Chapter 275
Maisy hung up and immediately opened WhatsApp to receive the video. As soon as she played it, her expression changed drastically.
The footage showed Maisy and Kenny hugging and kissing in the car. She had been at a bar that night, and he had caught her.
Maisy had to take this desperate measure to win Kenny’s trust and ensure he would keep it a secret from their family.
However, she was rather indifferent toward moral standards. She could even accept it if Kenny wanted to sleep with her.
But even if Maisy could come to terms with it, she doubted others would. The Williams family could never find out about the video.
She could not believe how despicable Christopher was. He had actually followed her!
Maisy knew she had to pay him. So, she could only bite her lip and forward the video to Kenny. She even added a pitiful emoji.
Maisy’s message read, “Kenny, someone filmed us in the car that night and is using the video to blackmail me for one million dollars. I don’t have that much money. I’m still 500 thousand dollars short.
“Could you transfer that amount to me? Our family can never know that I like you. Otherwise, I couldn’t bear the guilt, and it’d also implicate you,”
When Kenny watched the video Maisy sent, his face flushed with embarrassment. He never imagined that someone would record their intimate moment in the car and
was now using it to blackmail her.
Maisy was already feeling bad because she had feelings for Kenny. He knew she
would be devastated if the video fell into their family’s hands.
At that thought, Kenny felt a pang of guilt. After all, Maisy genuinely liked him. Despite not knowing how to handle or confront this love, he understood that he
could not let her down.

Kenny had to protect and stand up for Malsy in such a situation, even if she was his sister.
He immediately called her. “Maisy, where are you now?”
“Kenny, I’m outside. I’m scared, and I don’t know what to do. I know it’s a video of us, but I didn’t want this to happen either. I can’t control my feelings. I’m truly in love with you.”
Maisy’s distressed and helpless cries came through the phone, pulling at Kenny’s heartstrings. No woman had ever shown him love that was so humble and desperate.
“I’ll transfer one million to you now, and you’ll pay the person. Make sure they delete the video. Don’t worry, Maisy. I’ll protect you,” Kenny promised solemnly.
No matter what would happen in the future or how things would turn out between them, he would never let anyone harm her.
“Thank you, Kenny. I know my feelings for you are wrong and shameful. But whenever I’m in danger, you’re always there to protect me. I love you, Kenny,” Maisy replied, her voice choked with emotions.
Kenny’s eyes reddened slightly upon hearing those words.
“Maisy, loving someone isn’t something you can control. Your feelings for me aren’t wrong. It’s just that I have a lot to figure out now and can’t give you a definite answer. But remember, loving me doesn’t mean you’re a bad person.”
Maisy was still sobbing as she answered, “Thank you, Kenny. I’ll heed your advice. Please don’t let Mom and Dad know that I like you. They would never approve. To them, my feelings are absolutely wrong.”
And so, Kenny promised Maisy he would keep it a secret.
After hanging up, Kenny transferred one million dollars to Maisy. There was not

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
