The Clarke family, at dinner.
Having trespassed in the restricted zone, Joan was nervous, not even daring to breathe.
Zack had reminded her.
And the sign hanging on the door gave her chills down the back. Even thinking about it made her panic.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zack had been watching her since entering the door.
Joan regained her senses and looked up. With a faint smile, she said, "I am okay." Then she lowered her eyes in guilt.
"If you feel unwell, see a doctor." There was no particular concern in his tone,
Joan was not very happy when he heard it.
After a while, Zack remembered that someone in the family had been absent recently.
He remembered the words he said to Georgia in the study that day.
"Where's Georgia?"
Zack finally thought of Georgia. Over the days, he had put all his focus on Michelle.
Holding the fork, Joan raised her eyes, looked at him again, and asked with some expectation, "Georgia got a new play. She's been on the set recently. Is there anything?"
"Nope."
A flash of sadness flashed in the middle-aged woman's heart. Her son was retarded. Only Georgia could inherit the Clarke Group.
But he never proposed for she to join the company. She didn't even have the chance to get to know the business.
Joan was anxious, "Zack, don't you want Georgia to help you at work?"
"Nope." Zack directly refused, "Girls don't need to be so strong. She can enjoy her life and do whatever she likes, such as filming."
Joan knew that he didn't regard Georgia as his daughter at all. He gave her money but never made plans for her.
"I'm worried that you are too tired without a helper," Joan explained, showing her good intentions.
Zack, who was eating, blurted out, "But I have Tristan, isn't he helping? "
