His Coy Lover

“Zelda set wolves on you?”

Elle’s eyes held a grudge.

“She dared to do this to you. Last time, she slapped you, and now she set wolves on you. I knew it; Winston, although domineering, wouldn’t release wolves without reason. So, it was that country girl!”

“Don’t know who released the wolves. I asked her for help, but she just watched me being chased by dogs and didn’t save me. If Charles hadn’t come out, I might have been fed to those wolves.”

Burton struggled to recall the scene and said, “Elle, saying this, I just remembered; it might have been Zelda who set the wolves. Charles doesn’t know.”

“You and Charles have no conflict. How could he release dogs on you? It must be that country girl, Zelda.”

Elle said with hatred, “She’s starting to vie with me now. She’s my parents’ biological daughter, and my mom is already biased towards her. If she gets favor in the Roscente and gains my dad’s favor, there won’t be a place for me in that family.”

“Why did she come back? Clearly, she’s after Roscente’s wealth, deliberately coming back to compete with me!”

Burton sat her down on the sofa in his room, comforting her, “Elle, don’t worry. Zelda can’t compare to you. Even if she enters the Roscente, with her ability, it’s hard for her to surpass you.”

“You are the heir carefully cultivated by your parents. Your father values the company’s future the most. Zelda is not a qualified successor, and your father won’t let her take over. However, for safety, we should still follow your plan.”

Burton affectionately kissed her cheek and said softly, “Elle, we can only succeed. No failure allowed. If we fail, you’ll end up with nothing. If you have nothing, I’m afraid our future will be difficult. It’s not that I’ve changed my mind; it’s that my mom will oppose us being together.”

After learning that Elle wasn’t the biological daughter of Roscente, his mother no longer supported their relationship.

“I know. I won’t fail. I’ve been in the Roscente for so many years. Even if Zelda comes in, I can still make her leave. Burton, does your mom know you were bitten by a dog?”

“I didn’t let her know. If she knew, she would definitely cause trouble at the Winston. We can’t afford to offend Winston in River Town.”

“Besides the Rovella family, who in River Town dares to offend Winston?” Elle spoke the truth.

She trembled at the sight of Charles.

If Zelda is taken by Charles as a free nanny, she’ll wait for Zelda’s miserable fate!

After some intimate moments, Elle looked at the time and stood up. She said to Burton, “Burton, I have to go. In the afternoon, I have to discuss a big business deal with my dad.”

Burton was reluctant to let her go, holding her again. After a moment, he let her go, lifted her chin, and kissed her passionately.

Elle responded enthusiastically.

But just when Burton was about to lose control, Elle pushed him away.

“Burton, I really have to go now. Take care, and I’ll take revenge for you on Zelda.”

Burton escorted her to the door, saying, “Elle, for now, don’t do anything to Zelda. As you said, your mom has started leaning towards her. If you act against her, you’ll only incur your mom’s displeasure. Although your dad still favors you, if your mom keeps poisoning the atmosphere, it won’t be good for you in the end.”

Elle knew she couldn’t touch Zelda for now, even if it was an act, she had to do it for her adoptive parents.

Taking a deep breath, Elle said, “I’ll listen to you, Burton. You rest well at home. I might not have time to come and accompany you this afternoon and evening. Fortunately, it’s almost the weekend. It’s Yashu’s birthday on Saturday, and I’ll definitely go. Will you come too?”

“Yes, I’ll go with my mom.”

“See you then.”

“Okay.”

Burton saw Elle off downstairs, accompanying her until she drove away. When she was out of sight, Burton turned around and walked back.

With Zack accompanying her, Zelda spent the morning getting familiar with the surroundings.

Approaching noon, Zack received a phone call.

Zelda didn’t know who called him, only hearing him answer with a low “yes” before hanging up.

“Zelda.”

After hanging up, Zack caught up with her.

“What’s up?”

“Zelda, Monday just called back, asking me to arrange a car for you to go to the Imperial Hotel.”

Imperial Hotel?

Zelda remembered something and suddenly brightened up, asking with excitement, “Zack, is Charles inviting me for dinner?”

Zack liked Zelda’s straightforward personality. She said what she thought without thinking a lot.

He also liked Zelda’s appetite. She could eat without being picky, and her figure was well-maintained. It seemed like no matter how much she ate, she wouldn’t gain weight.

“Monday is the young master’s personal bodyguard. His words are naturally conveyed on behalf of the young master, so, of course, it’s the young master inviting you to dinner.”

Zelda smiled, saying happily, “I’ve heard that the Imperial Hotel is excellent. My dad said he wanted to take me and my mom there for dinner last time, but we were chased back by your young master to have our hair done. I was quite regretful about it, but I didn’t expect Charles to compensate me so soon.”

“It seems that you particularly like to eat.”

“Yeah, I’m a foodie. People are born to eat and talk.”

Zack was amused by Zelda’s remarks. “You are right. So, shall I arrange the car for you , or can you find your way back?”

“I can. After going in circles so many times, if I still can’t recognize the way, Charles can skin me alive. He is quite fierce, always bullying me.”

Zack laughed, “Actually, Charles is already very good to the young madam. I’ve been with the young master for so many years, and besides you, no other woman has been treated like this by the young master.”

Thinking of the life plan that Charles drafted for her, Zelda said, “Well, he also has a good side.”

If only he had a better temper and wasn’t so stubborn, it would be even better.

“The young madam hasn’t spent enough time with the young master. When you spend more time together, the young madam will find that the young master is the best man in River Town.”

Zack always stood on Charles’s side.

Zelda smiled but didn’t respond.

Charles was excellent in many aspects, but he liked to bully her.

Well, it was also her fault.

Who told her to commit suicide and refuse the marriage in front of Charles in her previous life? With such a show, if Charles didn’t kill her, he was already being merciful. Not to mention that he sometimes covered for her.

Zelda, be content!
