Chapter 406 She Had Nothing to Lose As Yael was spouting threats , Zoey interrupted him , Regret ? What the hell are you saying ! Yael was stunned by her outburst .
Hed heard rumors about her being a woman supposedly unloved by her husband for years and driven to despair by Nina to the point of attempting suicide .
Had she finally snapped and decided to go off the rails ? Or had she been pushed into full on madness ? The thought that these two men were among the killers of Chloe filled Zoey with anger .
However , they couldnt do anything to her in the middle of a public space .
Two grown men wouldnt resort to hitting a woman , right ? Actually , she hoped they would if they dared , shed play dead on the spot .
Shed make sure to ruin them financially and land them in prison ! This was the classic scenario of someone who had nothing to lose .
While the Carlyn brothers excelled at sneaky attacks from the shadows , Zoey laid everything out in the open .
Come on , lets hurt each other and see who comes out on top ! She had two lives , four parents , and eight grandparents she could afford to be cocky ! If she could take down these villains before her time was up , it would make her second chance at life worthwhile .
For Chloe , every passing day was a countdown .
But for Zoey , every day since her rebirth was a bonus .
Trading one enemy for her own life was a bargain ; taking out two was a steal .
She had nothing left to fear .
Her father had repented and would no longer harm her mother .
Her mother now had children and two men who deeply loved her she would live the rest of her life in happiness .
Zoey , on the other hand , had no lover , and no dreams for the future .
She feared nothing .
Taylor tried to defuse the tension , smiling diplomatically .
Since they werent in his basement now , he had to respect the Pearsons , Mrs.
Pearson , my brothers young and a bit overly dramatic .
Dont take it to heart .
Overly dramatic ? This goes beyond that ! Mute Girl ? Whats next ? Did she sell her soul to your family ? Ive seen bound feet , but never bound brains .
Does she have no legs or no name ? 1/4 14:31 Mon , Dec 30 268 % 1 Chapter 406 She Had Nothing to Lose unsure how to respond .
+8 Pearls Zoey circled them like a predator stalking prey .
Yael , you act all weird about that woman , and as for you- your control over your fiancée is downright creepy .
You two arent secretly trafficking people , are you ? Taylors smile almost cracked .
Mrs.
Pearson , you must be joking .
Zoey leaned in .
Whitney , has this guy been restricting your freedom ? If so , Ill report him right now and have him arrested .
No , Mrs.
Pearson , Whitney played along , hes my fiancé .
He just worries too much about me .
Taylor smiled again .
See ? No need for wild accusations Zoey chuckled , but her tone was firm .
Alright , then .
From now on , Ill visit Whitney every day .
You have no say in it .
Taylor was at a loss for words .
He felt like he had been tricked .
Zoey remained carefree , utterly unbothered by the drama surrounding her .
She didnt know the missing person in question , so why should she care ? Turning to Whitney , Zoey suggested , Whitney , were done here .
Lets go grab some barbecue .
I saw a place nearby with amazing reviews .
Taylor opened his mouth to interject but was immediately shut down .
Hush ! Let Whitney decide does she want barbecue ? Under Taylors watchful gaze , Whitney nervously replied , C Could we not do barbecue ? Anything else is fine .
Sure ! How about pizza ? Whitney paled further , looking like she might faint .
Okay , roast chicken ? She shook her head again .
Exotic food ? Another shake .
Zoey didnt lose patience .
Alright , then how about some soup ? Something light for the stomach .
This time , Whitney nodded .
Yes , soup sounds good .
Taylor hesitated but held his tongue .
Zoey shot him a look .
Its a girls day out .
Youre her fiancé , not her shadow .
Taylor remained silent .

What brings you to the show ? Any plans afterward ? I booked us a table at a Western restaurant- Still fuming , Zoey snapped , Dont you have anything better to do? Are you a shadow too ? With that , she handed all her shopping bags to Harlans assistant , looped her arm through Whitneys , and walked off without looking back .
Taylor glanced sympathetically at Harlan .
Mr.
Pearson , is Mrs.
Pearson always like this at home ? In the past , Harlan would have been livid .
But recently , hed developed an odd tolerance for Zoeys antics .
Instead of anger , a smile tugged at his lips .
What do you know ? This is what I call fun .
Taylor was speechless .
These two were insane .
And now theyd taken Whitney with them .
Standing in the shadows , Yaels expression darkened .
Whitney wanted to look back , but Zoey gripped her arm and whispered , Dont look .
Just come with me .
Even if I cant get you out of here yet , I can at least make you happy .
Is Chloe … Shes safe , dont worry .
But what about you ? Whitney gave a small , indifferent smile .
Its fine .
He wont kill me .
Outside the venue , Whitney looked up at the sun shining overhead .
She smiled as its warmth enveloped her .
For the first time , she felt truly alive .
Is the soup kitchen far away ? she asked .
Zoey grinned .
Not at all .
Just a five minute walk .
Zoey not only took Whitney out for a meal but also for a shopping spree .
Though Whitney never lacked clothing , everything in her wardrobe had either been handpicked by Taylor or delivered by others .
Most of the tags hadnt even been removed .
She didnt have events to attend , people to meet , or any reason to dress up .
Naturally , she had no desire for shopping trips , let alone visiting a mall to pick out clothes .
Yet , on this day , both women seemed like teenage girls again .
Zoey helped her pick out clothes .
At first , Whitney seemed stiff and reserved , unsure how to act .
But oradually her mood lightened and a snark of life returned to her eynression 3/4 14:31 Mon , Dec 30 Chapter 406 She Had Nothing to Lose Harlan and Taylor followed closely behind , carrying shopping bags for the two of them .
2468 % +8 Pearls Taylor couldnt help but notice how Whitney smiled more and more as the day went on .
Without a doubt , she was happy .
He thought back to the day they took their wedding photos .
Shed only managed a faint , reluctant smile after he threatened her .
Yet now , she smiled so effortlessly .
Harlan , too , found himself smiling , feeling drawn to this lively , animated version of Zoey .

However , Zoeys attitude toward him hadnt changed one bit .
She still disliked him as much as ever .
When she turned and caught sight of the grin on his face , she shoved a pile of clothes into his hands and muttered , What are you smiling about ? Are you trying to be a clown ? 108 1
