12. "Meeting Again"
"I will do my best to persuade Victoria to apologize to you."
Martin assured Zoe that he would try his hardest to convince Victoria to say sorry to her.
Zoe was looking forward to witnessing Victoria swallow her pride and apologize publicly. Unfortunately, Victoria's words at the party left everyone stunned.
"Mr. Cadell, if you want us to stay engaged, you'll have to ask Zoe to leave your house."
Zoe's mouth hung wide open. Even Mikhail was taken aback by what his sister had just revealed.
Meanwhile, Martin was speechless. He had purposely kept this information private to protect Zoe's reputation.
How did Victoria find out about this?
In a matter of moments, whispers filled the room.
"Oh, my goodness. That woman is staying in Martin's house?"
"I thought he was supposed to be engaged to Victoria?"<
