Zayn was in a bad mood, sitting in the lounge and idly ying with his phone. “It’s so boring here.”

He would rather be hanging out with Laura, watching Ultraman, chilling with his friends from the orphanage, and indulging in those 3 dors packs of potato chips.

He didn’t want to sit in this opulent hotel, dining on exquisite Epean food, while people schemed and approached him with ulterior motives.

Taron smiled awkwardly at him. “You’re the boss, and there are plenty of people who want to be your friend. If you think it’s boring, how about we go out and have some fun?”

Another one of his friends nodded in agreement. “Yes, Zayn. My dad just gave me some initial capital for us to have a good time. We can go watch a movie and have a grand feast!”

However, Zayn remainedzy and replied indifferently, “No. I don’t feel like ying anything.”

All of them fell silent.

They realized that it wasn’t that Zayn didn’t want to y; he just didn’t want to y with them.

If only Laura were here… Whenever she was around, Zayn would undoubtedly be in high spirits.

Meanwhile, Laura was pulled by Winnie to greet her acquaintances at the banquet.

After Winnie was satisfied, she guided Laura to a couch and sat down. “What do you want to eat? Shall I fetch something for you?”

Exhausted from all the socializing, Laura nodded as she sank into the couch. “I’d like some cake.”

Winnie said joyfully, “Sure! I’ll get a macaron, a chocte cake, and an ice cream cake. How about we share them?”

Laura’s eyes sparkled as she nodded happily. “Okay!”

She liked being with Winnie.

Even though she hade to realize that Winnie was her Aunt Winnje, she still cherished their rtionship.

That was because Winnie was very gentle and very energetic.

Winnie turned to fetch the cakes when another person approached her with delight. “Ms. Yale, long time no see!”

Winnie was pleasantly surprised. “Oh, Cindy, you’re back from abroad?”

The two of them hit it off immediately and engaged in a lively conversation.

Winnie took a nce at Laura and said, “L, why don’t you go grab a te of cake? I need to talk to thisdy. Don’t wander off, okay?”

Laura nodded obediently and got off the couch to fetch a tray.

The food offerings here were presented in buffet style.

Therefore, she could choose whatever she wanted to eat.

She picked up a te and found it hard to make a choice.

In the corner not far behind her, Mandy was crying her eyes out.

Jace pointed at her forehead and gritted angrily, “I’m asking you, why did Mr. Graham react so negatively to you the moment he saw you? I remembered

that you both went to the same school before. Did you offend him privately?”

Mandy trembled with tear and shook her head. “Dad, I didn’t offend him. I really did not!”

Since their family had fallen into financial ruin, Jace’s attitude toward her had taken a sharp turn, and he was no longer gentle to her.

Annie watched on and felt sorry for Mandy. “What’s the point of scolding Mandy? Mr. Zayn Graham isn’t just unkind to Mandy, he treats others the same way too. Don’t be harsh on her. She’s innocent!”

“Innocent? Far from it!” Jace thought to himself.

Jace angrily pinched Mandy’s ear and said, “I dressed you up so beautifully to make friends with Mr. Zayn Graham. But you’ve failed again. So tell me, why did I bring you here? To be a dead weight?”

Mandy’s tears flowed uncontrobly. “I’m sorry, Dad. I was wrong. Please give me another chance… I’m begging you!”

Jace was exasperated and shoved Mandy away. “You better make sure you’ve be good friends with Mr. Zayn Grahamter. Otherwise, don’t bothering home with me!”
