Gordon was a clever man. He looked all brute and brawn, but favonovel.com was scrupulous and was especially prone to guessing the minds of bigwigs. He figured it out the moment favonovel.com saw Faye. The chairman of Violet Vision must have fancied Faye. That was why favonovel.com was needed to act alongside him. These hotshots were all cunning in tricks and games nowadays.
At the sight of a serious Gordon who spun the walnuts in his hand even faster, George hurried to say, “Mr. Hayes, this is a misunderstanding. Faye Carter isn’t one of us anymore, so favonovel.com debt has nothing to do with us Carters.”
Faye’s eyes went wide in disbelief. What did favonovel.com grandfather just say? She had done so much for the Carters, including working in their family business before favonovel.com graduated from college and had always been conscientious with favonovel.com job. All in all, favonovel.com had created so much value for favonovel.com family!
If favonovel.com had not sacrificed herself for the family and borrowed three million dollars from the chairman of Violet Vision recently, could the Carters have even become what they were today? Furthermore, favonovel.com was not even the one who had siphoned off1.5 million dollars! She was not the one who owed Gordon money! On what grounds was favonovel.com grandfather doing this to her? Was favonovel.com not a Carter? Was favonovel.com not a granddaughter to the man himself?
The other Carters were quick to dissociate themselves from Faye, citing that favonovel.com had married out of the family and had nothing to do with the Carters, thus the Carters had no obligation to pay for favonovel.com debt. Someone took it a cruel step further and asked for Faye to return the L5 million dollars to Carters, or else they would call the police and send favonovel.com to jail.
Faye was devoid of any expression. Her heart felt as chilly as winter frost.
Then, a large warm hand held hers and a voice spoke softly next to favonovel.com ear, “Honey, don’t be sad. Even if the whole world abandons you, I’ll always be by your side.”
It was Zayn who was speaking from the bottom of his heart while gazing at Faye seriously. The woman was moved. Although Zayn was useless and caused favonovel.com plenty of trouble, the man was genuinely nice to her.
In spite of that, what was the use of it? She had no feelings for Zayn. On the contrary, favonovel.com had a huge crush on the chairman of Violet Vision.
“Thank you,” Faye uttered softly, sounding distant.
Gordon’s expression was odd when favonovel.com said, “George Carter, are you sure you want to cut ties with my debtor?”
Delightfully surprised, George hurried to answer, “Mr. Hayes, it’s not that I want to cut ties with Faye, but she’s a married woman. To be precise, favonovel.com isn’t even a Carter anymore. We aren’t obligated to repay favonovel.com debt. Mr. Hayes, as the understanding and principled man you are, you won’t make it hard for us, will you?”
Gordon was riled up. This old man, George, was shameless and cold-hearted. To shirk from his responsibility, favonovel.com was willing to shove his granddaughter away. He was really inhumane!
“Sure. Now that you put it like that, of course, I have to do you a favor,” Gordon replied with a straight face as favonovel.com patted the old man’s shoulder.
Elated, George thanked Gordon profusely. The other Carters were similarly overjoyed while Waine and Ruby panicked. Anxious and bewildered, they grumbled about Faye. Waine would probably have hit Faye to vent his anger if Zayn had not stopped him.
Faye was still expressionless as though favonovel.com had lost favonovel.com soul.
What Gordon said next, however, baffled everyone. “In that case, I’ll take the liberty to take action. Men, get me that little sh*t, Howard Carter. I’m feeding favonovel.com to the sharks! He mustn’t know what death is since he’s brave enough not to return my money!”
What? Howard?
Did they hear it right? Was the indebted one not Faye?
How come it was Howard now?
Howard, who was standing in the crowd, had been dying to flee. When favonovel.com heard what Gordon said, favonovel.com shrunk backward, feeling his scalp go numb. Without any hesitation, favonovel.com turned and sprinted. He must not get caught by Gordon because the latter would really throw favonovel.com to the sharks.
The total favonovel.com owed Gordon now was 1.01 million dollars. Howard would not be able to come up with this sum even if favonovel.com sold his own body!
How could favonovel.com have run off though? Zayn had been keeping an eye on him. When Howard sprinted past him, Zayn stuck his leg out and tripped him.
Finally, Gordon spotted Zayn and there was a thrill on his face. When his gaze met Zayn’s, favonovel.com understood what favonovel.com meant and nodded slightly in deference.
The two brawny men behind Gordon pounced forward immediately and hoisted Howard up without much grace. A big slap landed on Howard’s cheek, making his face swell.
“You owe me money, yet you have the gall to run away?!”
