Zinnia listened to Timothy’s words without taking them to heart. She just thought he was too dumb to argue with-getting mad would only make her suffer.

With nothing better to do, she idly fiddled with the teddy bear keychain on her backpack.

“Timothy, you’re so cold to Zinnia. Anyone who didn’t know better might think she wasn’t part of your family,” Isaac said with a curl of his lip.

Jackson had once said the whole Shaw family had something wrong with their heads-Isaac completely agreed. Timothy’s words were truly infuriating. Isaac didn’t know if Betty had bullied Zinnia back when she lived at the Shaw residence, but he wouldn’t be surprised.

Timothy was stunned. He pressed his lips together and looked at Zinnia.

“Zinnia, I didn’t mean to. I already explained everything to Mom and Dad. Please don’t be mad at me anymore, okay?” Betty said softly.

“Won’t you come home? I can move out if you want. Please don’t take your anger at me out on Mom and Dad.” As she spoke, Betty took a couple of steps forward and reached for Zinnia’s hand.

“Don’t touch me.” Zinnia raised her eyes and shot her a cold look, slapping her hand away.

Every time Betty touched her, trouble would come not long after. Zinnia hated trouble.

There was no one to clean up messes for her. She hated being surrounded by people pointing fingers at her like she was some monstrous villain.

If she could, she’d stay in Tareston forever.

“Zinnia, you still won’t forgive me?” Betty’s eyes suddenly filled with tears, her face full of hurt as she took two steps back, looking as though she’d been deeply wronged.

“Don’t look at me like that. It’s disgusting,” Zinnia said coldly, her tone devoid of emotion, making no effort to hide her disgust.

“Zinnia, Betty is your sister!” Timothy exclaimed, stepping forward to catch Betty as she stumbled, her body trembling with grief. His voice rose, tinged with frustration. He hadn’t expected that even after Betty apologized, Zinnia would remain so unrelenting.

“Stop pretending. I don’t have a sister!” Zinnia flared up like a startled kitten, her beautiful eyes dark with irritation.

“Zinnia,” Jackson said gently, pulling her into his arms and stroking her head in a calming

motion.
