There were numerous young people in attendance with smirks on their faces. Judging by their mannerisms, it was apparent that they were acquainted with Zayn, yet they seemed to resent him greatly. They were the heirs of upper-class families in Waltz City and had once been in the same social circle as Zayn. Though they were all from Waltz City, they had no skills to speak of and had remained in their “rich kid” circle. They were nowhere near Zayn’s level, which was why they did not know that the man who they despised had become a peerless magnate. Zayn was a man that even their families had to look up to.Upon hearing that, Rosie immediately said in a panic, “That’s nonsense. The relationship between Zayn and me is innocent. I don’t have any feelings for him and even if he were to try it with me now, I would only see him as a friend at most!”Someone quickly said in a mocking tone, “Rosie, I remembered that Zayn and you used to be childhood best friends. You grew up with each other

She had assumed Zayn would not do too poorly even after leaving the Larsons, but judging by how he looked at that moment, it seemed she had overestimated him. On the other hand, Zayn actually had the nerve to want to restart their old relationship. Apparently, he had no self-awareness, and she subconsciously began to look down on him.Zayn could sense the change in her attitude and manner. Moreover, he noticed that she had glanced at the man standing next to her when she spoke. It was apparent that she cared about the man’s opinion, and looking at her posture, Zayn immediately realized he was most probably her boyfriend. He was not planning on picking up where he left off with Rosie anyway, so upon seeing her behavior, he cracked a meaningful smile. “I do mind. I thought we agreed that it’s just going to be the two of us for the dinner date? It’s not very convenient for you to have so many people join us, is it?”Upon hearing that, Rosie’s expression turned even colder. Moreover, t

He cracked a meaningful smile instantly and said, “You’re already here anyway, so why are you leaving in such a hurry? You’re a friend of Rosie’s. As her fiance, I should entertain you properly!”He emphasized the word “entertain” on purpose while the smile on his face grew wider. The people at the scene who knew Duncan could tell he was furious and was planning on humiliating Zayn ferociously. These people were delighted to witness a situation like this because they resented Zayn from the start. It would be lovely for them to see him make a fool of himself!On the other hand, Zayn ignored Duncan and kept his eyes on Rosie the whole time. Frankly, he did not care about who Duncan was nor take him seriously. He was there purely out of respect for Rosie. However, he discovered he could no longer see the emotions that used to be in Rosie’s eyes. The woman was not the friend he knew before.He shook his head and heaved a sigh inwardly, feeling rather emotional for a moment. He then

Rosie shook her head and assumed Zayn had lost his mind. He would rather suffer terribly in an attempt to boost his reputation. If he had the audacity to say something like that, there must have been something wrong with him.Duncan was laughing as well. Naturally, he did not think that Zayn was telling the truth. The Larson Group was such a formidable enterprise that even his family had tried to attach themselves to it. The chairman of the Larson Group was a godlike figure who was rumored to be an extremely powerful fighter with impeccable skills. The man was so unfathomably strong that he was beyond the understanding of ordinary people!On the other hand, Zayn was just an outcast from the Larson family living in poverty. He found the whole thing hilarious. He considered it to be a spark of joy in his life. He waved his hand dismissively to beckon the others to stop ridiculing Zayn. He then said, “That’s impressive. It seems we’ve misjudged you. I didn’t expect that you were t

When he and Rosie were still best friends as kids, Zayn was the next heir to the Larson family fortune. Duncan was gloating because he had taken the woman that Zayn wanted, and it gave him great pleasure.Naturally, Zayn could read Duncan’s mind at a glance. Frankly, he did not care what the man thought, but he was very disappointed by Rosie. She had been such a good friend before, but she had become so materialistic and cynical.He shook his head and said, “Rosie, do you really think that I’m having such a hard time getting by after I left the Larsons? You and I grew up together as friends, so you're supposed to understand me very well. Do you truly think I’m so incompetent?Zayn’s gaze visibly moved Rosie, but she hurriedly shook her head. She assumed he was just struggling to save face at that point. If Zayn was genuinely doing well, he would not possibly be attending such an important dinner in that shabby outfit he was wearing!Moreover, he had not even driven there, which sho
