Chapter 7 A Forced Kiss
1013 Words
After saying goodbye to Jordan Yale and Zoila Mooney, Zachary Leinster led Yvonne Taylor to an empty corner.
Only then did Yvonne realize that her heart was beating faster. Facing this man who was much more mature than her, she was so nervous.
The man didn't say a word, nor did Yvonne.
Just as they were about to turn, the man suddenly stepped forward and cornered her against the wall.
"Zachary Leinster!" Yvonne exclaimed in panic.
Zachary's handsome face suddenly loomed large in the girl's vision, and his warm, sweet breath fanned across her cheeks.
"What's wrong?" He chuckled and said, "Aren't you going to call me Mr. Leinster anymore?"
Lifting the girl's chin with his slender fingers, Zachary placed his other hand against the wall behind her.
Then he looked down at her from above, and a very aggressive masculine aura emanated from him.
Yvonne pursed her red lips and stared at him.
"Are you scared?"
"Didn't you say you liked him?"
"Or did you just lie to them?"
Yvonne immediately pushed him away and exclaimed, "No!"
"I didn't lie!" she thought.
She looked at Zachary with her beautiful eyes, which were full of sincerity.
However, she couldn't tell him that she had been reborn.
"Then..."
Zachary was lost in thought as he pursed his thin lips.
"Give me a kiss?"
"You..."
"Sly old fox," Yvonne thought.
Her face instantly turned red as she mumbled, "I... I'm going to buy my father a birthday present today. I'm not going to mess with you anymore."
After that, she quickly slipped out from under the man's arm and trotted all the way away.
Zachary watched her retreating back, a panicked expression on his face, and then curved his lips into a smile.
"This is what she looks like when she's shy," he thought.
"Hey!"
At that moment, the girl who had just run off suddenly turned around.
"Zachary Leinster."
"Hmm?"
Yvonne blushed again as she looked at Zachary. "You can't fall in love with anyone else!" she mumbled.
Then she ran back, stood on tiptoe, cupped Zachary's handsome face, and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.
"You're mine!"
After that, she blushed bright red and quickly ran away.
"Good heavens!"
"What just happened?"
"Did I kiss my father's business rival?" she thought.
Yvonne felt her heart was about to leap out of her chest. How could this man be so sexy? It was just a kiss... Now she was so excited that her legs felt weak...
Yvonne's heart pounded.
It turned out that the feeling of being reborn was so wonderful.
The next night...
The Taylor family's villa was bustling with activity.
Today was Frank Taylor's birthday. Besides his family members, he had invited some of Hiltonan's celebrities to his birthday party.
Sarah Mooney had already started preparing for the birthday banquet a month ago. Yesterday, she had annoyed Frank, and now, she was even more attentive, trying to regain some of his favor.
Of course, Zoila Mooney wouldn't be outdone. The mother and daughter would do everything they could to show off at the birthday party. Moreover, they hoped that Yvonne would make a fool of herself and ruin her reputation in front of the Hiltonan celebrities.
The birthday party began at six-thirty in the evening.
At this moment, the Taylor family's villa was decorated with lanterns and streamers.
The living room was filled with elites from all walks of life, dressed in exquisite clothes and with fragrant hair. They drank and chatted animatedly.
Today, Zoila wore a Valentino haute couture dress, while Sarah wore a classic cheongsam. Both mother and daughter were slender and beautiful.
They stood beside Frank Taylor, who was being well-attended to. Although everyone knew that Zoila wasn't his biological daughter, they couldn't help but envy her filial and obedient demeanor.
"Mr. Taylor, your wife and daughter are so beautiful. What a blessing!"
"That's right. Young Miss Taylor is an excellent student, and she's always been the best in the social circle!"
"It would be fantastic if my son could be half as good as Young Miss Taylor."
"You flatter me," Frank replied, thanking his guests. As he did so, he unconsciously kept glancing towards the villa's entrance.
It was clear he was waiting for someone else.
A week ago, Yvonne had argued with him and threatened not to attend his birthday party if Zoila was there. However, she had taken the initiative to hug him yesterday at noon, and perhaps she would come after all.
Sarah, who was dressed in a black cheongsam, knew what he was thinking. She approached him with a glass of liquor in her hand.
"Frank, the birthday party started a while ago. Where has Yvonne gone?"
Frank's face darkened, and he didn't answer.
Sarah wanted to seize this opportunity to strike back, so she casually said, "She went out early this morning. I told her not to forget that today is your birthday. It seems she's forgotten while enjoying herself outside..."
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, just loud enough to be heard by several of Frank's business associates around them.
Everyone started talking about it.
"It's her father's birthday, but she's not here. It's a shame that Frank treats his daughter so well."
"That's right. A stepmother like Mrs. Taylor is good enough. She's going too far!"
"I heard that Miss Taylor has a bad temper and has done many things that fit the identity of a spoiled young lady. She's also very poor in her studies and has failed more than a dozen subjects in one year at university! If she were my biological daughter, I might cut ties with her too. Anyway, young Miss Tong is excellent."
As soon as Yvonne entered the door, she heard several people at the entrance talking about her in this way.
She pursed her lips and pushed open the large golden door.
In the eyes of the other guests, the girl shone in her golden dress like a goddess queen from heaven, domineering and dazzling.
"Who said I wouldn't come today?"
