Faye had no choice but to acknowledge that Lucius was rather good-looking and many times more handsome than Zayn. They were on completely different levels. Lucius was tall, slender, and dressed in a white suit just like Prince Charming. There was no telling how many women he could conquer. Had it not been for the shared experience between Faye and Zayn and their deeply rooted feelings, it was inevitable that she would be attracted to Lucius. Looking at Lucius with an indifferent expression, Faye did not feel any infatuation as she greeted him, “Pleased to meet you, Mr. Drakos.”A look of displeasure flashed past Lucius’s gaze for a moment when he noticed Faye’s apathy toward him. It was well-known in this social circle that he had lost count of how many married women wanted to strike up a relationship with him, but he gave no mind to their flattery. It was his first time meeting a woman who ignored him. With his arrogant temperament, Faye’s attitude had offended him. However, th
She had been raised a conservative, traditional woman of virtue since she was a child. She really could not bring herself to do this. Aside from the fact that her emotional connection to Zayn had deepened, even if this was back when Zayn was still a useless deadbeat, she would not allow herself to do something so outrageous. However, Miranda had already given her suggestion, so it would be inappropriate for Faye to refuse. She could only stay for the time being while she waited for Zayn’s arrival. Lucius took a seat next to her and poured her a glass of red wine. He said with a smile, “Ms. Carter, you don’t look like a married woman at all. You’re too young, too pure. I’ve encountered many young married women in my life, yet you don’t possess the qualities of one at all. I’m really curious as to how you do it.”From his seat right beside her, he leaned in close. As he was talking, he purposely placed his arm over the back of the sofa behind her. His posture was quite invasive an
When Zayn heard the surprise in Faye’s voice, he was startled for a moment before he nodded his head and said, “Yes, I’ve just arrived downstairs. So, are you going to come down or should I head up?”Faye then said, “I’ll come down. Give me a moment.”“Alright.”After hanging up the phone, Faye then said to Lucius, “My husband’s arrived, so I’ll have to take my leave now, Mr. Drakos.”Lucius’s lips twitched slightly because Faye’s behavior towards him that night came as a shock to him. In fact, he even doubted his attractiveness once more.Chivalrous as a gentleman, he stood up and said, “Since your husband’s already arrived, why don’t you call him up so that we can get to know each other? Who knows? Your husband might want to join our circle.”When Lucius said that, there was a hit of teasing and playfulness in his expression. However, he was not lying because that was a fact. There were many legally married couples in their circle who had various activities of their own and wer
“Ho-ho, don’t we dare? I’m going to rip your clothes off. Let’s see if you can still maintain your moral high ground.”“That’s right. You’re just a measly chairman to an insignificant lighting company which means nothing to us, yet you have the gall to offend us? You must really have a death wish!”“Come on, let’s not waste any time on her and just get on with it. Let’s rip her clothes off and get it on video to use against her. Otherwise, this b*tch is definitely going to expose us.”When the others heard this, the expression on their faces changed slightly. ‘She’s right. What we’re doing here is socially unacceptable, so the moment word of this gets out and our spouses find out about this, our lives are going to be ruined.‘To ensure that our secret remains safe, we’ve got to get rid of this underlying threat permanently!‘What’s the most reliable method we have right now? Let’s drag her down into the mud with us—that should ensure the safety of our secret.’For a moment, every
Zayn could not shake the feeling that something was not right after he hung up.In fact, Zayn had always been a person who was extremely observant. Therefore, when Faye first called him, he realized that she sounded as if she was hiding. Based on her tone alone, he could tell in a heartbeat that something was amiss. Plus, she sounded a little panicked. To him, it was off-putting to how calm and graceful she usually was, which meant that Faye wanted to leave that place. Furthermore, she could not leave on her own and needed someone to pick her up so that she could escape, thus she had called Zayn and especially emphasized for him to drive his car there.On top of that, he knew that Faye desperately needed him based on how pleasantly surprised she sounded.After waiting for two minutes, there was still no sign of Faye. Zayn decided not to waste any more time and directly went upstairs to look for her.The posh clubhouse was very luxuriously renovated. Just the parking in front of the
While Zayn was consoling Faye, his eyes glanced over the people in front of him, and he was able to deduce what had transpired earlier. Thanks to his clairvoyance and supreme intelligence, he was instantly able to tell what kind of people they were which further verified his guess.At that moment, the crowd in the room regained their senses as they angrily glared straight at Zayn.Their gathering was highly confidential and must be kept a secret because it was not something that could be made known to the public. Now that someone had suddenly barged in, it was undoubtedly a huge offense and threat to them, so they instantly became extremely hostile.“Where did you come from, you b*stard? How dare you barge into our territory? Have you got a death wish?”“What’s the security team doing? Don’t they know that this is an absolutely private gathering and no outsiders are allowed in here?!”“This is outrageous…”“Find and track that man down. If he mentions a single word of this, I’ll
After Lucius said that, he fiercely threw the champagne glass in his hand onto the ground, causing a crisp clang as the glass shattered into pieces. At the same time, the dominance that he emanated throbbed even greater, causing Faye to jump in shock immediately before she grabbed Zayn’s clothes.In fact, quite a number of them were stunned by Lucius and did not dare to move an inch, causing the entire atmosphere to progress in Lucius’ favor.It would not be wrong to say that at that moment, Lucius had control over the situation while both Zayn and Faye would have to face his wrath and accept their punishment.In the eyes of an ordinary person, the domineering aura that Lucius was exuding was indeed very strong. However, to Zayn, it was nothing to be bothered about.“I’m sorry, but I really don’t know what this place is. Why don’t you enlighten me?” Zayn said with a faint smile.When Lucius noticed how Zayn was still able to smile despite being directly on death’s doorstep, he was
After Lucius gave his orders, two burly bodyguards who seemed to be adept in martial arts walked over to grab Zayn.While they were focused on doing so, they completely disregarded Zayn and underestimated their opponent, even snickering at his misfortune. However, the moment they walked over, Zayn threw a hefty kick at the both of them, and he immediately sent them flying unscathed.Obviously, Zayn had used a lot of force. This was evident because the two likely weighed about 100 kg each, and they were still sent flying like two rubber balls with a single clean kick. The others suspected that they were hallucinating.At that moment, silence filled the room momentarily before Lucius was able to regain his senses. He bemusedly commented, “I was wondering why you were so brave. I see now that it’s because you’ve trained in martial arts before.”Lucius was now even more confident that he would be able to defeat Zayn. ‘Zayn’s just a mere amateur in martial arts, yet he thinks he’ll be a
