“What are you laughing about? Zayn really is the chairman of Violet Vision!” Alexandra was so angry that she placed her hand by her hips as her cheeks bulged out while she spoke. However, the expression she had was very cute.Mary then threw Alexandra a look of sympathy as she sighed. She said, “Alexandra, have you been through some kind of incident recently? I know that your family’s been putting a lot of pressure on you, but you must take good care of yourself though.”Alexandra anxiously said, “Sigh, just listen to me, Mary. Zayn really is the chairman of Violet Vision. You can look him up online if you don’t believe me. You’ll be able to see his photos for yourself.”This time, it was not just Mary who thought that Alexandra had experienced some kind of trauma but so did everyone else. ‘I do sympathize with her quite a bit. It’s very pitiful for such a beautiful woman to actually be mentally challenged.’Mary seemed extremely embittered as she said, “I’ve caused you so much tro
However, when Brock saw that Zayn was behaving so cowardly, he was even more sure that Zayn was a gigolo. He wanted to ensure that he had complete victory and beat Zayn down to the ground like he was nothing as he took a step forward to stop the latter in his tracks. After that, he raised his head and loudly declared, “Hey, did you think you were going to be able to leave so easily after you’ve offended someone?”Now, it was Zayn’s turn to be slightly annoyed as he frowned and said, “What do you want?”Brock looked at Zayn with a look filled with disdain and deceit as he behaved as though he was the victor while Zayn was one of his playthings.“The chairman of Violet Vision is my best friend, yet you actually have the nerve to pretend to be him and slander his name. So, as his best friend, I must make sure this debt is paid in full,” Brock declared loudly.His topic instantly caused many to gasp in surprise as they looked at him even more passionately and were filled with even more
Brock could not explain why, but when he saw the expression that Zayn had at that moment, he suddenly felt a little scared.However, he immediately shook his head to chase his fears away. ‘F*ck, I’m being too cautious here to think that I was actually afraid of Zayn for a moment there.’“Hmph, I see that you still intend to continue to pretend even at this point, do you? Do you really think I won’t deal with you?!” Brock then made a heavy grunt, and the expression on his face seemed even uglier.Then, he pointed at Zayn and said with a sinister expression on his face, “Your name’s Zayn, isn’t it? I committed your name to memory now, so if you don’t get down on your knees and apologize today, I’m going to come up with a hundred ways to ensure that you won’t be able to continue living in Waltz City! You’re free to try me if you refuse to believe me.”Mary worriedly said to Alexandra when she heard this, “Alexandra, you’d best ask this friend of yours to do as he says. Mr. Ashton is v
“I’m going to kill youuuu—aaarghhh!” Before Brock could end his threat on a menacing note, Zayn’s sudden amplification of force caused him to go off on an epic wail instead. It hurt enough that his body was visibly trembling.He really wished he could just grab a knife and butcher Zayn already—this lowborn, unwashed prole! How dare he retaliate against his betters and make him go down on his knees?! This was an act of sacrilege—a strip of his noble dignity! No way in hell was Brock ever going to let this go unpunished; Zayn Larson was a dead man!“You’re dead, you piece of sh*t! I swear to God—you’re dead meat!” Brock bellowed as loudly as a peal of thunder shaking the entire floor, attracting onlookers.Zayn shook his head. “You don’t even know how insignificant you really are, do you? You don’t deserve to raise your voice against me!” he scoffed. “But I guess you won’t remember your place unless I teach you a lesson.”Zayn added even more force, twisting Brock’s hand against its
Brock sniped a glance at Zayn’s stupid grin and snickered to himself. Looks like he was facing a guy with a few screws loose!The call he had made earlier was, unsurprisingly, made to Mr. Rivera. After a brief—but not wanting to exaggerate details—account over the phone, Mr. Rivera had gotten so sufficiently enraged that he promised he would get to where he was as soon as he could.The thing about Mr. Rivera was that he was one of the upper echelons of Violet Vision Media Corp—a very important man who was worth hundreds of millions in net worth. He was also Brock’s senior and the reason why the latter obtained the opportunity to work in the chairman’s brand-new advertising agency. Mr. Rivera had been the one who introduced Brock’s talent to Sean.And now, his benefactor was coming to do right. With the man’s temperament and mettle, Brock was sure this Larson guy had no way to run! This was especially since he had a good grasp of how powerful Mr. Rivera was; Brock’s skills could not
Alexandra breathed a sigh of relief, and the same blithe smile blossomed out of her lips again. “That’s great!”Brock had been watching them from afar. The fact that Zayn and Alexandra kept chuckling and chattering in that misguided cheeriness, as though Brock’s threat meant nothing, made him foam in exasperation. He could not wait till Mr. Rivera was here.When he was here, oh boy—he could not wait to rearrange Zayn’s face.Finally, after a few minutes of waiting, a large procession of people stepped through the door while the crowd looked on with interest. The one leading them was a square-jawed man with an air of authority.It was Mr. Rivera. Behind him were more than a dozen of people of whom bodyguards and people from Violet Vision each made up about half.Mr. Rivera was, in truth, one of Sean Wilson’s underlings. He occupied a rather high position in the company and owned less than one percent of Violet Vision’s shares. It might not seem like much, but it was enough to secur
Jose Rivera swore to God—he had never imagined the man Brock accused of impersonating the chairman would be the genuine article himself!Looking at that half-smile hanging on Zayn’s lips right now made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. If one had to ask who he feared the most in the entire world, his answer would, undoubtedly, be Zayn Larson himself.Jose had lived well into his middle age; his battles in the world of business had been numerous as much as they were fabled. Years spent in the world added experience and knowledge, hardening the man’s natural mettle and grit, and for the most part, he was the kind who would not bend a knee to anyone, let alone fear them.Zayn, however, was a different thing altogether. Just a glance at him drew out primal fear from the deepest recesses of his mind.When he first met the chairman, Jose had been dismissive of the young man. He made the mistake of thinking Zayn was another one of those trust-fund kids, a brat who thought
In Brock’s mind, Jose was one of the biggest, baddest tycoons in the world of business. Social connection, resources, wealth—Jose had it all in surfeit. He was the kind of guy Brock always strove to ingratiate himself to, and now, his idol had just taken a knee for Zayn Larson.Brock felt as though his mind had plunged into a whirlpool. For the life of him, he could not imagine just how powerful Zayn had to be to cause someone like Jose to squirm. The only thing he could confirm, though, was that he had made a grave, lethal mistake.Honestly, Zayn never thought Jose would go straight to begging. The man was, at the very least, a powerful figure on his own. Even his so-called offense was hardly Jose’s personal fault, so there really was no reason for the man to drop down to his knees like that.Yes, Zayn had underestimated the strength of his authority. There was no one in his company who did not fear him. Fortunately, he was not an unreasonable person, and he knew Jose was innocent.
