Chapter 78
How was it illegal for him to discipline his own son?
Tristan was aware that she was playing hard to get. She probably just wanted to get him to admit that he was the little rascal’s father.
“You sure went to great lengths just to get close to me. I bet you were also the one who instructed him to do what he did the other day, huh?”
Kiki was stumped. Zachary was equally shocked
Tristan crouched down, closed the distance between them, and looked at them coldly. “No matter what your intentions are, I will take responsibility for the child, but not for a woman like you.”
Yvette had told her that Tristan was a jerk, but she didn’t realize how much of a jerk he was until she met him in person. Unable to control her temper, she slapped him. Tristan was dumbstruck.
“When did I ever ask you to take responsibility? I would rather marry a pig or a dog than be stuck with you!”
Tristan had intended to take Zachary to a corner to teach him a lesson, but he hadn’t expected Kiki to rush over.
The commotion soon drew everyone’s attention. Archibald, who had been keeping an eye on his eldest grandson upstairs, was shocked. “Who’s that young lady?”
His secretary hurriedly responded, “I believe she is the eldest daughter of the Torres family, Kiki Torres.
‘That’s the one. My future granddaughter–in–law After all, she was the first person who dared to hit his grandson.
Meanwhile, Yvette noticed the trio as well. She couldn’t believe that Zachary was here as well. Also, it looked like he was involved with Tristan.
Instinctively, she looked over at Xavier and found that the man was also looking at the trio. Yvette. hurriedly called Kiki and told her not to get involved with Tristan anymore and to take Zachary home immediately.
An hour later, it started pouring again outside the Villa, Inside the villa, Yvette and Kiki sat on the couch, while Zachary stood in front of them.
“Why were you at Lane Mansion, Zac?” Yvette asked with concern.
Zachary had already prepared an excuse. “I went to visit my friend this morning, and he was the one who brought me there.”
Yvette assumed that his friend was the child of a guest at the Lane family’s banquet and dismissed it as a coincidence, so she didn’t press on.
Kiki interjected, “Then why did Tristan’s bodyguards catch you?”

Zachary put on a pitiful look. “I accidentally bumped into him. Then, he had his men catch me, and he tried to hit me.”
“What the f-” Kiki almost cursed. She couldn’t believe that a grown man like Tristan would hold a grudge against a child. He also said a lot of weird things that day. What a jerk.
“Little one, next time you run into someone like that, just stay far, far away from them.” Kiki tried to pull him into her arms and pinch his cheeks.
Zachary frowned and dodged her advances. “Ms. Torres, this is the eighth nickname you’ve given me. There was Einstein, Zac, little guy..
“Is that so? Am I that creative?” Kiki munched on a potato chip.
Zachary was rendered speechless. He was relieved that he managed to dispel Yvette and Kiki’s suspicions. He then took his book and returned to his room.
After returning to his bedroom, Zachary sold the photos he had secretly taken of Daphne being kicked out of Lane Mansion on the dark web for a high price.
Last time, he was almost caught when he messed with Tristan. So, he had to be more careful this
time.
Yvette looked concerned as she watched him go back to his room. Zachary’s words made her ashamed. She used to be bullied in the past. Now, her child was also being bullied… She had to become stronger to protect her two children.
Kiki, on the other hand, took the opportunity to fill her in on the information she had recently uncovered.
“Guess what, Yvvy? While I was looking for evidence that Daphne plagiarized your work, I found a lot of interesting stuff.”
