Xavier was about to reach the bridge by then. He called Yvette, yet her line was always busy. She must have seen the news about Zachary since it was now on trending topics. He hoped that she was alright. Several boats have been dispatched to the river to prevent Zachary from falling in. There was also a helicopter on its way over.

They were running out of time. Derek looked up at the helicopter, unable to make a decision.

Zoey was also keeping an eye on the online articles. "They're so stupid! Not even a helicopter and boats would be able to save the child! Why isn't Derek cutting the rope yet? That's something that can be done within seconds!" Gemma glanced at the online articles before looking at Zoey. "Did the child offend you too, Zoey?"

Startled, Zoey only then remembered the need to maintain her persona. "You didn't know about this, Mom, but that child might not even belong to the Lane family!"

"You want him dead just because he isn't part a Lane?" Gemma couldn't comprehend how someone she had raised herself could be so ruthless.

Yet Zoey replied, "Aren't you the one who taught me to eliminate the root of the problem, Mom? If we let her son go, he might find out that we've disfigured his mother's face when he grows up. What would we do if he seeks me out for revenge in the future?" Gemma had indeed taught her to eliminate the root of the problem, but she shouldn't be killing off just anyone. Zoey had wanted to kill Yvette all because the latter had seduced her fiancé.

"Just this once, Zoey." Suddenly, Gemma felt that she had been too quick in trusting Zoey's words this time.

Yvette was a mother. Someone who would harm herself for the sake of her own child was unlikely to try to seduce someone else's fiancé.

"I'm calling Derek. Why isn't he picking up?" Zoey started calling Derek nonstop when she saw that Zachary was still alive.
