Chapter 210

“Take this, Zinnia. You haven’t had breakfast,” Lucy whispered, sliding a jelly-filled doughnut into Zinnia’s hand while Howard wasn’t looking.

After the drama from last night, Howard had summoned Zinnia downstairs. Lucy was worried-with Howard so fired up, he’d probably drag Zinnia out without letting her grab a

bite.

“Thanks, Lucy,” Zinnia murmured, feeling a rush of gratitude. She smiled sweetly-though her family treated her like an outcast, Lucy and the other servants had always shown her genuine kindness.

Howard’s jaw tightened when he caught Zinnia’s sweet smile from the corner of his eye- she’d never smiled like that at any of their family members. “Hurry up!” he barked, his tone impatient.

Zinnia’s smile faded. Clutching the filled doughnut, she shuffled after him with shaky steps. She knew Howard would never let it go if she refused to follow.

Her headache pulsed harder, and a dull ache squeezed her chest. She thought, ‘Master said my family would take care of me, but he was wrong. They never believed me. To them, I’m just a pathetic nobody-totally unwanted.

‘Master is a bad guy. He dumped me here and walked away. I won’t trust his words anymore!

“Move it! And don’t even think about stalling,” Howard barked. His expression darkened as Zinnia’s smile vanished-why would she beam at the servants but turn ice-cold with him?

Lucy watched Zinnia leave, feeling her heart ached. Even from a distance, she could see Howard lashing out at the quiet girl. Zinnia just took it, not fighting back. Lucy couldn’t understand how the Shaw family could be so cruel to someone so gentle.

The driver was already waiting when Zinnia and Howard stepped out.
