Chapter 316 Came Prepared

“Wait!”

Palmer shouted.

Zayla was terrified. She quickly opened the door and wanted to rush out.

But the door was locked!

“Stop her!” Palmer’s voice sounded again.

Several bodyguards rushed forward, grabbed Zayla’s arm, and pressed her against the closed door.

Zayla struggled hard.

Palmer stepped forward quickly and took out her phone from her coat pocket.

“I almost underestimated you again!”

“How dare you record? You came here prepared!”

Palmer snorted angrily. He held Zayla’s phone and smiled more triumphantly.

“But it’s hard to beat that old lion.

Don’t play those tricks in front of me!

It’s a blatant act of disrespect.”

Then Palmer threw the phone into the fish tank in front of Zayla.

Water splashed, and the phone sank to the bottom!

“Zayla, you had your chance, but you didn’t know how to cherish it. Since I have the 15% shares, there isno need to keep you.”

“Do you dare to kill me here?”

Palmer spread his hands, showing an innocent expression.

“You will fall from the building, which will be an accident.”

He immediately said, “Take her upstairs!”

The bodyguards nodded quickly and escorted Zayla upstairs.

Zayla kept struggling.

At this moment, there was a burst of shouting.

“Zayla? Where are you, Zayla?”

“I’m here!” Zayla replied immediately.

Then she heard Ophelia talking with the two bodyguards at the door.

“What are you two doing here?”

“Open the door! I heard Zayla’s voice.

What did you do to her?”

“This is my mother’s mourning hall!

Open the door! Otherwise, I will call my brother!”

Lucy’s sudden death was a big blow for Ophelia.

She fainted in sorrow several times but tried very hard to cheer up.

She knew Lucy must be worried about her, so she wanted to send Lucy away with a smile and didn’tallow any problems at the funeral!

Outside the door, Ophelia was making a fuss!

Seeing this, Palmer had no choice but to ask the bodyguards to release Zayla.

The door opened soon.

Palmer looked at her and asked, “What are you doing? Your mother just passed away. Can you bequiet? You are no longer a child. Be sensible.”

“Look at Norah. She won first place in the contest show, while you’re at the bottom of your class. Do youfeel ashamed?”

Palmer looked at Ophelia with impatience.

Ophelia was already used to his harsh words.

“Why are they guarding the door? Did they do something to Zayla?”

“Dad, today is mum’s funeral. I don’t want anything to happen. You said I am not a child anymore, so Iam doing what an adult should do.”

It was the first time that Ophelia talked to Palmer like this, which shocked him.

Palmer cleared his throat and looked serious, pretending to be upright again.

“Nothing happens. I just want to talk to Zayla for a few words. You know her background. I don’t want herto act like a clown at your mother’s funeral.”

Ophelia muttered, “Zayla won’t. It has always been Norah.”

“You!”

When Palmer was about to scold Ophelia, Zayla walked out.

She held Ophelia’s arm and said, “Ophelia, I’m fine. Let’s go.”

Ophelia nodded and followed Zayla to leave.

Palmer hurriedly turned his head to look at the goldfish tank, and he breathed a sigh of relief when hesaw the phone at the bottom of the tank.

Fortunately, the phone was still there.

“She has no recording and no evidence right now. She can’t do anything to me.” Palmer stood in theliving room.

Looking at the portrait of Lucy not far away, he smiled complacently.

He said, “Crush the phone.”

“Yes.” The bodyguard replied immediately.

After walking out of the hall, Ophelia asked, “Zayla, why did you ask me to wait half an hour beforelooking for you? Do you know my father will make things difficult for you?”

Zayla didn’t say much and just nodded.

“If mum were here, she would help you.” Ophelia was dispirited. She lowered her head and wiped hertears.

When Zayla saw Ophelia, she also felt uncomfortable.

She hugged Ophelia, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her.

Zayla frowned tightly as if she was lost in thought…

She didn’t know how Ophelia would react if Ophelia knew it was her father who killed her mother.

Zayla felt sorry for Ophelia, but Palmer never cared about Ophelia. She was afraid Palmer would also killOphelia one day…

Those heartless bad people must be brought to justice!

Zayla found an excuse and went to the bathroom.

After confirming that she was the only one in the bathroom, she closed the door and lifted her long dress!
