Chapter 573

573 Misunderstanding

“Is that Aunt Linda? Help me put the towel on the bed... Forget it, I’ll go out and get it myself. It’s really comfortable to take a hot shower. I’m going to sleep for a while. Tell Uncle that they’ll eat first tonight.” As soon as she finished speaking, the bathroom door opened and a mist filled the air. Zoey walked out naked. Water droplets hung on her fair skin, and her wet hair hung on her body.

The scene in front of her was endlessly good. Sharon was stunned on the spot, and Zoey’s expression changed in shock when she saw Sharon dressed as a man.

The two of them looked at each other. As their eyes met, Zoey’s expression became darker and darker. Then, she squeezed out two words from between her teeth. “Bastard!”

“Listen to me...” Sharon really wanted to cry. She had a voice changer on her clothes, so she spoke in a man’s voice.

Seeing that Sharon had no intention of turning around, Zoey said angrily, “Stop looking!”

She took a step forward, then raised her hand and slapped Sharon. Out of instinctive defense, Sharon didn’t dare to use too much strength to avoid hurting the other party. She didn’t expect the effects here to be mutual. Sharon took a few steps back because of inertia and didn’t stop until she reached the bed. Then, a warm and fragrant jade entered her arms, and Sharon didn’t dare to move.

“Can you listen to my explanation first...” After saying this, Sharon wanted to slap her mouth. If she had just taken a shower and saw a strange man appear in her room, she would be the same!

Sensing Zoey’s murderous gaze, Sharon tried her best to look straight ahead and look like a gentleman.

“Who are you? Why can you enter my room? Do you believe that I’ll call someone over immediately?!”

“Your family asked me to come up. I’m here to discuss something important with you, and I’m here to save you...” Sharon looked at Zoey’s face awkwardly and couldn’t help but sigh at how good-looking Zoey was.

Zoey took the bed cover and threw it at Sharon’s face. Then, she anxiously got up from Sharon’s body and quickly put on her bathrobe.

“Are you dressed?”

Sharon wanted to explain her identity directly, but she felt that Zoey wouldn’t believe her easily. In addition, she still needed to use her identity as a member of the Xavier family, so it was very difficult for her to remove her makeup and face her.

According to Zoey’s request, Sharon closed her eyes and stood up. Then, she felt a fragrance.

Sharon only took an instant to grab Zoey’s fair ankle.

“Didn’t I say...”

Before Sharon could finish, Zoey interrupted her. Her beautiful face was covered in a layer of frost as she said coldly, “Let go.”

Sharon made an indifferent gesture and let go.

Looking at Zoey, Sharon comforted her. “Your interception technique is indeed powerful, but it’s useless to me. For your safety, you shouldn’t move around anymore. Besides, don’t you really think I look familiar? I’m...”

“You, go and stand there.” Zoey interrupted Sharon again, then pointed at the dressing table in the room. Sharon shook her head and walked over.

Looking at the place where Sharon lay, Zoey lifted the bedsheet in disgust. Her exposed long legs were crossed, and her bare feet landed on the carpet. She looked at Sharon as if she wanted to ask something.

But in fact, Zoey had already seen through Sharon’s original appearance, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Seeing the change in Zoey’s gaze, Sharon nodded. “That’s right, it’s what you think! But that’s not entirely true. Actually, my main reason for coming is to understand the situation from you. What’s going on outside? Hasn’t the corporation’s overseas market always been very stable?”

When Zoey heard this, she slowly looked up. There was no emotion in her light blue eyes, they were distant and cold.

“I didn’t expect you to do this much for the corporation. I almost didn’t recognize you, CEO. You look much better in men’s clothes than women’s.” Zoey suddenly stood up from the bed. She walked straight to Sharon and reached out a finger to lift her chin.

“Ahem...” Sharon was so shocked by Zoey’s actions that she didn’t know what to do.

“The man you met isn’t my father. He’s my father’s younger brother, my uncle.” Zoey sighed. “As for the overseas market...”

At this point, Zoey frowned unconsciously. “CEO, this is really my fault... It has even exceeded my expectations. Originally, I only signed a contract with the other party. I didn’t expect it to have such an impact!”
