His Coy Lover

It was those female stars who deliberately tied themselves to him, seeking attention and fame, and of course, aiming to climb higher, to become the wife of the Rovella’s head.

Unfortunately, those women had now fallen into obscurity as second-rate stars.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that they had been retaliated against by Vinson. Their careers dimmed, and they probably wouldn’t have a chance to turn things around in this lifetime.

“Zelda, you stepped on me.”

Vinson spoke coldly.

The businessmen around him could testify that it wasn’t Vinson who deliberately approached Zelda, but Zelda who stepped back and bumped into Vinson, even stepping on his foot.

“Vinson, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

Zelda quickly apologized.

Yemmy also came quickly, apologizing to Vinson with remorse. “Vinson, it’s my fault. I accidentally stumbled and almost spilled wine all over Zelda. She bumped into you while avoiding it. Please don’t blame Zelda, for my sake.”

Zelda looked at Yemmy with some surprise.

Looking at the indifferent Vinson next to her, who was exceptionally handsome with his peach blossom eyes flashing with emotions, it was easy to captivate a woman’s heart.

Could it be that Yemmy had set her sights on Vinson?

Thinking that Charles couldn’t function like a man anymore and had crippled legs, and Yemmy wasn’t stupid, how could she pin her lifelong happiness on Charles? With the Granger family’s status, Yemmy wanted to marry a man from a matching background, and Vinson was her only choice.

What a pragmatic woman.

Zelda couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for Vinson.

“Zelda was wearing high heels. It must have felt awful to be stepped on so hard,” Vinson said coldly, indicating he wasn’t going to let Zelda off easily.

“Then, shall I have Vinson step back on you?” Zelda tentatively asked.

Vinson’s gaze was deep, and Zelda couldn’t discern what he was thinking.

Zelda’s heart was pounding. She didn’t know what her baby’s biological father intended to do to her.

Seeing Vinson staring daggers at Zelda, Yemmy quickly intervened, saying, “Vinson, Zelda didn’t mean to. How about I have someone help you upstairs to take some medicine?”

Vinson’s gaze softened as he looked at Yemmy and replied gently, “It’s not necessary, but thank you, Yemmy.”

Then he turned to Zelda and said coldly, “In consideration of Yemmy’s plea for you, I won’t hold it against you. But I reserve the right to hold you responsible. If I wake up tomorrow with a swollen foot, Zelda, you’ll be held accountable.”

Zelda…

It was her fault for accidentally stepping on him. If his foot really swelled up, she couldn’t escape responsibility.

Avoiding responsibility wasn’t her style.

After Vinson finished speaking, he turned and continued chatting with the businessmen as if nothing had happened.

The storm had passed.

Yemmy gave Zelda a fierce glare and left with her friends.

“Are you alright?” Nina, who didn’t follow Yemmy, stayed behind and asked Zelda with concern.

“I’m fine.”

Looking around, Nina whispered to Zelda, “You should stick with me now. Don’t hide alone in the corner. If someone wants trouble with you, they’ll find you even if you hide in the corner.”

Zelda had been hiding in the corner all along, but Yemmy still found her.

Vinson, who shouldn’t have been near Zelda, happened to be nearby chatting with the CEOs.

Nina felt like someone was setting a trap for Zelda, trying to harm her.

Where was her big brother?

Well, now Zelda was under her big brother’s protection.

If her big brother were here, those people wouldn’t dare to mess with Zelda so casually.

“Nina, thank you.”

Zelda knew that if she hadn’t embarrassed herself like in her past life, Yemmy wouldn’t let it go easily, and she didn’t know what would happen next.

Being with Nina could indeed save her from a lot of unnecessary trouble.

“What are you thanking me for? You’re my big brother’s person. I always have to take care of you. They only dared to treat you like this because they saw that my big brother wasn’t in the room,” Nina said.

Zelda had become Charles’s free servant, a fact that had been spread around by someone with an agenda as soon as Frank intentionally brought it up.

Everyone attending the banquet tonight was influential in River Town, so the entire upper class society knew that Zelda had moved into the Winston to serve Charles for free.

Even if Charles was retaliating against Zelda, no one dared to mistreat her in front of Charles.

One must still consider the master even when beating a dog.

“Where did Charles go?”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Nina shook her head. “I don’t know. I just walked away for a moment, and when I came back, my big brother was no longer in the room.”

Zelda acknowledged.

Where was Charles now?

He was dealing with Burton.

Burton had spiked the drink he had given to Zelda’s servant. Once Zelda drank it, she would feel uncomfortably hot all over.
