Among the onlookers, one person seemed uneasy, as he had also been subjected to Zelda’s over-the-shoulder throw.


    Zelda hadn’t noticed the group yet. Enraged by Burton’s actions, she not only threw him to the ground but also kicked him while cursing, “How dare you! I’ll beat you to death! Perverted man!”


    “Zelda, stop kicking, Zelda.”


    Burton covered his head with both hands, trying to avoid Zelda’s kicks to his face, continuously shouting.


    Thrown by Zelda, he also felt pain in his back.


    Knowing Zelda for over a year, it was the first time he realized how strong she was, capable of executing such a throw.


    “Zelda! What are you doing?”


    Peck, not knowing where to go, had just approached and, seeing this scene, was first stunned, then sternly admonished.


    Being scolded by her father, Zelda stopped kicking Burton. Taking advantage of the pause, Burton crawled to the corner, looking at Zelda with eyes full of fear as if he had seen a ghost.


    “Dad, he took advantage of me.”


    Zelda exined.


    Peck’s face turned dark, looking at Burton. Burton quickly said, “Peck, I can’t help it.”


    “can’t help it? Burton, your mom went to my house to deliver a betrothal gift, expressly naming Elle as your future wife. Today, youe here andy hands on Zelda, iming it was irresistible? What do you mean? Is my daughter someone you can have when you want?”


    Burton choked, quickly exining, “Peck, that’s not what I meant. It’s my mom’s idea. I came here today just to…”


    “To let me go find Charles and plead for him. If I plead for you, will Charles listen?”N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Zelda took over Burton’s words, exining to her father the whole story.


    Peck was well aware of the situation at Lowell. If Charles wasn’t his son-inw, he would have definitely taken action upon hearing about Lowell’s crisis. Now, however, he had to remain passive, as he couldn’t openly oppose his son-inw.


    He vaguely felt that Charles was targeting Lowell because of Zelda.


    “Zelda, go back to work for now.”


    Peck looked at the silent group of people and instructed Zelda to go back to her office.


    Zelda responded with an “okay,” turned to leave, and in the process, saw the group. The man at the forefront was none other than Vinson, the man who had vited her purity in her previous life.


    Why was Vinson here?


    Zelda was suspicious.


    How long had he been here?


    “Vinson.”


    Zelda was full of questions but remained polite, greeting Vinson.


    At this moment, Vinson, apanied by his bodyguards, approached.


    Burton also didn’t expect Vinson to appear at the Roscente Group. He quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, hoping to leave a good impression on Vinson.


    Two hands reached out to help him tidy up his clothes.


    Burton looked up and saw Vinson. He was suddenly ttered and smiled like a fawning dog, “Vinson.”


    Vinson was the only person in River Town who could stand on equal footing with Charles. If the Winstons didn’t back down, Lowell could only seek help from the Grangers and the Roves. If any of these two major conglomerates agreed to assist, Lowell could ovee the crisis and stabilize the situation.
