Realizing he couldn’t hide it any longer, Ethan handed his phone to Zinnia. She wasn’t much of a phone person and rarely browsed the online forum.

Ethan reassured her, “Zinnia, don’t worry. We don’t believe what’s in those forum posts. We’ve already stood up for you. If we have surveillance footage, this whole mess will be cleared up quickly.”

Ethan studied her expression carefully. He thought, ‘Clearing her name wouldn’t be hard as long as there was surveillance footage. The truth would come out, just like last time.

‘If we can get the surveillance footage from the Shaw family this time, this can all be cleared up quickly. But given the strained relationship and since this involves both Zinnia and Betty, they probably won’t hand it

over.‘

If Ethan could think of it, Zinnia certainly could. As Zinnia read the negative comments about herself on the forum, she pressed her lips tightly together.

Zinnia calmly handed the phone back to him and said, “It’s fine. Don’t mind it.”

Lydia scrolled through the online comments, labeling Zinnia as having an arrogant and domineering personality and being scheming. Her pale lips curled into a razor–sharp smile, frost glinting in her eyes.

Lydia looked at Zinnia with concern and asked, “Zinnia, can you walk me through what happened between you and Betty? When and where exactly did it all happen?” She didn’t believe Zinnia could have done such things.

Zinnia met Lydia’s gaze. Lydia’s eyes brimmed with tender concern.

Zinnia wasn’t bothered by the online drama. What truly surprised her was how much they cared about her. They were already so protective despite barely knowing her.

Zinnia felt a strange mix of emotions. Facing Lydia’s question, she clenched her fists and slowly exhaled, trying to calm down.

Zinnia continued, “July 2nd, 1:30 PM, end of the second–floor hallway. Betty broke the vase. I had stepped out when she deliberately threw it to the floor and accused me of breaking it. She picked that spot on purpose. The cameras probably didn’t catch anything.

“On July 5th, at 9 a.m., Betty went downstairs to pick up the jewelry the store had delivered to Maelis. She knocked on my door and asked me to send it with her. But when we opened the box, the necklace inside was already broken.
