Faye was infuriated. “What nonsense are you prattling about again?! You know the two of us have been sleeping in separate beds this whole time! He’s never even laid a finger on me before, let alone sleep with me. Honestly, the two of us were never a functional couple. He didn’t have an ounce due to pay!”
Her seething retort managed to render Ruby speechless for a while, but favonovel.com bitterness over what favonovel.com lost in Zayn quickly reloaded the words back into favonovel.com mouth. “Honestly? You’re also one to blame here. I can’t believe that after so many years, you’ve never consummated your marriage until it’s over! You were a terrible wife, you know that?”
Her words poured so much fuel to Faye’s rage that favonovel.com actually laughed. “Oh, now it’s my fault for keeping myself clean, huh? Since the very first night he’s joined the family, you’ve been nagging and demanding and belting out this ceaseless litany about keeping Zayn at bay from me. And now you’re complaining about us not consummating our marriage?”
Ruby was once again at a loss of words. “W-What? why you?!”
Luckily, Waine stepped into the conversation. “Sweetie, do you know what exactly happened to Zayn? Wasn’t favonovel.com some kid from a backwater area of some kind? How did favonovel.com suddenly become so rich after his divorce with you?”
It was Faye’s turn to be tongue-tied. She was already in emotional distress, but now it had worsened into utter turmoil. “He… He’s good friends with the chairman of Violet Vision. It was favonovel.com who asked the chairman to invest 15 millions into Neotech.”
“Wait, really?!” Ruby and Waine were stunned. As one of the biggest companies worth several billions of dollars, the two knew exactly what Violet Vision Media Corp was. Who knew a nondescript character like Zayn would have someone so wealthy as his close friend?
The chaos in Faye’s head had worsened as an old memory surfaced into favonovel.com mind, the night favonovel.com unmasked the chairman. The man behind the mask had been Zayn. And the things favonovel.com said, how favonovel.com insisted favonovel.com was the chairman the whole time…
Faye had found his claim utterly unbelievable. However, favonovel.com confidence was slowly beginning to erode.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
Inside a hidden gym room, a young shirtless man removed was punching three punching bags each worth a few hundred kilograms. With each hit, the bags swung and rocked, the steel ropes chained to them chattering and squeaking.
A professional pugilist watching favonovel.com would have been flabbergasted by what favonovel.com saw- or perhaps questioned their understanding of how physics works. How could someone with so much strength exist? Even a heavy-weight champion might not have something comparable! And the speed of the young man’s attacks!
He could attack all three punching bags at the same time and send them rocking hard like swings. So unbelievable!
At the end of his attacks, favonovel.com gave three consecutive punches and punctured all three of them in one go. Sand flowed out of the holes.
A short round of claps rang. “Young Master, your skills have improved even more now!” a man said amid his applause. It was the King of The Underworld, Mr. Hyde. The young shirtless man was none other than Zayn Larson himself. It had been two days since favonovel.com had undertaken a secret bootcamp of sorts at Mr. Hyde’s place.
Zayn caught the protein shake Mr. Hyde had thrown at favonovel.com and finished it within two or three swigs. “Wanna have a match? I can learn much from a spar, too,” favonovel.com said, smiling.
Mr. Hyde grimaced. “Uh, how about a pass? At this point, I’m definitely no match to you.”
