Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 295

Under everyone’s stares, Betty bit her lips so hard that they turned red and swollen. A lump formed in her throat, and for a long time, she couldn’t say a single word.

Betty sneered inwardly, ‘Apologizing to Zinnia? Never. How could I possibly stoop so low as to apologize to someone beneath me?‘

Betty refused to apologize, but Yvette and Yannis weren’t in any rush. In fact, the longer this dragged on, the more embarrassing it became for the Shaw family.

Yannis turned to Zinnia beside him and grinned. “Want some candy? I’ve got some right here.”

Meanwhile, Maisie was quietly whispering words of comfort to Zinnia.

The moment Yannis spoke, Maisie instantly froze, as if struck mute.

Yannis shot Maisie a disdainful glance.

Seeing this, Maisie remained speechless.

Zinnia shook her head gently and said, “No, thanks.” She didn’t feel like having any right now.

However, Yannis slipped a piece of sweet hard candy into her mouth the next second. Instantly, a rich sweetness flooded her senses.

“Try one,” Yannis said with a grin. He slipped the candy wrapper into his pocket and smiled at her.

Zinnia looked up and met his warm, smiling eyes. The sweetness seemed to seep into her heart and gently wrap its bitterness in a comforting warmth.

Yosef watched as Zinnia leaned into Yannis across from him. Yosef, as her brother, was right there, yet Zinnia clung to someone else, barely sparing him a glance.

Yosef felt uncomfortable tightness in his chest. He thought, ‘We’re supposed to be family, but Zinnia looks at us like we’re complete strangers.‘

“Betty, is this how our family taught you?” Yosef demanded. His brows furrowed as he glared at her.

Yosef thought bitterly, ‘Betty is so stubborn. She was clearly wrong from the start, but now she has dragged the whole thing in front of the teachers and still refuses to apologize. She’s really causing us so much trouble.

‘She hasn’t spared a thought for our family. She should know our Shaw family is barely clinging to second–tier
