Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Yannis replied, “It’s no trouble at all. Zinnia’s so adorable. How could she ever be a bother? Besides, she’s the one treating me. Honestly, I’m the one taking advantage here, having a private doctor always around to look

after me.”

Yannis glanced at Zinnia, a gentle smile curling at his lips. His voice was warm and teasing, especially when he lingered on the words “private doctor.” His tone brimmed with unmistakable tenderness.

Zinnia looked at Yannis. She bit her lips, realizing Yannis was helping her out of a difficult situation.

Jackson was surprised by how readily Yannis accepted Zinnia. He thought, ‘Why does it feel like Yannis likes Zinnia even more than I expected? It doesn’t seem to be just because I asked him to, it’s for who she is.

Yannis continued, “Come on, I may have a job too, but let’s be honest, I’m way less swamped than you are. Just let Zinnia stay with me. You go do what you need to do. Don’t worry, I’ll take great care of her.”

Yannis slid the glass of milk over to Jackson before sitting down. Yannis knew that the entire burden of the Lynn family rested on Jackson’s shoulders; Jackson wasn’t having it easy.

What the Shaw family did this time crossed Jackson’s bottom line. He might look calm and composed now, but the moment he heard what had happened to Zinnia, he rushed back in a fury. That alone showed how much he cared about her.

Yannis thought, ‘The more Jackson cares for Zinnia, the deeper his anger toward the Shaw family burns. There’s no way things will stay peaceful for them now.

‘With the Shaw family to deal with, Lynn Corporation to manage, and Zinnia to look after, Jackson is running ragged. As his friend, I shall help shoulder some of the burden.

After breakfast, Jackson and Yannis sent Zinnia to school. They waited until she had safely entered before finally leaving.

As they walked toward the car, Jackson said, “I’ll cover all of Zinnia’s expenses.”

Jackson was swamped. After dropping Zinnia off, he still had to head to the office. The way the Shen family treated Zinnia made Jackson seethe with anger.

He thought, “They need to be taught a lesson. They ride on the Lynn family’s coattails, yet treat someone I care about like this? Didn’t they tell Zinnia not to rely on our influence? Fine, let’s see how the Shaw family
