Chapter 152 When Trust Tilts
+5 Pearls
“Alfred, I really didn’t do it on purpose. When I was seeing my therapist, he suggested that I post more about my daily life online. He said I woould get blessings and feedbacks from viewers which could eventually help me to recover, so that’s why I posted,” Zocy said.
“And because I’m the happiest when I’m with you, I accidentally filmed you. I never expected people to misunderstand our relationship or say such awful things about Nella.”
This time, Zoey had learned her lesson.
She had already sensed Alfred pulling away from her.
Before, she thought Alfred didn’t care about Nella at all, which was why she kept provoking her openly.
But after this incident, she realized she had gone too far.
If she didn’t fix things now, Alfred would drift farther and farther away from her.
And then Nella would get to reap the benefits.
“Alfred, I’m really sorry.”
Zoey’s lips trembled. Her eyes, reddened from crying, made her look especially pitiful.
But Alfred simply stood there in silence, his mind filled with the vile, filthy comments he had seen online.
He’s not stupid enough to not use his brain to think.
It was just that his sense of responsibility toward Zoey had made him avoid thinking about it before.
Now, looking at Zoey’s expression and recalling what Nella had said, he suddenly asked, “Did you have anything to do with what happened to Patrick?”
The moment Alfred spoke, Zoey’s face changed drastically.
Norris and Eileen both turned to look at him, their expressions darkening at the same time.
“Alfred, do you really think I could be that cruel? How could I possibly harm my own brother?”
“That’s right, Alfred. Even if … even if you want to stand up for your wife, you can’t just slap such a vicious accusation on Zoey,” Eileen added unhappily from the side.
Alfred didn’t look at Eileen or Zoey. Instead, his gaze landed on Norris.
“Norris, because Zoey once saved me, the Keywoods have given the Macks plenty of benefits. But there’s something I need you to understand. Nella is my wife. She and I are a unit. I’ll get to the bottom of this
matter…”
He deliberately paused, then shifted his gaze to Zoey, who had forgotten to control her expression in shock.
“And Zoey, I also hope this has nothing to do with you.”

Chapter 152 When Trust Tilts
Zoey’s face went deathly pale.
Her hands at her sides clenched tightly.

She bit down on her lower lip, tears pooling in her eyes, this time carrying a trace of genuine emotion.
“So you believe what Nella said, don’t you?”
Impatience flickered in Alfred’s eyes. He rubbed his tired brow and said, “Nella wouldn’t lie.”
Hearing that, Zoey’s face turned even worse.
What had started as a staged breakdown now seemed to truly hit her.
Tears poured from her eyes as she shouted at Alfred, “So you think I’m a liar, huh?!”
Alfred said nothing, the nameless irritation in his chest continuing to spread.
“Take good care of her. If you need anything, contact my assistant.”
With that, Alfred turned to leave.
Zoey grabbed the hem of his clothes.
She looked at him pitifully. “Alfred, are you really going to abandon me?”
