All of them stared at Zoey intently as suspense filled the air.
Just when Meredith was about to comment, Fred cut her off. “Let her speak for herself.”
When she saw that everyone’s attention was focused on her, Zoey took a deep breath and exclaimed, “No! I’m unwilling to do so.”
Turning to Landyn, Zoey apologized. “Landyn, I’m sorry to have disappointed you. But Levi is the one I love.”
“If you were unwilling, why did you come?” someone yelled.
“The Black family forced Ms. Lopez to do so,” Sylas explained.
Boom!
Meredith and Robert closed their eyes in despair.
It’s over! It’s truly over.
The Gates family was a lot more powerful than the Caesar family.
Just a word from Kurt alone could close all doors on the Black family, destroying them as a result.
The atmosphere became silent as everyone awaited the incoming storm.
Finally, Fred exclaimed, “You’re unwilling? Just like that?”
Immediately, he changed the subject. Lowering his voice, he growled, “Tell me then, what should the Gates family do now?”
“We have publicized the engagement banquet throughout South City and South Hampton. Even now, there are tons of people outside. Tell me, how is the Gates family going to walk away from this without being humiliated?”
The other members of the Gates family joined in and yelled, “Tell us! Give us an answer!”
“I…” Zoey was stupefied by the amount of pressure being piled onto her.
She did consider the possibility of the current scenario occurring but didn’t have a solution for it.
