“What’s going on?” Eowyn asked.

“Something’s come up. I’m meeting Nicolas’s mother, and it just happens to be at this hotel,” Zoya said. “You go to the party; I’ll be there shortly.”

“All right, but your mother–in–law is not exactly a nice person. If she suddenly asks to meet you at a hotel, you better be careful,” Eowyn warned.

“I know.” Zoya smiled and looked down at her phone, where Anica had sent a text thoughtfully. [Please pick up the room key at the hotel’s front desk.]

Meanwhile, in the party hall, when Jasmine saw Eowyn enter alone, a small smile tugged at her lips. ‘So they really did lure Zoya away.

‘If Zoya wants that 30 million dollars, we’ll see whether she’s got what it takes.

‘If she fails, she won’t just lose the money. She’ll be ruined, and by then even if Nicolas refuses to divorce her, he won’t be able to hold on.‘

On the twelfth floor, Anica and Violette waited anxiously in the shadows.,

“Why isn’t Zoya here yet? It’s been half an hour. Maybe she’s playing us and won’t show,” Violette fretted. After all, they were all set.

“She’ll come if she still wants that 30 million dollars,” Anica replied with conviction.

In Anica’s view, Zoya was an unremarkable woman. ‘How could she not be tempted by such a huge sum?‘ she thought.

At that moment, Zoya appeared, and both women brightened.

Seeing Zoya in an elegant gown, Violette was getting jealous. “Zoya looks poised and sharp, almost like a socialite.

‘Socialite my foot. The prettier she looks now, the more miserable she’ll be later!

At that thought, a malicious smile crossed her face as Violette watched Zoya use the key card to open the room and walk in.

‘Okay, mission accomplished.‘ Violette told herself. ‘Next, I get to watch her beg and humiliate herself and clear away all the scorn I took at the company.

I’m the company owner’s sister, a top graduate from a real university. My brother even trusted me to lead projects as the supervisor.

‘But those employees–every chance they get, they bring up how great Zoya was, how smooth things ran when she was around.

“The way they look at me, it’s obvious they don’t respect me. What’s so special about Zoya anyway?

‘I can’t wait to see their faces once they find out how pathetic she ends up. Let’s see what they’ll say then!

Soon, Violette’s phone buzzed. Her smile grew even brighter as she said to her mother, “Mom, it’s done. We can go in now.”

The two women stepped into room 1205 and found Zoya slumped at the bedside, utterly weakened.

Two burly men standing nearby stepped forward and, with oily grins, told Anica and Violette. “She walked in and inhaled some knockout gas. She hasn’t got the strength to struggle.”

Violette gave a satisfied laugh and leaned toward Zoya proudly. “Didn’t see that coming, did you? You actually thought you’d get 30 million dollars just because you think you’d get divorced? Dream on.”

Gasping for breath, Zoya looked at them with a cold gaze. “Is this what you called me here to talk about?”

Anica glared at her with hatred. “Who told you to be so greedy, wanting 30 million dollars? That money was all earned by my son. You won’t get a single cent.”

Zoya felt ridiculous. After three years of marriage, everything given to Nicolas and his family counted for nothing to them.

What felt truly laughable was that Zoya had once believed they were family, and she had poured everything she had into treating them well.

“All right, you two can have fun with her. Make her suffer as much as possible,” Violette ordered the two men.

Zoya had given him chances, time and again, but each time she was left feeling colder.

Zoya lifted her head and faced Anica and Violette. “We were family for three years. If this ends here, I can let it go.”

“You think you can let it go?” Violette sneered maliciously. “Even if I agreed, these gentlemen would not. I only picked two strong men for you out of ‘family‘ consideration.”

Zoya lowered her eyes. Hidden by the skirt, the phone continued dialing, unnoticed by everyone. In a corner of the room a tiny camera was recording everything.

She had set that micro camera up after receiving Anica’s call.

When she smelled the knockout gas upon entering, Zoya held her breath and planted the camera in the corner without drawing attention.

She had not expected this level of filth. Now Zoya had also breached the hotel’s network with her phone.

If Nicolas was at the party here, he would see his mother and sister’s true faces with his own eyes.

Zoya’s fingers flew over the screen.

Back in the party hall, Nicolas and Jasmine approached Wren.

Nicolas greeted. “Mr. Richmond, hello. I’m Nicolas Mayer of Mayer Technology. We didn’t get a proper chance to talk at the stables last time-”

Before he could finish, someone near the screen called out, “What’s wrong with that screen? Is there a problem?”

Then a voice Nicolas knew well rang out. “Hurry up. I want her to walk away with nothing, stripped of everything.”

Nicolas froze. It was his mother’s voice.
