Semua Bab When Life Takes A Turn: Bab 131 - Bab 140

”What kind of nonsense are you going on about, huh? You good-for-nothing brat!” scolded the owner of the antique store as he peered down at Zayn rudely. He was seething with rage.Mr. Smith had her brows furrowed as well as she glanced over at Zayn in equal puzzlement and indignation.As she came from a wealthy family, she was raised to possess a refined palate and impeccable taste. She occasionally dabbled in the world of paintings and murals as well. From what she had to go off of, the Picasso painting looked like the real thing, and she was sure that it had not been tampered with at all. On the other hand, the man in front of her was claiming that it was a fake. Was he really challenging her expertise? In a certain sense, he was also trying to humiliate her.Zayn kept a level head despite the many murderous gazes staring back at him. He casually circled the room, a relaxed smile playing on his lips. “I’m the one talking nonsense? You’re the ones who are asking me to pay 600 thous

Many of his accomplices in the crowd were severely taken aback as well.Resentment grew inside the tomboy as she tried to swallow the fact that someone had attempted to swindle her. They truly were a bunch of audacious con artists!600 thousand dollars would not leave a dent in her pockets at all, but it would be mortifyingly embarrassing if news of the incident were to circulate. She was just about to burst from humiliation just thinking about it. “You very well had the audacity to try and swindle me with your counterfeit! You must be tired of living—let me relocate you to a living h*ll!”She ordered her two bodyguards to contact the police so that the owner of the antique store could be detained and tried. Realizing this, the owner of the antique store fled hurriedly in the other direction. Though, he could not outrun the tomboy’s bodyguards, as he was quickly captured before he managed to gain distance.Meanwhile, the middle-aged man who had been his co-accomplice was starting t

After an hour had passed, Zayn was finally back at 4S. He heaved a sigh of relief—it was almost impossible to get away from that relentless tomboy.Zayn felt very uneasy during their meal. Alexandra was obviously a woman, but she desperately tried to mimic the mannerisms of a man. It would have been dismissable if she was decent at it, yet she was far from being convincing.What made matters worse was that she was completely oblivious to her poor performance. She interacted with him with blind confidence as she butchered her identity. The way she went about conversing with Zayn—frequently throwing in curse words for no apparent reason and touching Zayn all too comfortably—rendered him speechless.As a result, when Alexandra offered to keep him company after the meal, he hastily declined and retreated to 4S as he waited for his car to be repaired.Alexandra was swelling with pride as she watched Zayn’s departing silhouette fade into the distance. “Heh-heh, what an idiot. He had no i

As a man, Howard clearly understood Mr. Brown’s intentions. Mr. Brown obviously wanted to sleep with Faye!If it had been in the past, Howard would have blindly agreed to it without the slightest hesitation at all. However, it was different now. It was not because he was unwilling, but it was because he was not in the position to make such a decision.Now that the Carters held Faye to such a high regard, even George would be tentative to force her into doing something so salacious.Now that Faye’s status in the Carter family was different, even George would not necessarily be able to force her to come to do this if she refused to. And even then, he still feared Zayn to a certain extent. As of late, Lady Luck seemed to be on his side. Not only did he manage to save Jordan’s life, he had even gotten acquainted with George.George Hayes was a malicious man with too much power for his own good. The ordinary people of Waltz City knew better than to offend someone so disreputable.Of

During the previous financial crisis, Faye had already felt disheartened enough. There was absolutely no way that she would agree to do something like that!She still remembered how she sacrificed herself for the greater good in order to loan the three million dollars from the chairman. It felt even worse knowing none of the Carter family members believed her—they went as far as calling her an embarrassment to the Carters. They still harbored those prejudices against her, and she knew.Plus, who did these people take her for?She was a proper lady!Howard had already expected Faye to say that. He sneered at her, “What kind of attitude is that, Faye? I was only going to ask you to come with me when I sign the contract, and now you’re overreacting and being the drama queen like you always are. Are you even a Carter?”Faye stared down at him coldly. “Howard, don’t try that stuff with me again! I sacrificed myself when we were going through tough times back then, and guess what happen
