Hearing this, Zena was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say at the moment.
"Zena..."
Zena took a deep breath, clenched her fists and said, "Dad, I just feel that I can't give up like this."
Albert sighed and shook his head, "What should I say?" Saying this, he became a little angry, "At the beginning, your mother and I didn't agree with you to be a designer, but you insisted, so we could only let you do what you wanted. We hoped that you would come back to the company when you got tired of it..."
Before Albert could finish his words, Zena said excitedly, "I didn't get tired of it! It's Jimmy! He didn't allow me to be a designer anymore!"
Albert went berserk, "Is that so? I think it's a good thing! Just take this opportunity and work in the company! I won't say anything else!"
Zena's eyes were brimming with tears, "I said that I don't want it! If I give up like this, how will others think of me in the future?" She didn't want to disgrace herself!
"Isn't taking over Meng Company better than managing your small studio?"
"What's wrong with my studio? In my opinion, it's much more interesting than Meng Company!" Zena roared and stared at her father, "Dad, are you not going to help me?"
Albert's face darkened, and his eyes dimmed. In his heart, he was very helpless, and he was disappointed in his only daughter. When Zena insisted on learning design that year, he was not as disappointed as he was at this moment.
At this time, he only felt that Zena, whom he used to be proud of, was no longer like a charming and polite lady. She was just like a shrew.
Perhaps it was inappropriate to use the word "shrew" to describe his own daughter, but he really thought that at least at this moment, she was really like a shrew.
"Zena, I've tried my best."
It was not a long sentence, but Zena took a long time to digest it.
A few seconds went by, but to Zena, every second appeared like a year in length. She came to sense from shock and disappointment, looked up with tears in her eyes and smiled faintly at Albert, "Well, I know."
She had guessed this result, but she just didn't want to give up. In the end, she got upset again.
She asked for it...
"This time, it's my fault and I've been punished. However, dad, I'm not willing to accept this." Saying this, Zena raised her head and tried her best not to let her tears pour down.
She sniffed. When she felt a little better, she looked at Albert again and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't help me. I'll find a way myself."
Albert frowned, "What can you do?" He was afraid that she would do something bad. He said worriedly, "Zena, don't do stupid things."
What he feared the most was that Zena would lose her mind in such a situation and then do something bad again. After all, she was really irrational at the moment.
If a person was really overwhelmed by fury, he... could do anything, couldn't he?
Hearing this, Zena smiled gently, "What stupid things can I do?"
"Zena, listen to me, I..."
"You can go in now. I'm leaving," Zena said indifferently.
"Zena, didn't you say you would live at home?"
"I changed my mind."
In the past, she did everything smoothly, didn't she? But what about this time? She was overwhelmed by panic, anxiety, and despair.
She had cried for so long and shed so many tears. She wished that those tears could take away some of her annoyance in heart, but they couldn't. The more she cried, the sadder and more desperate she became.
She hated this feeling.
Jimmy said she was wrong, and Xavier said she was wrong. Even her father also said that she was wrong...
However, she really did not think that she was wrong. She just wanted to get back what should belong to her. Why was she wrong?
Was it just because Jimmy had got married? Couldn't he divorce Elizabeth? Jimmy and she had known each other for so many years. He used to treat her so well, didn't he?
Yeah, she admitted that Jimmy was very good to Elizabeth. Most of the time, it seemed that he really loved her sincerely and wholeheartedly. However, she just didn't believe that Jimmy really loved Elizabeth.
How long had they known each other?
Xavier asked her to calm down and told her not to do anything irrational. Her father said that she should not do anything stupid just now...
No one helped her...
At the thought of this, she wiped her tears fiercely. Suddenly, she raised her head and stared at the carpet in front of her, and then her eyes gradually became clear.
She sneered slightly and squinted her misty eyes. Her eyes were filled with malicious hatred and harsh aloofness.
Well, it was better to do what she wanted to do before. She had nothing to worry about, and she could be fearless...
