All Chapters of When Life Takes A Turn: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Four years ago, before the Larsons manufactured a calumny that ended up exiling him, Zayn used to be a well-known figure among the upper crusts of society. Only the most capable talents and minds could ever be privileged to be of Zayn’s acquaintance; one did not simply know him just because he was a pretty boy with some money to spare.“From what I heard, this William Brown fella wants you—and you specifically—to make coffee for him before signing that contract. Do you know him, Fifi?” Waine asked.Zayn’s ears perked up, his eyes darting towards Faye. “I thought Howard was the man behind this contract. Why would William want to ‘have a drink’ with Faye instead?” he asked, frowning.Ruby caught on to the suspicious undertone hidden behind the request. “Gotta admit, he’s right. Fifi, why should you need to make coffee for William? I hope this isn’t one of Howard’s many schemes again!”Faye shook her head. “Mom, you’re overthinking again. I’m one of the company's most valuable assets

“Is he crazy? We’ve always just been friends back then. What reason does he have to even see me?” Faye said with a scowl.The smirk on Howard’s face said it all. “Oh ho, is that so? Cause I distinctly remembered you almost married him back then, did you not? You know, now that I think about it, you should have married him instead of that useless, good-for-nothing Zayn. You probably don’t know this, but Nathan is a really successful businessman now. If only you had married him back then—you would be living in luxury and splendor, not knowing a single day’s labor like what you’re doing as we speak! Am I right?”The whimsical inflexion in his tone betrayed the depth of schadenfreude he had towards her. It irked Faye so much that she erupted, “Howard Carter, if you spew a single word out of that disgusting mouth of yours one more time, then so help me, I’ll walk away and never turn back, if you beg!”Sensing genuine anger, Howard quickly forced out a smile as he tried to appease her. “O

Faye took a deep breath and walked back inside.William and Howard exchanged glances before yet another smile, loaded with implications, unfurled from their lips.“Really, Miss Carter. There’s no need to be afraid. I’m not a good guy,” William said through his smile.Faye had gone pale.“Ahahah! Oh, that was a joke. A gaffe. I’m not a bad guy. In fact, I’m the greatest guy you’ll ever meet! Just ask Howard if you don’t believe me,” he teased, winking playfully.Howard raised his hand immediately. “I can testify! Mr. Brown is a nice guy! Though he’s quite the coffee aficionado. You’re a whiz at coffee making, aren’t you? So don’t just stand there—go and brew Mr. Brown a nice pot!”“Oh, yes. Howard’s got a good point. I love me a pot of quality coffee, especially one mixed by a gorgeous lady like yourself, Miss Carter. My entire body will definitely enjoy it, guaranteed. Ha-ha-ha!”Faye nodded, though her face was blank and devoid of emotion. She turned to the counter and started

Panic flashed across Faye’s features. She forced herself to keep her composure and told William straight in the eye, “Mr. Brown, this is a lawful society. There are cameras everywhere. You’d better not act impulsively and challenge the law.”“Hahaha…” William guffawed as though he had just heard the biggest joke. He looked scornful and amused as he asked Howard, “Are all you Carters so naïve?”“You have all sorts of people in this world, but it’s rare to see someone as naïve as her,” Howard answered.He then told Faye, “My advice is to stop playing dumb, Faye. Be good and sign the contract with Mr. Brown. You’re already here, so you won’t be able to escape. Save yourself the pain.”Faye panicked. “Howard Carter, are you still human? I’m your younger sister, but this is how you’re pushing me into the pits of hell?”“Ha, what are you talking about? I’m doing this for your sake. Mr. Brown is a successful businessman. You’d be better off with him than that trash, Zayn, at home.” Howar

Zayn was startled. He had been enthusiastic and passionate, but upon sensing Faye’s disappointment, he felt a lump in his throat as his mood was dampened. “Didn’t I text you just now? You… didn’t see it?”Faye sighed. “I saw it.”She mocked herself mentally at the same time, ‘Faye, oh, Faye, what were you thinking? The chairman is a busy man. He makes several thousand dollars in a minute. How could he be concerned with someone insignificant like you?! Besides, he hasn’t looked for you since what happened that day. He’s probably forgotten you, yet here you are longing for him…’The more Faye thought about it, the worse she felt. It was as though a certain organ was being pulled out from within her!“Fifi, did they do you any harm?” Zayn asked in concern.She forced a smile and shook her head. “No.”“That’s good.” Zayn exhaled in relief.William wore a dark look after knowing that he was tricked. The person who had come was not the chairman of Violet Vision but a nobody! Once he r
