Chapter 707 Unexpected Help
Sylvie had seen a fair share of things during her time in the entertainment industry, yet nonepared
to the humiliation she felt at that moment.
Alone and helpless, Sylvie''s panicked gaze darted around the space.
Bruce said he would help me because he owed someone. Where the heck is he when I''m in trouble
now?
s, instead of spotting Bruce, Sylvie saw Genevieve.
Genevieve crossed her arms over her chest and stoodzily with her legs slightly ajar. Their gazes met
for two seconds, yet the contempt in Genevieve''s gaze immediately confirmed her identity as the
mastermind behind Sylvie''s public shaming.
Meanwhile, Ro strode toward Sylvie and tugged at her gown. “Babe, why don''t I help you undress?”
Sylvie held onto her gown with all her might, near tears from the ignominy of the situation.
Just as Ro was about to tear Sylvie''s gown apart, a hand shot out and seized Ro''s wrist in a
painful grip.
It belonged to Zayne, who even pushed Ro away once the yboy loosened his hold out of pain.
Zayne frowned and demanded, “Call yourself a man! How can you bully a weak woman?”
Ro massaged his throbbing wrist, ncing at the young man before turning his attention back to
Sylvie. He taunted, “What? Are you her lover too?”
“I''m her younger brother. I heard every word of what you said earlier,” dered Zayne.
He had chanced upon the dinner and saw Ro making fun of Sylvie, though he had not nned on
intervening until he saw the crowd pressuring Sylvie to undress. Zayne''s conscience got the better of
him, and he stepped forward to help her.
“Oh?” Ro added suggestively, “The kind of brother she hugs to sleep?”
Zayne''s temper snapped, and he exploded, “Clean that filthy mouth of yours! Even if she''s not blood-
rted to the Zeigler family, Grandpa dotes on her. Don''t even think of picking on her!”

Ro could tell from his words that he was a member of the Zeigler family. Zayne looked younger than
twenty years old, and Ro guessed that he was Felix Zeigler''s youngest son.
Though Ro often flirted with trouble, even he knew it was unwise to court trouble from the Zeiglers.
Thus, he shrugged silently in response to Zayne''s outburst.
Satisfied, Zayne turned to look at Sylvie and said, “He was obviously ndering you. Do you want him
to apologize?”
“It''s fine,” Sylvie replied with a shake of her head.
She was hardly a fool. When Zayne had returned to the hotel to save her from her orchestrated suicide
attempt, Sylvie already knew he was helping her because of her alleged friendship with Ste.
Devoid of her connections to the Zeigler family, Sylvie could be abandoned by Zayne at any moment.
She simply could not afford to offend the rich and powerful.
In the end, Zayne silently escorted Sylvie away from the dinner.
His sudden appearance and offer of help to Sylvie filled Coco with fear, and thetter instinctively
looked to Genevieve for instruction.
Genevieve''s expression had darkened as the situation unfolded.
She was only at the dinner to humiliate Sylvie, and she never imagined that a Zeigler would step
forward to save Sylvie from her doom.
Genevieve took out her phone and sent Coco a few things over WhatsApp. Then, she turned to look for
Jack.
While he stood some distance away from Sylvie''s fiasco, he had kept a close eye on how things were
progressing.
When Genevieve arrived by his side, he hooked an arm around her waist and smiled at her. “Your little
gift for Sylvie seems to have failed.”
Genevieve was in a poor mood and did not wish to entertain his jokes. “If you''re busy, I''m going back
alone.”
“I brought you here to have fun. If you''re bored, let''s leave together.” Jack returned his champagne flute
to a passing waiter and ushered Genevieve out of the ce.
