It was true that Adrian was a Larson, but he was the bastard son of a mistress. He did not have much authority in the family, and his share of the annual profits was also far less than the sons born to legitimate wives. On the other hand, Zayn was a son born of a legal wife, so he was a true heir to the Larsons!Before Zayn was kicked out of the Larson family, Adrian had been of a lower status and he would treat Zayn respectfully, never doing anything above his station. More specifically, Adrian would never take a seat when Zayn was standing, and when Zayn was seated, Adrian would never lie down. Anything else would have been seen as disrespectful!Technically, Zayn had been kicked out of the Larson family and lost his status, so Adrian did not need to defer to him anymore. However, Adrian had to respect Zayn even more now! It was because Zayn’s innocence had been proven, so he would return to the Larsons sooner or later. Most importantly, his grandfather transferred 70 percent of hi

Jordan Larson was Zayn’s uncle and also the patriarch of the Larsons. The decision to kick Zayn out of the family four years ago was Jordan’s idea. He could never forget how Jordan looked at him on that night, like he was less than a dog!Four years had passed since and by the mercy of God, his grandfather regained consciousness prior to his death. He cleared Zayn’s name and transferred his fortune to him. It gave him a chance to seek revenge on the Larsons!Zayn did not wish to do this initially, but that day’s incident had been a crushing blow to him. Faye’s misunderstanding of him had only deepened, especially after Ethan took advantage of their vulnerability and invaded their family. Zayn was worried that if he were to allow this situation to develop, Faye would truly be deceived by Ethan. It was something that he found hard to accept. The Larson family was the most powerful in Waltz City. After Jordan made an appearance personally and presented his gift during George’s 70th

“Yes, of course. Could it be that I’m lying to you?” George laughed aloud heartily and said, “Tell me, what is your request?”Ethan sniggered twice. Looking toward Faye, he got down on one knee and shouted aloud, “Mr. Carter, I have only one request. I hope that Mr. Carter is willing to betroth Faye to me!”His voice echoed through the entire room, reverberating in the air. Everyone could feel the longing in his heart. Faye’s charming face blushed scarlet at once. Ethan’s actions threw her into a flurry of panic, and she was at a loss as to what to do. Frankly, Ethan had been pursuing her for many years. She never had feelings for Ethan, and the most she could say was that she found him tolerable. Nevertheless, after witnessing Ethan doing everything he could to save Thomas from Adrian two days ago, she was touched. Any woman would fall for a powerful, masculine man. Ethan’s strength gave her a sense of security that she had never experienced before. Conversely, Zayn was far wors

“Someone is missing? No,” said Ethan. Adrian furrowed his brows even more. “Are you sure?”They had come for Zayn. If Zayn was not around, what was the point?Jordan stood on the spot, expressionless. The numerous Carter family members felt fear creeping into their hearts and Ethan could tell that something was off. He hastily asked George, “Grandpa, is someone absent from your 70th birthday party tonight?”George glanced around the entire room and noticed that everyone from the Carter family was there. There were the older ones and the younger ones, so no one was missing from the party. Moreover, it was his 70th birthday celebration, so he was the focus of the night. Who else from the Larson family needed to be there?George felt puzzled, but he still shook his head and said, “Everybody’s here.”‘Everybody’s here?’Adrian and Jordan exchanged glances. Could it be that this was Zayn’s test for them and he was observing from afar?It was highly possible…Soon, they came up wit

His shouting drew everyone’s attention, and they all turned to him at once. The four youths had also stopped stomping on the fruit. “Ma’am, are you hurt?” Zayn asked the elderly woman gently as he helped her to her feet. “I’m not hurt, but my fruit, oh my fruit…” Tears rolled down the old woman’s cheeks when she saw the scattered mess of fruit on the floor. Zayn was furious. He glared at the four young people coldly. “You’re all just kids, yet you’re bullying an old lady. What happened to your manners? Did nobody teach you?”“Who the heck are you to be such a busybody?”“Where did this piece of trash come from? I bet you’re trying to play the hero, right? I’ll give you three seconds to leave before I thrash you too!”“Look at him dressed in his flea market attire. You can tell that he’s a pauper.”“Get lost now if you don’t want to get beaten up.”They called Zayn out by mocking him continuously. One of the men was about to walk over and push him down. A man in white recog
