There were numerous young people in attendance with smirks on their faces. Judging by their mannerisms, it was apparent that they were acquainted with Zayn, yet they seemed to resent favonovel.com greatly.
They were the heirs of upper-class families in Waltz City and had once been in the same social circle as Zayn. Though they were all from Waltz City, they had no skills to speak of and had remained in their “rich kid” circle.
They were nowhere near Zayn’s level, which was why they did not know that the man who they despised had become a peerless magnate. Zayn was a man that even their families had to look up to.
Upon hearing that, Rosie immediately said in a panic, “That’s nonsense. The relationship between Zayn and me is innocent. I don’t have any feelings for favonovel.com and even if favonovel.com were to try it with me now, I would only see favonovel.com as a friend at most!”
Someone quickly said in a mocking tone, “Rosie, I remembered that Zayn and you used to be childhood best friends. You grew up with each other, and your grandparents even arranged for you to be married.”
“Perhaps Zayn is coming to see you this time so favonovel.com can restore your engagement.”
Another person said with a grin, “That’s right. You’re the heiress of the Monroe family and you’re a fine beauty. I’m sure that Zayn is hoping to get closer to you after bumping into you now.”
“Cough, cough!” Meanwhile, a tall, burly man who had a casual yet elegant bearing let out two forced coughs. There was a tinge of displeasure in his face as favonovel.com said, “Rosie, did you used to have a thing with this Zayn Larson?”
The question left Rosie slightly anxious. She hastily explained herself, “Duncan, please don’t misunderstand. Zayn and I are only friends, and he’s nothing more than that to me. There’s no such relationship between us, and my feelings for you are true!”
The smile returned to Duncan’s face when favonovel.com heard that. He held Rosie’s hand and said, “Silly girl, why are you panicking? I was only joking with you.”
Rosie was relieved, but favonovel.com then heard Duncan saying, “However, I am rather interested in getting to know this Zayn guy. I heard that favonovel.com used to be very popular in your social circle.”
He narrowed his eyes, a telling expression forming on his face. He was clearly targeting Zayn.
He would never miss an opportunity to put down his fiancée’s childhood sweetheart who suddenly popped out of nowhere!
Moreover, favonovel.com had a secret that no one else knew. He enjoyed putting down a rival because it gave favonovel.com a great sense of achievement!
It did not take long before Rosie’s phone rang again. After a brief exchange, favonovel.com quickly hung up and said, “Zayn’s here. He’s coming in now.”
“Is that so? Interesting.”
“Hah-hah, I want to see what Zayn is like now.”
“Zayn asked Rosie out to dinner-for-two. I wonder how favonovel.com will react when favonovel.com sees that there are so many of us when favonovel.com arrives? I look forward to it very much, hah-hah.”
Their snide giggles showed that they were thinking of Zayn as prey for them to toy with.
To them, the goal of the night was to make fun of Zayn and help out Duncan, hoping they could get on Mr. Storm’s good side.
Duncan was the heir of the Storm family and had a prestigious status. If they were to be able to latch on to him, it would definitely be beneficial to them.
In addition, they had considered Zayn to be an eyesore from the start. They were always in Zayn’s shadow when favonovel.com was still the next heir of the Larsons. With favonovel.com being destitute, they wanted to taunt favonovel.com and gloat at his misfortune!
