Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Maisie grinned and gave Zinnia’s cheek a playful squeeze. “Zinnia, would you like to be my little sister? I’ll always protect you. Just call me Maisie.”

Having grown up in a loving family, Maisie never hesitated to share that love with others.

Yannis and Yvette watched silently from the sidelines, choosing not to interfere. After all, this was a matter between the two girls.

What mattered to Zinnia was also Maisie’s opinion.

Zinnia lowered her gaze, her eyes meeting Maisie’s warm, smiling ones. She pressed her lips together, hesitated for a moment, then softly called out, “Maisie…”

“Zinnia.” Maisie beamed even more brightly upon hearing her words.

Yvette beamed at her and called out affectionately, “Sweetheart.”

Yvette and Maisie exchanged a glance and burst into giggles. They’d just landed themselves the cutest little gem. As total beauty fanatics, they both melted at the sight of Zinnia. ‘How can Zinnia be so adorable?‘ they both thought.

“Yvette,” Zinnia murmured, a shy smile playing at the corners of her lips.

“Oh my.

I’m so happy today. Now I have two daughters,” Yvette responded cheerfully, clicking her high heels excitedly as she did a happy little dance.

Yvette took out her phone from her handbag and said cheerfully, “Come on. Let’s treat Zinnia to something delicious.”

Maisie looked at the freshly deposited 300 thousand dollars in her account, cupped Zinnia’s face, and gave her two quick pecks. “Zinnia, you’re my lucky charm. I’ve really hit the jackpot today.”

Yannis’s eyelid twitched as he watched. He grabbed Maisie by the scruff of her neck and pulled her away. “Did you brush your teeth?” he muttered.

Yannis turned to Zinnia, his expression serious, and told her, “Don’t let just anyone kiss you, especially not on the face.”

“Okay,” Zinnia replied sweetly, unusually happy today and more obedient than usual.

“Yannis, come on. I’m not just anyone.” Maisie rolled her eyes.

Yvette watched with amusement and then turned to Zinnia with a gentle smile. “Sweetheart, could you give me your bank account details?”

Zinnia wasn’t sure what Yvette was up to but gave her the account details anyway.

The very next second, a transfer of 300 thousand dollars hit her account. She was stunned.
