Gabriel was dumbstruck. His jaw hung so low that it could fit a child’s fist!Meanwhile, Yvonne’s expression was a sight to behold too. She was completely dumbfounded because she never would have guessed Faye’s freeloading husband, who married into her family, to be the new chairman of Violet Vision Media Corp. It all seemed so strange that she was starting to believe that she was hallucinating!Upon noticing their reactions, Zayn felt rather pleased with himself. He feigned two violent coughs that jolted Sean back to reality. He hastily approached him and asked in an tentative manner, “If I may inquire, are you Zayn Larson, the new chairman of Violet Vision Media Corp?”He felt it was necessary to question him out of earshot to avoid making things overly awkward.He was incredulous of the young man covered in rags. After all, he did not resemble a wealthy tycoon who was capable of producing a large sum of 350 million dollars. Zayn was well aware of Sean’s thoughts. His smile fad
Sean and the others were astonished as well. They were baffled—how had Charlie offended the new chairman? They hastily distanced themselves from Charlie to avoid being involved. The possibility of suffering a similar fate sent a chill down everyone’s spine.Charlie reacted to the situation by aggrievedly questioning, “Sir, what have I done? Why are you firing me?”Zayn stopped in his tracks to spare a glance at Gabriel before he spoke, “You may ask him yourself.”Upon hearing that, Charlie realized that it was Gabriel who had offended the new chairman! He wanted to give himself a tight slap right then and there for having absolutely zero social awareness. It was obvious that the new chairman was having a bad day when he was speaking of Gabriel! However, he hated Gabriel with every fiber because that useless b*st*rd was blind! Gabriel had actually offended the new chairman, and as a result, he had to bite the bullet as well. He could not afford to lose his job as the manager of the H
“So, that’s the case, huh?” Yvonne stated in a rather peculiar tone of voice. “Speaking of which—Yvonne, why are you asking me about Zayn out of nowhere?” Faye questioned incredulously. “Is he with you?”“No, no!” Yvonne denied quickly, “I just happened to run into someone who reminded me of Zayn, which is why I’m asking you out of curiosity. Since I’ve clearly mistaken him for someone else, it’s not a problem then. Let’s meet up some other day, alright?”After hanging up, Yvonne’s captivating eyes wandered as her mind began to run wild. Judging from how Faye sounded, she strongly resented Zayn. It was apparent that the relationship between them was unhealthy. Moreover, it was vital that Zayn kept his identity a secret from Faye so that Yvonne could take advantage of him!Under that sweet disposition, Yvonne was nothing but a fox. She had every man wrapped around her finger, trapped in the palm of her hand. Gabriel had not even laid a finger on her, yet he was already under her sp
“Huh?” Sean was so startled that his mind had drawn a complete blank. He struggled to figure out what tricks the chairman had up his sleeves. He treaded carefully with his words, “Yes, that’s true. In truth, I was only joking with the Carters. I never intended for them to legitimately bring me such a beautiful woman…”Sean carefully noted the changes in Zayn’s expressions at all times. He was anxious beyond belief—the young chairman’s actions were incredibly unpredictable. His agreement between the Carters, which put three million dollars in their possession, was sworn to secrecy. No information was released to any uninvolved parties, yet the new chairman had somehow caught wind of it. From that alone, he could tell that he had extraordinary capabilities.Bang!Zayn slammed the table in outrage. It startled Sean so much that he began to tremble, before stumbling and falling over. “Sean Wilson! How bold of you!”“S-sir, s-sir, sir…” The color had drained out of Sean’s face, leaving
It was all because of Faye Carter, the beauty the Carters had sent over. He remembered—Sean remembered now. Faye was the person who was set as the chairman’s wallpaper.He knew Faye’s name, had a photo of her set as his wallpaper, and even warned Sean to keep his distance. It was obvious that the new chairman had his eyes on Faye!By connecting the dots, Sean had it all figured out…It was obvious that the new chairman had his eyes on Faye, but she was already married. It would be demeaning for him to use his position as chairman to win over Faye. That was why the new chairman was aware of Sean blackmailing Faye for three million dollars to sleep with him. Besides, he looked absolutely fuming!The more Sean thought about it, the clearer the picture in his head. He was thrilled about it, even.With how the new chairman had reprimanded him, it was evident that he was hinting Sean to behave accordingly. Otherwise, he would have made him reject the deal entirely. Instead, why had th
It had just dawned on them that Zayn was nowhere to be found.“Sh*t, where could he be? He must be hiding.”“That has to be the case. Zayn is the epitome of a boy toy. Now that Faye is with Mr. Wilson, can we even count on him to step up and stop it from happening?”“I’m furious just thinking about the incident from earlier. He can’t do anything except ruin things. He exhausted all of his good fortune when he saved Jordan’s life, and he never even took full advantage of his favor! What’s worse is that he didn’t reclaim Jordan’s birthday gifts either! I’ve never met a man as foolish as he is!”“That’s true. If I was the hero who had saved Jordan’s life, I would’ve achieved great heights by now, and built a path of new glory for the Carters!”“Any Tom, Dick or Harry who had the honor of receiving Jordan’s favor would make the most of it, let alone you, Regardless, none of them would ever end up as battered as Zayn!”“Stop talking. I’m on the verge of dying from all this rage!”Due
The front desk receptionist sized Faye up twice, seriousness written all over face. She pursed her lips, before dialing Sean’s line. “Hello, Mr. Wilson, there’s a lady named Faye Carter who wants to see you.”Sean was smoking in his office. His entire body quivered in excitement upon hearing the receptionist’s words. He hurriedly demanded, “Send her in, quickly!”He considered for a moment before adding, “Forget it. I’ll come downstairs and escort her up personally!”After hanging up the call, Sean hastily put out the cigarette and ran to the washroom to rinse his mouth. He chewed on a piece of gum to cover the acrid smell of tobacco and tidied himself up before going downstairs to meet with Faye. He knew without a shadow of a doubt that the beauty who had stolen the heart of the new chairman was in fact Faye. He had to treat her right. The new chairman had been in the office for a few hours and had yet to come out, so Sean was certain that the man was waiting for him to send Faye
Leering at Faye’s exquisite face and her fantastic body, Sean had taken a liking to her almost instantly. However, he was also aware that he would be signing his own death warrant if he ever revealed his true feelings. As a result, he hastily shifted his eyes away from her and admitted truthfully, “Ms. Carter, I won’t go back on what I promised you, naturally. Of course, that is on the condition that you fulfill your end of the deal.”Faye bit her lower lip. “I will abide by your arrangements and do exactly as you tell me!”As soon as the words left her lips, Faye’s heart was heavy with sorrow and agony. She was such a proud woman, yet she had to stoop as low as selling her body now.Sean furrowed his brows upon seeing the state Faye was in. He was slightly displeased so he said, “Ms. Carter, you have to work this out. It was your family who wanted to loan the money from me, and it’s not like I’m forcing you to do this. This is a matter of mutual consent, so don’t make it seem as th
