News traveled fast. The Zhou family were talented butlers, and all of the butlers knew how to keep themselves updated. Now that the topic was about the future heir of the Zhou family, it was natural for this matter to be discussed extensively amongst the concerned maids and butler.

Xiong Wuyue, who locked herself up in her room, asked a serving maid if there was news about Xiong Zhi's tarnished reputation. Ever since her father promised to her that Xiong Zhi would be destroyed soon, she had long been expecting Xiong Zhi's broken image to spread out to the world.
