Zayn immediately knew that it was Annabelle when he heard the sound. She came just as expected. Moreover, he knew that it was Faye’s idea. Otherwise, Annabelle would never be so bold. The footsteps soon arrived at his door. Zayn heard Annabelle place her hand on the door knob in an attempt to open the door, but she did not have the courage to do so. She was anxious and hesitant. Frankly, Zayn felt rather frustrated. Annabelle lingered at the door for one full minute, yet she still could not muster the courage to open it and her breathing quickened. At last, she mustered her courage and opened the door. There was a soft clack. The dim lighting from the corridor shone into the room, followed by a charming silhouette. Who else could it be if not Annabelle?Zayn lay on the bed. Even if his eyes were close, he could tell how Annabelle looked now. She was overwhelmed with complicated emotions. After entering the room, she closed the door gently. Her heart was racing and beat
This time, Annabelle immediately came to understand it. Her face blushed scarlet instantly and she was extremely shy!She understood it well!Hence, the room was ghastly silent until Zayn said, “Go back to your room.”Annabelle clenched her teeth tightly, but she did not back away. On the contrary, she walked over and sat on the edge of Zayn’s bed. She said, “I’m not afraid!”Zayn said nothing.He felt very gloomy that Annabelle had utterly no idea what she had gotten herself into. Let alone an ordinary person like Annabelle, not even Faye and Shaelyn combined were his match. However, he knew that Annabelle would never retreat in the face of difficulties had he not taken some action. Hence, he wrapped his arms around Annabelle’s waist at once. Annabelle was startled just as expected. She shriveled at his touch. “Hey, don’t do that…”“I thought you claimed to be prepared? Why are you scared now?” Zayn's tone was tainted with a tinge of mockery. Annabelle was stuttering. Zayn
More accurately, her real identity was not Faye Carter and she was not the biological daughter of Waine and Ruby Carter. She had been adopted by Waine and Ruby. This was a secret that Waine and Ruby did not even know themselves!Waine and Ruby’s memories had been tampered with!In her dream, she was constantly running and there were numerous people chasing after her. The dense fog dispersed gradually and slowly turned the blurry scene crystal-clear. “Hydra, my sweet daughter. Why are you always trying to avoid me when I’m your father? You’ve already recovered your memories and you know that you don’t belong to the common word. Why won’t you open your heart to me?”Faye could hear a middle-aged man’s voice in her mind. The voice was filled with aggression and it was deafening without being loud. It was not the voice of a common man. It sounded like the voice came from the sky, like that of a god. Faye listened to the voice way too many times, and it was the voice that she feare
“It’s him! My father!”Shaelyn asked in astonishment, “Your father? Isn’t your father Mr. Waine Carter?”Faye shook her head and said, “No. Waine is my adopted father. I’m talking about him, my biological father. He’s about to find… He’s taking me away from here to go back to that icy cold place… But I don’t want to go back. Sob…”Even Shaelyn could not help feeling extremely shocked upon hearing that. Her jaw dropped in surprise. She knew that Faye had been having nightmares for a while, she had no idea that she was not the daughter of the Carters and had another identity!Shaelyn patted her and said, “Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. You have Zayn and he will certainly be able to protect you…”However, Faye interrupted her in a panic before she could finish her sentence. Faye hastily covered her mouth. “Don’t mention Zayn! He’s going to kill Zayn! If he finds Zayn, Zayn will die. He’s going to die…”Shaelyn was shocked even more after that, but after the momentary shock, s
Meanwhile, Zayn did not have the slightest inkling as to Faye’s situation over there. It was because he had already entered a meditative state. He had blocked all his senses. He woke up early in the morning the next day and was highly energetic when he went to prepare breakfast. Faye and Shaelyn were already up by the time he was done preparing the breakfast. Their eyes were slightly red which was an obvious sign of them crying. Zayn noticed it instantly and said, “Did both of you cry last night?”Faye and Shaelyn were not flustered because they thought of an excuse in advance. They claimed that they watched a sad TV show the night before. Zayn did not ponder further. After all, he was a very powerful man, especially when he was in Rheasia. No sane person would possibly provoke his family members. It did not take long before Annabelle was up as well. She had dark circles under her eyes, an obvious sign that she had not slept well. They could not help feeling astounded. Could
Zayn felt very comfortable handing over his business empire to these three people. He then got to understand their professional work one by one and learned that they managed Larson Group very well together. The business was thriving. As he approached the airport, Zayn said directly, “Have the company focus on high-tech weapons development and produce a weapon with highest lethality within the shortest period of time that ordinary people can use.”The three of them could not help but be stunned upon hearing Zayn’s remark. They could not think of a response immediately, and they wondered why Zayn was developing military weapons out of nowhere. In the end, Luke said, “Sir, are you planning on developing military weapons? As far as I know, the country monopolized the industry, so it’s not appropriate for us to get involved, is it?”Rheasia was different from other countries indeed. The country had monopolized all military-related technology development. Zayn waved his hand dismis
“What? Samuel was beaten to death?”In a large-scale summer resort, a loud, raging roar was suddenly heard. A powerful soundwave spread from the house all at once and spread into the surroundings. Countless birds and animals in the mountain fled in fear. It was fortunate that there were not many guests in the summer resort. Otherwise, the people would certainly be petrified. Even if that was the case, everyone in the summer resort was still so startled by it. It was a ferocity that could be felt in the depths of their souls. They were so fearful deep inside that they hastily bowed down without any ounce of resistance. It was an old man whose inner eyebrows were lower at a pronounced angle. He had an especially ferocious and overbearing appearance that complemented his angry expression. He exuded a ferocious presence that stirred fear in people’s hearts. He was extremely furious. He could not contain his anger anymore when he found out that Samuel had been killed!“Who is th
However, he had no control over the trend. He was trivial in comparison to the power of the whole world. He was akin to a splash of water in a flood. Since he could not change it, he would do his best to protect the people around him. It was his hope and also his responsibility. He finally landed in Yando City two hours later. Every time he returned there, Zayn was in a different mood. After landing in Yando City, he could clearly feel that its temperature was much lower than Waltz City in the south. It was winter and it had already dropped below 0 degree celsius. The low temperature meant nothing to him, of course. His body was like a fireplace, so he would not feel cold even if he was only wearing a single layer of clothing. Hence, he drew the attention of some people when he showed up at the airport. Everyone else was wearing down jackets and coats while he was wearing just a short-sleeved shirt and appeared so different from the rest. After exiting the airport, he w
