?Chapter 368:


    “There’s nothing to apologize for!” Hannah stopped Zayn before he could say another word. She red at Divya and her son with a look of disdain and issued a stark warning. “Leave now, unless you want to be embarrassed further. If you stay, I’ll not only continue to scold you, but I’ll have my guards escort you out!”


    Divya was seething with rage, rendered speechless.


    Zayn, equally furious, retorted, “Mrs. Nash, both our families reside in Blebert. We’re bound to cross paths often. Do you really want to ruin our rtionship andplicate things further?”


    Hannah replied with a sneer, “Didn’t our rtionship already copse four years ago when you callously ended the engagement with Tiffany?”


    This response left Divya and Zayn speechless.

    Divya desperately wished she could vanish, while Zayn paused, ncing up, hoping to spot the one he admired.


    Little did they know, Marissa had been quietly observing the entire scene from the shadows upstairs. She knew Zayn had long lost any ce in Tiffany’s life.


    She had learned about Zayn from reading Tiffany’s diaries.


    In high school, Zayn, Tiffany, and A were schoolmates. A attended ss 3, while Zayn and Tiffany were ssmates in ss 1. Zayn was chasing after A, so he frequently assisted her in tormenting Tiffany.


    When Tiffany was expelled for stabbing her ssmate, Zayn merely watched, his expression impassive.


    Later, following his college entrance examinations, Zayn learned about a nned marriage uniting the McCoy and Nash families. He initially reacted vehemently against it, causing an uproar at home.


    However, he unexpectedly consented, swayed not by family pressure but by A’s maniption.


    A had cunningly suggested that Zayn get engaged to Tiffany only to end it cruelly, aiming to tarnish her reputation further.


    Although he knew it was contemptible, Zayn consented, hoping to win A’s favor.


    Zayn had hoped that his dedication would be reciprocated by A, but she remained fixated on more affluent men, like Remy. Zayn’s hopes were dashed, and his disdain for Tiffany grew, culminating in the cruel termination of their engagement.


    Tiffany had implored Zayn to maintain their engagement, not out of love, but as a desperate attempt to break free from the controlling grips of Sansa and A.


    Now, the same man who had once helped A hurt and degrade Tiffany was audaciously proposing to her? The notion wasughable.


    Snapping back to the present, Marissa nced downstairs at Zayn, her eyes filled with icy detachment.


    Zayn was primarily responsible for the damage to Tiffany’s reputation. She was determined not to let him escape the consequences of his actions.


    At the moment, however, she had other matters to attend to.


    With that in mind, she headed back to her room.


    Landen shot Zayn a chilling look before he followed Marissa. He, too, had no patience for such a jerk.


    Zayn watched the empty staircase, hoping his idol might appear. Eventually, he lowered his head in defeat.


    Hannah repeated her demand. “Mrs. McCoy, Mr. McCoy, why haven’t you left yet? Shall I call the guards to escort you out?”


    Divya tugged at Zayn’s arm, urging him to leave. She had never seen her son so obstinate. Now that he was in charge of the family, she found him beyond her control.


    Zayn met Hannah’s gaze and dered, “Mrs. Nash, this issue is between Tiffany and me. Even though you’re her aunt-inw, you don’t have the authority to intervene. It’s up to Tiffany to decide if she wants to reconnect with me. She should tell me herself!”


    He paused for effect and then held his head high, adding, “Right, Mrs. Nash?”


    His argument seemed logical but waspletely audacious, prompting Hannah to burst outughing.


    Before she could respond with another scolding, a mocking voice interrupted from outside
