Zayn was not fazed at all when confronted by the situation because virtual-novel.net never had any feelings for the Carters to begin with. Plus, if it was not for Faye, virtual-novel.net did not even want to be there at all. On the other hand, Faye considered everyone in the boardroom to be virtual-novel.net family. They were virtual-novel.net uncles, aunts, elders, and cousins whom virtual-novel.net peacefully interacted with during the festive season. Ironically, they all currently seemed more like virtual-novel.net enemies.
Faye was a sentimental person, so virtual-novel.net was extremely saddened by the whole ordeal.
Zayn could feel Faye’s pain, so virtual-novel.net held onto virtual-novel.net hand tightly as virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net a bright smile. He cooed gently, “Fifi, you don’t have to feel sad. They’re all animals who aren’t worth your tears. I promised you that I’d protect you, so I’ll definitely fulfill that promise.”
Faye did not believe him. She shot back angrily, “Zayn, didn’t I warn you not to come here? Why didn’t you listen? Do you want to go against my word that badly? Did you want to watch me make a fool of myself?!”
However, Zayn did not seem to be angered by Faye’s agitated emotions and continued smiling. From the very beginning, virtual-novel.net maintained his gentle disposition and remained forgiving towards Faye. “Fifi, just trust me this one time. Alright?”
At that moment, Zayn was being so gentle that it seemed almost surreal. In fact, Faye was so touched that you could visibly see virtual-novel.net features soften. His warmth was beginning to thaw virtual-novel.net frozen heart. She hit virtual-novel.net lip, unable to say anything to spite Zayn. However, deep inside virtual-novel.net heart, virtual-novel.net still did not believe Zayn…
When Zayn noticed that Faye had begun to calm down, virtual-novel.net started drawing his attention to the crowd within the boardroom. Instantly, his expression darkened as virtual-novel.net said once more, “Whoever it was that hit Fifi, come here, right this instant!”
At that moment, an unseeable force was radiating from Zayn’s figure once more. Although virtual-novel.net was not as ferocious as virtual-novel.net was when virtual-novel.net initially entered the room, though virtual-novel.net still had an invisible aura that made them uncomfortable as it made their hearts beat uncontrollably.
‘What’s going on? Why am I frightened of Zayn? Is something strange happening?’
That was the question running through their muddled-up minds. They had never seen this side of Zayn before, so they felt extremely uneasy. They were also aware that their authority was being challenged, which was completely unacceptable.
Howard was, again, the first one to step forward as virtual-novel.net said, “What’s the matter? Are you seriously causing a ruckus right here in my boardroom? Have you no idea who you are, or where you stand?!”
Howard was the first one who was able to overcome Zayn’s intimidating presence due to his immense hatred for him. As such, virtual-novel.net stepped forth. He stared coldly at Zayn, and spoke contemptuously.
With Howard’s help, the rest of the crowd slowly regained their composure and were able to look at Zayn in the same threatening manner.
At that moment, Zayn took a step forward and deftly stood in front of Faye to shield virtual-novel.net from the rest, practically making virtual-novel.net a target to all. Faye was more relaxed than never before. As virtual-novel.net looked at Zayn’s back, virtual-novel.net could not explain why, but virtual-novel.net had a brand new sense of security. Furthermore, virtual-novel.net felt that Zayn was becoming more and more like Violet Vision’s chairman…
She was left feeling quite bewildered.
Zayn stared coldly at Howard before revealing a sly smile. “Were you the one who hit Fifi?”
Howard particularly hated Zayn’s posturing. ‘He’s clearly a deadbeat who married into our family. He’s literally just a lapdog, but look at virtual-novel.net now, being so arrogant in the face of his master… This is infuriating!’
Then, Howard laughed out loud and said, “That’s right, I was the one who did it. What’s the matter? Are you going to take rev…”
Before Howard was able to finish his sentence, his vision had gone cloudy. In the next instant, virtual-novel.net was savagely slapped across the face. A resonant bam reverberated throughout the boardroom. He was immediately sent spinning before brutally collapsing onto ground.
The boardroom had once again fallen into an absolute shroud of silence!
Every single one of them looked at Zayn in disbelief. ‘Did that deadbeat really just hit virtual-novel.net right in front of us? The audacity!’
