Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 330

Sofia clung to Zinnia desperately, as if she feared Zinnia would disappear the moment she let go.

Zinnia stood frozen, not knowing how to face the Lynns. Zinnia could see unmistakable worry filing their

eyes.

Noticing Zinnia’s flustered expression, Yannis pushed the door wide open and said, “Sofia, Henry, come on in.”

“Yannis, thank you for looking after Zinnia,” Charlie said, the last to enter. Seeing Zinnia safe and sound, he finally let out the breath he’d been holding.

“We’re friends, no need to thank me. Come on in,” Yannis said, ushering Charlie inside.

Sofia gripped Zinnia’s hand tightly and said, “Zinnia, don’t listen to Maelis or any of the Shaws. They’re all out of their minds. From now on, you’re only my granddaughter now; you have nothing to do with the Shaw family.”

Sofia adored Zinnia from the bottom of her heart. When she and Henry got the call from Jackson, their heads were buzzing. They knew Maelis could be foolish, but never imagined she’d be so confused she couldn’t tell right from wrong.

Zinnia was caught off guard by Sofia’s reaction. A complicated mix of emotions welled up inside her. She had expected Sofia and the others to scold her for being immature, but instead, they were standing up for her.

Seeing the lost look on Zinnia’s face, Sofia’s heart ached. She said softly, “Zinnia, go home with me. I’ll protect you. No one’s going to mess with you. If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll take them down, one or two, I’ll handle them all.”

Sofia had thought that once Zinnia moved out, the Shaw family would finally calm down. But to her utter disbelief, they stooped so low as to pull such a shameful stunt, all for Betty, an outsider. Her disappointment in Maelis knew no bounds.

“Zinnia, Sofia’s right. Come home with us. We won’t let anyone from the Shaw family bother you again,” Henry said softly, his heart aching.

Henry cherished Zinnia dearly. He cursed Maelis inwardly for the way she treated Zinnia.

“Sofia, I’m grown up now. I can take care of myself,” Zinnia said softly, lowering her head in quiet refusal as she faced their affection.
