The security guard couldn’t help but smirk when he heard Zinnia speaking in that dead serious tone.

The three Shaw brothers frowned as they heard Zinnia’s words.

Maelis tore free from Yosef’s grip and charged at Zinnia in a rage. The humiliations she’d suffered recently nearly matched all she’d endured in decades. She thought, ‘Zinnia is nothing but a curse.

She snapped, “Zinnia! After everything the Shaw family has given you, how dare you act this way?”

Maelis was halfway through her charge at Zinnia when Howard yanked her back.

The security guards formed an impenetrable wall around Zinnia, making it impossible to even touch her. With those towering men blocking the way, all anyone could do was catch fleeting glimpses of her through the narrow gaps between them.

Rubbing his temples, Howard said, “Zinnia, Mom hasn’t been resting well lately. Don’t take her harsh words to heart.” He truly didn’t know what to do with Maelis.

Yosef felt something inside him snap as he heard Maelis’s mad words. He thought, ‘That’s it. We’re done with Zinnia for good.‘

Timothy shouted, “Mom, what are you saying?” He was also taken aback by Maelis’s words.

“Mom, you’re not yourself right now. Let’s get in the car first,” Howard said, not daring to meet Zinnia’s gaze. His heart pounded with panic. He thought, ‘I can’t let Mom stay here any longer. She’s not herself today, saying things like this.’
