Chapter 380
“I’m mad because I know she’s putting on an act!”
Lyra said through gritted teeth, “I should’ve told Zee to-”
She made a cutthroat gesture.
Charlie was in disbelief. “Lyra! You’re too cruel! Ms. Scott hasn’t even said a word!
The furious Lyra looked at Maeve and exclaimed, “Mavy, say something! Isn’t she driving you mad?”
Maeve pondered for a bit and replied, “Yeah.”
“That’s it?”
“I’m just wondering, Judging by Mr. Ramoz’s reaction, he doesn’t seem to low Clara isn’t his daughter.”
“Huh?”
Lyra came back to her senses and watched the news attentively. She stared at the scene of the father and daughter hugging each other and crying. Henry didn’t seem like he was pretending.
Maeve asked, “Charlie, do you know who held this press conference?”
“Who else could it be? It’s the Jefferson family.” Charlie looked shocked when he mentioned the Jefferson family. He continued, “You have no idea how much the Jeffersons have spent to hold this press conference. They’ve invited anyone they could from the upper class. Most of the reputable figures are from Lentimas City. Some are business owners in Seathbum City who are on good terms with the Ramoz family.
“Those big shots have come to Seathbom City for Conner, and he’s probably done this to intimidate Zion.”
Zlon had gone to meet Conner the day before. Conner had only done this to assert his dominance.
Chache thought for a while and said, “It seems like it. But Zion won’t even care about something as insignificant as this.”
Lyra questioned, “You called this insignificant ? 1 think it’s too grand. This isn’t even a banquet, and no brands have been invited. It’s merely a reunion between a father and a daughter. Is this necessary?“”
“If you knew how brazen Zion was in the past when he was abroad, you wouldn’t even care about this.”
Charlie seemed to be reminiscing about his glonous time when he was following Zion around in the past.
Maeve asled, “Was Zion brazen in the past?”
“Of course! He splurged on expensive cars and big houses. Money meant nothing to him. He was living such a luxurious lifel Those days were when we got to spend
“Ahem!” Somewhere not far away, Zlon let out a muffled cough.
Charlie immediately held his tongue Then, he laughed as he said, “I was spouting nonsense. Don’t mind me!”
Lyra pursed her lips. “It’s fine even if this is true. There’s no need to hide.”
Zion suddenly said, “I’m hungry. Prepare the meal.”
“Alright, I’ll cook for you guys now!”
Charlie stood up from the couch and walked to the latchen. He seemed skilled as he took the fresh ingredients out of the fridge. Lyra couldn’t help but ask, “Zee, how did you train him to become a nanny? Could you teach me?”
Zion replied expressionlessly, “I’m paying him more than what a nanny would cost every month.”
“Pfft!” Maeve spat out the water.
Zion Instantly grabbed the tissue from the table and wiped Maeve’s lips.
As Marve choked on the water, her face flushed red.
“I heard you stop making things up about me..
e. Do you think I’ll be someone’s nanny just because I’m getting paid?”
Charlie’s voice came from the kitchen. Meanwhile, Zion was wiping the water from the comer of Maeve’s lips attentively. Then, he replied inditterently, “Don’t take your salary for this mouth then.”
