Chapter 320 To Err Is Human
But Rose didn't say a word either, just like she did when Doris was hurt.
She also thought that Zoe could change her mistakes, but... She had thought too much.
This kind of person wouldn't know where they were wrong without punishment, and they wouldn't correct their mistakes.
When Zoe saw that they paid no attention to her, she burst into tears and choked, "Even if you don't care about me, my mother and father will not approve of you sending me to a place like the Sahara."
"What difference does it make whether they agree or not? Do you think they can change my decision? Zoe, don't be naive. There is only one chance. If you don't cherish it, you will get double punishments. This is what you asked for." Bright's tone was light, but powerful.
"Give me another chance, I will certainly change myself." Zoe held up her fingers with a firm look on her face. "I swear I will never offend Rose or Doris again. I will stay away from them, and I will disappear from where they are, OK? I'll do what I said. Please don't send me to the Sahara..."
Zoe was crying her eyes out. She would do anything to save her life.
"What a noise. Did the men come?" Bright frowned and said, "Take her away."
Zoe forgot to cry for a second. Her eyes were wide open and her soul seemed to be out of her body.
Bill asked the people who were outside to come in and came next to Zoe.
The two tall men grabbed Zoe, like a net that surrounded her. Zoe's heart had been falling to the bottom of the valley and was about to be smashed.
"Bright, Mr. Lee, I beg you, don't drive me to that place!" Zoe was completely panicked and her eyes were swollen with crying, but Bright didn't show any mercy.
Bright was obviously impatient and he didn't want to hear Zoe crying.
Bill, who knew Bright's mind, immediately winked at the two men, who got Zoe off the ground and kept pulling her out quickly.
"Bright, you can't do this to me! Bright..." Zoe shouted over her shoulder, glaring at Rose, "Rose, you bitch. You won't have a good ending! I curse you to have a miserable end..."
The man covered Zoe's mouth to prevent her from saying anything that would upset Bright.
"What are you doing? Release Zoe!" Hallie happened to come here and saw two man drag Zoe out.
But when neither of them listened to her, Hallie added, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me? Or will you let her go until I ask Mr. Lee?" Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Bill stepped forward and said, "Ma'am, it's not up to you to decide. You'd better stay with Mr. Lee and not watch this here."
"Bill, you..." Hallie gasped, "Who gave you the nerve to touch my daughter?"
When Zoe saw her mother, she seemed to see a savior and asked her to save her with wide eyes.
"It's me, why?" Bright answered in time and raised his sharp eyebrows.
Hearing the sound, Hallie froze, then turned around and said, "Bright... Are you awake?"
"Yes, I am. I am luckier than my eldest brother. I have not lain down for so many years." Bright's eyes lit up with a smile. "Did I let Ms. Hallie down?"
"I... How come? I'm really glad you woke up. Your father passed out because he was too worried about you. He'd be glad to hear the good news when he woke up." Hallie looked very pale. She felt embarrassed when facing Bright because Bright had never shown his stepmother any respect.
"Bright, what did Zoe do to offend you so that you treat her like this?" Hallie changed the subject.
"She is repeat her mistakes and has touched my bottom line." Bright told her, "You love her and indulge her, but I won't."
"Zoe must be confused for a while. Please let her go for my sake. Your father and I will discipline her," Hallie begged.
"I won't do it give face to my father again and again." Bright eyes were deep and merciless. "Scolding won't work. Punishment is more memorable."
"Take her away. Mr. Lee needs rest."
The men were about to take Zoe away when Hallie stretched out her arms, "If you're going to take her away, step on me!"
"Mom, help me, help me!" Zoe bit the hand of the man who covered her mouth, and said, "Mom, they're sending me to the Sahara. I don't want to go there! No!"
"Zoe, don't worry, Mom wouldn't let you go there. I will save you even if it risks my life!" Hallie promised.
"Mom..." Zoe's tears grew stronger.
"Bright, I beg you to let my daughter go." Hallie walked over to Bright and said, "It's my fault that I didn't educate her well. I would like to apologize to Rose for her mistake and take the punishment. Please don't take her away!"
After that, Hallie turned to Rose and bowed to her. "Rose," she said, "on behalf of Zoe, I apologize to you. I didn't educate well my daughter. It's my fault. You're a mother, too. You should understand my feelings, Rose... please persuade Bright. He will listen to you."
"Ms. Hallie, this is none of your business. You don't need to apologize to me for her." Rose helped her up, "It is true that we are both mothers, but if my daughter does something wrong, I will not protect her. Instead, I would let her realize her mistake and accept the due punishment, take responsibility, and be a person who can correct her mistakes. That's what mothers should do, and that's what daughters should do."
Hallie looked into Rose's eyes that were pure enough to make her feel selfish, but she couldn't be so selfless.
"But I can't." Hallie pressed her lips together, with tears in her eyes.
"You can't do it, so I'll do it for you." Bright answered for Rose.
Zoe was dragged out of the room, "Mom, help me, help me..."
Hallie watched Zoe disappear in the doorway. "Zoe!"
She then knelt down in front of Bright, startling Rose.
