Chapter 246 Is She Swearing An Oath

Wow, straightforwardness, that’s quite an unusual strategy. They’re treating Zendaya as if she’s a
scheming and pretentious b*tch, forcing her to make her stance clear and leaving her with no way
out!
Indeed, that was what Millie had in mind.
She firmly believed that Zendaya had feelings for Clifford. After all, this humble girl had been by
Clifford’s side for so long, willingly ying the role of a rebound. There was no way she didn’t
develop any feelings for him.
Yet, her question would have only deepened the rift between Zendaya and Clifford if Zendaya said
she wasn’t interested in him to save her face. If Zendaya admitted that she had intended to get
back with Clifford, it would only prove that all her previous actions were nothing but a performance,
a sign of cunningness. She would offend many people in one fell swoop, and Clifford wouldn’t like
such a woman.
Thus, what seemed like a nonsensical and even unreasonable question was actually the most
effective way to deal with scheming b*tches,
But, the precondition is that Zendaya actually likes Clifford and truly wishes to return to his side.
Isabelle silentlyined.
Upon hearing Millie’s question, everyone’s interest was instantly piqued.
After all, the rebound had been the woman who stayed by Clifford’s side for the longest time. They
also felt that Clifford still cared about Zendaya.
Initially, Clifford was upset due to Millie’s thoughtless remarks. After all, he wanted to gradually push
Zendaya to acknowledge her own feelings and submit to him, rather than directly pressuring her to
respond.
If by chance she still held a grudge and said she didn’t want to return to his side, wouldn’t that just
complicate things further?

After some thought, he was somewhat moved. Perhaps, in the end, Zendaya won’t be able to resist
her love for me, willingly abandon all her dignity, and risk offending everyone to admit that she
wants to return to my side. That thought greatly satisfied his vanity.
Clifford had already begun to imagine, how he would respond if Zendaya answered in such a way.
He would definitely agree but wouldn’t show her a pleasant expression. He couldn’t let her be smug
andcent, he needed to keep her in check.
A smirk was ying at the corners of Clifford’s lips. He couldn’t help but add, “Millie, what nonsense
are you spouting? It isn’t easy to return to my side once you’ve left.” He raised an eyebrow at
Zendaya.
Meanwhile, Millie felt that Clifford didn’t really care much about the rebound either.
At that moment, Zendaya was utterly frustrated.
What on earth is this? How did she evene up with such a question? I would’ve kept my
distance had I known my idiot of an ex–boss wasing. How unlucky! Indeed, my ex–boss had

think I’m the one who can’t let go. I felt very wrongly used. Do all wealthy people tend to be so
delusional? But my idol and her husband were both wonderful
Zendaya unleashed a torrent of silent criticism and then responded with utmost seriousness, “I don’t
want
to!”
Everyone was taken aback.
Many were silently betting that Zendaya would respond with a no, but who could exin why her
answer was so resounding and powerful?
Her tone was resolute as if she was about to swear an oath. It was solemn and dignified.
They wondered why she didn’t hesitate and struggled to speak, her whole demeanor and
expression should be screaming that she was lying before she finally admitted that she didn’t want
to.
Not just the bystanders, but even Clifford seemed to have his pride wounded by Zendaya’s
unwavering resolve.
Only then did Isabelle finally couldn’t hold back and burst outughing.
Clifford’s face turned crimson in an instant. Realizing what was happening, he quickly stood up and
admonished, “Zendaya, even in anger, one should know their limits.”
Zendaya was practically rolling her eyes. “Mr. Clifford, I swear, I really had no intention of pestering
you, let alone going back to you. Both you and thedy by your side can rest assured!”
If it weren’t for the confidentiality use in the agreement, I would have loved to throw it in their
faces. What we had was evened out, so how on earth did they concoct the idea that I would pester
him?
Despite Zendaya’s evident disgust, Clifford seemed oblivious and approached her, reaching out to
take hold of her hand.
“Shut up ande with me!” With these words, he tried to pull her away like an overbearing CEO.
The harsh words from Zendaya had deeply hurt him. He admitted that he cared about her. Since
she was stubborn and cared about her pride, he was willing to step back and let her preserve her
pride.
However, he couldn’t afford to lose face, so he had to discuss it privately behind closed doors.
After he spent quite a while trying to pull her, he realized she wasn’t b
budging.
Zendaya was almost in a half–crouched position, lowering her center of gravity and stubbornly
holding. her ground, appearing as if she would rather die than leave with him.
Her expression made him look more like a human trafficker than an ex–boss.
Zendaya was often engaged in physicalbor, so she was surprisingly strong. Clifford didn’t expect
his handsome and domineering actions would hit a snag, leaving them both in a stalemate.
Onlookers stared in disbelief at the almostical scene unfolding before them, unsure of how to
react.
Millie, having just been abruptly released by Clifford, nearly tumbled off her chair in a most
embarrassing fashion. Seeing Clifford, who she had been trying to get closer to reach out to another
woman, she

instantly shot to her feet in anger and stepped forward to intervene. “Mr. Clifford, your date tonight
is
mel”
“Movel” Clifford was already frustrated and breaking into a sweat from the exertion. His irritation
only grew when he was obstructed again.
His words only served to fuel Millie’s rising anger. She immediately attempted to pry their arms
apart.
Thepetition formed by the three individuals made the scene even more unbelievable.
The captivating scene had everyone utterly engrossed, so much so that it even overshadowed the
grand entrance of an important figure.
Millie immediately turned her attention to Zendaya. “I see what you’re doing here, you b*tch. You
thought you could win over Mr. Clifford by ying hard to get. Let me tell you, don’t think for a
second that it will work. You’re just a rebound, nothing more. Do you actually believe Mr. Clifford
would fall for you? Stop daydreaming!”
Although everyone knew about the rebound, the tant mention of it still caused Clifford to
momentarily lose hisposure.
His momentary distraction caused his grip to cken, and Millie sessfully wrenched the two
apart with sheer force.
She then forcefully shoved Zendaya away.
Their position was quite close to the swimming pool.
With a shove, Zendaya instantly lost her bnce and staggered backward a few steps.
Noticing that she was about to fall into the swimming pool, Isabelle immediately shouted, “Watch
out!”
However, Zendaya had already lost her bnce.
Rnd was the most agile among them and immediately sprang into action, rushing to secure her.
Although falling into the swimming pool wasn’t particrly dangerous, she was wearing a uniform,
which would undoubtedly be a hassle if it got wet.
In the end, Rnd didn’t manage to hold onto her.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in everyone’s field of vision.
Her skin was tanned, her body lines flowing gracefully. She wore a provocative–swimsuit, her lips a
vibrant red. Her wavy hair swayed with her movements.
She quickly wrapped her arms around Zendaya’s waist, halting her impending fall.
Due to the recoil, Zendaya almost found herself crashing into her savior’s sexy front,pletely.
dumbfounded by the turn of events.
“Are you all right, Pretty?” A hearty voice rang out.
It was like a cliché scene from a drama where a knight in shining armor saved the damsel in
