Chapter 699


    Chapter 699 You Likewise Think I Went Too Far


    With the umbre in hand, Zayne hurried along the path. From the lights on the gates, he could see


    from afar that Sylvie was still kneeling there. Not only was she drenched, but she was also deathly pale


    from head to toe.


    After exiting the gates, he held the umbre over her even as he reached out to help her up. “Don''t


    kneel here anymore. Grandpa said he''s no longer mad at you.”


    Sylvie tilted her head back at looked up at him. “Really?” Her voice was a touch hoarse.


    When his car drove into the mansion earlier, she knew that she had a high chance of winning this time.


    But she never expected she still had to wait so long that she had gone numb from the rain.


    If he hade out a few secondster, she would have definitely left.


    “Yes.” Only when Zayne made contact with her arm did he realize that her body was as cold as ice.


    Seeing that she couldn''t get to her feet, he scooped her up and ced her into the car at the side.


    After getting into the car, he draped a thick towel over her and ordered the driver to raise the


    temperature.


    Sylvie''s entire body had gone stiff to the point that she couldn''t even hold the towel.


    When the car took a corner rather speedily, her stiffened body pitched at Zayne. Fortunately, Zayne


    was swift to support her. He then snagged another towel and wrapped it around her wet hair.


    “Thank you,” Sylvie muttered weakly.


    She had knelt in the rain for several hours, so her body was still chilly despite the warm air from the


    heater. Luckily, she didn''t run a fever.


    Upon arriving at the hotel, Zayne carried Sylvie out of the car.


    A few youngdies were checking in at the spacious front desk. One of them caught sight of Zayne,


    and her eyes lit up.


    “Zayne!”


    Without waiting for the man to approach her, the girl went over to him.


    She had short hair that reached her ears, an oval face, and a pair of crystalline eyes that could


    seemingly speak. On the whole, she was very much vibrant.


    When Faith noticed that Zayne was carrying a woman, her animated expression froze.


    “Faith?” Zayne was also stunned for a few seconds at the sight of her.


    He then inquired, “Why are you here?”


    Reluctantly retracting her gaze, Faith pointed at the front desk. “Two of my friends came back from


    Yartran. I brought them out for a tour today and am nning to stay at the hotel with them tonight.”


    Subsequently, her gaze again fell on the woman in his arms, and she couldn''t help querying, “Who is


    she?”


    She could only see that the woman had a towel wrapped around her body, her long and slender arms


    hooked around Zayne''s neck. She had her head buried in the man''s chest, so her countenance was


    wholly indiscernible.


    Confliction swamped Zayne, and he didn''t quite know how he should answer that.


    His mind whirred at warp speed for several seconds before he answered, “She''s the cousin I


    mentioned to you previously. She''s suffering from a leg cramp. I''ll be going home after arranging for a


    room for her.”


    It wasn''t until then that Faith noticed the woman''s wet hair and pale face.


    She seems to have been in the rain.


    She had known Zayne for a long time and knew the kind of person he was. Therefore, she didn''t doubt


    his words at all. Instead, she even dashed to the front desk and asked the receptionist for a suite for


    Sylvie.


    “Thank you.” Zayne thanked Faith.


    “Don''t mention it.” Faith waved a dismissive hand. Then, she asked in concern, “Did youe by taxi?


    Umm... would you like me to have someone drive you back?”


    “My driver sent me here.”


    “Oh, I see.”


    Sylvie heard the entirety of their conversation. Naturally, she also sensed something amiss with Faith''s


    tone. It seemed that thetter fancied Zayne.


    Zayne took the elevator and carried Sylvie to the suite.


    “I had someone go and buy some cold medicine. It''ll be sent up in a while.” cing her down on the


    couch, he fetched a ss of hot water and handed it to her. “You have nothing to do with the Zeigler


    family, so don''t go and bother Grandpa anymore henceforth.”


    Cradling the ss of water, Sylvie hung her head. “You likewise think that I went too far, right?”Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    “Is that not the truth?” Zayne riposted. “The doctors only managed to save Grandpa after more than ten


    minutes of trying to revive himst night. If something had happened to him...”


    The entire Zeigler family would have never let her off the hook.


    “Truly, I never wanted to hurt General Zeigler.” Sylvie pursed her lips, her tears falling into the ss.


    “I had no choice either. I didn''t even do anything! Armand used me to put on a show to anger


    Genevieve while Genevieve''s best friend set me up. Even my manager betrayed me. They all want me


    to die.”
