Chapter 170 Making Them Lose Face on the Spot

When I spoke, not only did they doubt my words, but they also found it amusing

"What are you saying? Are you joking? Look, your name isn't on this list"

This was a personal competition, and many, like Sadie, entered to boost their visibility, so they used their

real names.

That's why Anna chose to use her real name instead of just "S".

Throughout the event, Zoey's name was never mentioned, so it was no surprise that Sadie dismissed my words.

Monica Gardner, the so-called "Hypocrita", covered her mouth and giggled. Zoey, I know you're proud and always

"Besides, you're married now. Focus on being a good wife and mother. There's no need to humiliate yourself... I mean, to gain some attention, and even bring shame to the Boltons." "For the Boltons, Zoey has always been a source of pride, never shame," Carter declared firmly.

He wasn't swayed by her words and countered, "Bill, no wonder I think Sadie is so petty in her speech and actions. With a mother like hers, it's no surprise she turned out this way."

If anyone else had spoken like that, Bill wouldn't have hesitated to snap back. But this was Carter, the new head of the Boltons.

Bill knew better than to underestimate him, especially with ongoing discussions about a possible partnership with the Boltons.

He had to hold back and show a bit of favoritism toward Monica and Sadie in his responses.

"Carter, you don't know. Zoey has never been as capable as Sadie, even since childhood. As harsh as it sounds, they're not entirely wrong."

"Not even understanding your own daughter, Bill, you're really not much of a father. It's no wonder even an illegitimate daughter dares to act so boldly in front of the real daughter. We're in a modern era, and now it's a trend for monogamy. Yet you still play the old game of favoring concubines and neglecting the wife."

Carter's words made Bill lose his composure. He wanted to defend himself, but Carter immediately took my hand and said, "It's okay, Darling. If the Gardners don't value you, I will"

Hearing his sweet words, I knew he was saying them on purpose to put Bill in an awkward spot, but I couldn't help feeling a warm joy in my heart.

Thank you, Honey," I replied playfully.

Hand in hand, we made our way toward my mom. Behind us, I heard Sadie muttering under her breath, "A cripple
