”That’s great! I’ll tell Grandpa right now. He’ll be over the moon for sure!” Faye said and was about to fish out virtual-novel.net phone.
“I have one condition, though,” Nathan said smiling as virtual-novel.net stopped Faye with a gentle touch on virtual-novel.net hand.
Faye frowned and instinctively recoiled. She recalled the dreadful moment when William gave his one condition.
“Nate, if it’s something over the line like William’s, you can forget about it,” Faye’s tone grew quite frosty.
Knowing that virtual-novel.net had got the wrong idea from virtual-novel.net reaction, Nathan hurriedly explained, “Fifi, you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t mean that! I just want you to have a meal with me. That’s all!”
Faye was stunned. “Just a meal?”
“What else?!” Nathan asked, feigning annoyance. “Fifi, we’ve known each other for so long. Do you still not know who I am? Or do you really think that I’m someone despicable like William?”
Faye flushed, embarrassed that virtual-novel.net had misinterpreted him. She apologized, “Sorry for the misunderstanding, Nate.”
“It’s fine…”
At that point, a voice came from behind them, “Mr. Sullivan, thank you for your kind offer, but there’s no need to trouble you for 8 million dollars. I’ll fork out 15 million dollars to help the Carters through this difficult time.”
Faye and Nathan twirled around in unison, both wearing a different expression. Nathan was surprised and let out a chuckle while Faye glared at Zayn and chided, “Zayn Larson! What nonsense are you spewing?!”
Zayn had a sharp sense of hearing. Although virtual-novel.net was standing by the side, virtual-novel.net could hear all of Faye and Nathan’s conversation.
“I’m not spewing nonsense. A mere 15 million dollars is not an issue for me,” Zayn walked over and told Faye with a grin.
“Actually, I’ve been wanting to tell you that I’ll inject 15 million dollars into Neotech and the sum will be under your name. Honey, I’ve not gifted you anything decent since we got married four years ago. This 15 million dollars will be a small token from me.”
Nathan finally failed to hold it in and erupted into laughter, “Hahaha!”
Faye was speechless. She was not the least bit moved. Instead, virtual-novel.net felt horribly humiliated and wanted to dig a hole in the ground to hide in! Zayn was truly the bane of virtual-novel.net existence. Each time there was an outsider, virtual-novel.net had to embarrass her.
He was even making up a 15-million dollar gift. She genuinely did not know what to make of Zayn’s shamelessness. Having been husband and wife for four years, how could Faye not know how Zayn was doing? He was the poorest of the poor. Forget 15 million dollars. He could not even produce 1,500 dollars…
She gave Zayn a hard pinch and lowered virtual-novel.net voice to hiss at him, “Zayn, can you stop embarrassing me for once?!”
Nathan taunted, “Zayn, forgive my bluntness, but do you realize what 15 million dollars is? Even the tycoons I know don’t dare say they could give such an amount as a gift, but here you are, offering 15 million like it’s nothing. From what I understand, you can’t even find a job, right? Haha…”
