The people watching were shocked by Howard’s aggressive attack. The three remaining youths were especially astounded by the scene. They met Howard before and were aware that he was Draco’s brother-in-law. He normally treated Draco well, so why did he abruptly decide to attack him?Draco bawled aloud from the assault. “Howard, you must be mad! Why did you hit me?”At that moment, Howard wished he could kill Draco. After Jordan and his people left, everyone in the Carter family panicked because they realized the severity of the situation. If it was not handled well and the Larson family was offended, the Carters could be destroyed at any moment!They could not care about how Zayn had come to know the Larsons. All that mattered at that point was locating Zayn as fast as possible so he could call up Jordan and resolve the misunderstanding. Otherwise, the Carters would be doomed, judging by how furious Jordan and his people were when they left. As a result, he had tried his best to s
It was none other than Faye. Upon noticing her, Zayn’s body shuddered and he felt like crying. Bitterness and sadness welled up in his heart. He lowered his head to avoid her gaze and walked in a different direction to leave. “Zayn!”Faye called out his name. His feet paused for a moment, but then he sped up his pace, not wanting to stay there. Seeing that he was leaving, Faye chased after him. Zayn heard her footsteps and walked even faster, eventually breaking into a run. Faye ran after him, but she was wearing high heels and could not catch up. She accidentally twisted her ankle, fell to the ground, and let out an agonizing scream. Instinctively, Zayn turned around and saw Faye on the floor, her face covered in tears. He had just managed to toughen up his mental state, but the sight of her undid all that. Faye sat on the ground and looked at him sorrowfully. He let out a sigh and chided himself for being useless. Then, he walked over and helped her take a seat on th
“When we went to the countryside carnival last month and I was getting a drink for everyone, I happened to stumble across Jordan having a heat stroke. I ended up saving his life and he was very grateful to me. He said that he owed me a huge favor. It is Grandpa’s birthday today, so I invited him over to boost the Carters’ reputation. Who would have thought that all of you would…” Zayn stopped speaking at that point. He got his point across without needing further explanation. He could clearly see that every Carter family member looked embarrassed. Clap!A loud slap was heard. Howard gave himself a tight slap strenuously and said, “F*ck! I should’ve gotten the drinks that day. If I had known, the one to save Jordan Larson would have been me!”The rest of the family also expressed their remorse. They had all been there at the countryside carnival the month before. They had run out of drinking water and none of them offered to get more, so they tasked Zayn with it. They certainly ha
Zayn sneered, but he continued to feign awkwardness by saying, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to help all of you, but there’s nothing I can do now. It’s true that I saved Jordan’s life and he owed me a favor, but he’s already returned the favor to me.”Upon hearing that, they were dumbstruck. With a sigh, Zayn continued to speak, “Having Jordan come to Grandpa’s birthday was not considered a favor, yet it’s your fault for driving me away halfway through the event and offending him. He was so furious that he wanted to destroy the Carters at one point. I managed to calm him when I called just now, but the favor that he owed me was returned. He is the patriarch of the Larson family. A big shot like him wouldn’ us come at my command.”The expressions on their faces were frozen, and they felt so bad as if they had just gulped down sewage. If they had known this would happen, they would never have kicked Zayn out of the party!A thought occurred to Howard, so he hastily asked, “We’re not
Noticing Faye’s expression, Zayn hastily explained, “Fifi, I won’t just stand by and do nothing when you’re in trouble. I…”Faye interrupted him by saying, “I know. You’ve been telling me a few times and it’s my fault for not believing in you.”Ruby’s expression changed drastically. She asked in haste, “What do you mean? Are you saying that Zayn gave you three million dollars but you rejected him?”Faye bit her lower lip, but she did not speak. Her heart had filled with regret. Zayn told her that he had three million dollars and that he could help her to circumvent the crisis more than once, yet she had never believed him. She had even scolded Zayn bitterly for saying so! Objectively speaking, it truly was not Zayn’s fault. Nevertheless, she still blamed him. Why did Zayn not insist on telling her about it firmly? She would have believed Zayn if he had been a little firmer than he was!The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Mr. Wilson was returning to the cou
Noticing that Faye was really upset, Ruby stopped insulting Zayn. The more she looked at Zayn, the more she found him to be an eyesore. As soon as they reached home, she eagerly ordered Zayn to do chores. In order to make more laundry for him to do, she removed her clothes immediately and tossed them to Zayn, hoping that the work would exhaust the ungrateful man to death!For his part, Zayn did not utter a word and endured it in silence. By the time he was done with the chores, they had already finished dinner. Zayn ate all the leftover food out of hunger. For the rest of the night, Zayn and Faye did not speak to each other. In fact, they did not even meet each other’s eyes. Faye kept her cold countenance and regarded him as an invisible man. By the time he woke up the next day, he saw a brand-new set of divorce papers placed on the dresser. Faye had already signed the papers with a note attached to its side. Faye wrote, ‘Zayn, I’m going to accompany Mr. Wilson tonight. I don’t
“I’m here, Zayn. I managed to make it in 20 minutes, I’m not late, am I?” Jordan had a flattering smile on his face. His back was bent forward ever so slightly as he held a respectful posture. If the Carter family were to witness this scene, they would certainly be rendered speechless from the shock and confusion. Seeing Jordan so sweaty and anxious, Zayn said pensively, “Mr. Larson, you’re not angry with me for calling you over in such a rush and making you get all sweaty, are you?”Jordan shook his head and waved his hand hastily while saying, “No, no! Why would I be angry with you? That’s nonsense.”“You really aren’t angry with me?”“I’m really not angry with you!”Zayn chuckled but did not say anything else and sipped his coffee leisurely. Jordan ordered a cup of coffee as well. He then asked cautiously, “Oh Zayn, did you call me here because you have something to discuss?”Zayn left Jordan hanging for close to a minute before he nodded gently. Zayn had embarrassed Jordan
Jordan mentally cursed Zayn a thousand times because the little brute was too cunning. Zayn’s trick had rendered him speechless, so he could only force a laugh. Zayn had already achieved his goal, so he could not be bothered to make small talk with Jordan anymore. He said straightforwardly, “It’s possible that I will return to the Larsons, but I’ll say this. It was all your fault for making a false claim that I harmed Grandpa four years ago and then kicking me out of the family. I can’t bury the hatchet yet. If your actions please me and ease my anger, I shall return to the family eventually.”Jordan was relieved because he was afraid that Zayn would be too furious to ever return to them. “Alright, Zayn. What sort of compensation are you seeking then? As long as it is within our abilities, we will do our best to fulfill it!”Zayn sipped his coffee and took his time to answer. After a while, he said, “The Larson’s Violet Vision Media Corp has a market value worth 300 million dollars
