"Moira, what's wrong with you?"

Jonah didn't see Jacob and Heidi, but he did notice the abnormal reaction of the beautiful woman beside him.

"I..." Moira went weak at the knees and her mind went blank.

She was really terrified as Yuna and Charlie were from the upper-class of the social pyramid.

If Heidi hadn't stood there, Moira might have gloated at Jacob's misfortune as he was the man who indirectly killed her cousin.

But now, Heidi, the apple of her aunt and uncle's eyes and the well-behaved sweetheart was standing beside Jacob.

What should I do?

Heidi's father ran away before she was even born, and she lost her mother when she was born. For the past few years, her aunty and her uncle have been taking care of her. Does she have to receive all the burdens and responsibilities that she might not be able to handle due to her irresponsible father's actions?

Moira looked at her cute and ignorant niece. She finally decided to do something. She let out a deep breath and looked at the man beside her.

She bit her lips and said softly, "Jonah, I need your help. If you're willing to help me, I will repay you with the rest of my life!"

Jonah was trembling in excitement. "Moira, are you serious?"

He took a step forward and tried to hold Moira in his arms. However, when he saw the small figure behind them...

His eyes widened. He asked Moira with an awkward expression, "Moira, are you trying to let me..."

"Heidi is a poor girl!" Moira was trembling, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Moira was looking at him helplessly. After a moment of silence, Jonah shook his head in pain. He rejected the girl he liked. "I'm sorry, Moira. My dad is just an ordinary businessman..."

"An ordinary businessman?" Moira said with disappointment in her eyes. "I'm sorry, maybe I was too naive."

"Moira..." Jonah frowned, "Speaking of which, she's just a cousin of yours. Don't stir yourself in!"

Jonah tilted his head and glanced at Charlie and Yuna. He said softly, "I heard that Yuna is a crazy shrew. She even disfigured Charlie's female secretary half a year ago!"

Jacob, who was protecting his daughter behind him, sneered at the hall's entrance.

Soon, the two bodyguards reached the mini castle. 'Thud, thud', Jacob punched them in the face, and they fell unconscious on the ground in just a few seconds.
