The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Seeing that Carrie dared to retort, Zoe was so infuriated that her manicured nails dug into the flesh of her palm.

If it were not for all the people around, she would have slapped Carrie.

Zoe took a deep breath, her crimson lips curling into a wicked smile as she leaned close to Carrie's ear and whispered mockingly, "That's right. You're not a fool. You're just mentally ill." Mentally ill.

Carrie's mind rang with a deafening buzz, a cold sweat soaking through her pristine white cotton dress.

Meanwhile, the piano on stage began to play.

The melodious music filled her ears. However, it only intensified her mental anguish.

"Carrie, you desperately want to be my brother's wife and the Young Madam of the Hoffman family. But do you think you're worthy of being his wife? You know what your illness is like. Do you think you can bear a healthy child for my brother?"

Zoe struck Carrie's most vulnerable spot with each word.

She lowered her head, her eyes moist and red. Her dress was wrinkled by her tightly clenched fingers, mirroring her heart's turmoil.

"My brother isn't just your lover. He's also the heir to the entire Hoffman Group. He'll also be the future head of the family."

Zoe maintained a composed and dignified demeanor, her voice icy. "My father's final wish before he passed was for the Hoffman family to become prestigious for generations. If you aspire to be the wife of the heir, you must be able to bear children to continue the family line. How confident are you that you can give my brother a healthy child? What if your child inherits your illness? Do you want the Hoffman bloodline to end with my brother? Do you want him to become the laughingstock of Savrow?"
