“My money. You are shameless.” She thought Colin was just that poor unemployed guy. She was


    unaware of his fortune.


    Little did she know how much he had spent and how much he had asked Lucien to do just to keep his


    identity secret from her.


    Colin wanted to hug Zuri, but Zuri dodged. She was annoyed when he hooked up with her without


    exining anything.


    She thought he had perhaps believed that she couldn’t resist him and would never break up with him.


    Colin was angry.


    He instead asked in concern, “Have you had dinner?”


    Zuri cFostered her arms, and asked, frowning, “You said you’ll handle my parents. With your fists?”


    Zuri didn’t want to mention it, but since he was there.


    “They called you?” Colin asked.


    “Yes.” Zuri didn’t deny it.


    “They’LL never Learn.” Colin said grimly.


    He didn’t expect them to bother Zuri so soon. He had done it when Zuri was not at Vertoak just to avoid


    this. He had underestimated how shameless they could be, now it seemed.

    Zuri was angry seeing him act like this. “Colin, who do you think you are?”


    “Are you angry?” Colin asked, trying to figure out how she felt.


    “I don’t need you to do this for me.” Zuri didn’t care if Colin beat Dominic and Cory. But she didn’t Like it


    when Colin acted like they were intimate.


    Colin walked to Zuri, stared at her, saying, “Zuri, you are smart. You know we can’t do anything else


    when dealing with this kind of people.”


    Zuri was amused. Colin used to call her silly, especially at school, when she was troubled by questions,


    but now she was a smart girl in his eyes. Colin added, “You are their daughter, at least by name. You


    can’t do such things so I did it for you. Otherwise, they won’t stop bullying you.”


    Zuri didn’t speak. So, Colin went on saying, lifting his brows, “Are you waiting for Chelsea and


    Edmund’s help?”


    Zuri snorted, taking one step back. “No matter what, I don’t need you to do that.”

    “You are lying.” Colin touched her Lips. Zuri stepped back yet behind her was the wall. Colin smiled


    and grabbed her into his arms.


    Zuri didn’t intend to give in this time. She kicked him. However, it seemed like after a few years, Colin


    was much stronger now. He controlled her with just a few moves. He pressed her to the wall and


    started to kiss her.


    Zuri was pissed off. She had never expected Colin to be so swift. She thought he was a quiet boy at


    school.


    That wasn’t her fault, because Colin never told her that he could fight.


    He would have fought back against Manny Bowers that time if she didn’t show up to help. But thanks to


    that, otherwise, they were probably still strangers.


    Just as he was about to kiss Zuri, someone knocked on the door. He was forced to stop.
