Semua Bab When Life Takes A Turn: Bab 1311 - Bab 1320

Roxanne’s remark caused a wave of envy to flood the room, and it was all directed at Zayn. What did Zayn do to deserve such good luck, huh? How did he manage to gain the favoritism of Roxanne?Shepherd could not bear to listen anymore so he hastily walked over and said, “Roxanne, stop mocking Zayn. Look at him, does he look like a business owner? Moreover, he came to the reunion tonight on an electric scooter, I bet he makes a few hundred bucks a month only, hah-hah.”He spoke so loudly with an expression that made him look like he was joking. In reality, he was humiliating Zayn and it made everyone at the scene sneer at Zayn upon hearing that. The corners of Roxanne’s lips curled up ever so slightly as well into a smile.The more Zayn was there, the more disappointed he was at them. He had not expected that the old friends from his past would turn into these snobbish people. He could not be bothered to pay attention to them anymore so he said to Kaiser right away, “Kaiser, I stil

“That’s right, apologize now!”Everyone else chimed in, pressuring Kaiser to apologize. Speaking through clenched teeth, Kaiser muttered, “I haven’t said anything wrong, so why should I apologize, you…”Roxanne silenced the crowd by demanding icily, “Apologize, Kaiser.”Upon hearing that, Kaiser’s body began to convulse at once. He gritted his teeth tightly and lowered his head. He felt extremely unwilling and very aggrieved as well. He would lose all his dignity if he were to apologize in the presence of so many of her old friends!However, Roxanne had already given the order. If he still refused to apologize, Roxanne would terminate his employment for real!The worst part was that Roxanne still kept half a year’s worth of his monthly wages. If he were to be fired by Roxanne now, he would not be getting that back anymore. It was worth a few thousand bucks regardless. “I…” Kaiser raised his head and looked at Roxanne with a pleading gaze while he spoke as if he was begging for

It was Zayn. He told Kaiser in all apparent seriousness. Kaiser felt a shiver run down his spine upon hearing Zayn’s statement. He said in frustration, “My friend, you’ve been a great help, you have! Frankly, my family is facing some difficulties and this job and its wages is my only way out.”Roxanne had been observing on the side with cold eyes. She would like to know what sort of b*llsh*t Zayn could come up with!Zayn said, “I know and that is why I’ve already told you earlier that I’m very rich. I’m richer than you can imagine and one word from me is enough to make you superior to everyone else. I wasn’t joking.”Kaiser did not believe Zayn but on the contrary, he assumed a concerned expression and stretched out his hand to feel Zayn’s forehead. He lowered his voice and said, “Are you okay?”Zayn said in frustration, “I’m not lying to you, and I mean it when I say that. I’ll take you to my company tomorrow if you don’t believe me, you’ll be able to see it for yourself.”Kais

The crowd gawked at Mr. Spicer with even more deference and respect, surprised. Feeling quite self-satisfied, he waved dismissively and said, “I was just doing my job. At my core, I’m no different from the rest of you.”Roxanne had been acquainted with Jack Spicer in passing, but he already proved to be the most socially-eminent of her associates. He was powerful, young, and single—all the good qualities every young lady desired from a man. She had been thinking about asking someone like him out for a long time now.Mr. Spicer’s sudden entrance momentarily detoured Zayn’s departure from the reunion, but it only took a minute or so for him to be back on his way. Roxanne noticed him leaving, and immediately called him out. “There, Mr. Spicer! That’s the prick who insulted me and took advantage of my womanhood! I can’t do anything to get back at him, and now he thinks he can just leave unpunished!” she bemoaned. “Please, Mr. Spicer! You can fix this, right? Please help me; it’s so unfai

Zayn already sensed all of their presence before they even showed their faces, so he was not at all surprised. The thing that did shock him, however, was the legend by the name of Ares.He had heard of Ares before—the military’s champion, Rheasia’s premier protector, and rightly the crème de la crème with peerless power and standing. If Zayn would hazard a guess, Ares must have already reached the legendary state of Invincibilis.Admittedly, Ares would have sent someone to him either way. It was either to capture him or to make his stance known.Zayn was not the kind to be oblivious to social finesse. Ares was a legend, a myth-like figure—if someone of his caliber showed Zayn this much respect, then it was only appropriate that he returned the same amount to Ares’s people.He flashed them a smile. “I would never reject an invitation from a living legend like Ares! I do have one problem, though. Mr. Spicer here had demanded that I not leave this premise. He even said he’s going to p
