leaning heavily on his cane. Mr. Kendall remained still, his expression unreadable, but he already knew the answer.

Whoever sent this was either deeply concerned for Zoe and wanted her protectors to know the truth, or—much more likely—they were trying to humiliate her, assuming the Kendalls would cast her out for having a scandalous past.

"The elite circle in this city isn't that large," Mr. Kendall said quietly, holding his wife close and rubbing her shoulders to calm her trembling.

"Find them. I want to know exactly who dropped this garbage at my door."

Arthur gripped his cane with white knuckles, dropping heavily onto the sofa. His face was a mask of sheer fury.

If he found out who was operating in the shadows trying to destroy his granddaughter, the Kendall family would absolutely strip the flesh from their bones.

Sylvia took a few deep breaths, forcing her posture straight. In an instant, she transformed back into the untouchable matriarch of high society.

"Darling, Dad... I'm going to host a gala. I'll invite every prominent socialite and wife in the city.

"Whoever knows Zoe's history this intimately has to be someone in her immediate orbit. If they wanted to tip us off to ruin her, they're expecting a fallout. If they thought they were doing us a favor, they'll want to see the results. Either way, the rat who sent this will definitely show up to my party."

She was going to drag the monster out into the light, dead or alive.
