Chapter 401 Hayley King

“The person who harmed Grandpa wasn’t a part of our family at all, but it was, in fact, Hayley King! It was your biological mother, Hayley, who did it!” Zidane uttered the words in a ghastly tone, assuming an expression of intense derision, hostility, anger. However, there was no denying the dread that continued to linger on the man’s face…A thud was heard. Zayn had punched Zidane in the face. He berated him in a fit of unparallel rage, “You’re b*llsh*tt*ng! How could my Mom ever possibly be the murderer! Zidane, do you take me for an apologetic fool? My mercy won’t stop me from tearing the Larsons into shreds!”Zayn was becoming slightly agitated. It was the first time he ever expressed such volatile emotions since he set foot here.He mulled over the possibility of the murderer being anyone from the Larson family, or even an outer threat that had slipped under their noses—never in a million years would he ever suspect his grandfather’s murderer to be his mother, Hayley! It was ut

Chapter 402 Back From The Dead

Zayn’s mother passed away when Zayn was still very young. Zayn knew that for a fact because his mother fell very ill before she passed away. He could still remember how heartbroken he felt at the time until now. In spite of that, Jordan had not only just told him that his mother was not dead, but that she was also his grandfather’s murderer?Could there be anything more absurd!Even after experiencing all sorts of turmoil, hardship, and abjection in a world that already left his heart rough and uneven, he still managed to be utterly perplexed and bewildered.That was because Zidane and Jordan’s statements came out of left field—they went entirely beyond the capacity of his reception.He witnessed his mother’s passing back all those years ago, and he even held his mother’s hand as she exhaled her final breath. Therefore, why was Jordan telling him that the person who had harmed his grandfather was his mother? How was that possible?! In addition, his mother always had a strong sens

Chapter 403 Alone In The Cold

He halted when he reached the door and said, “From now on, I want nothing to do with the Larsons, and all of you are forbidden from contacting me.” And with that, he walked out of the door and vanished.Everyone left in the hall exhaled a breath of relief about ten seconds after he left. Their tense bodies suddenly relaxed—they were all practically gasping for air. It was inevitable. Zayn’s presence carried a force so strong to them that it felt like a huge mountain pinned against their bodies. It was suffocating!A short while later, a senior member of the Larson family said, “So, does that mean Zayn’s let us off for real?”He used the word ‘let off’, which was a sign of him being subconsciously fearful of Zayn.“I suppose?”“Sigh. I really didn’t expect him to learn the truth—I really didn’t expect it at all.”“That’s right. The events that have taken place tonight have surpassed all of our expectations. Zayn is truly ruthless, and we’ve somehow managed to underestimate him

Chapter 404 Physically Present, Mentally Somewhere Else

Yes, she was waiting for Zayn. In truth, she was having a hard time calming herself down when she laid her eyes on Zayn for the first time after so long, especially when he had discredited Seamus afterwards and gained the eligibility to book the Thule Room in The Oasis. It had made her even more curious about Zayn.She remembered what Thomas had told her a few days ago in the meantime. He told her that Zayn was surrounded by a group of sycophantic big shots, which meant that Zayn had a powerful backing and good credentials. In spite of that, she found it all unbelievably absurf—Zayn was obviously a pauper who came from the countryside. The Carters decided to let Zayn marry into the family back then for the exact reason, so how did Zayn metamorphose into a big shot out of the blue?No matter how much she thought about it, she was still in denial. It was all too surreal!As a result, she had been very inquisitive. She was puzzled, which was why she was so adamant on getting her ha

Chapter 405 Cold Night, Two People, One Room

Faye and Zayn had been married for so long, yet she had never seen Zayn assume that awful expression before. No, she had never even seen anyone with such an expression before! If she could describe his expression in one word, it would be ‘devastated.’When she saw Zayn’s expression, she felt as if her heart had been stabbed with a needle ferociously. It hurt so much that she wanted to cry. Before she even realized, tears were flowing down her face. Her response was out of her control.She had no idea what had happened to Zayn, though she knew that Zayn was not a fragile man. Even when he was humiliated immensely in the past, he had never been as dispirited as he was now. In other words, Zayn must have experienced something so scarring that he had spiralled into complete and utter despair.As a result, she opened the door. She got out of the car and charged towards Zayn without the slightest shred of hesitation. “Madam!”Her secretary gasped aloud. It was raining so heavily that

Chapter 406 Wide Berth

It was awkward.It was not all that surprising, considering the fact that it was the first time that they were together, with no one else in the room, since their divorce.After his shower, Zayn had recovered much of his spirit. At the very least, he did not look as lost and in shambles as he was just moments ago. It took a lot to reduce a man of his fortitude into such a dolorous mess, but it was impossibly appalling news that drove him to the edge.Faye, on the other hand, had a weaker constitution. Despite the soothing, warm bath that she took, she still managed to catch a cold from the ordeal, releasing a salvo of rapid-fire sneeze until the tip of her nose was red all over. She looked pretty terrible.“A-choo!” She sneezed again. Zayn had been standing in front of her, so the snot splattered all over his face—a feat that greatly embarrassed her. “God, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to!”“It’s alright,” Zayn replied, shaking his head before heading to the bathroom to wash his face.

Chapter 407 Aftermath

“Yea. You’re right.” Faye nodded before adding, “Thanks.”Zayn smiled slightly and stepped out of the door without another word.It was just her, alone in the room, standing motionlessly for a long while. She sighed dejectedly. Why was she brooding now? She could not tell.Or rather, she did not have the courage to think it through.It took her two more minutes before she remembered just how many things she had wanted to ask Zayn—his real identity, why he seemed so lost and listless, why he looked like all of his hopes had abandoned him. However, when it was time to ask, she balked in confusion. In the end, nothing came out of it.The downpour outside saw no sign of abating. Zayn ditched his plans to leave and decided to stay the night at the hotel. It was a night where sleep evaded him until midnight rolled around. All he could think of was what happened throughout the day as he slowly phased from disbelieving shock to acceptance.There was one thing he knew for certain. Neither

Chapter 408 Oddball

Zayn called out tentatively as soon as the man’s familiar silhouette entered his line of sight, “Odd Bob? Is that you?”The man immediately responded, turning around and meeting Zayn’s eyes. After a brief moment of bewilderment, he cried out in joyous surprise, “Zayn!”He was a man of darker complexion and a rather plump physique, giving him an air of homely honesty. He was wearing a dirty uniform seemingly designed for medieval footmen. Quickly, he approached Zayn with an earnest, happy smile before giving a hardy punch to Zayn’s chest, laughing, “So it was you! God, it’s been so long, squirt! And here I thought you’ve forgotten all about your bro over here!”Sean and a few other higher-ups in the company had been following Zayn, and so when they saw what the man had done, they narrowed their eyes. Anger was starting to color their faces, but before anyone could come and teach Odd Bob a “lesson”, Zayn raised his hand and stopped them with a glare.Luckily, Odd Bob was wiping away

Chapter 409 Best Of Chums

Zayn thought for a moment before replying, “I did.”“What?”“Real estate agent.”“Whaaaa?!” Odd Bob turned his hands up in a hard, dismissive wave before leaping to his feet. “You won’t go far with that job! Business for that sector isn’t all that great right now. You know what, I think you should become an extra like me! Work a little elbow grease, and you could earn at least fifteen dollars to thirty dollars a day, so it’s not too bad at all. Besides, you’ve got the looks. If you’re lucky I bet it will take you just three to five years before you climb the ladder and secure yourself a starring role! Oh, by then, you’ll be hella famous!”Zayn froze. He was about to decline the offer, saying, “Wait, but—"Odd Bob had already sprung into action. “Ah, no buts! I’ve made a decision, and that’s final. For the record, Old Odd Bob’s pretty hot here. I can get you in with just a good word. Watch me!”Just like that, the man dashed away before Zayn even had the chance to say anything.U

Chapter 410 The Extra Guy

Zayn’s eyes were quick to meet the director’s gaze and felt his heart skip a beat. Was his identity going to be exposed right now?As one of Violet Vision’s in-house directors, this particular director had seen Zayn before. It would not be impossible if the man managed to recognize him because of that short meeting in the past.If Zayn’s real identity had been exposed right now… well, Odd Bob would likely be so taken aback that he would be at a loss of what to say, right?Honestly, Zayn was a little hard-pressed about his identity. The two of them started out in the same hard spot—maligned sons-in-law, broke, and inhumanely mistreated by their in-laws. Odd Bob had taken up the role as his unofficial big brother simply because he was a few years older than Zayn, and from then on, Odd Bob had been taking care of him in any way he could.Things changed, though. Zayn’s life had taken a hard turn, and after several windfalls later, he was a billionaire chairman while Odd Bob remained a
