Chapter 38

Belinda immediately put on a flattering smile. "Mr. Ferguson, Zelda knows she was wrong. She asked me to invite you over today because there's something she wants to tell you." Osbert snorted, his small eyes brimming with disdain. "Hasn't she already married some rich man? Why would she come looking for me now? Is she expecting me to clean up her mess?" "No, no. Mr. Ferguson, you've got it all wrong," Belinda said, her tone dripping with obsequiousness. "Zelda has realized her mistake. She's waiting for you upstairs right now. Please be lenient and go up to see her." Her words conveyed her intention clearly, and Osbert's face broke into a lecherous grin. He understood that Zelda was ready to submit to him. Noticing his expression, Belinda quickly stepped forward. "Mr. Ferguson, why don't you go up first and have a proper chat with Zelda?" Osbert nodded, feeling very pleased with himself. "Alright, I'll give you another chance this time." With that, he turned and headed upstairs.
