Skadi felt guilty when she remembered what had happened before. If Hera had really divorced Nash,
she would have spent an eternity in guilt. 30 minutester, Nash parked the car outside the Zells’
residence.
“Thank you, Nash!” Skadi said. She then carried Yoyo toward the vi.
Nash turned the car around and headed back to Royal Bay.
When Skadi entered the vi, Yoyo immediately rushed into
Zakariah’s arms. Zakariah lovingly held her, saying, “Oh, my sweet
granddaughter!”
“So, the eldest granddaughter doesn’t get your love anymore, huh?
You’ve gotten fewer wrinkles on your face ever since Yoyo came to us!

Skadi sat on the couch, looking downcast. Zakariah gave her a stern
look. “So you should quickly find a boyfriend who’ll cherish you. From
now on, I’ll only spoil my little granddaughter!”
“I’m going to Quiet Winds Church in a couple of days.”
Zakariah was shaken when he heard that and looked at Skadi with a
should be calling him ‘Grandpa’ too…”
Skadi became a little unhappy. “Age, age, age! Why are you always bringing up age? That director in
his 80s is dating someone in her 20s! Cillian is much more handsome than him, no?”
After saying these words, Skadi stormed upstairs in anger.
“That child, I didn’t say I disagreed. Why is she so angry?”
“Master, you know women have those days when their temper just res up, right?” Justin said with a
chuckle.
Zakariah red at Justin. “You little brat, did I ask you to speak?”
Justin shrunk his neck. “I’ll keep quiet now!”
Zakariah put Yoyo down. “Yoyo, go upstairs andfort Skadi!”
Yoyo happily ran upstairs.
Zakariah then turned to Justin and asked, “How did you handle the
situation at Innovate Collective just now?”
Justin recounted everything that happened, including Nash telling
Shani that he was sparing her life out of consideration for the Zell family. Zakariah listened with bated
breath. He only rxed when he heard that the person who bullied Shani was Nash.
“What Nash said at the end was really important. Otherwise, M would definitelye to cause us
trouble!”
Just as Zakariah said that, the phone on the table rang. A student picked it up and ran over with it.
Zakariah took the phone with a wry smile on his face. “Speak of the devil and he shall appear.”
After hesitating for a moment, he answered the phone. “Mn, my granddaughter has never met your
granddaughter before. It was a misunderstanding!”
“Yes, it was just a misunderstanding!
“Well, Zakariah, my friend, the Capiton Martial Arts Association has added the vice president position. I
wonder if you have any thoughts on that?” Mn asked with a friendly expression.
Zakariah instantly thought of the effect of Nash’s words. The vice president position in the Capiton
Martial Arts Association would surely offer higher authority and sry than his current position.
However, having spent decades in Jonford, he could not bear to leave the people and things here.
Capiton was a ce full of hidden talents and fiercepetition among prominent families.
With his level of expertise, he would just be a small fish in a big pond. there. It was better to stay in
Jonford and climb up the ranks in the
Chamber of Commerce.
After a moment of contemtion, Zakariah smiled and said, “Mn,
my old friend, I appreciate your kindness. I’m someone who values
old ties. I don’t have ns to move anywhere else for now.”
It was silent in Baroque’s conference room. Dressed in professio attire with her hair tied back neatly,
Hera looked very much the ima
of a capable woman as she sat upright in her chair. Her cold eyes were fixed on a middle-aged man
who was making a phone call.
The man continued dialing the number, but it seemed like no one was picking up. He tried several
times without sess.
Hera sneered. “If you can’t get through, then stop calling. If this matter isn’t resolved within three days,
I’ll find someone else to
handle it!”
