Chapter 41 Trapped In The Room

“Tell it to me straight, who exactly have you brought here?” Zayn furrowed his brows. However, Sean interpreted his graveness as feigned obliviousness. How could a man of such incredible intelligence not know that Faye was standing right outside that door? Moreover, it was the chairman himself who strongly implied Sean to bring her here! He was certain that the chairman was just simply too bashful, and wanted to maintain his cold, arrogant exterior in front of one of his subordinates. There was no doubt about it! The chairman was still a young man after all. Despite his extraordinary capabilities, he would not be as bold as any of the industry veterans like himself.Sean sniggered, a knowing expression on his face. He said, “Sir, I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be on my way. Oh yes, the technicians have reported some malfunctions in the surveillance cameras on this floor. The latest they can be fixed would be tomorrow, so the cameras won’t be able to operate until th

Chapter 42 The Familiar Silhouette

Upon uttering those words, Faye’s breathing quickened. Her legs felt as if they weighed a thousand tonnes. It felt almost impossible to move.The room had gone dead silent. The great chairman of Violet Vision was nowhere to be seen.She waited for something to happen, but there was still no response. Faye could not help but feel anxious as she wondered if Violet Vision’s chairman was in there at all. Was there a possibility that the chairman was unhappy with her?“Sir? Can you hear me? May I come in?” asked Faye tentatively.Zayn panicked when he heard her voice. It was evident that Faye was going to enter at any moment now, so he hastily came up with an excuse. He pretended to groan, his voice hoarse and scruffy, “You may not come in.”“Huh?” Faye cried out softly. On the verge of crumpling from her overwhelming emotions, she gritted her teeth and said, “Sir, I don’t understand.”Zayn continued to speak raspily, “Go home.”Faye clenched her fists and took two steps towards the

Chapter 43 The Chairman Is A Heart-throb

“Sir... sir...” Faye called out softly. She noticed her voice had a slight tremble to it.She watched as the chairman slowly turned to face her, before letting out a gasp.The chairman’s face was obstructed by a clown mask, so she could not make out his features. Faye was confused. What in the world was going on?Yes, Zayn had legitimately put on a clown mask so that Faye would not be able to recognize him. She could only see his eyes. He would not have been bold enough to let her in without the mask.Faye was frozen still from shock, so Zayn had an easier time picking apart her outfit. She wore a tight, figure-hugging dress that accentuated her shapely curves. The dress was so short that her long and fair legs were completely on display. She looked flawless.She had even gone the extra mile of putting on makeup to impress Mr. Wilson. It made her even more charming and sexy. Zayn had been put into a trance by Faye’s beauty, and he found it hard to take his eyes off of her.It s

Chapter 44 Give Me A Reason!

Zayn hitched a breath as Faye closed in on him.Faye’s cheeks were burning from embarrassment.“Sir.” You could hear the tremble in her voice when she addressed him.At first, she was initially prepared to endure the worst, but that urge to rebel had suddenly vanished.She never had high expectations from the start, so perhaps that was why they were easily surpassed.He reached out to wrap his hands around Faye’s waist. He gently pulled her towards him so that there was barely any space between the two.He thought about sleeping with Faye even in his dreams—he wanted her so badly. Though, this was definitely not the way he wanted to go about it. As soon as he pinned her against that bed, she would basically be cheating on him, and that was not what he intended.As a result, he let go of Faye and spat coldly, “You should leave. I’m not interested in another man’s wife.”Faye was confused. What was going on? Did the chairman not just try and take her as his own? She had been de

Chapter 45 If Only He Was Her Husband

“I’m not going to. You're not allowed to back out of your end of the deal!” Faye snarled ferociously.Zayn said, “Are you crazy? Who said I was backing out of my end of the deal? I already have a cheque for three million dollars written up for you.”Faye was shaken up. She followed Zayn’s gaze, noticing the cheque that had been lying on the table the entire time.Zayn seized the opportunity to push her aside so he could get up and off the bed. He readjusted his clown mask, his back facing away from Faye. The mask had been knocked off slightly askew after the struggle. Fortunately, his cover had not been blown.“This is a cheque for three million dollars. You can cash it out at any bank. As for the IOU, you don’t need to give it to me. Even if the Carters had the slightest ounce of courage in them, you wouldn’t have the audacity to refuse paying off your debt. I already know a hundred ways I can eliminate your family off the top of my head!” Zayn threatened coldly. His presence was

Chapter 46 Zayn Is Employed

The image had just cropped up in her thoughts before quickly evaporating away into nothingness!She suspected she had gone insane—how else could she have thought of something so absurd? The chairman of Violet Vision was on top of the world. On the other hand, she was just a common woman from a small family. How in the world could she be a worthy wife to such a sophisticated man?! She was only deserving of a freeloading deadbeat like Zayn.At the very thought of Zayn, Faye felt a fresh swell of rage rising inside of her. Zayn had been missing for the entire day! He obviously knew that today was the day she would be leaving, yet he had not made any effort to show up at all. She did not even receive a text message showing his support, or do the bare minimum of signing the divorce papers.Coincidentally, as soon as she had exited Violet Vision Tower, she spotted the last man she wanted to see. Of course, it had to be Zayn. Her wrath nearly consumed her as she tried to process the sight

Chapter 47 Get On Your Knees

“Fifi! Weren't you supposed to be with Mr. Wilson? Why are you home so soon?” Ruby asked in astonishment. Hector sprang from his seat. “That’s right, Faye. What has gotten into you? I thought you were supposed to be with Mr. Wilson for three days. Did you take the liberty of coming home early yourself?”Upon realizing Faye’s return, every single one of them was in a state of frenzied distress. They automatically jumped to the conclusion that she had simply failed to complete her mission, and that she had come home on her own volition. They were convinced that she had ruined their family’s only chance of redemption.Howard berated her senselessly, “Faye, what’s wrong with you? We’ve reminded you time and time again over how important this is to our family. We told you to bring back the three million dollars, even if it meant sacrificing everything! So why is it that you’ve come running back home in less than an hour? We raised you and put a roof over your head. We’ve put clothes on

Chapter 48 Three Million Dollar Cheque

Everyone was pressuring Zayn to yield. You could see the pure, unadulterated hatred present on their faces as they took their anger out on ZaynZayn clenched his fists. He felt like he was about to burst from all his pent up rage. As he looked back at George and the other Carters, he was reminded of the Larsons all those years ago. The Larsons would force him on his knees to apologize. This was no different from how it was back then.“Why should I get on my knees? I’ve said nothing but the truth. I’m not going to give in!” Zayn’s eyes were ablaze, and his face had flushed a deep red. A vortex of anger swirled inside of him.George, as the patriarch of the family, felt as though his dignity had been compromised. His deadbeat grandson-in-law had the nerve to defy his commands, and that made his blood boil more than anything else. “When I ask you to get down on your knees, you get down on your knees! Why would you question my authority? Howard, Thomas, pin him down. I don’t just want h

Chapter 49 No IOU

George was thrilled as well. He carefully spread the check out in his hands, and as expected, saw the number ‘3,000,000’ staring back at him.The others held their breaths, ogling greedily at the piece of paper in his possession. Three million dollars was a large sum of money—it could easily sustain their lavish lifestyles!“Call them so we can confirm this cheque’s authenticity. Hurry!” George’s hands were trembling in excitement as he ordered Howard to call up the bank. Howard’s face flushed scarlet. He was practically buzzing with excitement. He whipped out his phone and hastily dialed a number. “Hello, I’m calling to ask if my cheque is genuine. Could you please check? The serial number is…”Howard put the call on loudspeaker. Everyone quieted down, their ears perked up as they listened intently. It did not take long before the pleasant voice of a customer service worker chirped back, “Hello. Your cheque is valid. You may cash it out at any local bank.”Hiss…They drew in a

Chapter 50 I Believe You

George and the others left jubilantly with the three million dollar cheque. Once they had left, Zayn approached Faye with the intention of expressing his gratitude. “Thank you for doing that earlier, honey.”Faye looked less than thrilled. She felt revulsed knowing that Zayn had his gaze fixated on her. With knitted eyebrows, she muttered apathetically, “Hmmm.”She was about to walk out of the room when Zayn called out from behind her, “Honey.”“Anything else?” Faye turned around, impatience written all over her face. Zayn stared at her and said, “They don’t believe you, but I believe that you’re innocent.”His touching words moved her so much that she had to shake off her disbelief. She asked, “Why do you believe me? I went into his office, and both of us were together in the room without anyone else.”Zayn was startled by her question. He could not think of an immediate answer for her. From any logical person’s perspective, it did not help Faye’s case when she had dressed so
