Chapter 380 âIâm mad because I know sheâs putting on an act!â
Lyra said through gritted teeth, âI shouldâve told Zee to-â
She made a cutthroat gesture.
Charlie was in disbelief. âLyra! Youâre too cruel! Ms. Scott hasnât even said a word!
The furious Lyra looked at Maeve and exclaimed, âMavy, say something! Isnât she driving you mad?â
Maeve pondered for a bit and replied, âYeah.â
âThatâs it?â
âIâm just wondering, Judging by Mr. Ramozâs reaction, he doesnât seem to low Clara isnât his daughter.â
âHuh?â
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 didnât seem like he was pretending.
Maeve asked, âCharlie, do you know who held this press conference?â
âWho else could it be? Itâs the Jefferson family.â Charlie looked shocked when he mentioned the Jefferson family. He continued, âYou have no idea how much the Jeffersons have spent to hold this press conference. Theyâve 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.
âThose big shots have come to Seathbom City for Conner, and heâs probably done this to intimidate Zion.â
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, âIt seems like it. But Zion wonât even care about something as insignificant as this.â
Lyra questioned, âYou called this insignificant ? 1 think itâs too grand. This isnât even a banquet, and no brands have been invited.
Itâs merely a reunion between a father and a daughter. Is this necessary?ââ
âIf you knew how brazen Zion was in the past when he was abroad, you wouldnât even care about this.â
Charlie seemed to be reminiscing about his glonous time when he was following Zion around in the past.
Maeve asled, âWas Zion brazen in the past?â
âOf 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 âAhem!â Somewhere not far away, Zlon let out a muffled cough.
Charlie immediately held his tongue Then, he laughed as he said, âI was spouting nonsense. Donât mind me!â
Lyra pursed her lips. âItâs fine even if this is true. Thereâs no need to hide.â
Zion suddenly said, âIâm hungry. Prepare the meal.â
âAlright, Iâll cook for you guys now!â
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 couldnât help but ask, âZee, how did you train him to become a nanny? Could you teach me?â
Zion replied expressionlessly, âIâm paying him more than what a nanny would cost every month.â
âPfft!â Maeve spat out the water.
Zion Instantly grabbed the tissue from the table and wiped Maeveâs lips.
As Marve choked on the water, her face flushed red.
âI heard you stop making things up about me..
e. Do you think Iâll be someoneâs nanny just because Iâm getting paid?â
Charlieâs voice came from the kitchen. Meanwhile, Zion was wiping the water from the comer of Maeveâs lips attentively. Then, he replied inditterently, âDonât take your salary for this mouth then.â
