Chapter 256 She Had Lost Him Forever

Zoe was very clear about Bright's temper, because she had lived with him in the Lee family and knew
his temperament very well.

He was indeed a heartless man, not just a rumor.

Zoe remembered that when Bright first took office in HY Group, he was only 25 years old that year. He
was very young, but also very courageous. He was also capable of running HY Group.

However, some people always disagreed with him and thought that he was a member of the Lee family,
and only with the protection of Francis could he get this position. But more importantly, Francis believed
his son and knew that Bright was excellent enough to take up this important task.

As soon as Bright took office, he began to make drastic reforms. Some of his relatives were either
transferred or fired, which aroused the opposition of some veteran officials who united with senior
managers to fight against Bright.

Was Bright afraid? Surely not.

If they wanted to have a strike, Bright would definitely help them--give their position to someone more
capable and ambitious. He started hiring a lot of new employers, finding headhunters, and he
personally persuaded the vital customers, who had been under the charge of the senior managers, to
work with him.

During that time, he even suffered from gastrorrhagia because he drank too much. It was hard, but at
least it came to a good end.

As for the top managers, Bright wielded both the carrot and stick. A large part of the managers turned
back, while some were kicked out.



By the end of the year, the considerable dividend payout Bright gave them and HY Group's growing
earnings had left them speechless.

Some regretful managers begged Bright in the Lee family. Some even knelt down to beg Bright
because there was no other way out. But Bright still refused to be swayed, and even drove them out
without considering his father's honor.

Bright was someone who had big picture in mind, so he wasn't worry about the details.

No one could change his rules. Under his leadership, HY Group had become more brilliant than ever,
which proved Bright's excellent ability and business acumen.

To some, he was a god, to others he was the Devil.

"Lina..." Zoe shook her arm.

"I can't control what you want to do, and I don't care, but it's none of my business. I didn't do anything
to the kid." Lina didn't want to compromise, and it wasn't her who pushed Doris, so why should she
admit to something that wasn't her fault and be charged with intentional homicide?

"Lina, it's my fault, but you asked me to go and left Doris behind." Zoe felt sad when she had lost a
reliable friend.

"That's because you needed me to help you, and didn't you tell me what was what you wanted?" Lina
asked Zoe.

"Lina, you can't do this." Zoe almost cried, "I did what you told me..."

"But it was you who wanted to confess. If you do that, it means you are suspicious of intentional
murder. I didn't kill anyone. Why should I admit it? Zoe, I helped you but now you're getting me into
trouble." Lina turned away, not wanting to face Zoe.



After all, these things were a pain in the neck.

"I didn't mean to kill anyone. It was an accident..." Zoe emphasized.

"Zoe, you are a member of the Lee family. Mr. Francis and Miss Hallie will be protecting you. No matter
how angry Brother Bright is, he has to listen to Mr. Francis, and he will not send you to the police
station. What about me? I am nothing to him..." He only had the woman and her daughter in his mind.

Lina waited for him all these years, but in the end, she got nothing.

If she had known it, she would not have gone abroad for further study. Even if she didn't learn anything,
the Kim family would be her most powerful supporter. Even if she did not work, the Kim family could
also provide for her.

Why couldn't she understand that being Mrs. Lee was the most important. It didn't matter whether she
could match with him.

She heard that the woman was just an unknown designer. Although her salary was not bad, it was a
hard job. Moreover, the gap between her and Bright was a million miles away.

If Rose could attract Bright's attention, then so could she if she hadn't gone abroad.

Lina thought that Rose took advantage of her being absent so that she could win Bright's heart. How
could she not feel resentful for losing Bright in this way?

"Lina... Don't be sad." Zoe saw Lina so sad for the first time, and there was no light in her beautiful
eyes. "My brother is temporarily fascinated by that woman, and he... he... When he wakes up to the
reality, he will know how good you are, and that you are the one who loves him most."

The sadness in Lina's eyes deepened. She looked sideways at Zoe, then turned around and hugged
her gently, "Zoe, will this day really happen? I feel like I've lost him forever..."



"When Dylan went after me, Bright protected me from being bullied, but now it is he who bullies me...
Zoe, I'm not his favorite sister anymore..."

Lina slowly closed her eyes, tears running out of her eyes and running down her face...

Zoe took a piece of tissue and wiped her tears. "Lina, don't cry... It makes my heart ache."

"I feel so bad..." Lina took the tissue from her hand and wiped her tears. "Now he's thought that I'm the
one who harmed Doris. But never mind, if he comes next time, I'll just admit I did it. He doesn't care
anyway."

"One of us should be innocent. Since he doubted me, then I will just admit it. Zoe, you don't need to
say anything. I will take it all."

Lina gave a wry smile. "I just want you to be fine. You're a student, and you're his sister. He won't hurt
you if I admit it."

"Lina, what are you talking about? It has nothing to do with you." Zoe didn't want Lina to take the
responsibility for her. "Lina, like what you have said, I have my father and mother to protect me, so my
brother won't do anything to me. Besides, it's not your fault. You don't have to do this, or my brother will
be even angrier with you, and then you will have no chance to fight with that woman."

"I don't want you to do this for me. If you're guilty, you'll never get my brother's forgiveness, so let's be
honest about it. My only wish is that you and my brother can be friends again. I don't like that woman at
all. I don't want her to be my sister-in-law. I want you to be his wife." Zoe didn't want to call Rose sister-
in-law at all.

"I am the elder sister, listen to me." Lina stroked the Zoe's hair. "Don't force yourself."

"No, let me protect you this time." Zoe acted bravely.



"Zoe... You've grown up." The deep smile in Lina's eyes was invisible to Zoe.

Zoe was so simple that she was fooled by Lina's pitiful words.
