“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
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
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
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
They came to understand that Violet Vision Media Corp would certainly rise to a new peak under the leadership of the new chairman!Zayn returned to his office. He rubbed his temples to relax. He did not manage to sleep well last night because the floor had been too cold. What a pathetic reason to have lost sleep over! Feeling a little drowsy now, he got some shut-eye for a short while, then he called his assistant to bring in a cup for coffee to refresh himself. It did not take long before there was a knock on the door followed by a sweet voice saying, “Sir, your coffee’s here.”“Come in,” Zayn said nonchalantly before he continued to screen through the documents. Two hours ago, Yvonne had arrived at Violet Vision Media Corp way ahead of time. It was the final day of recruitment, so she had to seize the opportunity properly for sure!Ever since she found out that Zayn was the chairman of Violet Vision Media Corp, she had been overwhelmed with emotions all this time without a s
Zayn finally noticed that something was off, so he raised his head. “Haven’t I ordered you to leave…? Oh, Yvonne, it’s you, huh?”“Indeed, it’s me, Zayn. We meet again.” Yvonne batted her eyelashes. She had a surprised expression that matched her beautiful face and her graceful figure. One had no choice but to acknowledge that she was so exquisite that few men could resist her. As a man, Zayn was enticed by Yvonne’s feminine beauty that momentarily captured him in a trance as well. On the other hand, Yvonne managed to notice his fleeting trance and the desire seeping from his gaze successfully. Elated, she was even more confident about seducing Zayn!She began to gloat. So what if Zayn had a beautiful wife like Faye at home? She still managed to seduce him. “Who gave you the permission to come here?” Zayn recovered from his stupor and said with a frown. “I brought you the coffee that you asked for.” Yvonne stuck her tongue out and feigned mischief that matched her beautiful ap
She made a determined effort of clutching Zayn’s hands at once while pleading with tearful eyes, “Zayn, you may hit me if you’re angry. Hit me, you may even beat me to death! As long as I can get your forgiveness, I’m willing to die in your hands.”Zayn was speechless.She was a really good actress. “That’s enough.” Zayn pulled back his hand and said coldly, “Stop putting up your bad performance and leave now.”Yvonne was recalcitrant. There was no reason why Zayn was completely indifferent towards her because she was beautifully dressed and she looked sexy today. Soon, she noticed Zayn swallowing his saliva secretly, so she immediately dispelled the doubt in her mind. It was apparent that he was successfully enamored by her. He was just putting up a front on purpose. Yvonne was relieved. As long as Zayn had the sexual orientation of a normal man, she had confidence that she could take him down. “Zayn, do you really hate me that much that you won’t even give me a chance?” Te
She had never seen Zayn so terrifying. After walking out of the office, she realized that her back was drenched in sweat. She was panting loudly and had only managed to recover from the shock after a long while. Oh, God, Zayn was too overbearing, wasn’t he? He was more formidable than any of the big bosses that she had encountered in the past!This showed that Zayn was certainly a super-wealthy rich kid. Only a person of nobility could exude such a powerful aura and overbearingness. Even though she was driven out of the office, she was not discouraged by this turn of events. On the contrary, she was even more motivated. She pledged to herself in her heart that she would take Zayn down for certain. She was not asking for much; she would be satisfied with being Zayn’s mistress. …Nothing seemed to be going right for Ethan Capel recently. Ever since he had been slapped by Jordan during George’s 70th birthday party and was thoroughly discredited, he was completely out of luck. Aside
