Chapter 46 Family Punishment, Brutally Tormenting the Trash
Zoey pushed Russell into Carolyn’s bedroom.
The girl was lying quietly in bed, looking much healthier than before with a more vibrant complexion.
Zoey sat at the bedside to take Carolyn’s pulse, and after a while, she withdrew her hand.
Russell asked, “When will she wake up?”
“Probably in about a week,” Zoey replied.
“I wonder if Braylen has found the person who poisoned her. I’ll ask when we get to the old mansion,” Russell said.
Zoey nodded. “The fact that Carolyn was poisoned means someone didn’t want her to wake up. When we get to the old mansion, we can announce that Carolyn is about to wake up. I think the person behind this will not be able to resist.”
Russell smiled faintly. “Zoey is so clever.”
Zoey sighed inwardly. If she were truly clever, she wouldn’t have died so tragically in her past life, and she wouldn’t have caused Russell to lose his life as well. This time, her goal was clear: to take control of the situation and punish the scum, Nelson and Ariana, as they deserved!
This was just the beginning; the real suffering for them was still to come!

Seeing that it was almost 10 o’clock, Russell squeezed Zoey’s hand. “It’s about time, let’s go.”
Zoey nodded slightly.
The two of them left the villa, and Troy was already waiting outside. He helped Russell into the backseat, and Zoey sat down on the other side.
After Troy got in and started the car, the partition rose automatically, and they headed toward the old mansion.
This was Zoey’s first visit to the old mansion in this life, and Alonso and the old lady were already waiting eagerly at the
entrance.
When Zoey stepped out of the car, the old lady hurried over and warmly linked arms with her. “Zoey, you’re here!”
Zoey respectfully called out
other.”
“Ah!”
“We can talk inside.”
Zoey looked back at Russell, but he had already been pushed out of the car by Troy. “But Russell…”
The old lady, seeing how much Zoey cared for her precious third son, couldn’t help but feel pleased. “Don’t worry about him. There’s also Troy here!”
Russell: “…”
Looking at the gloomy expression on his face, Alonso chuckled loudly and walked over to Russell’s side, hands behind his back.

“Seems like you two have a pretty good relationship. It hasn’t been long, and you’re already glued to her. You’re practically going to stick to her.”
Russell pursed his lips. “It’s not like that.”
The old man clicked his tongue. “Stubborn as always!”
Russell looked at him. “You should laugh while you can.”
“What do you mean?”
“You’ll be even angrier in a little while.”
Alonso suddenly recalled Nelson’s mess and gritted his teeth. “That little bastard, what has he been up to! I’ll kill him myself!”
Russell spoke mysteriously. “You’ll be even more upset soon.”
Alonso: “…Are you hiding something from me?”
Russell looked at him meaningfully. “You’ll find out soon.”
The old lady led Zoey inside to tour the mansion. It was incredibly luxurious, filled with antique calligraphy and paintings. Even an unremarkable piece of porcelain was worth a fortune.
She took Zoey upstairs to her bedroom, where she pulled out an exquisite jewelry box from the drawer. She then invited Zoey to sit at the vanity and began trying on various pieces of jewelry.
“Zoey, take whichever one you like.”
“No, it’s fine…” Zoey tried to decline.
“If you refuse, then take the whole box with you,” the old lady

insisted.
Unable to resist the old lady’s kindness, Zoey picked a bracelet.
The old lady was taken aback. “Zoey, you picked this one on purpose, didn’t you?”
Because it wasn’t the most beautiful, but it was the cheapest.
Zoey smiled, her eyes bright. “No, I really like this bracelet.”
When the old lady received the same brooch from Zoey and Ariana at the birthday banquet, she was momentarily stunned.
Compared to Ariana, who was a well–known designer, Zoey was an unknown.
She subconsciously thought that Zoey had copied Ariana’s design, so she didn’t want Zoey’s brooch to be seen publicly. However, after Zoey’s persistence and explanation of the design concept, the old lad
arted to view Zoey in a new light.
She trusted Zoey, but she didn’t expect Zoey’s taste to be so sharp. Among dozens of pieces of jewelry, Zoey had picked the cheapest one.
Zoey blinked. “I really like it, thank you.”
The old lady nodded. “Let me put it on for you.”
“Okay.”
Just then, Livia entered. When she saw the old lady putting the bracelet on Zoey, a sour feeling shot up in her chest.
She knew exactly how much the old lady’s jewelry cost. After all,

she had hoped that one day the old lady would give her a piece, and when that day came, she would definitely choose the most expensive one.
But now, this stingy old lady had never let her pick anything. Instead, she was letting Zoey, this little nobody, choose.
Seeing that Zoey had picked the cheapest piece, Livia couldn’t help but sneer internally. As expected, Zoey had no taste and had picked the cheapest one.
She scoffed. “I didn’t expect that the design studio of Galaxy Studio doesn’t know much about jewelry!”
The old lady heard Livia’s sarcastic comment and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
Livia said, “Although this bracelet is worth millions, it’s nothing compared to the ones worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!”
The old lady snorted coldly. “Zoey picked the cheapest one because she’s not greedy. But for you, it’s about having no taste. Zoey is an S–level designer. How could she not
understand jewelry? As for the brooch at the birthday banquet, I‘ m sure you know who copied whom.”
Livia was taken aback and awkwardly tugged at her lips. “You’re right, Mom.”
“You’re always comparing, comparing. Why don’t you spend that energy teaching your son? Look at the mess he’s become. It’s disgraceful!” The old lady heard the sound of a car outside. “It sounds like your precious son has arrived. Go and check on him.”

Livia couldn’t keep face, so she left the bedroom first.
The old lady patted Zoey’s hand. “Don’t worry, Mom has got your back.”
Zoey nodded and, holding the old lady’s hand, took her pulse. The old lady’s health was improving well.
When they went downstairs, they saw Nelson walk in, his face grim, followed by Braylen, Aubrie, and Abigail.
Everyone sat on the sofa, except Nelson, who stood in the middle.
Alonso looked at Livia. “Where’s Denzel?”
Livia replied, “He’s still doing public relations. Born Beauty has suffered huge losses because of this incident.”
Alonso glared at Nelson. “You little bastard, kneel down!”
Nelson couldn’t say that Russell was behind all of this because there was no direct evidence. And if he did, it would expose the gunfight involving Russell and Dr. Z from the night before.
He took a deep breath and knelt down straight, “Grandfather, I was set up last night. How could I have done something so disgusting?”
The old man pointed at him. “Tell me, from the engagement banquet to now, how many shameful things have you and your fiancée Ariana done? Do you want to be erased from the Maddox family tree?”
Livia immediately knew that her father was truly angry. She hurriedly knelt next to Nelson. “Dad, Nelson must have had his

reasons. Think about it, all these things have happened, so of course, he would be more cautious. There must be a misunderstanding!”
The old man coldly snorted. “Butler! Bring the family punishment!”
