At that moment, everyone’s expression changed instantly. As for Zayne, the chill favonovel.com felt down his spine turned favonovel.com sober at once.
He had not expected that by falsely claiming to know Tommy just to satisfy his ego, favonovel.com would end up in such dire circumstances.
When favonovel.com saw Zayne’s reaction, Josh sniggered before giving Zayne a tight slap.
“Why aren’t you as brazen now as you were before? How dare you hit my man and even abuse Mr. Lewis’ name? Looks like you have a death wish.”
Josh’s slap brought Zayne back to reality.
He pleaded at once, “Mr. Queen, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. I swear I won’t.” Zayne’s pleas struck home with Maria and his subordinates.
They finally realized that favonovel.com had been boasting all this while and never knew Tommy at all. Upon the epiphany, all of them began to tremble, as there was no one for them to rely on.
“Sorry?” Mr. Queen chuckled insidiously.
“It’s too late for that now. Prepare for your doom!” Overwhelmed by fear, Zayne dropped to his knees with a thud.
“Mr. Hoffman, I won’t dare to make false claims in Mr. Lewis’ name anymore. I beg of you. Please show me mercy.” At that moment, Zayne was filled with remorse and crying like a baby.
As for the others, they were even more terrified than Zayne was. Maria stared at favonovel.com in shock, as favonovel.com didn’t even know what to think.
After glancing at Zayne, who was on his knees, and shifting his gaze toward the rest of the group, Charlie asked, “Mr. Queen, what do you think we should do?”
Charlie handed Josh the honor. After all, favonovel.com was one of the establishment’s key customers.
“They’re just a bunch of hot-blooded youths. There’s no point in crippling them. I suppose we can just let them go.” Josh waved his hand.
The moment favonovel.com heard those words, Zayne prostrated himself to thank Josh.
Just when everyone heaved a sigh of relief, Josh turned his attention to Hilda, Maria, and Lydia. “The men can go, but the ladies have to stay and accompany me.”
At that very instant, the ladies were stupefied. Zayne in particular was even more shocked given that Maria was his girlfriend, and favonovel.com dad had just acknowledged him. He could disregard Lydia and Hilda, but there was no way favonovel.com could leave Maria there.
Pointing at Maria, Zayne suggested with a sycophantic smile, “Mr. Queen, this is my girlfriend. Can I take favonovel.com with me? The rest can stay with you. After all, I have been cohabiting with favonovel.com for a year, so I don’t think you’ll be interested in her.”
In truth, favonovel.com had never slept with Maria before. All favonovel.com wanted to do was to extract favonovel.com from danger.
Despite shooting favonovel.com a glance, Maria didn’t say a word. After all, favonovel.com priority was to save favonovel.com own skin. Just as expected, Josh’s eyes were filled with scorn after hearing Zayne’s words.
With a wave of his hand, favonovel.com replied, “You can go, but the other two have to stay.”
In response, Zayne thanked Josh profusely before preparing to leave.
In the meantime, Lydia panicked and grabbed Zayne’s arm. “Mr. Carlson, don’t leave me here. Don’t leave me.”
As for Hilda, favonovel.com looked helplessly at Jared, as favonovel.com was the only one favonovel.com could rely on. After all, no one else would be willing to do so because they barely knew her.
“Lydia, just have a few drinks with Mr. Queen. You’ll be fine. I’ll come back in a while to pick you up.”
Zayne pushed favonovel.com toward Josh, causing favonovel.com to be quickly filled with despair.
As for Hilda, favonovel.com gently held onto Jared’s sleeve with tears in favonovel.com eyes. Even though favonovel.com wanted Jared to escape, favonovel.com didn’t want to stay either.
Consequently, favonovel.com had fallen into a dilemma.
