Zenovia finished all the wine in one drink and was still arrogant.
“He wasn‘t angry at me about this because I‘m a better candidate for granddaughter–in–law compared to
the Goldmanns, who are so hard to control.”
The secretary was quiet. He felt that it was sad.
Zenovia had status in Haniston but was spoiled. She was confident, but it was because she was never
rejected. She could get anything she wanted in Haniston, and all the affluent men wanted her.
In Yaramoor, however, she was rejected by Nollace and was shamed. Not only did that affect her ego,
but she also wasn‘t happy about it.
Without seeing how cruel society could be, she was arrogant, and why would she admit her mistakes?
Zenovia‘s personality reminded him of her father. They really were father and daughter.
Meanwhile, at the Knowles mansion...
Daisie and Freyja went to see Diana because they heard that Diana had trouble eating and sleeping
after discovering that Nollace had disappeared and had lost weight.
But when they saw Diana holding her napkin and looking sad, they realized that not only had she not lost
any weight, but she also seemed to have gained some. She didn‘t look like someone who had trouble
sleeping.
Daisie and Freyja exchanged looks, then Daisie carefully called out, “Aunt Diana.”
“Hmm?” Diana stopped crying and looked up. There were no tears in her eyes
Daisie felt awkward but didn‘t call her out and instead played along. “Aunt Diana, don‘t worry, I‘m sure
Nolly is fine. He‘s a gifted man, so he‘ll be alright.”
Diana looked at her with an unreadable expression. “How is he gifted?”
Daisie was startled.
Freyja tilted her head and laughed, then held it back. “He‘s gifted with everything. Nobody would be able
to trick him.”
Daisie suddenly understood the question and turned red like a cooked shrimp
Diana‘s fake sadness melted away after seeing how innocent she was. “You‘re so adorable, Daisie.
Nollace wouldn‘t have the heart to be in danger.”
Her laugh made Daisie want to hide in a hole.
But when Diana turned serious, she was very serious.
“Alright, enough with the jokes. I know that you‘re worried, but you don‘t have to be. I believe in him.”
Daisie was considering telling her that Nollace had contacted her if she was too sad, but... It was just
‘sadness‘.
After they left the room, Diana suddenly called out to Freyja.
Freyja paused and turned around curiously. “Yes, Aunt Diana?”
Diana nodded. “I‘d like to speak to you.”
Daisie didn‘t want to intrude, so she told Freyja she would wait for her downstairs.
Only Diana and Freyja were left in the room. Diana asked her to take a seat. “Freyja, would you want to
meet your grandfather?”
Freyja‘s expression froze, but she spoke adamantly after a few seconds of silence. “I don‘t want to see
him.”
Diana sighed and touched the back of her hand. “Freyja, I know your mother had always neglected you
and focused all her attention on Ken. I know it has been hard for you to grow up independently, but royal
blood runs in your veins.”
“Aunt Diana,” Freyja said, “I don‘t want to see him because he‘s a stranger to me. I can‘t deal with that
yet.” Diana pressed her lips together.
“But I hope that you‘ll try to.”
