Zinnia grabbed her fully charged phone and texted Jackson. She briefed him on what she had seen, sent over the photos she’d taken, and provided details of where and when she’d seen it.

Zinnia was confident that with Jackson’s skills, he’d be able to track that woman down. The woman she saw yesterday bore a striking resemblance to the figure she’d spotted at the hotel before.

Jackson still hadn’t replied. He was probably busy. Just as Zinnia was about to step out, someone knocked on the door. Zinnia opened the door to find Yannis standing outside, holding a cup of hot chocolate.

Yannis smiled gently and said, “Zinnia, have some hot chocolate to warm you up first. The gnocchi soup will be ready soon.” He gave her the drink, his deep eyes looking worriedly at her slightly pale lips.

Zinnia was surprised he’d know. The hot chocolate took away the cold from her hands, and her cheeks started to flush. She took a sip, and her lips showed a rosy color.

Yannis’s gaze lingered on her lips for a moment before he quickly looked away. “I’ll go check if the gnocchi soup is ready.”

Yannis left again. Just then, the phone on her desk rang. ‘That must be Jackson, Zinnia thought. She walked over, unlocked her phone, and sure enough, it was a message from Jackson.

He said he’d immediately investigate. Zinnia finally felt a weight lift off her shoulders. She thought, Jackson will handle all this.’

Zinnia felt absolutely no affection for Donald. Every time he looked at her, his expression made her feel like she was nothing but dirt. It stung every time. She still remembered the first time she was brought back to the Shaw family.

Donald had muttered under his breath, “Bastard.” That word left Zinnia deeply disturbed. From the moment she saw Donald, she took an instant dislike to him and felt not an ounce of filial love.

“Zinnia, the gnocchi soup is ready! Come out and have some,” Yannis called from the living room.

“Okay.” Zinnia downed the cup of hot chocolate in one gulp, set her phone down, and stepped out of the
