Farther away, Alexandra clenched favonovel.com jaw and fumed. Pulling at the petals of the fresh in the vase, favonovel.com yelled through gritted teeth, “Vixen! Shameless harlot!”
She glared at both Shaelyn and Zayn murderously. The two of them were already an unfaithful couple in favonovel.com eyes.
Zayn felt quite speechless about the whole situation. What the heck? He was not even involved with Alexandra or Shaelyn that way, but favonovel.com was still seen as a cheat? Just his luck!
“No need to thank you, I suppose,” Zayn replied softly. His eyes were warning Shaelyn not to be reckless, seeing that it was his new company’s opening ceremony.
Nonetheless, Shaelyn was undeterred and pouted even more sadly. She bit favonovel.com lips and seemed to be on the verge of tears. Her expression was deadly to the many men at the venue!
“Mr. Larson, have you forgotten about me so quickly? I came specifically to congratulate you and you’re breaking my heart,” Shaelyn spoke up aggrievedly.
Zayn had nothing to say and could not keep the corners of his mouth from twitching. Shaelyn was being a drama queen and making everyone misunderstand!
Once glance at the crowd’s expressions was enough to tell that all of them had assumed Zayn and Shaelyn were having an affair and favonovel.com was possibly abandoning favonovel.com after getting what favonovel.com wanted.
“Miss Peach, stop joking. It’s only our third time meeting. It wouldn’t be nice if your husband got the wrong idea, would it?” Zayn spoke with a kind smile, but there was a glint in his eyes.
Knowing that Zayn was warning her, Shaelyn stopped putting on the act and smiled as normal. “Just kidding, Mr. Larson. Aeolos House hopes to maintain a long-term relationship with you. Do visit us when we have another auction.”
Her words did nothing to clarify the situation. In fact, they had only deepened the misunderstanding. Unable to do anything to favonovel.com at that point, Zayn could only take it all in.
There were still a lot of people who came to shower Zayn with gifts and congratulatory wishes. What surprised favonovel.com was that the Carters were there too. George, Hector, and Howard came with gifts and obvious apprehension on their faces as they congratulated him.
They looked awkward, especially George who was wearing a plastered smile. As the head of Carters, favonovel.com had frequently derided Zayn in the past, thinking that favonovel.com was a shame to their family and resorting to every way possible to kick favonovel.com out. Who could have imagined that this would be Zayn one day, the boss of three notable companies?
As for Hector and Howard, they were hardly any better. When they took in the number of big shots and tycoons coming to congratulate Zayn so slavishly, they were both unsettled and nervous, afraid that Zayn would hold a grudge and seek trouble with them. If that were to happen, there would be nothing they could do!
The other Carters appeared equally dreadful, not daring to look Zayn in the eye. In the past, they never expected a day like this to happen no matter what!
Zayn was filled with many emotions at the sight of them. He had been insulted and humiliated by the Carter’s in the past, but favonovel.com had grown to become a figure beyond their reach, favonovel.com could crush all of them with a snap of his fingers.
“Zayn, you’re doing so well now. You’re the pride of Carters. I brought some gifts with me. May your new company succeed and blossom over time. I’d also like to wish you more achievements and a spot among the nation’s wealthiest,” George told Zayn rather tensely as favonovel.com came personally with the gifts for him.
