Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 330

Sofia clung to Zinnia desperately, as if she feared Zinnia would disappear the moment she let go.

Zinnia stood frozen, not knowing how to face the Lynns. Zinnia could see unmistakable worry filing their

eyes.

Noticing Zinnia's flustered expression, Yannis pushed the door wide open and said, “Sofia, Henry, con in.”

“Yannis, thank you for looking after Zinnia,” Charlie said, the last to enter. Seeing Zinnia safe and sound, he

finally let out the breath he’d been holding.

“We're friends, no need to thank me. Con in,” Yannis said, ushering Charlie inside.

Sofia gripped Zinnia’s hand tightly and said, “Zinnia, don’t listen to Maelis or any of the Shaws. They're all out of

their minds. From now on, you're only my granddaughter now; you have nothing to do with the Shaw family.”

Sofia adored Zinnia from the bottom of her heart. When she and Henry got the call from Jackson, their heads

were buzzing. They knew Maelis could be foolish, but never imagined she'd be so confused she couldn't tell right

from wrong.

Zinnia was caught off guard by Sofia’s reaction. A complicated mix of emotions welled up inside her. She had

expected Sofia and the others to scold her for being immature, but instead, they were standing up for her.

Seeing the lost look on Zinnia’s face, Sofia’s heart ached. She said softly, “Zinnia, go hwith me. I'll protect

you. No one’s going to mess with you. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll take them down, one or two, I'll handle

them all.”

Sofia had thought that once Zinnia moved out, the Shaw family would finally calm down. But to her utter

disbelief, they stooped so low as to pull such a shameful stunt, all for Betty, an outsider. Her disappointment in

Maelis knew no bounds.

“Zinnia, Sofia’s right. Chwith us. We won't let anyone from the Shaw family bother you again,” Henry

said softly, his heart aching.

Henry cherished Zinnia dearly. He cursed Maelis inwardly for the way she treated Zinnia.

“Sofia, I'm grown up now. | can take care of myself,” Zinnia said softly, lowering her head in quiet refusal as she

faced their affection.

Sofia tightened her grip on Zinnia’s hand. Her eyes blazed with unwavering determination as she said, “Zinnia,

your mother has no say in the Lynn family. You are a Lynn now, not a Shaw. The Shaws don’t deserve to call you

family.

“I will make a public announcement that you have severed ties with the Shaw family and that you are my only

granddaughter.”

Sofia had once held onto hope that Maelis and the Shaw family might cto their senses, but instead, they

only went from bad to worse.

She thought, “The Shaws just don’t know how to cherish anything. If they don’t want Zinnia, then we would

gladly take her in and cherish her as our own!

Zinnia said, “Sofia, it's okay. | know you lovedearly, but | don’t want you to worry aboutbecause of this.

You've already done so much for me. | will just live alone and stay away from the Shaws

After Zinnia was acknowledged by the Shaw family, although the Shaw farmily did not publicly declare that she

was their biological daughter, her identity was not a secret within their circle.

Now that she had severed ties with the Shaw family, she didn’t want to be associated with them anymore.

However, Zinnia wasn’t very supportive of Sofia’s proposal to make such a public announcement. She was

worried that if Maclis found out, she would cause trouble for Sofia and the others.

Zinnia thought, ‘Ever since | moved in with the Lynns, Maelis has made no secret of her disdain for me.

constantly disapproving of Sofia and the others takingin.

‘If Sofia made the announcement, | can’t imagine the endless trouble Maelis would cause for Sofia and the

rest.’

Although Sofia and others kept saying they weren't afraid, Zinnia didn’t want them to be disturbed because of

her. Besides, Zinnia knew she wouldn't be staying here much longer. Once her Master returned, she'd leave.

She thought, ‘Maelis is still Sofia’s daughter. Even after | leave, they'll remain family. There's no need forto

cause an irreparable rift between them!

Sofia explained gently, “Zinnia, you are not even an adult. You can’t live alone. And if you still want to go to

school here, you need a guardian.”

Sofia was far too perceptive, so she could easily understand the reason why Zinnia refused. She knew Zinn was

shielding them from trouble. Yet her very thoughtfulness only made Sofia’s heart ache all the more

Sofia thought, ‘Zinnia is still just a child, yet treated so cruelly by her own family. And she is still thoughtful

enough to put others first. Though she is the one most hurt in all this, she hasn’t spared a single thought for

herself!’

Zinnia frowned as she listened to Sofia. She didn’t expect it to be so complicated. She thought, The Shaw family

is currently my guardian, but I've severed ties with them. If | want to continue my education, | need a new

guardian.

‘But Master is not around, and he doesn’t want to be found. What should I do?"

Zinnia fell silent, but the distress on her face was unmistakable.

Sofia understood all too well that the Shaws had wounded Zinnia so deeply that Zinnia now wanted nothing more

to do with any family ties whatsoever.

She said, “Zinnia, don’t worry about the Shaw family. They have no say in our family’s decisions. Just move in

with us. We will handle everything for you.”

Zinnia and Sofia were locked in a stubborn standoff. Zinnia stood her ground, and Sofia couldn't stop

worrying about Zinnia.

As their argument reached an impasse, Yannis hung up the phone, with Yvette’s excited voice still faintly in the

background, and stepped forward to join them.

Yannis suggested, “Sofia, how about this? Let's change Zinnia's official family registration addren to the Jenkins

residence. And we can draft a statement to make the Jenkins family Zinnia’s guardians for new

“After all, Zinnia has already accepted Yvette as her godmother. If we do this, Maelis won't cause you any

trouble, and Zinnia won't have to worry about you either way.

“You are all family, and no matter where the registration is, your love for Zinnia won't change. She doesn’t want

to make things hard for you, and you wouldn't feel comfortable handing her over to strangers.

“Yvette might seem a bit unreliable sometimes, but when it comes to kids, she and her husband are the best Just

look at how rambunctious Maisie is.

“That's all because of how much they spoil her. They've always wanted another girl, and if Zinnia joins their

family, they'll be thrilled.

“Our families know each other well. | just called Yvette, and they're already on their way. As soon as Zinnia

agrees, we can get the statement done right away.”

Yannis’s words gave the Lynns pause for thought. They pondered, “Yannis has a point. If Zinnia is truly set

against joining our family, the Jenkins family would be a wonderful alternative.

‘We have met Yvette and Aaron before. They are kind and trustworthy people, certainly far better than the

Shaws.

Zinnia has never had parental love. If she becomes part of the Jenkins family, she'll finally have loving parents.

Raymond has always been fond of Zinnia and has long regretted not being able to mentor her

If Zinnia becomes part of the younger generation of the Spence family, Raymond would be truly delighrea

Zinnia froze, staring at Yannis in disbelief. She hadn't expected him to help her in this way, especially since they

had only known each other for a short time.
