“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
In an indoor swimming pool located in a luxurious villa belonging to the Carters, it was clearly snowing heavily outside which caused the temperature to be chilling to the bone. However, the villa, which was more than 2000 square meter and wrapped within a huge barrier, was as hot as a summer’s day. This was because there were highly efficient heaters placed in every direction, continuously heating up the place. Hence, this was what caused the indoors of the villa to seem as if it was a summer’s day.At the time, there were more than a dozen young women swimming in the pool.Furthermore, on the beach chair next to the pool laid a man whose fair complexion was literally glistening and filled with elasticity. Furthermore, he had attractive muscular lines that are much more pleasant to look at than most body-builders. The main reason for that was because his muscles were filled with explosive energy. The man was enjoying having four extremely beautiful women serve him, where two of them
‘Right now, I can easily crush a 30cm-wide tree with my bare fists.’It was snowing particularly heavily at that moment, covering the surrounding area in a blanket of white.In that chilly environment, two figures leaped about as they engaged in an intense fight.Footprints covered the area one kilometer around them. With every step, the footprint left would quickly be covered by the heavy snowfall, only for another footprint to be made moments later.The two of them were moving at extremely high speeds, surpassing the limits of most people. Thankfully, they were in a rather remote location with few passersby. Anyone that came across them would have been thoroughly shocked by the sight and might even think they were seeing ghosts.“I concede.”After 10 minutes, the two figures finally stopped. Zayn’s fingers were wrapped around Mr. Hyde’s neck and his fingernails had already dug into his skin, causing him to bleed a little. All it would take to slit his throat neck was for Zayn t
Zayn’s heart wrenched when he saw that familiar face! He began breathing rapidly and his mind immediately went blank!As it happened, Zayn was driving at 60km per hour. In his momentary daze, he almost drove into the car ahead of him. He was so shocked that he hurriedly braked and ended up half a meter away from the vehicle in front.His sudden stop shocked the surrounding people including that ‘familiar figure.’Coincidentally, Zayn’s car had ended up right beside that figure, who was staring right at him. Thankfully, Zayn’s windows were tinted, so outsiders were unable to see whatever was happening inside. Thus, although she was looking in his direction, she was not able to see Zayn and merely raised an eyebrow unhappily. ‘This guy is speeding so recklessly. He nearly splashed the dirty water on the ground onto my pants.’When Zayn realized that he was being stared at by this ‘familiar person,’ he felt anxious all of a sudden.He quickly relaxed when he realized that she was una
Mr. Collins had investigated Neotech’s history and found out that the company had risen from the ashes after receiving an investment of 15 million dollars. Additionally, Neotech was developing more and more with Faye as the company’s chairman. Therefore, it was unlikely that she would have been there alone. Faye shook her head and said with a smile, “I’m here with my secretary. That’s her over there.”Mr. Collins followed Faye’s eyes and saw a bespectacled woman walking over with a briefcase. When she stood before Faye, she said, “Madam, I’ve bought you your med…”“Ahem!” Faye immediately coughed to interrupt her before signalling her with her eyes and said, “Mr. Collins, since I’m already here, why don’t we find a place to sit down and talk about our arrangement? What do you think?”Naturally, Mr. Collins’s interest had piqued when he heard what Faye’s secretary had just said, but he pretended not to have noticed. Smiling, he answered, “Of course I’m going to have to entertain yo
When Mr. Collins’s Maserati Quattroporte stopped in front of The Oasis, Faye’s secretary’s eyes immediately widened and she said, “Oh my god, Mr. Collins. You’re planning to take us to The Oasis?!” Her eyes were filled with admiration as she gawked at him.When Mr. Collins saw the exaggerated expression on Faye’s secretary’s face, his smile became even brighter and could not conceal his glee. Nevertheless, he still feigned nonchalance as he chuckled and said, “Of course I have to take Ms. Carter to the most high-end place since it’s an occasion that she requested to meet me for a business discussion.”When Mr. Collins spoke, he deliberately straightened himself up and got out his very own VIP membership card, which was inlaid with real gold. Just one glance was enough to tell that the card was invaluable.On the other hand, Faye did not seem to have ever heard of it before, so she asked out of curiosity, “Is The Oasis a very special place?”When Mr. Collins heard that, he seemed ta
”Don’t worry, Ms. Carter. Guests of The Oasis have absolute privacy, so any confidential matters we discuss here will never be leaked out,” Seamus declared confidently. He felt proud to be able to mention the name ‘The Oasis.’Actually, Faye was not as calm as she tried to appear. In fact, she was still quite shocked after hearing about the 750 thousand dollar membership registration fee. This was because Seamus’s guess was right. Although Faye had become the chairman of Neotech, she had not earned that much money herself. Therefore, in terms of status, she was nothing extraordinary. “I’m sorry for having to make you spend this much.” Faye had to struggle to remain calm, especially since she was now a chairman. It would be unbecoming if she were to behave like a country bumpkin after personally coming out to conduct a business meeting. Doing so could cause her to lose her advantage during their negotiations.“It’s nothing at all.” Seamus suddenly looked directly at Faye and said wi
