Chapter 89

"I know," Zoey sighed.

"When Mr. Windsor gets back, you should come clean with him," Claire said. "Otherwise, he might just be throwing his money away."

Claire said this because Zoey was the one who designed the bracelet.

Zoey had another identity: she was the famous designer Cindy. Her clothing and jewelry were a hit among the elite in many countries.

Zoey nodded. "Yeah, I'll tell him the truth when he returns."

She didn't want Henry wasting his money, even though dropping millions was like spending a few hundred bucks for him.

By the time they finished unwrapping the gifts, it was almost two o'clock.

Claire helped Zoey move all the clothes, jewelry, and bags to her dressing room.

"When you first got this apartment, I thought it was huge," Claire said. "But now it feels kinda small. With Mr. Windsor spoiling you like this, he's definitely going to buy you more stuff. Your wardrobe's gonna be overflowing soon."

"And those toys he got for your boys? They're piled up like a mountain in the living room. I bet he'll buy even more when he gets back. You should just move into his mansion. It's so big, you could store anything you want."

Zoey shook her head. "I'm not married to Mr. Windsor yet. I can't just move into his place. But don't worry, in less than a week, we'll be in a bigger house."

Claire's eyes widened. "Did you buy another one? How big is it?"

"In three days, my dad and the other two are moving out of the villa," Zoey replied. "Then we can move in. The villa originally belonged to my mom, and I transferred it to my name three years ago. After they plotted against me, I took the property deed abroad, allowing them to stay there for three more years."

Claire gave Zoey a thumbs up. "Zoey, you're amazing. I knew sticking with you would lead to a good life."

Zoey gently patted Claire's shoulder. "Of course. I'll share the good times with you, count on it."

Claire looked really touched.

In the morning, Arthur dismissed all the servants, leaving just him, Caroline, and Catherine.

Caroline complained, "Even if you wanted to fire them, you should've waited three more days. There's so much to pack. Are we supposed to do it all ourselves?"

Arthur said, "Sell what we can. There won't be much left. We can hire a moving company to pack everything."

Caroline felt sad and collapsed on the sofa, crying.

"Zoey is so ruthless. Does she only get satisfaction from seeing us reduced to beggars?"

Catherine, looking angry, said, "Dad, you should've killed her from the start. Then she wouldn't have had the chance to take revenge on us."

Arthur finally told them the truth. "Indeed. Anyway, Zoey isn't my daughter."

"What?"

Caroline and Catherine looked up in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

"Caroline, you saw my friend from Starlight City yesterday. Actually, I'm originally from there and used to work for the Chambers family. Zoey's mom, Odette Chambers, was actually Ophelia Chambers, a famous heiress of the Chambers family in Starlight City"

"Back then, Ophelia had a kid with some guy, so she broke off her engagement and came to Maple City. Her dad, Oscar, put out a ten million dollar reward for anyone who could find her."

He continued, "I came to Maple City for that ten million and eventually found Ophelia. But she refused to go back, saying someone in Starlight City wanted to harm her. She asked me to pretend to be her husband and promised me twenty-five percent of the company's shares."

"Her offer was way more tempting than the ten million, so I stayed. But three years later, Ophelia had an accident and died, and the company became mine."

Caroline finally got it. "So, Zoey is Oscar's granddaughter? If the Chambers family recognizes her, won't we be in even more trouble?"

Seeing Caroline's worried face, Catherine said, "Mom, Dad told us this because we're going to live a happy life in Starlight City."

"What?" Caroline was confused and looked at Catherine.

Arthur looked proudly at Catherine. "That's my girl, catching on quick."

"What are you two talking about? I don't get it." Caroline was anxious and urged them to explain more clearly.

Arthur said, "I plan to have Catherine impersonate Zoey and become Oscar's granddaughter. You don't know, although Oscar has a son, he's not very capable. Oscar originally favored his youngest daughter, Ophelia, as his heir."

"So if Catherine is recognized by the Chambers family, Oscar might favor her and make her the heir of the Chambers family."

Catherine was thrilled to hear this.

Now she finally understood why Arthur had always hated Zoey and even plotted against her life without hesitation.

It turned out Zoey wasn't his biological daughter.

She immediately assured Arthur, "Dad, don't worry. When I meet Oscar, I'll make sure to impress him. He'll see how great I am and consider me as the heir."

Arthur nodded in satisfaction.

Caroline, however, was still worried. "The Chambers family isn't just any family. How can they easily believe you? They'll definitely try to verify it. What if we get caught?"

Arthur sneered. "I was worried about that too. But in three days, Zoey will come to take the house. Then you can find a chance to pull a hair from her head. If the Chambers family has doubts, we can submit Zoey's hair. That way, we'll be foolproof."

His words finally eased Caroline's worries, and she looked relieved.

During breakfast, Zoey suddenly said, "I had a gut feeling someone was talking about me, my ears were burning." Claire said, "Could it be your dad talking bad about you behind your back?"

Zoey shook her head. "I don't know. Let them talk. After all, they can't live in such a big house anymore. It's normal for them to feel a sense of loss."
