This was supposed to be a family meeting, but they excluded Aaron and Caitlyn.
They were afraid these two would oppose their course.
Nonetheless, Zoey’s words put frowns on everyone’s brows.
“What’s with you? Everyone agreed! Who do you think you are? You are in no place to betray your whole family.”
Meredith and Harry were infuriated at Zoey’s relentless resistance.
“It’s not that I don’t agree with y’all. Morris Group doesn’t belong to me, to begin with. It belongs to Levi. Besides,
there are also other major shareholders. This is not something I can decide on my own,” Zoey retorted.
“Stop giving excuses! The company is still under you even if it belongs to Levi. He’s your husband, so you’ll have to
make a decision for him with his condition now.”
Jennie’s harsh remarks vexed Forlevia.
“Don’t talk to my mom like that!”
Meanwhile, Zoey smirked listening to their remarks. “I know you guys have an ulterior motive, so stop giving me all
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis bullsh*t about working together as three families for the common good. All of you have your eyes set on Morris
Group, isn’t it?”
“So what? I admit it. Morris Group is what we want.” Henry was not even trying to hide his greed and anger.
“You can’t just enjoy a good life yourself and not care about your family. This is what you owe the Lopez and the
Black family.”
They knew they could not conceal their true colors anymore, so they became shamelessly blatant about their
demand, but Zoey was fixed on defending what was hers.
“Then let me say this once and for all. There’s no way I’m giving up Morris Group.”
With that said, she carried Forlevia in her arms and left.
“Fine! Go ahead then, but let me warn you, we will never acknowledge that child as one of us.”
Jennie’s voice rang loud and clear as Zoey and her daughter walked out the door.
“What did you just say?”
Zoey stopped and turned around slowly, drilling her gaze through everyone present.
Her reaction emboldened Jennie. “Isn’t she Levi’s child? Why does she use your surname then?”
“This is none of your business,” Zoey cut her off tritely, glaring at them.
“None of our business?” Harry interrupted, “I’m the head of the Lopez family. I decide who uses the family’s name.”
“What?”
Zoey stared at him in disbelief.
“I reserve the right to strip her of our family name.”
Harry stared right back at her.
“Yeah! There’s no way Levi’s child take our family name. He’s not in the position to do so.”
Everyone in the Lopez family agreed in unison.
“She’s not using the Blacks’ surname either,” Meredith quickly added when she saw everyone agreeing.
Contrary to everyone’s reaction, Felix smiled. “Well, you can name her after the Zachs’. That’s up to you.”
Levi’s daughter taking the Zachs’ surname? Are you for real?
Zoey stared at Felix in disbelief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI’d only let my daughter take the Lopez’s or the Black’s surname and nothing else besides these two!
Unless…
Zoey stood helpless before the scheming crowd.
She knew they would find some leverage against her when she refused to cooperate with them, but she was still
appalled when they targeted her child.
Since they were adamant about Forlevia not inheriting neither the family name of the Blacks nor the Lopezes, and
that it would be ridiculous for her to take any other families’ name, Zoey was caught in a sticky situation.
At that, she could only let Forlevia take after Levi’s family name. She would be one of the Garrisons, yet Zoey
instantly recalled the Garrison family’s warning.
They said Levi’s children should never be allowed to take their family name.
Thus, this was never an option.
It was apparent that they wanted to corner Zoey to wits’ end.
“Well, Zoey, there’s a way out. Forlevia can take whichever surname she likes if you agree to let Morris Group come
under the three families.”
