Chapter 1156


    Both Jerry and Edwin nced at Levi contemptuously.


    They were curious to find out what kind of nonsense he was about to make up.


    “I…”


    Levi began to hesitate.


    “Go on! You’re not going to say you were busy protecting the country, are you?”


    “Well, that’s possible. Someone like him coulde up with anything!”


    Levi gazed at Zoey. “Yes, I was indeed protecting the country. I really had no choice. It was a top-secret


    operation, so I couldn’t tell you about it.”

    But right after he finished speaking, the few of them red at him with fury.


    “Did you hear that, Zoey? He’s full of sh*t! To think he has the balls to say he was protecting the


    nation!”


    Edwin was livid.


    He had always been hot-tempered, and everyone in Oand City feared his existence as though he


    was Hades.


    Most importantly, he despised people like Levi most.


    Even Zoey was skeptical with what he said.


    “I said I want an exnation. I didn’t ask you to manipte me with your lousy excuses!”


    Zoey spoke hoarsely with tears brimming in her eyes.


    “Forget it, Zoey,” Edwin scoffed. “We don’t need to hear his exnation. He has nothing to do with you


    and Evie anymore.”


    “Nothing to do with them? What the hell do you mean by that? The child is mine!”


    Levi began to get worked up.


    “The child’s name is Forlevia Lopez, do you understand?” shouted Edwin. “Zoey’s forgotten all about


    you. She thinks you’re dead! Where were you while she was inbor? Have you performed a single


    duty as a father? What the hell are you doing here now?”


    “How dare youe back, Levi Garrison? I’ll kill you, you b*stard!”


    A furious voice came from the entrance. Both the Lopez and ck families had arrived.


    Meredith attempted to strike Levi with her walking stick.


    “No, Grandma!”


    Zoey frantically stopped her.


    “I have no words for you, Levi Garrison. How dare you show yourself and bother Zoey?”


    Aaron and Caitlyn were beyond exasperated.


    “Zoey is now the Queen of the Corporate World. She’s also the goddaughter of Mr. Dale Lehman, the


    head of Erudia’s third-ranked ancient family. She’s way out of your league!”


    “And you’reing back to your wife and daughter only now? How shameless can you be? Get out of


    here!”


    “Take a look at yourself! You look like a refugee. Do you actually think you’re cut out for Zoey?”


    Harry and the others proceeded to humiliate Levi.


    Zoey did nothing to stop them.


    Levi’s past actions had indeed crossed the line.


    Hence, she felt everyone had a point.


    “Give me the baby.”


    Zoey snatched Forlevia from Levi.


    “I’m telling you, Levi, Mr. Dale Lehman has arranged for Zoey to marry Jerry Gott, the third on the Heir


    Leaderboard. You’re out of luck now,” Meredith remarked with a smirk.


    “Dear elders, I have but one request―I’d like Evie to bear myst name,” Jerry pleaded sincerely.


    “Okay, we’ll take care of this. Once Zoey marries you, Evie will have herst name changed to Gott.”


    “Yup, we’ll do just that!”


    Aaron, Caitlyn, and the other members of the family immediately agreed.


    Right in front of Levi, they made ns to change the child’sst name.


    Anyway, the child was never a Garrison to begin with.


    Everyone began discussing among themselves, disregarding Levi.


    “Did you even ask for my opinion before deciding on that?” he demanded.


    “Huh? Your opinion? What does this have to do with you?”


    “Evie’s real father is long dead. Who the hell are you? Why would we need your opinion?”


    “Get the he*l out of here!”
