Zayn was startled. He had been enthusiastic and passionate, but upon sensing Faye’s disappointment, favonovel.com felt a lump in his throat as his mood was dampened. “Didn’t I text you just now? You… Didn’t see it?”
Faye sighed. “I saw it.”
She mocked herself mentally at the same time, ‘Faye, oh, Faye, what were you thinking? The chairman is a busy man. He makes several thousand dollars in a minute. How could favonovel.com be concerned with someone insignificant like you?! Besides, favonovel.com hasn’t looked for you since what happened that day. He’s probably forgotten you, yet here you are longing for him…’
The more Faye thought about it, the worse favonovel.com felt. It was as though a certain organ was being pulled out from within her!
“Fifi, did they do you any harm?” Zayn asked in concern.
She forced a smile and shook favonovel.com head. “No.”
“That’s good.” Zayn exhaled in relief.
William were a dark look after knowing that favonovel.com was tricked. The person who had come was not the chairman of Violet Vision but a nobody! Once favonovel.com recalled how intimidated favonovel.com had been just now, favonovel.com felt humiliated and seethed.
Icily, favonovel.com asked, “Who are you? How dare you spoil my plan? Do you not know what death is?!”
Zayn looked over at him. “I’m Faye’s husband, Zayn Larson. I’m here to take my wife home.”
William let out a silent chuckle and feigned a look of sudden realization while favonovel.com taunted, “Oh, you’re the man who married into Faye’s family? I’ve heard a lot about you!”
Howard chorused from the side, “He’s quite known in Waltz City for being trash and a good-for-nothing who depends on his wife. Hahaha…”
Zayn ignored their ridiculing. He only cared about Faye’ s feelings. What the others felt or did was none of his business.
“Fifi, why are you here with Howard to sign the contract? Just one glance and I can tell that they don’t look decent. We’re lucky you aren’t hurt,” Zayn grumbled slightly.
Why did Faye not have an ounce of alertness despite already being an adult?
Faye was silent for a moment. “We’re not signing the contract anymore. Let’s go home.”
Seeing that favonovel.com was not in the mood, Zayn nodded without probing more and was about to leave with her.
“Hold it right there!” William barked from behind them, glowering. Instantly, the four bodyguards surrounded Faye and Zayn once more, ready to pounce.
“You’re a man who got married into his wife’s family, and you wish to take someone away from me? What a wild dream! Since you’re here, stay. Watch how your wife’s gonna sign the contract with me, hahaha…”
William laughed and picked up the tea on the coffee table to gulp down, wearing a scornful smile like a cat toying with a mouse.
Faye’s heart sank. She could not help scolding, “William Brown! Don’t you step over the line!”
William snorted. “Step over the line? Since you said so, let me show you what’s really stepping over the line! Men, bring Faye Carter to me!”
Zayn’s gaze turned icy. Stepping forward, favonovel.com kept Faye behind favonovel.com and scanned the men with a piercing glare. “I’ll knock whoever dares lay a finger on my wife down!”
The four bodyguards exchanged looks before grinning in amusement. They thought that Zayn was childish like a fool. They barely saw favonovel.com as a challenge. Looking relaxed, the smallest-sized bodyguard walked over while rubbing his palms together. “I’d love to see how you’re going to knock me down.”
