Mr. Hyde was the other mysterious man in Waltz City. No one knew his real name; they were only aware that his moniker was Mr. Hyde. He was the king of Waltz City’s underworld with numerous subordinates serving under him, and his loyalty spread over a wide span of areas as well. He was almost peerless in Waltz City. As a result, there was a saying in Waltz City that one would rather offend the Larsons than Mr. Hyde!Albeit the Larsons being so powerful that they put others in despair, they would still handle matters through socially acceptable means and exercise proper limits at the very least. However, it was different with Mr. Hyde. He was not only powerful but had an endless stream of tricks up his sleeves. He would never play by the rules and was as ruthless as he could get. Moreover, he had a very mysterious background and his influence even spanned across a few cities around Waltz City. He was an exceedingly terrifying man. As a result, even the richest people within the so
He muttered to himself continuously, “I’m doomed, I’m doomed…”After slapping Nathan, Mr. Hyde began to march toward Zayn and stood next to him before he greeted Zayn as ‘Mr. Larson’ respectfully in a similar manner. The respect displayed in his posture even surpassed that of Sean and Hector’s. Anyone would be horrified to witness his reverence. Next, Mr. Hyde’s gaze swept past the crowd, and he said in an overbearing, icy cold tone, “I work for Mr. Larson. Whoever dares to go against Mr. Larson will be my enemy, so consider the consequences properly.”His statement was akin to a blizzard that poured down on everyone’s heads. It made them feel a chill that pierced their bones and made them shudder. Zayn shifted his gaze from below the stage to William and said, “William, it’s time for you to carry out your promise.”All at once, everyone looked toward William. The incident tonight had already surpassed William’s expectations completely. He felt stress, fear, regret, confusio
Apart from being conceited, he had a temper too. He could see how the Smiths had treated him earlier. Nevertheless, out of respect for Alexandra, he did not make things difficult for the Smiths. “Hold on!” Alexandra hastily called out to Zayn. “Yeah?”Alexandra was blushing shyly from his stare. She said in a girlish tone, “I have yet to buy you dinner to thank you for doing me such a huge favor. Why don’t you stay and have dinner here?”Victor immediately stepped forward and said enthusiastically, “That’s right, Zayn. We’re fortunate to have had your help tonight. You should stay for dinner.” He spoke to Zayn as if he was determined to be Zayn’s future father-in-law. The joy and excitement in his gaze could not be concealed anymore. What a joke! The person before him was actually the chairman of Violet Vision, the employer of Mr. Hyde and still so young. Zayn’s future was limitless! If he could marry someone in the Smith family for real, the Smiths would be advancing to the to
The rest of the people shared the same doubt too. Alexandra shook her head and said, “I don’t know either.”Rachel held Alexandra’s hand and asked softly, “Sweetie, since he’s the man who married into the Carters, how does he get to be with you then? Isn’t he cheating in that sense?”“He’s already gotten a divorce from his wife.”Upon hearing that, Rachel and Victor exchanged glances. They were both relieved for a moment, yet Alexandra heaved a sigh immediately before saying nonchalantly, “I lied to both of you about something. Zayn and I aren’t dating. We’re just platonic friends.”“What?”Everyone in the Smith family could not help gasping aloud. …After getting out of the hotel, Zayn and his group of people were immediately surrounded by numerous people downstairs. The vast majority of these people were guests from the party earlier. Despite leaving the party early, they did not leave the location immediately. Instead, they were waiting outside the hotel despite it already
Thomas shouted so loudly with excitement apparent in his voice. The expression on his face was fervent as if he was meeting God Himself. His reaction startled the people in the surroundings whereas the bombshell standing next to him was dumbstruck in bewilderment as well. Indeed, Thomas had noticed Zayn. After all, Zayn was right in front of him, surrounded by the numerous experienced business owners who were flattering and cajoling him. Since Thomas shouted so loudly and he was standing nearby, Zayn heard him. Upon hearing the voice, Zayn looked over and met Thomas’s eyes. Complicated emotions flashed in his gaze for a moment, then he shifted his gaze and pretended not to hear him. Strictly speaking, he was no longer Thomas’s brother-in-law now because he had already gotten a divorce from Faye. As a result, he pretended not to hear Thomas in order to avoid disrupting Faye’s life. Nevertheless, that was not the case for Thomas. He was obviously aware that Zayn had already not
“There are a lot of attention-seekers out there these days.”Thomas felt awful upon hearing that. He attempted to explain himself with great effort, but no one believed him. Even the bombshell who idolized him previously was looking at him with a strange gaze. She felt that he must be bluffing, so her attitude toward him turned much colder. In the end, she made up an excuse and left. Thomas felt even more terrible when this happened. He was so aggrieved that he was inconsolable. He hastily went home in a rush because he wanted to clarify with his sister and find out why his brother-in-law refused to acknowledge him. Moreover, his brother-in-law had not returned home in so many days. His instinct told him that something bad must have happened. As a result, he rushed back home as fast as he could to clarify the situation!Zayn hopped into Mr. Hyde’s car and left the hotel while Sean and Hector followed from behind. Zayn never expected Thomas to be here. He felt very uneasy being ca
“What’s going on with Zayn?” Faye clutched Thomas’s shoulder vehemently. She clutched him so tightly that her nails dug into Thomas’s flesh and made him grit his teeth in pain. “It hurts, Faye. It hurts!”Faye could only loosen her grasp on Thomas. She had no idea why she was so agitated beyond her control. Her voice was tainted with anger as she demanded, “Can you please finish your sentence in one go!?”Thomas was terrified by her angry roar. His neck retracted in fear and he spoke, aggrieved, “I came running home, didn’t I? I haven’t caught my breath yet.”Ruby said from the side, “Stop blabbering and quickly tell us what happened. Did that deadbeat Zayn get himself in some trouble again?”Thomas swallowed a gulp of saliva then inhaled a deep breath conveniently to soothe his breathlessness. Then, he said, “Faye, I saw Zayn. He was at Waltz Hotel…Oh, right, Faye, why hasn’t Zayn come home for the past few days?”Upon hearing Thomas’s question, Faye’s heart was overwhelmed wit
After he said that, the three family members were completely stunned, especially Ruby and Waine. The two of them were completely dumbfounded as their eyes were wide open, unable to believe that whatever had just been said was true!It took Ruby a long while before she finally said, “Thomas, you must’ve been mistaken. How could a deadbeat like Zayn be some kind of largely influential figure?”Waine was also expressing his doubts on his face. ‘How could we not be clear about what Zayn’s background is, especially after he’s married into the Carters for four years?’Faye was the only one who shook her head stiffly as she kept it lowered. Furthermore, she was also filled with a bottomless complex expression at that moment.Frankly, deep down within Faye’s heart, she actually believed what Thomas had said, even if just a little.However, the more she felt that way, the more unhappy she was about it.Thomas tried his very best to make his point go through as he said, “It’s true! Why wou
