?Chapter 278: 277 This night is absurd, just the superfluous son-in-law (2 updates) Chapter 278: 277 This night is absurd, just the superfluous son-in-law (2 updates) Zoe Bell had been spending her time at the Hot Spring Villa, accompanied by Julia Yates.
Because of Kevin Bell’s appearance, which had startled her, the Payne Family being close to her hadn’t raised any suspicions. However, during dinner one day, Julia Yates unexpectedly received a call from her father-in-law.
“Dad.”
Zoe knew that both her maternal grandparents had passed away; thus, the person at the other end of the line must be her own grandfather.
“…I’m not blaming Celine; it’s all in the past,” Julia smiled, “What’s up? Did that girl go to complain to you? Saying that she was scolded by Mario and Tim?”
“While talking on the phone, she suddenly burst into tears,” Mr. Payne had specifically asked about the situation.
“It’s nothing serious.”
“That’s good. Your mother and I will return to the capital after a while. You’re not in good health, don’t work too hard, leave the matters to Mario.”
“I will.”

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Julia finally hung up the phone, though her expression looked rather unpleasant.
Letting Kevin in was clearly not a momentary act of kindness from Celine Payne; it was pure malice.
After her “death,” she had stayed in Summerland for a long time, and her impression of Celine, her niece, remained that of her childhood—a bit spoiled and willful, but otherwise harmless.
Now, it seemed it wasn’t just as simple as being wilful.
On the surface, Celine appeared dignified and graceful, probably as per Iva Payne’s demands, but once she was away from her mother’s control, her true nature emerged: she too had a malicious heart.
Once the old man and the old lady returned to the capital, she would probably play the part of the pitiful one in front of them again.

After dark, inside the hot spring pool
Zoe’s body was immersed in the milky waters of the hot spring. A light sweat formed on her forehead, and just as she was about to get up, she turned and realized William Hale had appeared at some point, clad in a bathrobe, sitting by the shore watching her.
