Zayn remained as the gathering’s laughing stock after Faye left. Nonetheless, he was, of course, unaffected by them. Not only was he not angered, but he also smiled meaningfully. He was rather interested now. What would these people look like when Cristian came later?His calm composure, to them, became the sign of shamelessness, and they were further peeved by him.Moses received a call at that moment and sprang up, looking surprised and giddy. “You’re here? Okay, alright. I’ll come out to welcome you right now!”Hanging up, he took a deep breath and flashed a grin at everyone. “Good news, guys. Cristian’s here and he’s coming right up.”“Wow!”“The celeb’s here!”“I’m sooo excited!”The mood peaked as everyone got ecstatic over the arrival of the singer. Zayn was the only one shaking his head in discretion, thinking that these people were boring. Was there a need to look like they were meeting a deity when they were, in fact, only seeing a small-time star?Moses went out to w
Moses could not hold it in and guffawed first after he said the words. The rest of his old schoolmates followed, the chorus of laughter loudly bubbling through the hotel.Cristian was taken aback. He did not join in the laughter, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding. “Mr. Belon, where’s this person you mention?”Moses jabbed a finger. “There, that’s him.”When Cristian's eyes followed Moses’ finger, he saw a man dressed casually with his legs crossed sitting on a chair and munching on some nuts. There was no one around him and he looked lonely by himself.Despite that, the man did not appear awkward or upset by his situation. Instead, there was an easy smile on his face like he was unfazed by any of it.Cristian felt a tremor run through him when he got a clear view of the man. His eyes bulged and he could not believe who it was!Was that not Violet Vision’s chairman who he had just met two days ago? Why was he there?Cristian dared not trust his senses. His first instinct was
All they could see was Cristian standing upright as he faced Zayn. Then, with a 90-degree bow, his voice was extremely respectful and humbled as he shouted, “Sir, it was my mistake for behaving like that previously. I’m sorry for being so rude and offending you. I hope that you won’t keep the matter to heart and be merciful by giving me another chance, sir.”Cristian was extremely earnest as he said that, his eyes had gone red and he had a sincere attitude as he begged desperately. He was completely different from how he had been cold and arrogant previously. ‘If the chairman still refuses to forgive me, I’ll get down on my knees without a second thought.’The crowd had become so eerily silent that anyone could have heard the sound of a pin dropping.Everyone was stunned and their minds went blank momentarily. They could not believe that whatever had just happened was true. ‘Cristian actually bowed respectfully to Faye’s husband and even desperately begged for forgiveness? What’s go
“Faye, you’re really something else! How could you not have told us that your husband is so awesome?”“That’s right. You’ve clearly married into a wealthy family, yet you were so modest by saying you weren’t. That’s just absurd. Were you afraid that we would snatch your husband away from you?”“That’s what I was saying. Faye used to be the prettiest girl in our school and is perfect, so how could she have been married to a commoner?”“Exactly…”The moment Faye walked over, she was surrounded by a bunch of her female classmates who were continuously currying favor with her. This dumbfounded Faye completely since she did not know what had just happened. “What are you talking about? Why don’t I understand a word you’re saying?”“Look at you, still feigning ignorance. You’re actually afraid that we’d snatch your husband away from you.”“That’s right. Your husband was so cool just now. Even Cristian respectfully called him Mr. Larson just now. That was so freaking awesome! Speaking of
Zayn grabbed the opportunity to hold her hand and revealed a warm smile to her.Faye struggled for a moment, but when she noticed that she could not break free, she allowed Zayn to hold her hand as he pleased.‘Speaking of which, this is actually the first time Zayn has held my hand since we were married for so long. It actually hurts a little.’Then, some people amongst the crowd were happy while some were sad. Many of Faye’s male classmates who secretly loved her could not help but feel jealous. When they saw that their female goddess for many years had finally found her other half, they could not help but feel envious and jealous of Zayn.This was especially true for Moses, whose eyes had turned icy-cold as he clenched his fists tightly with his teeth grinding against each other.‘I’ve gone through so much to prepare for tonight’s gathering, even going so far as to bear all the expenses incurred and even inviting Cristian over to perform, just to show off in front of everyone w
Zayn was able to react quickly, thus he instantly stepped on the brakes.The air was instantly filled with the sound of his tires screeching and rubbing on the floor, followed by a faint burning smell.However, even so, Zayn was still unable to brake in time, and he crashed into the car in front of him, causing the other car to have a huge dent in the middle.Due to the huge inertia, Faye could not help but lean forward, causing her chest to be lacerated by her seat belt.“Oh, no, how did we end up hitting another car again?” Faye cried nervously.Soon, the two cars behind them surrounded their car. At the same time, two to three large hunks got out of all three cars and surrounded both Zayn and Faye.“Where are your eyes? Do you know how to drive? You’ve completely wrecked my car! Get out of the car right now!”A large and tall hunk slammed Zayn’s car bonnet with a loud bang. He had a very fierce expression on his face, and it was obvious that he was definitely hostile.When F
“Boss, leave it to me!” One of the large hunks who had very ripped muscles had a cruel smile on his face. He then cracked his knuckles as he walked towards Zayn, glaring at him with an extremely arrogant expression on his face. “Hey there, boy, be a good boy and pay up that 30 thousand dollars. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rough on you!”Zayn looked at him like a village idiot and said, “Fool.”“What the f*ck!” The large hunk raised his fist in a rage and was about to swing it at Zayn’s face.As Faye watched the whole thing very clearly from inside the car, her heart seemed to skip a beat. She opened the door and loudly said, “Stop! You’re racketeering right now! I’m calling the police!”When the men heard that, the expression on their faces instantly changed. “B*tch, you guys were the ones who hit my car, yet you have the nerve to call the police? Do you even value your lives?!”As he said that, the bald hunk walked forwards and intended to grab Faye.However, before he e
When Faye said that, apart from being shocked, she was mostly disappointed in him. Her impression of Moses had always been pretty good. As one of the top students when they were in school, he could not have become that much worse after graduating.‘However, after tonight, I’m utterly disappointed in Moses’s behavior. Not only was he a grandiose and a show-off during the school gathering, but he also even sent some gangsters to exact his revenge.’Moses’s character had already been distorted, hence when he faced Faye’s question, he revealed a menacing expression on his face. “Why am I doing this? You actually still have the nerve to ask me why I’m doing this?!“Just now, at the school gathering, you must’ve been extremely elated to be able to show off like that, weren’t you? Even Cristian has to behave so respectfully towards your husband. You must feel so proud! Now, I want the both of you to behave the same way as you did in front of me again!”As Moses spoke, he became more and
