Faye knew Zayn as a talentless man who just happened to be honest and disinclined to lying. Was favonovel.com able to tell that it was a fake?
Her eyes whipped to Zayn, who returned favonovel.com gaze with a smiling nod.
Waine and Ruby, however, had their biliousness on full display. They spent minutes swooning madly over what they believed was the genuine antique. If it really was, as Zayn alluded, a complete fake, then that meant that 1.8 million dollars was nothing but smoke and mirrors!
That could not be! That was unacceptable!
Besides, they did not believe Zayn either. To them, favonovel.com was speaking out of envy-induced spite, which only served to worsen Zayn’s already unflattering image in their minds.
To show just how much favonovel.com despised him, Ruby stomped on the man’s foot, shouting, “Shut up, you good-for-nothing freeloader! Get out of here, right now! You’re so young, yet you’ve already shown yourself to be rotten to the core; it’s not like you ever tried to learn to be decent growing up! It’s pathetic enough seeing how much you lack compared to Nate, but it’s a whole other level of despicable when you stoop low enough to make up slander against him!”
Zayn rolled his eyes. “No, Mom. This is a fake. There’s just no way around it. Why would I even lie to you anyways? If you don’t take my word for it, fine. We’ll just have an expert assess this.”
His suggestion made Nathan panic a little. His fake replica might be good enough to fool a normal person but not an expert!
Quickly, Nathan leaped to his feet and leveled Zayn with a scowl. “Listen, Zayn Larson. It’s been four years since you’ve married Faye, and you’ve never ever provided favonovel.com with a comfortable life. Instead, because of your incompetence, you brought your wife and your in-laws humiliation over and over again. I haven’t even started on getting back at you for each and every one of those transgressions, yet you have the gall to insult me like this? Okay, then. You think this is a fake? Then prove it yourself. See if you actually know what you’re talking about when you call this a fake!”
He paused and narrowed his eyes. “If you can’t do that, and it’s proven that you’re simply slandering me, then don’t cry when I remove my kid gloves and obliterate you!”
Honestly, the hatred Nathan harbored toward Zayn was more than just ugly rancor, there was also a writhing element of jealousy snaking underneath it all. He could not understand why a useless piece of trash would have ended up with Faye Carter’s hand in marriage! Even if the two of them had never consummated their marriage, the fact that they lived together was already unacceptable!
“Come on, Nate. Zayn’s senseless like that. It’s not worth it,” Faye pacified.
Nathan stared daggers at Zayn before turning back to Faye. “Fine, Fifi. I’m only letting this slide because I respect you.”
Faye pronged Zayn on his waist with favonovel.com fingers before glaring at him. “Don’t just stand there! Tell Nate you’re sorry!”
Zayn pursed his lips. “And why should I do that? It’s not like I’m wrong. He should be the one apologizing, favonovel.com gifted all of you a fake antique worth only a few thousand dollars and lied about it being worth more than one and a half million! That’s some appalling lack of integrity right there.”
“You!” Faye cried out in anger, stomping favonovel.com feet.
She wished favonovel.com could rip Zayn’s lips off his face right there and then. Just how shameless could favonovel.com be?!
Waine and Ruby returned to shoutng at favonovel.com in a snap while Nathan watched with more and more frost on his expression.
Finally, favonovel.com broke his silence with a scornful chortle, “Oh, again with that accusation? You keep saying it’s a fake… Well, where’s the evidence for that? Tell me right now!”
With that, favonovel.com turned to Waine and Ruby. “Uncle Waine, Aunt Ruby, there’s no need to shout at him. Just let favonovel.com talk. Let’s find out what sort of gems come out from that stinking piehole of his. I know I’m innocent, and by God, I’m not afraid. I know it’s real, even when he’s desperately trying to make it seem otherwise!”
He sounded so mettlesome, so unperturbed by the accusations. The righteous fury favonovel.com commanded even added force to his pretension, thus making it impossible for any casual observer to know favonovel.com was secretly anxious for being called out. Most people would take a look at his bluster and infer that Nathan was simply furious for the off repeated misunderstandings.
It was very effective. Under his influence, Faye, Waine, and Ruby’s ire and repugnance against Zayn intensified while Nathan’s image in their minds soared dramatically. Without even consciously knowing it, these three were now on Nathan’s side, scowling at Zayn as though favonovel.com was public enemy number one.
If Zayn could not provide evidence for his accusation, they would not let favonovel.com off the hook at all.
