The people surrounding them were laughing as well while gazing at Zayn with a sense of schadenfreude. Drake Rivera was a rich man’s son. He was the only child and was thoroughly spoiled by his parents. Since he was young, he created countless trouble, contributing to his arrogant mannerism. He had no regard for anyone. Now that he was an adult, he still idled around and was frequently seen fooling around in places like bars and clubs. He hired a few thugs to work for him, so if anyone ever had the courage to provoke him, the person would only end up being beaten up. After he set his eyes on Yvonne, he was planning to take her down tonight originally. However, a new man suddenly came into the picture and stole the woman who was supposed to be his. How could he put up with that? So, he decided to beat Zayn up first regardless of the consequences. He had no lack of experience in this kind of skirmish in the past few years. Yvonne tensed up at once. She hastily wrapped her arms a
“F*ck, get him! Kill that son of a b*tch!” Immediately after Drake issued that order, men began surrounding him. Their eyes were fiercely locked on him, and they immediately pounced towards Zayn to take him down in one fell swoop.Although Zayn was facing such a dire situation, he merely snickered and had an expression that contained both disdain and faint excitement. ‘Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve gotten some action. This feels kind of nostalgic.’As for Yvonne, she was so terrified that her face had gone pale. She hurriedly released Zayn and let out a shrill scream. At lightning speed, the few gangsters had already rushed to surround Zayn, and they bared their fangs as they launched punches and kicks at Zayn who was already surrounded.Right at that moment, Zayn reacted. His movements were so swift that under the neon lights of the bar, none of them were able to see his actions. Instead, all they could hear was the sound of forceful pummelling. Then, ever
“Zayn…Zayn…Slow down. I can’t catch up with you…”Yvonne was unable to run fast due to her high heels, so she gasped for air as she ran behind Zayn. When she saw that Zayn had no intention of waiting for her, she frantically called out to him.However, Zayn still did not stop in his tracks, hence Yvonne had no choice but to quicken her pace. ‘Since I’ve met Zayn tonight, I have to seize this opportunity no matter what. Argh, but there really isn’t much I can do with these high heels on.’ True enough, just as she began running, her heel broke off. As a result, Yvonne fell onto the ground as she screamed in shock, “Ouch!”When he heard the shriek, Zayn stopped and turned to look back, only to see that Yvonne had fallen onto the ground. Her knee was bruised and there were tears in her eyes as she looked at him pitifully.Zayn sighed faintly and retraced his footsteps before kneeling down in front of her. “Why were you running so fast?”When Yvonne saw that Zayn was willing to show hi
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something as she said, “The only friend who is truly willing to pick me up now would only be Faye, but it’s so late at night now. It won’t be safe for her to come either…”‘How’re you going to refute me this time, Zayn?’After pondering for a moment, Zayn glared at her and said, “Just this once!”Yvonne instantly cheered happily in her heart as she ferociously nodded her head. “Of course, of course!”Zayn rolled his eyes since he was in a bad mood. Then, he helped Yvonne up on her feet and asked, “Can you walk on your own?”Yvonne tried to walk a few steps, but her face was filled with agony as she was unable to make her legs move at all. Her eyes were filled with tears as she said, “I can’t.”Zayn took a look at her. ‘She’s probably not going to be able to move for a while.’ Therefore, he said, “I’ll send you to the hospital. You can go home by yourself once you’re healed.”‘Like h*ll I’m going to the hospital! It took everything in me to
When Zayn heard the noise, he turned over to see Yvonne sitting on the floor with her face buried in her knees and her shoulders twitching. ‘It looks like she’s crying.’Once again, he walked back and said, “Hey, what’s wrong with you?”Yvonne did not say anything. Instead, she cried even louder. Her sobs just so happened to attract an old couple who was passing by. Although the old couple pointed their fingers at Zayn, he did not seem to be embarrassed at all. Instead, he kicked Yvonne’s feet and said, “Alright, alright, stop crying. I’ll send you home. Are you happy now?”“Just go. Let me die alone out in the cold,” Yvonne remarked angrily.Zayn rolled his eyes as he felt helpless. “Fine, just stay there then for the rest of the night.”Yvonne sniveled as she said, “I’ll tell Faye that you bullied me.”The edge of his lips twitched. “How didI bully you?”“I don’t care. You bullied me!” Yvonne continued to cry.Zayn wanted to leave numerous times and let Yvonne be by herself.
Zayn took a look at his surroundings and was not able to recognize where he was at that very moment, so he said, “I went out on a sales trip, but I’m coming home now.”“Buy a bottle of shampoo. We’ve run out at home.” Directly after telling him that, Faye hung up the phone. A moment later, Zayn received a notification that she had sent some cash over via Venmo, accompanied by the brand of the shampoo and the address of where he could buy it.However, Zayn did not acknowledge receipt at all. ‘I’ve got my own money now. Forget buying a bottle of shampoo, I can buy over the entire manufacturing company of any brand of shampoo I want within minutes.’After he returned home from buying the shampoo, Faye said, “Why didn’t you accept my money?”Zayn smiled as he said, “I’ve started working already, haven’t I? I’ve got the money for it.”Faye nodded her head and walked over to grab the shampoo from his hands. However, she was immediately able to smell a woman’s perfume on him. Instantly,
Zayn opened his mouth with the intention of stopping Faye, but the words just could not come out. Therefore, he slapped himself hard. ‘That was very careless of me. Why didn’t I clean myself before I came home? Where are your brains, Zayn?’Despite being frustrated, Zayn had no other choice. ‘Faye is obviously very angry right now, so it won’t do me any good to go in and explain myself. It would only make matters worse. I guess I can only wait until tomorrow when she calms down before I properly explain it to her.‘However, on the bright side, this isn’t a bad thing. At least, it shows that she still cares for me, doesn’t it?’After Zayn had taken a shower, he thought to himself. ‘After putting in two nights’ worth of effort, I was finally able to sleep in the room. Now, I’ve gotten chased out again barely after a day's passed. I’m such a failure.’That night, Zayn was struck with insomnia again. It was not until after 3 a.m. was he somewhat able to finally get some sleep. The next
Ruby had an embarrassed expression on her face as she sighed and said, “How could I not know that? However, the Carters refuse to allow it. Fifi has always had very good business acumen since she was young, even working in the Carters’ family business before she even graduated from college, and she has been rather useful to the company. The only reason why Fifi’s marriage is matrilocal is that the Carters treat her like a son, hence they forbid her from being married off.”True enough, when Faye had a matrilocal marriage with Zayn, that had been the main reason. She was talented in business, and the Carters did not have anyone else at the time since Howard was a stereotypical playboy who was not useful in the slightest. Consequently, the Carters did not have anyone to inherit the business. Therefore, under an angry whim, George agreed to allow Faye to have a matrilocal marriage and nurtured her as his granddaughter.Otherwise, given how beautiful Faye was, there was no way she would
