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
After hearing Ted’s words, Ruby’s eyes flew wide open as she said in shock, “My goodness, Violet Vision Media Corp? That’s a large-scale public listed company. You truly are a capable person to be able to join them, Ted. However, I heard that the company’s requirements are anything but reasonable, and not just anyone’s able to join them.”As his parents, both Matthew and Diana revealed an extremely boastful smile on their faces with no intention of concealing their sense of superiority. Ted then raised his head and said, “To many people, the bar that Violet Vision Media Corp has set is indeed very high, and many top students aren’t even able to join them. However, to me, it’s just a simple case. All I had to do was make some calls and I got in immediately.”Zayn was completely startled after hearing that. ‘Violet Vision Media Corp, isn’t that my company? Ted, you parasite, you’ve actually managed to get yourself hired? What’s going on here?‘Honestly, the reason I’m unhappy about th
Ruby rolled her eyes and said, “Now that you’ve brought this up, I’m so frustrated. This useless deadbeat has been married into the Carters for four years already, yet all he knows is how to stay at home and wait to be fed, looking for a job is out of the question.”Faye could not stand to listen to another word. ‘Mom is being so disrespectful towards Zayn in front of these outsiders. It’s so uncalled for.’ “Mom, what nonsense are you on about? Zayn found a job a while back.”Ruby criticized unhappily, “That intermediary realtor job? How’s that even considered a job? Is that even something that a human should be working as? What’s good about a job that barely pays 600 dollars? It’s nothing compared to Ted’s job.”Diana chuckled when she heard that, and there was an exaggerated expression on her face as she said, “Are you serious? An intermediary realtor? Are you even able to earn money from that?”Ted laughed in disdain as he said, “Mom, you mustn’t put it like that. An intermedi
Ted was instantly speechless after being refuted by Zayn. He was never an articulate person to begin with, and would even stutter easily when he was nervous. Now that he had been aggravated by Zayn so much that he was rendered speechless, he began to stutter as he panicked. “Y-you… S-shut up… Shut up!”Matthew ferociously slammed the coffee table. “Zayn Larson! What right do you have to speak to my son that way? You’re just a deadbeat who can’t even find a job!”Diana angrily glowered as she chimed in as well. “As expected of a deadbeat, you’re clearly jealous that my son is able to enter Violet Vision Media Corp while you’re just an intermediary realtor with no future at all. You’re just jealous of him. That’s why you deliberately offended Ted. You good-for-nothing freeloader!”The three of them were enraged. Any previous formalities were thrown out of the window as they spat out all kinds of scornful words at Zayn.However, Zayn was completely unfazed by all of that. In fact, he
Ruby pursed her lips. She was miffed by what she had heard, yet she had nothing to use as a rebuttal.Faye, on the other hand, was different. Her eyes were dazzling brilliantly in anticipation as she bit her lip.“700 million dollars? That sounds like an exaggeration, you know?” Zayn piped up, “The way I heard it, the new Chairman bought Violet Vision with just 350 million dollars.”Ted shot him a glare before retorting snippily, “Are you the expert on Violet Vision, or am I the one who knows what I’m saying? You’re just a real estate agent. What do you know? See, Violet Vision is the city’s biggest film company. It’s absolutely gargantuan! And you really think a mere sum of 350 million would be enough to buy all of that? Fat chance!”In a way, he was right. Under Zayn’s leadership, Violet Vision had taken a complete one-eighty from its negative growth to its current positive one. By now, its market value had gone up to about 540 million dollars, and a humble sum of 350 million wou
