Chapter 61 Man In Mask
Ethan sniggered aloud and exposed his true self. He leered at Faye. “Ah, it seems that the medicine has already begun to take effect, huh? I can see that your face is flushed and your legs are weak. Do you feel unwell?”The rest of the people were also laughing maniacally like him as they ogled Faye with malicious intentions. “Ethan! Wh-What have you given me?!” Faye’s voice even began to sound shaky. “You’re so smart, Faye. Surely you’ll be able to figure it out, so there’s no need for me to explain it to you, is there?” Ethan looked as despicable as he could be. Where was his graceful and dapper act from earlier? Right now, Ethan looked just like a perverted thief. The man, who had tried to compel Faye to drink a shot of whiskey earlier, said with an evil grin, “Beautiful girl, this is some good stuff, huh? Haha…”Faye’s entire body was trembling in anger. She regretted it more and more now. If she had the chance to do it all again, she pledged that she would have listened to

Chapter 62 Are You Okay?
Indeed, the person who had broken the door with a kick was precisely Zayn wearing a clown mask. He had appeared as the chairman of Violet Vision to save Faye. He had used this persona after careful consideration. Firstly, Zayn was just a common person, so it was not very realistic for him to know Faye’s whereabouts. In addition to that, the owner of Fireflies was acquainted with Ethan, thus it was highly possible that Ethan had notified Fireflies’ owner prior to his plan this time. If Zayn were to appear without careful consideration, he could possibly fail to rescue Faye and also implicate himself as well. However, adopting the persona of the chairman of Violet Vision would be different. He could find out Faye’s whereabouts easily and rescue her without much effort. Upon entering the room, he noticed that Faye’s clothes were still tidy and she had yet to be violated, so his anxiety melted away. While rushing over here, he had met with an accident on the road that delayed him

Chapter 63 Sir
Faye was already unbearably fatigued at this point as the relentless drug was coursing through her body rampantly. She was in a terrible state. Her breathing sounded rushed, and she had just widened her mouth to speak when her legs buckled. Having lost the ability to support her own weight, she slumped into Zayn’s arms. Zayn could only hastily hold her tightly so that she would not topple over. Faye’s body was so limp now that she was hanging on to him. The scent emitting from her body was even more intense now. Not only was her body limp, but her gaze was also glazed over as well. However, Zayn was more than infuriated now. That b*st*rd Ethan had actually done this to Faye! At the same time, he was grumbling about Faye in his heart. He had already advised her against this, yet she had refused to listen to her. As a result, she had fallen into his trap. “S-Sir... Thank... Thank you...” Faye’s voice was shaking even when she said that. As she exerted a lot of strength to e

Chapter 64 Awkwardness In The Room
Faye was breathing faintly down Zayn’s neck. She appeared very seductive in her current condition. Had it not been for Zayn’s timely arrival, she would have been violated by the b*st*rd Ethan for real. At the thought of this, Zayn felt lingering fear in his heart. The place was crowded, so he hastily used his coat to shield Faye’s face and said to a nearby staff member, “Prepare a room for me at once. Also, send in some ice cubes and towels.”Soon after, he arrived at a room that had just been vacated. Zayn placed Faye on the bed, took the ice cubes and towels, then ordered everyone else to leave them alone.Faye was struggling even more intensely now. Flushed and glassy-eyed, she hung onto Zayn like an octopus. She was completely unlike herself.She was still conscious though. Zayn felt his heart being wrenched in pain when he saw the evident agony and shame in her eyes However, her lucidness only lasted for a moment before it vanished. The effect of the drug was so strong

Chapter 65 Like You’ve Never Seen Her Before
Faye wanted to speak to him more so badly. She wished that she could keep him for the night so that he could accompany her in her current circumstances. “Sir, I’m really sorry about the incident earlier. Frankly, I’m not like that on usual days, I…” Faye was so ashamed that she could not finish her sentence anymore. Zayn was amused by her because he had never expected that she could be so shy. On the surface, he nodded calmly and said, “It’s best if you're more cautious from now on. It’s a dangerous place out there, and someone isn’t going to turn up and rescue you every time.”Faye lowered her head. It was strange because she was obviously being scolded by the chairman, yet she did not feel embarrassed or furious. On the contrary, she felt that he was being rather sweet and she was touched. It felt like he cared for her. “Hmm, I won’t do it again from now on…” Faye said softly with a gentleness that she had never expressed before. In his heart, Zayn was upset. He had done man

Chapter 66 With A Friend Like This, Who Needs An Enemy?
Faye fell into silence. There was nothing in Yvonne’s words she could rebuke or refute, even if her heart was open. So, in the end, she could only answer, “I don’t really know…”Yvonne was in one of her worst moods, she could even consider it as abysmal.She had expected Zayn and Faye’s marriage to be undone by the increasing fractures in their relationship because it would mean there would be a window of opportunity open for her. Alas, as it turned out, Zayn simply capitalized on his identity as the chairman of Violet Vision Media Corp to bring himself closer to Faye. Worst of all, Faye was head over heels for him too!Yvonne had no idea why Zayn refused to come forward with his real identity to Faye, but she knew it did not change the fact that this piece of news boded ill.“Fifi, do you really not know who the chairman of Violet Vision really is?” Yvonne asked tentatively.Faye shook her head. “No, of course not. I’ve only met him twice, and both times, he was wearing a mask, b

Chapter 67 Good Deeds Are No Guarantee
Zayn had to wait a little while longer before Yvonne and Faye sauntered out of Fireflies. Seeing the latter's condition improve so much was a tremendous relief to him.A few moments later, Sean dashed out of the club. He sauntered toward the car and very obediently reported to Zayn, “Sir, I’ve completed the task as instructed. Ethan Capel and his cabal are in deep trouble now, I can assure you. They’ll be in there for at least three or five years before being released.”Zayn nodded in satisfaction, replying, “You’re not half-bad this time.”Jubilance spread across Sean’s face immediately. He smiled so widely that his pudgy cheeks had to squish together to make way for his grin. “It’s all thanks to your excellent tutoring, sir.”Instead of following up on that, Zayn simply looked out the window.“Sir, if you’re so inclined, Gordon Hayes would like to treat you to dinner.” Sean added, “He says he would like to get to know you a little better, so maybe if you could tell him the time—

Chapter 69 Not A Nice Figure At All
Signs of a temper shadowed George’s mien. He trained his eyes on Faye, stating, “You and your family have always just owned five percent of the shares.”Faye balled her hands into fists. “That’s not what you promised me, Grandpa. You told me that if I could borrow three million dollars from Mr. Wilson, you’d allocate an additional 10% of the shares to us!”“She’s right, dad. Didn’t you make a promise?” Waine chimed in dissatisfaction.“Shut up!” George bellowed, leveling a nasty scowl at Waine. The younger man’s face immediately paled under George’s sight, prompting him to cast his eyes to the floor while biting his tongue.“Are you truly so shameless that you have no problem reminding us of what you’ve done?” George continued with the same bellicosity now oozing out of his expression. “Thanks to you, everyone’s scorning us for having a loose woman among our kin! Thanks to you, the good name of the Carters has been sullied!”“I didn’t do anything of that sort!” Faye rebuked hotly.

Chapter 70 Callous Carters
It was the night of the Carters’ annual gathering.Howard appeared distracted, as though his husk of a body was unattended, as he looked on with his eyes glazed and unseeing. His face was abnormally pale too as cold beads of sweat potted his skin.“Howard, are you okay? You don’t look so hot,” Hector asked, his eyebrows furrowed.Howard stared at nothing in particular without answering him. It was beginning to worry the older man, who placed his hand on Howard’s forehead before crying out in shock, “Your forehead’s really cool…Are you having cold sweat?!”Upon hearing his voice, everyone else turned to look at him.“Oh, uh, what?” Howard finally pulled himself back to reality. When he realized where he was, he quickly shook his head. “I, uh, I’m fine.”“Are you sure? You’re having cold sweat. Did something happen to you?” Hector asked, unconvinced and concerned.“Yeah, Howard. If something’s troubling you, at least let the family know.”Howard forced a smile. “What do you mean
