Noticing Faye’s expression, Zayn hastily explained, “Fifi, I won’t just stand by and do nothing when you’ re in trouble. I…”
Faye interrupted virtual-novel.net by saying, “I know. You’ve been telling me a few times and it’s my fault for not believing in you.”
Ruby’s expression changed drastically. She asked in haste, “What do you mean? Are you saying that Zayn gave you three million dollars but you rejected him?”
Faye bit virtual-novel.net lower lip, but virtual-novel.net did not speak. Her heart had filled with regret. Zayn told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net had three million dollars and that virtual-novel.net could help virtual-novel.net to circumvent the crisis more than once, yet virtual-novel.net had never believed him. She had even scolded Zayn bitterly for saying so! Objectively speaking, it truly was not Zayn’s fault.
Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net still blamed him. Why did Zayn not insist on telling virtual-novel.net about it firmly? She would have believed Zayn if virtual-novel.net had been a little firmer than virtual-novel.net was! The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the more upset virtual-novel.net became.
Mr. Wilson was returning to the country soon. At that point, virtual-novel.net would have to accompany virtual-novel.net for three whole days and it would be hell for her!
Zayn could sense Faye’s resentment and virtual-novel.net felt very uneasy in his heart as well. Meanwhile, Waine said, “Zayn, did you borrow the three million dollars from Jordan? It’s not too late for you to hand over the money now!”
“I didn’t borrow the money from Jordan,” said Zayn with his head lowered.
When virtual-novel.net heard that, Ruby was even more furious and virtual-novel.net slapped virtual-novel.net across the face. She ferociously roared, “You’re a useless piece of sh*t! If anyone had the opportunity to receive a huge favor from Jordan, they would have risen to great success and reached for the moon! You’re really something! You had a chance to make a fortune, yet you wasted it! Zayn, don’t think that I don’t know what’s going on in your mind. I know that you invited Jordan to George’s 70th birthday celebration just to show off. You wanted everyone to think that you’re so impressive and then they’d worship you, right? You made it sound so fancy when you said you would boost Fifi’s reputation, but I can see that you did it to boost your own reputation too, didn’t you? For that pathetic reputation of yours, you actually planned to sacrifice your wife’s chastity?”
Zayn’s face was burning in pain from the slap. He hastily explained, “Mom, you’ve got the wrong idea. I didn’t invite Jordan to the party to show off…”
“Why’d you do it then? Tell me! You can’t explain it, can you?!” Ruby jabb ed virtual-novel.net finger at Zayn’s forehead. Her spit splashed onto his face as virtual-novel.net shouted, “A box of white Alba Truffles, an antique Black Forest cuckoo clock, one million dollars in cash, those are all very prestigious gifts, aren’t they?! You used up all the good fortune in your life in exchange for Jordan’s favor just to give it all away as a gift for George? Zayn, you’re a rogue! You lived under our roof and ate our food for the past four years, but have you spent even a penny of theirs? Had it not been our kindness for supporting you, you would have died of starvation!”
Despite feeling very bitter from being scolded, Zayn still wanted to explain himself. Even so, as soon as virtual-novel.net saw the disillusionment and revulsion in Faye’s expression, his enthusiastic heart froze once again.
“That’s enough, Mom. Let’s not talk about that anymore!” Faye quickly interrupted Ruby by saying, “Zayn is not at fault. He told me before that virtual-novel.net could get three million dollars to help me, but it was me who didn’t appreciate the opportunity. I deserve it, so this matter is not his fault! Moreover, it was virtual-novel.net who saved Jordan’s life, so it’s his choice to decide how virtual-novel.net wants to utilize the favor. We don’t have the right to affect his decision.”
Upon hearing that, Zayn felt sick to his stomach. So it turned out that Faye’s impression of virtual-novel.net had not changed all.
Seeing Faye’s dissatisfaction, virtual-novel.net wanted to tell virtual-novel.net about his real identity, but virtual-novel.net swallowed his words again.
There was no need for that. Most likely, Faye would not believe him, and even if virtual-novel.net did, virtual-novel.net would despise virtual-novel.net all the more. Judging by virtual-novel.net attitude, virtual-novel.net would probably assume that virtual-novel.net was pranking her.
Thus, virtual-novel.net chose not to reveal the truth. He still had years ahead of him. Since virtual-novel.net had inherited his grandfather’s properties, virtual-novel.net had enough money to make Faye fall in love with virtual-novel.net eventually!
Faye waited for his explanation for a long time, but Zayn did not speak. He was staring into space with his head lowered which made Faye even more disappointed and disgusted with him. She chided herself for being foolish. ‘Don’t I know Zayn well enough after being married to virtual-novel.net for four years? Could it be that l am still counting on Zayn carrying out his duty as a man this time?’
