Chapter 177


    “Alright Zachary answered her perfunctorily, dropping her off at her door. He didn’t even bother to get


    out of the car, signaling for her to scram. “Zachary.” Ynda looked at his indifferent profile,


    instinctively reaching out for his hand. “I’m sorry for making you spend so much tonight; I’ll pay you


    back for the excess.”


    But she honestly didn’t have that kind of money; it was just lip service.


    “No need” Zachary nced at her. Her face was swollen from Kelly’s punches, her earrings and


    nes were all askew, her hair was a mess, and her clothes were stained


    He suddenly recalled what her ssmates had said about her wearing all that bling. It didn’t match, but


    she insisted on wearing them together.


    They also said that despite wearing all those expensive items, she still gave off a poor vibe.


    Looking at her now, they might have a point.


    “Zachary.” Ynda noticed his distant gaze, even a hint of disdain. Was it because her current state


    was making him ufortable?


    With that thought, Ynda hurriedly tried to fix her hair and jewelry.


    But the more she tried, the messier it got.


    “I’m hurt, I won’t get you out of the car.” Zachary’s message was clear: she could leave now.


    “Well, you should get some rest when you get home.” Knowing that staying wasn’t going to change


    anything, Ynda got out of the car, waving him off gently. “Zachary, drive safe, and when you get


    home, give me a


    Before she could finish her sentence, Zachary’s car had already driven off.


    Attlee was in the living room enjoying a drink when he saw Ynda walk in all disheveled. “Yoli, what


    happened to you? I thought you were going to a ssmates gathering?”


    “She must have partied too hard; I bet everyone’s clothes look like this?” Olga didn’t seem too


    bothered, taking a sip of her drink before realizing something: “Wait, where’s Zachary? Why didn’t he


    walk you in? Is he still outside? Invite him in; your dad just opened up a good bottle of wine from our


    neighbor.”


    As Ynda got closer, Attlee noticed that it wasn’t just her clothes that were dirty; she was injured, and


    her face was swollen!


    “Yoli, what happened?”


    Olga also noticed, eximing in surprise, “And your hand.”


    “Miss Yoli, I will get the first aid kit.”


    “Miss Yoli, wait a moment; I’ll get an ice pack for you.”


    The two maids, realizing something was wrong, hurried to fetch the items.

    Ynda sat on the sofa, tears streaming down her face. “Mom, Dad, we ran into Arabe tonight! She


    was in a VIP room with a rich boy; Zachary spoke his mind for her own good, and then.”


    Before she could finish her sentence, tears started falling. “That rich boy just started beating up


    Zachary, saying that Arabe was under his protection, and if anyone dared to bully her, he wouldn’t


    live to see the next day.”


    “What an arrogant jerk.” Olga stood up in anger, asking, “Who is he? How dàre he attack Zachary? Did


    you tell him Zachary is the son of the richest man in Golden City?”


    “What about you? How did you get hurt?” Attlee asked.


    “Arabe brought a female friend.”


    Ynda took the ice pack from one of the maids and winced in pain as she applied it to her face, tears


    streaming down her face.


    “I was just trying to convince her to turn over a new leaf, but her female friend just started beating me


    up.”


    “What?! She dared to hit the daughter of the richest man in Tranquil City?” Olga was fuming. “What’s


    her name? I’m going to get someone to teach her a lesson right now!”
