Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 454

Anne clenched her fists tightly, and then apologized to Zinnia. “I’m sorry, Zinnia,‘ she said, apologizing for the way she’d treated her in the past.

“Wait. Why are you apologizing?” Zinnia blinked in surprise.

Zinnia was astonished by Anne’s revelation. As a child, Anne had survived a kidnapping during which her face was slashed with a knife. After that traumatic incident, she had been living abroad ever since.

Anne returned home for her father’s birthday during a summer break. The Shaw family also came to the party. They brought Betty along with them.

Betty quietly sought Anne out while Anne was resting in the lounge. Producing a jar of Moon Scar Cream, Betty boasted about how rare and valuable it was, dramatically recounting all the hardships she’d endured to

obtain it.

The Moon Scar Cream was incredibly rare. Even the Carson family couldn’t obtain it easily. After using the cream, the scar on Anne’s face gradually faded.

She had truly considered Betty a friend, never suspecting that the cream was actually stolen from Zinnia. To make matters worse, Betty had even tried to instigate Anne to teach Zinnia a lesson.

To be honest, Anne had always wondered how Betty managed to get the Moon Scar Cream. It was something even the prestigious Lynn family couldn’t get their hands on.

There was no way that the Shaws, who were dependent on the Lynns, could possibly have it. Given the Shaw family’s modest standing, it would’ve been nearly impossible for them to compete with the elite circles for such a rare cream, especially one with such remarkable efficacy.

Anne had tried the Moon Scar Cream from the Moore family abroad before, but the effects were just average. The one Betty gave her, though, was completely different. It really worked wonders.

Judging from Betty’s reaction, Anne guessed that Betty must have had no idea just how effective the Moon Scar Cream really was. Otherwise, Betty wouldn’t have given it to Anne so readily and then tried to take it back later.

“Now I owe you two favors, Zinnia. If there’s anything you want, just tell me,” Anne said. After all the twists and turns, it was always Zinnia who ended up helping her. Anne took a deep breath to steady herself, a relieved smile spreading across her face.

Zinnia paused to consider, and then said, “Let me think about it and get back to you.” She really didn’t need anything right now.

“Alright, just let me know anytime you need anything. As the heir to the Carson family, I promise you. Whatever you need, we’ll spare no effort to help.” Anne’s blue–tinged eyes were solemn, yet softened by a gentle smile.

“Alright,” Zinnia agreed.
