Rick couldn't rely on a psychologically twisted person like Zoey to feel any guilt. Instead, he decided to take the offensive and reveal everything himself. He didn't expect Zoey to feel sorry for him, but at the very least, this could keep her from lashing out at him with such arrogance, right?
"I told you, turn around and speak to me! Did I ever say you could have your back to me?" Zoey's angry voice barked from behind him.
Ignoring the disdainful, mocking, or amused glances from the Lopez family servants, Rick turned around without missing a beat and went back to placating Zoey.
Mateo and Theodore quietly watched the scene unfold, not daring to make a sound—after all, if Zoey was yelling at her husband, they couldn't possibly be the next target.
Rita wasn't there to witness this firsthand, but she could easily imagine what was going on. Despite her seemingly good-natured demeanor, Zoey could be scarier than Sanchez when she was in a bad mood.
