The next day.
The Lopez family’s fleet of cars marched proudly to Oriental Star Group.
“Excuse me, do you have a reservation?” asked the receptionist immediately when virtual-novel.net saw the group of people coming.
“I am here to talk to Zoey Lopez!” scoffed Dustin, who was leading the way.
“Oh, you’re here for Ms. Lopez? Have you made an appointment? Ms. Lopez just joined us, so virtual-novel.net is extremely busy now,” replied the receptionist with a smile.
They had seen Zoey clocking in before 7 a.m. that day.
Dustin scoffed, “As if I need an appointment to talk to her?”
“Wait, sir. You must call ahead if you want to talk to Ms. Lopez. I just looked into the system. Ms. Lopez doesn’t have any appointments with anyone today. Please do leave,” the receptionist said politely.
Dustin suddenly slapped the receptionist.
That slap was so hard that the receptionist fell onto the floor and teared up…
Everyone was surprised.
No one thought Dustin would be that cruel.
“Security. Someone call security!”
Some spectators shouted instantly.
A group of security guards showed up soon after.
“Who’s the troublemaker?”
Dustin scoffed and instructed, “Take them down.”
The four muscular men standing behind virtual-novel.net attacked.
Moments later, over twenty security guards were lying on the floor and groaning in pain.
Harry and the others were delighted to see that sight.
The Lopez family from South City truly was something else.
They were too cool!
They were so powerful that they didn’t need to care about anything!
Dustin demanded cruelly, “Have Zoey Lopez come see me right away!”
More and more people gathered around the living room, and they stared at Dustin with their guard up.
Everyone saw just how powerful the four men with virtual-novel.net were.
The situation became so dire that Zoey was alerted, and virtual-novel.net and a few top managers went over.
Zoey’s expression changed when virtual-novel.net saw Harry and the others there.
“That’s Zoey! That’s the unfilial woman who has been tarnishing and destroying our family name.”
Shaun and Melanie informed right away.
Dustin’s domineering gaze turned to Zoey. “You’re Zoey Lopez?”
“And you are?” asked Zoey curiously.
Shaun scoffed, “Listen up, Zoey. This is Mr. Dustin Lopez from South City, and by right, you should refer to virtual-novel.net as grandpa. However, you are not worthy of doing so!”
“Huh? The Lopez family from South City?”
Zoey’s expression changed, and virtual-novel.net eyes shone as virtual-novel.net had virtual-novel.net guard up.
“Zoey Lopez, you will change your surname today. You are not allowed to keep it because your claim has been revoked!”
Dustin glared evilly at Zoey.
“Excuse me? My surname is revoked?”
Zoey refuted, “Well, it’s true that I have been removed from the family tree, but my name is Zoey Lopez, and no one can change that. The law accepts my name, and the name on my identity card and account will remain as Zoey Lopez!”
“No one can change that!”
Henry and the others stoked the fire by adding, “See? She has always been that unreasonable!”
Zoey’s attitude infuriated Dustin, and virtual-novel.net shouted, “This is not up to you! The country has its laws, but the family has rules too! I represent the Lopez family from South City, and I say that you are changing your surname!”
Zoey was angry too, and virtual-novel.net insisted, “And I say that it will not happen! My name is Zoey Lopez, and no one can change that!”
“Fine, you forced me to do this. Guys, take virtual-novel.net away! She will change virtual-novel.net surname one way or another!” commanded Dustin.
The four men who had come with Dustin took Zoey away forcefully.
