Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 390

The Lynn family made sure to introduce Zinnia around, showing their connections to prove how important she was. Zinnia had nothing to do with the Shaw family now; she only belonged to the Lynn, Jenkins, and Spence families.

“It’s been a while,” came Layla’s clear, gentle voice from behind.

Zinnia turned to see a beautiful woman walking over. Dressed in a smooth dress that showed off her slim waist, she carried a glass of champagne. Her long chestnut hair flowed over her shoulders, framing her nice features.

With a warm, confident smile, she moved toward them. Layla carried herself with a mix of professionalism and effortless grace. Seeing Layla, Jackson greeted her.

Charlie, Isaac, and Maisie exclaimed excitedly when they saw her.

Layla shot Maisie a teasing glare and playfully scolded, “Maisie, you still remember me? It’s been ages and you haven’t called. Anyone would think you’ve forgotten about me.”

Maisie replied, “You’re always busy with work. I never know when you’ll be free, so I didn’t want to bother you by calling.” As a diplomat, Layla was rarely around during the year.

“Alright, that’s on me. This designer bag just came out. Think of it as my way of making it up to you,” Layla said.

“And who’s this pretty young lady next to you?” Layla asked, her eyes fixed on Zinnia with barely hidden excitement and a gentle smile.

She had just flown back to the country half an hour ago and came straight to the party. Seeing Maisie, she walked right over without checking who else was there.

Noticing Zinnia, a suspicion started to form in her mind, making her feel excited. “Layla, this is Zinnia,” Jackson introduced her warmly.

Maisie quickly said, “Zinnia, say hi to Layla!”

“So you’re Zinnia.” Layla’s eyes lit up instantly as she said, her voice full of happiness and a little louder than intended, making people nearby look over.
