"Zoe, do you have any evidence?" Barton looked at Zoe. The conflict on his face was very evident. "You'd better not speak carelessly. It's a grave accusation you are making."

"Exactly! Do you have any evidence?" Jean butted in triumphantly. "Miss Lin, you have done a very disgusting act, and now you want to frame me. I tell you, what you're saying is absurd."

Barton looked expectantly at Zoe. Deep in his heart, he was hoping that she had something to back her claim.

Zoe smiled bitterly, defeat in her eyes, and weakly replied, "I don't have any evidence.

I just heard everything from Mr. Huang. If it's true, then..."

"Dad, did you hear that?" Jean could taste the victory in her lips. She managed to worm her way out, and cast Zoe in a bad light. "How could she badmouth me? Dad, I will never allow a woman like her to marry into our family."

"Zoe, I..." Barton still wanted to say something, but Jean pulled him away with such force. "Let's go, Dad. Stop talk

d yet, you insist on pinning me as the guilty party. I demand that you refrain from using those words to describe me."

"Why not?" Jean sneered. "The reason why I don't want an investigation is that I want to save your face. When the truth really comes out, everyone will know you for the trash that you are.

I'm warning you to stay away from my father from now on. You're not welcome in our family."

"Enough!" Barton had enough of this unnecessary cat fight. "I'll listen to Terence and make sure to investigate it.

In this way, I won't be making a grievous judgment. But whoever comes out as guilty will surely not escape my wrath. We must find it out the truth of this matter."

"Dad..." Jean was visibly uncomfortable at this idea.

Meanwhile, a smile of relief finally appeared on Zoe's pale face.

At this point, Barton could only trust Terence. He placed his arm on his shoulder and said, "I'm taking Zoe to the hospital now. Please take care of the rest."
