Semua Bab When Life Takes A Turn: Bab 311 - Bab 320

She had been sulking from her heavy dispiritedness mere moments ago. As soon as she received Zayn’s call, she had become a completely different person. She was cheering in delight. Her overly-excited reaction startled Victor and Rachel. Victor pulled a long face as she scolded her, “Alexandra! What are you doing? It’s improper for a girl to shout and scuffle!”As a woman herself, Rachel saw something else. She could tell that her daughter was elated over Zayn’s call. She immediately realized that her daughter had truly fallen in love with Zayn. As a result, she tugged at Victor and threw him a meaningful glance so Victor would not scold Alexandra anymore. Victor realized it too from Rachel’s gaze. He looked like he was overwhelmed with emotion. As a father, Alexandra was his only daughter so he cherished her the most. His daughter’s marriage was more important to him than his career. Otherwise, he would have never searched for a good son-in-law like William for Alexandra. Howeve

Alexandra looked the prettiest she had ever been today. She was dressed to the nines and she had dolled herself up as best as she could. She had been extremely opposed and repulsed by the engagement party initially, even deciding to make herself as ugly as possible—it would have been amazing if she was capable of just ruining the entire ceremony.Things were different now. Zayn was going to be there. It made her anticipate the event. She did not know why she felt that way. All she knew was that she was going to be all dressed up and beautiful when she was with Zayn. Oh, how Alexandra was looking forward to Zayn’s expression when he saw how pretty she was—he would be absolutely stupefied! Heh-heh.It was her engagement party after all. The Browns would never agree to the engagement for sure the moment they find out that Zayn was there!“Miss, you’re so pretty today. You’ll surely steal the limelight. Everyone will be completely charmed,” a maid said enviously as she helped Alexandra

Zayn was surprised when he realized that it was Gordon, asking, “It’s you, Gordon?”Exactly. The person everyone addressed as Mr. Hayes was Gordon Hayes, who was decently famous in Waltz City too. He was not at Sean’s level at any capacity, but he was someone notable. He had also been gradually cleaning up his act and had begun the process to make his businesses as well as assets legal, so you could call him a business person to a certain extent.Gordon was thrilled that Zayn could still recognize him. His elation was barely concealable as he nodded fervently. “Yes, yes, sir. I thought you wouldn’t remember me!”When Gordon said that, his tone was unexpectedly tinged with a complaining whine, like a begrudging housewife.He could not afford to be blamed. Since Zayn told him that he would include him in a business worth over a hundred million dollars, Gordon had been keeping that in mind and had been staying in a good mood for three whole days! He thought that he had finally struck

Skye Long was scared witless. It took him a great deal of effort to get to where he was today. Earning 300 thousand dollars annually was great—he was welcomed warmly when he returned to his hometown in a Range Rover. People buttered him up, he felt like an elite. To ask him to give up a life so amazing and practically ruin it beyond repair, he would never be able to live with it!He did not doubt Gordon’s ability to do so. They lived in a law-abiding society, but if Gordon wanted him gone, Skye would have been removed without a trace at his command. Nothing would happen to Gordon because Gordon did not even have to break the law to do something like that. What was more, if Gordon had to address the young man in front of him as “Sir” dutifully, who knew what he was capable of doing to him.Hence, he kneeled down wholeheartedly without any hesitation. At his age, dignity and pride were nothing. What mattered the most was saving his *ss!Skye’s straightforward kneel made Zayn quite spe

He eyed Gordon just then. There was no way that a smart man like Gordon could not understand him, so he stepped out from behind Zayn to come face to face with the young man, looking icy and hostile.Gordon was on the older side but he had a natural air of belligerence that most of the wealthy could not resist. After all, he started with nothing and earned his place in a gang through actual blood, sweat and tears.The young man beside Nathan caved in at Gordon’s glare. He looked threatened and his eyes were going all over the place, but he managed to snap, “Hayes, what do you want?”Nathan looked solemn as well when he leveled his gaze with Gordon’s. He knew that the latter was familiar with Zayn, but he did not understand why someone like him would want to be acquainted with Zayn. It was out of the norm… unless Zayn was his illegitimate son or some obscure relative…Gordon cracked a grin that looked rather out of place, but there was no hint of an actual smile. Instead, it felt inc
