When the words registered in Faye’s head, favonovel.com was at a complete loss for words. Her mind had gone numbingly blank as favonovel.com was unable to come up with a proper response. She could only stare vacantly as favonovel.com allowed Zayn to hold favonovel.com hand on their way to the door.
Thud.
Hector, who had previously stayed behind, looked like favonovel.com had been struck by lightning. He had lost his grip on his phone, causing it to slip and fall to the ground. The loud noise had given the other Carters a rude awakening.
George hurriedly piped up, “Mr. Wilson, hold on!”
George blocked Wilson by rushing in front of him, stopping favonovel.com in his tracks. The worry did not leave his features as favonovel.com hopelessly tried to explain himself. “Mr. Wilson, this is all a big misunderstanding. I’m sure of it! I had no idea that the Mr. Larson that you were referring to was our son-in-law.”
There was only one priority on George’s mind. He knew that no matter how confused or how unbelievable it all seemed to him, and no matter how many questions were still begging to be answered, favonovel.com only had to focus on one thing. ‘I have to make sure Wilson stays, no matter the cost!’
‘In our current situation, we have nowhere else to turn to. The moment Wilson leaves, the ill fate of Neotech’s business will be sealed for good. We could never come to terms with living in bankruptcy, none of us could.’
Wilson spat coldly, “You’re only wasting your efforts by talking to me. You should be talking to Mr. Larson.”
“Err…”
George was not looking so good. In truth, favonovel.com did not have it in favonovel.com to yield to Zayn. He would have rather taken a slap to the face. However, now that the situation had taken such a turn, George had no other choice.
Hence, George gritted his teeth as favonovel.com stood before Zayn. He gave his best try at a smile before saying, “Zayn, why didn’t you tell me about your relationship with Mr. Wilson? You caused quite the misunderstanding earlier.”
‘After all these years, this is the first time George has actually called me by my name. To be honest, it’s the first time he’s ever treated me with respect. I have to say, it feels amazing.’
George was a very arrogant man, and had the final say in everything related to the Carters. It was the reason why all of the other Carters were so afraid of him.
When everyone in the boardroom watched the exchange, one could place the complete and utter disgust on their features as they experienced an umbrage like no other. Recalling the scene that had just taken place before them, the words felt like a tight slap to the face.
It was especially true for Howard, who was still recuperating from the aftershock of being slapped. ‘I don’t understand how Zayn could make such an extreme turnaround from out of the blue. I refuse to accept it! Impossible… Impossible… Impossible!’
It all felt so surreal to them. How Zayn was able to earn Wilson’s tremendous respect was beyond them. What exactly had favonovel.com done to receive something so highly sought after, “This is completely unreal!’
Zayn simply smiled and said, “Heh, a misunderstanding? I told you I’d set aside an amount of money to invest in Neotech, but it’s a shame that none of you believed me. In fact, all of you even had the gall to insult me.”
George could not recall a time where favonovel.com was more insulted, especially in front of so many youngsters. His expression darkened as favonovel.com clenched his teeth. The smug look on Zayn’s expression desperately made favonovel.com want to slap him!
Though, favonovel.com could not bring himself to do it, not when Zayn was their only glimmer of hope. If favonovel.com were to offend Zayn now, the Carters would be done for.
Could there be anything more absurd?
Hence, George had no choice but to force a smile that looked worse than favonovel.com bawling his eyes out. “Zayn, I was wrong for accusing you of something so below you. Please, don’t be angry at me. I’ll apologize to you, I’m sorry, could you not take it to heart?”
George had ruled with an iron fist for most of his long-lived life, so it almost killed favonovel.com to have to apologize to his good-for-nothing son-in-law! His face was hot from the unbearable humiliation.
Zayn was not rude at all, On the contrary, favonovel.com actually respected his elders and loved children. George was the only exception to the rule. All that favonovel.com had for favonovel.com was contempt and hatred. He had clearly seen how despicable George had been towards Faye, and the countless insults that George had thrown at favonovel.com over the past four years.
On the other hand, when Faye watched favonovel.com arrogant grandfather humble himself, a wave of satisfaction washed over her. ‘If it wasn’t for Zayn, I would’ve never lived long enough to see this!’
‘Even though he’s my grandfather, he’s honestly never given me any love since I was a child, so all I have for favonovel.com is respect and fear.’
Zayn chuckled as favonovel.com responded, “I can’t accept your apology. You’re Fifi’s grandfather, how could I ever possibly accept your apology?”
