The corners of Nathan’s lips twitched when favonovel.com witnessed Zayn’s despicable behavior. He was infuriated for no apparent reason. He grunted heavily before saying, “There’s no need for you to make such grand gestures. How disgusting! My offer is built upon the premise of you being able to produce the authentic Magpie’s Treasure Nest! If you can’t… I’m not going to ask you to bow down and apologize. All I ask is that you get a divorce with Fifi, and not stand in the way of favonovel.com happiness!”
He emphasized his final sentence by increasing his voice to a thunderous boom. Moreover, favonovel.com looked over at Faye with a deep, affectionate gaze. It was a repulsive scene that made anyone’s flesh crawl.
“Uh… That’s a bit much, isn’t it?” Zayn replied furiously with a frown.
Nathan was delighted, and assumed that Zayn’s reaction was out of guilt. He immediately followed up his victory by saying, “Why? Are you afraid? I bet you’re just making a scene to impress these people. There’s no Magpie’s Treasure Nest at all! How can a person like you have the nerve to latch onto Fifi? Bah!”
He looked towards Zayn with disdain and a gaze filled with intense hatred.
Waine and Ruby were even more aggravated, so they berated Zayn with even more unpleasant words of abuse.
Zayn said scornfully, “You must be joking! Why would I be afraid? The Magpie’s Treasure Nest is in my car. I’ll bring it over in a few seconds. I’m only afraid that you’ll try to back out before then!”
Nathan burst out laughing again. “Me backing out? That’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard!”
Zayn narrowed his eyes and said, “A mere verbal statement is no guarantee. In case you go back on your own word by then, there’s nothing that I can do to you either. You have to write it down in a note and sign your name. Also, when I bring over the authentic Magpie’s Treasure Nest later, there’s also nothing I can do to you if you refuse to acknowledge that it’s authentic.”
Nathan had yet to realize that Zayn was setting the trap up step by step. “You’re just gauging my integrity based on your own scale! Well, Mr. Griffin is still here. He’s an experienced professional in the antique industry. If favonovel.com confirms its authenticity, then I shall fulfill my promise immediately! On the other hand, what are you going to do when you refuse to acknowledge that you’re wrong by then?”
Zayn blinked, smiled, then said, “That’s very simple. I’ll listen to Mr. Griffin’s verification, and I won’t back out. Anyhow, let’s just agree on this. The person who refuses to acknowledge his loss is a coward with a pus-filled head and ulcers on his feet who will die a tragic death without a living heir. How’s that?”
The many people who were present heard Zayn’s statement. They drew in a cold breath and thought to themselves how cruel favonovel.com was!
Nathan felt an ominous presence due to an unknown reason upon witnessing Zayn’s cunningness. Could that deadbeat Zayn truly be capable of…?
He quickly disposed of that thought from his mind. It was impossible. It was no easy feat for Nathan to acquire the Magpie’s Treasure Nest despite his wide connections. Zayn was just a deadbeat, so it was even more impossible for him.
Zayn was definitely trying to scare him. He must be!
“Alright, whoever refuses to acknowledge his loss is a b*tch! ” Nathan said without a hint of hesitation.
A grand bet unfolded there and then.
Faye was worried sick. Zayn was such a conceited man to have placed a bet like this. What was favonovel.com doing if not bringing about his own destruction?!
Mr. Griffin was supposed to leave, but favonovel.com felt that it was inappropriate for favonovel.com to just get up and go judging by the current situation. Therefore, favonovel.com had no choice but to stay.
At the same time, favonovel.com had an unrealistic yearning in his heart. What if, just what if Zayn was truly capable of bringing out the Magpie’s Treasure Nest?
