At the same time, on the stairs on the second floor, Vanny tugged at the corner of his father's clothes in confusion. "Dad, why aren't you going down? I saw Auntie arguing with someone!"

Wyatt lowered his head and glanced at Vanny. Before the cold light in his eyes could disperse, the child was startled. "Dad, what's wrong?"

He closed his eyes with difficulty to prevent himself from scaring the child. "I'm fine. Don't go down yet. Wait a moment."

"Don't let anything happen to you, or I will die of heartache!"

She had never said such a thing to him! It turned out that he had considered too much, hadn't he?

He stared fixedly at the person he loved and hated, and his mind was in a trance.

It was a rare thing for him.

Zoey, who was downstairs, seemed to have thought of something and looked up.

Before he could come back to his senses, his body had already retreated to the shadows as if he had sensed something.

He did not want to face her now, at least not now.

Zoey frowned. Was it her illusion? Why did she feel that he was looking at her?

"Did you hear me?" Howard said impatiently in a low voice when he saw that she was distracted. "Then you said that you didn't betray me. Then prove it to me now."

"Oh? How do I prove it?"

"How do you prove it? Of course, you should tell me about the latest movements of Wyatt. For example, to buy which company, to make which decisions, and so on. Can't you know these?" Howard was a little anxious.

Previously, because he had trusted her too much, he made many wrong decisions. So his status in the family had plummeted, but he could do nothing with his efforts. So he had no choice but to believe her again.

And her previous performance also gave him confidence.

All in all, he did not think that Zoey had the guts to betray him.

As long as he said something good, she would listen to him! He thought to himself.

His tone was arrogant. "Did you hear what I said?"

"I heard it, but I'm a little busy these days. I'm too busy to do it. So you might have to wait," she said.

Howard frowned unhappily. "How long do I have to wait?"

"Maybe you'll have to wait a few days. When the time comes, I'll think of a way to check his computer," she said as if she was wronged. "You're still talking about it. You didn't contact me at all. I've been missing you all this time."

"I miss you too, but we can't show it too clearly now. Is the jewelry I gave you last time not enough to express my feelings?" Howard's heart ached when he thought of that jewelry, not to mention that Ashley had fallen out with him. He had to spend a lot of effort coaxing her.

"I know. You treat me the best. By the way, I took a fancy to a set of rubies last time. Can I send you the link?" Zoey acted like a money-grubber.

"Alright, alright." Howard forced a smile. He had no choice but to agree.

Zoey was about to laugh in her heart. It seemed that it could make his heartache again, which was good.

Who told him not to stay at home and insist on knocking on her door? It served him right!

Even if Wyatt didn't allow her to wear it, it was good to make Howard uncomfortable. Right?

Ashley didn't know that Howard had sent out another set of jewelry while talking and was still bickering with Vivian. "You bastard! How dare you shout in front of me? Go back and see your mother quickly. You won't even know that she jumped off the building sometimes!"

This time, Vivian's expression changed. "Ashley, what are you saying? I will beat you to death!"

After she spoke, she wanted to rush up and tear Ashley's mouth apart.
