Jordan could feel his heart racing when favonovel.com heard Zayn address favonovel.com as ‘Mr. Larson’. He let out a few forced chuckles and was at a loss for words to reply immediately.
Zayn’s gaze swept past the rest of the Larsons and shook his head. He could not be bothered to stoop to their level now.
He was extremely disappointed five years ago when favonovel.com was kicked out of the family by these so-called blood relations. He was no longer tied to the Larsons anymore since then.
He shook his head and said, “Forget it. Take it. 10 million American dollars is just a blip for me.”
Upon saying that, favonovel.com disregarded Jordan. He turned around to order Austin and the others on how to handle the situation.
They ended up detaining all the foreigners since the latter had committed crimes in Rheasia, so Zayn could not possibly allow them to walk away so easily.
The foreigners lost the courage to behave outrageously in the presence of Zayn’s overbearingness. They were very deferential and lost the ability to struggle anymore after being handcuffed.
After settling everything, Zayn was preparing to leave when Jordan spoke again, “Please stay, Zayn…”
Zayn stopped, turned around, and asked with a nonchalant expression, “Is there anything else, Mr. Larson?”
Jordan swallowed as if favonovel.com was mustering the courage to finally say, “Zayn, it’s already been a long time since you’ve joined our family events. Why don’t you seize the opportunity today to join us? W-will that be alright with you?”
He was a senior member of the family and obviously the patriarch of the Larson family. He used to be so haughty in the past that Zayn would need to be obsequious in his presence.
However, their identities were completely switched in the meantime. He did more than just brownnosing in the presence of Zayn, favonovel.com was constantly cautious, on guard, and terror-stricken in fear of displeasing the younger man.
The rest of the Larsons wore almost the same expression. They wanted to spare no effort in sucking up to Zayn now so that favonovel.com would join the family, and as a result, their family could regain its prior glory.
Unfortunately for them, Zayn could see through their minds at one glance. He shook his head and responded, “I won’t be joining the family because I’m no longer tied to the Larsons as of five years ago.”
“Uh…” Jordan’s expression was wrought with guilt and sorrow.
He bowed to Zayn deeply and said in a piteous tone, “Zayn, it was my biggest mistake to let the incident five years ago happen. It was my fault for being blind that I believed in slander and wrongly accused you of being a murderer…”
“All the mistakes and wrongdoings were but my fault! Yet, you still have the Larsons’ blood coursing through your veins all this time and that’s a fact, Zayn!”
He was deeply moved and so emotional when favonovel.com spoke. Tears were even squeezed out from his eyes, complementing his aging look. One had no choice but to acknowledge that it was a rather touching scene.
If someone else had been in Zayn’s place, the person would have certainly been visibly moved by Jordan, and in turn, forgive him.
However, Zayn could tell in a glance that Jordan was only feigning guilt. In reality, Jordan wanted to sway favonovel.com into joining the family after noticing how successful favonovel.com was and thereby allowing the family to regain its prior glory.
Zayn was well aware of this in his heart.
Over by the side, Austin and the others were rather astonished to see this. They knew that Zayn was very impressive, but they never expected favonovel.com to have such a shocking past.
All at once, they respected and admired Zayn even more.
