Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 255

Betty’s face twisted in fury as she watched the video go live. Her nails dug into her palms, and her face turned ghostly pale.

She thought, ‘It is over. Completely over. How could Isaac release the video and audio? Isn’t he afraid of how Donald and Maelis would react?

‘Releasing the audio is a double-edged sword. It hurts me, but it hurts Isaac too. Now, the Shaw family’s private matters are out in the open for everyone to see.

‘People are already criticizing the Shaw family for bringing Zinnia back, and Isaac’s actions have completely trashed the family’s reputation. All this, just to protect Zinnia. Isaac goes all out for her.’

Betty had never expected the video to surface. She had been so focused on keeping the Shaw family on her side that she hadn’t considered the possibility.

Donald and Maelis hadn’t even thought about checking the surveillance footage back then. And Betty assumed the matter was buried. After all, her parents trusted her the most.

Betty hadn’t even thought about destroying the evidence, and now it had become the very thing that ruined her.

No, the truth was, Betty never saw Zinnia as a threat. Zinnia wasn’t even worthy of being her opponent. Betty thought fighting with someone like Zinnia was beneath her. It would only lower her status.

In Betty’s opinion, Zinnia was just a clueless country bumpkin. She was awkward, ignorant, and completely out of place. She couldn’t even hold a proper conversation, let alone win anyone over. So Betty saw Zinnia as nothing. She never took

Zinnia seriously.

Betty never expected she would be destroyed because of Zinnia.

The video and audio recordings had nailed Betty’s reputation to the wall. Those who had tried to defend her were now too afraid to speak up. Online, the tide had turned, and everyone was expressing sympathy for Zinnia.
