Chapter 48 Nelson Removed from the Family Tree
When Zoey spoke, it was as though Russell himself had spoken.
Alonso asked, “What punishment do you think is appropriate, Zoey?”
Zoey gave Nelson, who had committed such an unforgivable act, a cold glance. “Although Russell and I haven’t had a wedding yet, we are legally married. My word is his word. According to the Maddox family rules, Article 39: Anyone from the Maddox family who harms their relatives shall be immediately removed from the family tree and stripped of all rights to inherit any Maddox family property!”
Nelson didn’t expect Zoey to be so unforgiving, driving him into a corner. Ever since the engagement banquet, he had suffered immense losses because of Zo
His eyes turned bloodshot, his teeth grinding together, wishing he could tear this woman apart.
Livia, kneeling before the old man and old lady, pleaded, “Nelson is just speaking out of anger. He’s giving up on himself, taking blame for something he didn’t do. Nelson was raised by you both; he could never have such evil intentions!”
“Shut up!” the old man bellowed in anger. “The evidence is right in front of us, and you’re still defending him! Your son is your heart and soul, but my son isn’t mine? Nelson is the way he is because you spoiled him!”

let Livia crawled forward, gripping the old man’s trousers. “Dad, please, consider that this is Nelson’s first offense. Can you him go this time?”
The old man snorted. “No way! The person involved should have the final say! Zoey represents Russell, so we’ll go by what Zoey says!”
Livia’s eyes widened. “Dad…”
“Enough! Zoey is being lenient with Nelson. If this goes to the police, Nelson will end up in prison!” The old man turned to Nelson. “From now on, you will not inherit any Maddox family property, nor will you be allowed to invest or manage anything in the Maddox name. You are never to step foot inside the
Maddox family gate again!”
Livia turned to Braylen and Aubrie. “Uncle Braylen, Aunt Aubrie, can’t you say something in Nelson’s defense?”
Braylen shook his head. “He bro ht this on himself.”
Aubrie remained silent, silently agreeing with Braylen’s words.
Abigail, who had been merely observing the drama, didn’t get involved.
Nelson’s hatred for Russell and Zoey was palpable. He wanted nothing more than to tear them into pieces.
Clenching his teeth, he turned and walked toward the door.
“Wait!”
Nelson turned around to see Zoey walking toward him with quick strides. Without warning, she slapped him twice across

“You dare to hit me?” he seethed
Zoey raised her foot and kicked him in the knee. Nelson winced in pain, already struggling with the pain from the previous strikes. Now, after the additional blow, he fell to his knee with a
thud.
“I hit you!” Zoey’s eyes gleamed with cold killing intent as she spoke, each word chillingly clear. “Nelson, from this moment on, if you ever harm Russell again, I will make sure you live a life worse than death! Now get lost!”
Nelson had no strength left to stand. He glanced toward Livia, who, realizing the situation, hurried over to help him up.
Livia hadn’t wanted to help at first. If she didn’t distance herself from Nelson, she would be implicated too. But seeing the situation unfold, she realized she couldn’t stay in the Maddox family if she didn’t act. If she t playing dead, she might lose

She rushed over to support Nelson. “Dad, Mom, I’m sure there’s some misunderstanding here. When Denzel comes back, he’ll explain everything.”
The old man waved his hand. “No need to explain. Who knows if Nelson’s actions are truly Denzel’s intentions?”
Livia bit her lip, shooting Zoey a hateful look before helping Nelson out.
Zoey, watching Nelson limp away, thought to herself. *Nelson, this is just the beginning. You and Ariana are going to suffer

miserably!*
*The grudges from my past life will be repaid one by one!*
The sound of an engine echoed as Nelson’s car drove away from the old estate.
The old man coughed a few times, his anger apparent. “Nelson has really let me down. I can’t believe he would target Russell. I‘ m so disappointed in him!”
Zoey turned back to the old man, squatting in front of him and placing her hand on his pulse. “You’re too angry, it’s bad for your health.” As she spoke, she took a small bottle from her bag and poured out a red pill the size of a soybean. “This pill is quite tasty. Try it. It’s good for calming the heart, nourishing blood, and boosting energy.”
The old man, trusting her, took the pill without hesitation. Before he could even taste it, he swallowed it down.
“The taste is quite good. Maybe u could give me another one?”
“This pill should be taken once a month. I’ll bring you a bottle next time,” Zoey replied.
The old man, after taking the pill, immediately felt a sense of relief, no longer feeling so tight–chested. “What kind of miracle medicine is this?”
Russell spoke up. “I got it from Dr. Z.”
The old man nodded. “No wonder. By the way, does Zoey know about medicine?”

Zoey smiled modestly. “Just a little bit.”
The old man turned to Russell. “Since you know Dr. Z, why don’t you ask her to take Zoey on as a student? I think Zoey has a talent for medicine.”
Russell smiled faintly. “We can give it a try.”
The old man sighed heavily. “I never imagined the Maddox family would fall into such a state. It’s truly pitiful.”
The old lady wiped away a tear. “I never imagined Nelson would end up like this.”
The old man shook his head. “Neither did I.”
Zoey spoke up. “Let’s not dwell on unhappy things. I have some good news to share.”
The old lady instinctively glanced at Zoey’s belly before quickly averting her gaze. She already knew that her own son was incapable of giving her what hoped for. What was there to
expect?
Zoey awkwardly forced a smile, then cleared her throat. “Carolyn is expected to wake up in about a week.”
Braylen and Aubrie finally understood why Russell had invited them here. It wasn’t just to watch the drama unfold, but to announce this piece of good news.
Aubrie excitedly grabbed Abigail’s hand. “Abigail! Your sister’is going to wake up! She’s finally going to wake up! After three years!”
Abigail’s eyes flashed with a glimmer of darkness, but on the

surface, she looked overjoyed. “I’m so happy. Carolyn is going to wake up!”
Braylen, too, couldn’t hold back his tears. “Three years… Finally, there’s hope! Dr. Z is truly amazing!”
Abigail’s eyes welled with tears. “Yes, she’s incredible. I wish we had known her sooner.”
Russell turned to Braylen. “Braylen, have you found out who poisoned her?”
Braylen shook his head. “After Carolyn left, the person has been cautious and hasn’t acted again.”
Russell nodded. “It’s fine. We’ll find out eventually.”
At lunchtime, everyone gathered around the dining table to eat.
Just then, Abigail received a phone call. Apologetically, she said, “Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Russell, Zoey, the production team has added some scenes I have to leave early.”
The old lady sighed softly. “You’re always in such a hurry when you come back. Go ahead, then.”
Abigail walked out of the house and into her car, dialing a number. “I need a favor.”
