Zachary was careful with his words, referring to her only as a "biological grandmother" instead of elaborating on it.

Yvette realized that he must have learned about Yara online. Before she could figure out what to say, Zachary continued, "Mom, since she isn't kind to you, I won't think of her as family. If she dares to bully you, just tell me, and I'll protect you." Seeing Zachary's serious expression on the video call, Yvette felt genuinely comforted.

"Don't worry. I can protect myself. I won't let anyone bully me." Yvette reassured him, then reminded him, saying, "For the time being, make sure you stay with Kiki and don't cause her any trouble." Overhearing this, Kiki blushed in embarrassment.

To be honest, she was the one who was causing trouble for Zachary. If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't even know how to answer the elders' questions. Even Michael treated her kindly only because of Zachary. "Don't worry. Zachary is more responsible than most adults," Kiki replied.
