Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

The lawyer asked, “Should we sign the statement now? Have you decided which family to register with?” He

glanced at Henry, whose face was clouded with worry, then at Raymond, who was grinning broadly. He felt the

contrast was striking.

Yvette looked at Zinnia longingly, her eyes shining brightly with an unspoken plea: “Choose the Jenkins family

and sign the statement.”

Maisie grabbed Zinnia’s hand and shook it energetically. She said, “Zinnia, sweetie, pick the Jenkins family!

Please!”

Maisie bent over and nudged her head against Zinnia’s shoulder like an affectionate puppy. She said, “Zinnia, |

need you. You should join my family.”

With Maisie clinging to her like this, Zinnia was so distracted that she couldn't even feel awkward anymore.

Charlie gazed at Zinnia tenderly and said, “Zinnia, no matter what you choose, we'll always be your brothers.” A

crowd of people stood around, waiting for Zinnia’s answer. Feeling lost, Zinnia glanced helplessly at those

nearby. When Zinnia was at a loss, she instinctively sought out the one she trusted most.

In the past, that person had always been her Master, but now, almost without realizing it, her gaze naturally

drifted toward Yannis instead.

Meeting her lost, uncertain gaze, Yannis said, “Just follow your heart, Zinnia. No matter who you choose, we will

always stand by your side.”

Normally, Yannis seemed utterly unreliable, drawling out his words, eyes half-lidded with a lazy, careless smile,

as if he could talk someone into complete confusion. But when he looked at anyone seriously, they couldn't help

but believe every word he said.

Sofia stroked Zinnia’s hair and said, “Zinnia, don’t worry about hurting our feelings. No matter which family you

choose, we will always be your grandparents. Our love for you won't change. You'll have more people loving

you.”

In Sofia’s heart, she knew that no matter who Zinnia chose, it would never change how much they cherished her.

Sofia thought that it was Maelis’s loss that such a wonderful girl wasn’t hers.

Sofia no longer hoped Maelis would cto her senses; all she wanted now was for Zinnia never to be wronged

again.

The crowd waited in hushed silence for Zinnia to make her choice. No matter which family Zinnia picked, they all

wished her nothing but the best.

Their hearts united in this single hope. They thought that while the Shaw family had failed to cherish Zinnia, they

would cherish her deeply.

Meeting Sofia’s loving, understanding gaze, Zinnia lowered her lashes. She said, “Sofia, | want to be with the

Jenkins family.” She just didn’t want to have anything to do with the Shaw family anymore.

Zinnia’s choice was both expected and, somehow, a little surprising for Sofia. But she just said

gently, “Okay.

After the statement was signed, the Jenkins family becZinnia’s guardians, and Zinnia was officially a

member of the Jenkins family.

Maisie bent down and wrapped Zinnia in a warm hug. She said, “Welcto our family, Zinnia!”

Raymond laughed and said, “Henry, don’t worry. Our family will never let Zinnia suffer.”

He then turned to Zinnia and said, “Welcome, Zinnia. From now on, you can callGrandpa if you want. If

you're not comfortable with it, you can just callby my name.”

Hearing this, Zinnia readily called, “Raymond.”

Raymond pulled out a box engraved with the Spence family crest from his jacket. He opened it to reveal a

flawless pearl bracelet glowing inside. He said, “Here's my welcgift for you, Zinnia.

“This was left by my wife. Each of you three, Yvette, Maisie, and you, gets one as her legacy.”

From that moment on, Zinnia found herself with a new home, severing all ties with the Shaw family once and for

all.

Aaron accepted a share transfer agreement from his newly arrived assistant and handed it to Zinnia with a warm

smile. He said, “Zinnia, these company shares are for you. The sas Maisie’s.”

Before coming, Yvette and Aaron had discussed what to give Zinnia as a welcgift. They bought piles of

presents, but nothing seemed substantial enough to show how much they cherished her.

After racking their brains, they decided that giving Zinnia the company shares was the best choice. They felt

nothing was more meaningful than something real and tangible.

The 5% shares allocated to Zinnia matched Maisie’s portion, clearly demonstrating their full recognition and

acceptance of Zinnia as an equal member of the family.

Maisie had no objections. She was overjoyed to have a family member like Zinnia. She couldn't resist the urge to

kiss Zinnia to express her affection.

Maisie cupped Zinnia’s face in both hands and was leaning in for a kiss when Yannis grabbed her by the back of

her collar. Maisie turned to find Yannis’s icy stare fixed on her.

Yannis shot Maisie a cold look. He asked, “Who taught you to kiss people whenever you want?”

Maisie pouted and said, “Con, Yannis, I'm just excited. Zinnia is my sister now. What's wrong with kissing

her?”

“Even if you're excited, it’s still not okay. Don’t you know how many germs are in your mouth?” Yannis said

sternly.

Yannis complained inside, ‘Why do Yvette and Maisie always go around kissing Zinnia? I've already seen it

happen at least three times. Who knows how many more when I'm not around? This is a bad habit. It needs to

stop.”

“It’s not like | got any saliva on Zinnia,” Maisie muttered.

“If you did, that'd be even worse,” Yannis shot back.

Maisie was already used to Yannis’s unpredictable moods. She thought, ‘Fine, no kisses then: Then she

affectionately pinched Zinnia’s cheek instead.

Maybe it was the improved living conditions lately, and Maisie couldn’t help but notice that Zinnia’s cheeks had

filled out a bit, soft and smooth to the touch.

“Zinnia, | swear I'll always protect you. No one’s ever gonna hurt you,” Maisie murmured, pressing her face

against Zinnia's.

The others couldn't help but smile at Maisie and Zinnia’s heartwarming moment.

“Zinnia, let's go home,” Yvette said warmly.

Maelis’'s comments about the house Jackson had prepared for Zinnia left the Jenkins family feeling uneasy. The

Jenkins were fiercely protective of their own. They thought, ‘It’s not that we couldn’t provide a house for Zinnia."

Before Zinnia could respond, Yannis interjected, “Let her stay at my place. My apartment's close to the school,

and after everything tonight, it’s already late. She has class tomorrow. Plus, it'll be more convenient for my

treatment sessions.”

Yannis glanced at the weariness that had unknowingly crept onto Zinnia’s face.

He thought, ‘It is already close to nine, and Zinnia still hasn't eaten. If she had to go through all the hassle of

returning to the Jenkins residence and getting ready for bed, it'd be way too late.
