Zinnia didn’t take Betty’s threat to heart. She thought, ‘If she dares lay a hand on me again, I won’t hold back.

‘I’ve still got a stash of poison powder I haven’t even used yet. I wouldn’t mind testing it on her.

“Hey, Mrs. Shaw, Betty just threatened Zinnia. She might go after Zinnia again. Better get ready to clean up the mess again,” Maisie called out loudly to Maelis and the others who hadn’t gone far.

Yvette and Yannis just glanced at her, saying nothing and making no move to stop her.

In front of them, Yosef paused and turned to look at Betty beside him.

“Yosef, do you really believe them? We grew up together. You know what kind of person I am. I just lost my temper today…” Betty pleaded, her voice tinged with grievance.

She had never imagined Zinnia would be so shameless as to actually say those things. Feeling the chill of Yosef’s gaze, she bit her lip and looked at him with a wounded gaze.

“Betty, don’t provoke Zinnia again,” Yosef said firmly, looking into her eyes.

“I’ve got work to attend to. Mom, the driver will take you home.” With that, he strode off without looking back.

“Mom, is Yosef mad at me?” Betty asked, shrinking under his cold, piercing gaze that made her feel as if her thoughts were exposed. A chill ran through her as she leaned into Maelis, her voice trembling with feigned hurt and sadness.

Her face was pale, her eyes still red and swollen, and the slap mark on her cheek was still visible.

Maelis hugged Betty tighter. “Of course not. Yosef loves you. He’s just swamped with work. If anyone messed up today, it’s Zinnia.

“It was outrageous of her to team up with a stranger to gang up on us. She’s completely clueless. I can’t even think of her as my daughter.”

The more Maelis thought about it, the angrier she became. Her voice grew sharper at the mention of Zinnia.
