Zoey's seven years weighed heavily on Fitch. How many sets of seven years does a woman get in a lifetime? Even if Fitch had the

slightest bit of concern for Zoey, how could he dismiss those years as nothing?

That thought was like a thorn in his heart.

Now, all Wendy had to do was sever the ties between them once and for all.

"Let it go, Fitch. I'm being discharged from the hospital today anyway."

However, the call from the Haskins family cat that very moment. The spectacle Belinda had caused at the last cocktail party

had caught Mr. Haskins' eye, and the previous night, he had summoned Fitch to his study to ask if there was any truth to the rumor

that he and Zoey had been an item.

Without a second thought, Fitch denied it. He and Zoey had never been in a relationship. The most he could admit was having

humiliated her over a few hundred thousand dollars - which was nothing, not even enough to call her a lover.

Fitch was the heir apparent to the Haskins family, the one with the most say in the family, but he still held immense respect for his

grandfather.

"Fitch," Mr. Haskins had said, "as long as you know what you're doing. Since you've decided to be with that Wendy girl, I don't care

what other dalliances you have, just cut them off. And as for Zoey's family."

He'd frowned, his disdain for Belinda still fresh.

A family like the Haskins would never mingle with such people.

"l understand, Grandpa."

Now Mr. Haskins was calling again, likely to inquire about Wendy's injury. After all, it had happened at a Haskins event, and they

felt somewhat responsible.

Wendy's eyes sparkled as she got the chance to ingratiate herself.
