Clifford’s expression changed when he heard that as if he was worried ine might put Zendaya in
a difficult position.
However, when Clifford thought about how ine had but Zendaya in a difficult position for his
sake, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction deep within.
“ine, I don’t appreciate your aggressive demeanor.” Clifford lifted his chin and said, “Also, why
are you. secking my people out?”
ine expressionlessly flipped two middle fingers at him.
Clifford’s veins were throbbing in an instant, but he secretly became even more satisfied. Suddenly,
he heardughtering from behind him. He quickly turned around in surprise, but Zendaya had
already stopped her mockingughter.
Zendaya immediately stepped forward, addressing ine. “We have a specific break room here. If
you please…
Before Clifford could react, ine had already briskly walked away with Zendaya.
Clifford shouted. “Zendaya, have you lost your mind? You-”
“Mr. Clifford, perhaps it’s best if you return to the party. After all, you’re the star of the show,”
Zendaya said without turning her head back.
By the time Clifford wanted to catch up and continue interfering, the two had already taken the
elevator.
Clifford was utterly bewildered. What’s this situation? Shouldn’t I be present at a time like this?
Zendaya is such a fool. What if ine hit her? How could I protect her like this?
Clifford was somewhat agitated and angry, wanting nothing more than to ignore Zendaya. However,
deep down, he couldn’t ignore her, feeling incredibly conflicted. After all, even up to then, he was
unclear about what he truly wanted.
Returning to the party, he couldn’t help but look for a chance to hint at Isabe. Isn’t Isabe
protecting Zendaya? If she steps in, ine will listen to her.
Upon returning, Clifford locked eyes with Isabe and Alexander, who were in the swimming pool.
The way the two of them looked at him seemed rather peculiar.
Clifford walked up to them and said directly, “Hey, Isabe. Your little fan has been taken away by
ine for a private chat. I reckon she might be bullied.”
Isabe opened her mouth, and Clifford thought she was hesitating about intervening. Meanwhile,
Alexander could hear Isabe cursing in her mind.
“Earlier, ine mentioned that she and Zeya have an instant connection and n to spend more
time together with her,” replied Isabe.
“Huh?” Clifford scoffed. “You actually believe that?”

could you think ine would make things difficult for Zeya?”

Clifford was taken aback, feeling his good intentions had been twisted. He wanted to say
something, but then he saw Isabe’s fake smile as she spoke. “No way, Don’t tell me you actually
think those two are fighting over you? You’re overthinking it.”
Clifford was speechless. What does that mean? Are they not fighting over me? What does the
mean I’m overthinking
WP
He wanted to retort, but remembering all that had happened before, he inexplicably lost his
confidence, However, even without confidence, Clifford was stubborn. “If you don’t understand
what’s going on, don’t speak recklessly.”
Isabe raised an eyebrow and said, “You can rest assured about that. I think she seems to favor
Zeya over you. Isn’t that right. Hubby? Don’t you think so too?”
Isabe was pulling Alexander along to boost her credibility.
As expected, Clifford nced at Alexander with ack of confidence. Alexander naturally nodded in
response. After all, it was just as it seemed.
Clifford’s expression cracked for a moment, and he said, “Could it be that she likes…
Clifford immediately shut his mouth, appearing shaken.
Isabe and Alexander were speechless.
Isabe thought, Hold on, I don’t think Clifford’s ‘like‘ is what I think it means. Could he have
misunderstood something? Has his imagination really stretched that far?
Alexander was also so shocked that his mouth twitched. He had the impression that was what
Clifford meant, but he had snapped back to his senses.
Isabe slightly furrowed her brows. I see. ine once mentioned that she didn’t want to define her
sexual orientation, saying that perhaps she could fall in love with a woman. However, she had never
tried it before, so Clifford had forgotten about it. However, ine’s attitude toward Zendaya was
clearly different from others, which was why Clifford suddenly felt an indescribable sense of crisis,
but it seemed like he didn’t think so now. Well, it is quite a leap of imagination, after all.
Clifford managed to stop himself in time because he realized something. Even if ine’s attracted
to women. there’s no way she’ll like someone who resembles herself so much. It’d be ridiculous and
off–putting. I must’ve not been thinking straight because of the strangely harmonious atmosphere
between her and Zendaya.
Clifford still wanted to bother Isabe further.
However, Isabe was no longer interested in being bothered, so she took Alexander’s hand and
swam toward the middle of the pool.
Grasping onto a giant swim ring, she hoisted herself onto it while Alexander kept herpany
below.

Meanwhile, Isabe continued to indulge in gossip as she was quite curious how ine would
handle the
situation.
After Zendaya led ine away from Clifford, she finally caught her breath and instinctively
expressed her gratitude.

“It seems I didn’t make a mistake just now. You’re not happy with how he’s treating you,” ine
stated. outright.
Zendaya immediately nodded, saying, “Of course.”
ine chuckled. “Thank goodness. I was worried that because of Clifford’s foolish actions, you
might hold a grudge against me,”
Zendaya instantly understood it was about the substitute matter and awkwardly scratched her head.
“Don’t get upset with me, okay? I swear, I really don’t like him
“I’m convinced now. Thank goodness you’re not into him, or else…”
Zendaya immediately looked at ine with anxiety. da expected, she’s still bothered-
ine continued, “Otherwise, I’ll have to book an appointment for you at the ophthalmology
department. and then gift you a hundred pretty boys. There’s no way that wouldn’t change the way
you look at men.”
“Pift!” Zendaya really couldn’t hold it in andughed.
Frankly, the extent of ine’s remarks had somewhat crossed the line, considering the state of their
rtionship.
However, ine naturally voiced her thoughts, and surprisingly, Zendaya didn’t find it odd.
“Why on earth were you acting as my substitute?” ine continued to ask, seeming genuinely
concerned.
Zendaya was at a loss for words. After being bothered by Clifford for so long, she contemted
breaking the agreement.
However, if she did, Clifford might demandpensation, which wasn’t good because she had
donated all the money to the orphanage.
She couldn’t afford to offend scions and young masters. Also, she wouldn’t shamelessly ask
Isabe and ine for help just because they treated her a little kindly. She wasn’t that kind of
person, so her only
choice was to endure.
Just as Zendaya was about to speak, ine blurted, “Could it be about money?”
Zendaya was taken aback, and her immediate reaction made ine understand instantly.
ine scowled but still respectfully asked, “Was it voluntary?”
There wasn’t really anything to hide about that, so Zendaya gave a candid nod. It was just a job,
after all.
From a certain perspective, Clifford going crazy had indeed helped her in a time of crisis. Therefore,
Zendaya’s continued tolerance was not solely due to the contract, but also to avoid embarrassing
her former boss. After all, she believed it was important to be thankful.
In her heart, ine had already cursed Clifford countless times. However, she understood that if
Zendaya did so for money, it must be because Zendaya was facing hardship, so she couldn’t really
me Clifford.
She had no choice but to swallow her anger silently
Suddenly. Zendava cautiously began to speak. “So. Ms. Graham. you also don’t like-

“What did vou call me?” asked ine.
Upon seeing ine’s slightly narrowed eyes, Zendaya immediately grew obedient. “ine.”
When ine heard that, she felt inexplicably pleased.
Suddenly, her eyes sparkled. Taking advantage of the conversation, she casually lifted her hand to
Zendaya’s shoulder, smoothly picking up a stray hair that had fallen there.
