“I’m not apologizing for something I didn’t do,” Zinnia said flatly. They never believed her, and she wasn’t about to start hoping now.

Suddenly, a bitter ache spread through her chest-she missed her master terribly. ‘Why did he dump me back with these awful people? I hate him now anyway! she thought, her vision blurring.

Howard’s heart sank when he saw Zinnia’s eyes. They were red and looked like she might burst into tears at any moment.

The other Shaws shifted uncomfortably. ‘No one’s even scolded her yet. Why the sudden tears?’

Zinnia had no clue they thought she was on the verge of tears. If she knew, she’d definitely snap back; even if she did cry, it sure wouldn’t be over them.

But she didn’t realize she looked tearful. She just felt her eyes burning, her nose stuffy, and her head all fuzzy.

She wanted to get this over with and leave. She couldn’t stand being around the Shaws; it felt like she was being suffocated.

Zinnia fished out a candy from her bag and popped it into her mouth-sugar always helped her shake off the bad mood. She decided that when her master returned, she’d give him a piece of her mind for ditching her.

“Yosef, if there’s surveillance footage, have the butler check it now,” Howard turned to his brother, his voice tinged with a hint of urgency. “We’ll see exactly what happened. No more baseless accusations.”

‘That brat’s already on the verge of tears. If we don’t clear this up, guess who’ll have to comfort Ms. Waterworks here?’ Howard thought.

“Mom, Dad, Zinnia didn’t push me,” Betty said quickly. “We were talking by the pool yesterday when I slipped in. Let’s not trouble the butler with checking cameras. He’s already swamped with household duties.”
