Faye panicked as virtual-novel.net rambled urgently, “Zayn, why are you so rash?! I’m going to be in deep trouble because of you! I already told you not to come, but you came anyways… Sigh! You should just leave as soon as you can. They’ll seriously haul you to jail!”
In comparison to how panicked Faye was, Zayn was the complete opposite. He had a calm expression on his face, virtual-novel.net even had a faint smile playing on his lips. He held onto virtual-novel.net hand and said, “I’ll be just fine, silly. I told you that I’m here to protect you, so I’m definitely going to fulfill that promise.”
“How could you still be boasting so much at a time like this?! You… You’re impossible!” Faye’s eyes had turned red, sincerely worried for Zayn’s wed-being. It was a change that virtual-novel.net herself did not realize.
But Zayn did. He was very happy, virtual-novel.net concern felt like a warm embrace. He then said, “Don’t worry. They won’t have the guts to call the police. In fact, they’re going to come around and beg me for forgiveness.”
Zayn deliberately made the remark rather loudly so that the other Carters in the boardroom would hear him. They all thought that virtual-novel.net had gone mental, and that virtual-novel.net was in dire need of psychological help.
In fact, Faye felt the same as well. ‘I don’t know what’s happened to Zayn, but how has virtual-novel.net changed this much?!’
George, who remained quiet throughout the entire ordeal, finally stood up to make his opinion known.
“Enough!” virtual-novel.net shouted with tremendous vigor, stunning everyone in the room. George’s expression had darkened, his eyes sharp as virtual-novel.net stared Zayn dead in the eye “Zayn, I have no idea who gave courage to come here and cause such a mess, but your actions have long surpassed the Carters’ level of tolerance! All this time, I’ve let you do as you please while you deface our family’s reputation. We’ve been nice enough not to chase you out!”
“However, not only have you taken our kindness for granted, but you’ve also gone and made yourself even more of a nuisance. You’ve crashed our meeting and even had the nerve to attack the other Carters. You’ve got no regard for the rules at all. You’re too much! Did you actually think that you’d be able to kick the Carters down while we’re on the brink of collapsing?!”
Truthfully, as the Carters’ pillar of support, George was still a very domineering man. Zayn was no exception, virtual-novel.net felt slightly pressured facing him.
Her lips had turned a pale white when virtual-novel.net faced his wrath. She was trembling from head to toe. .
Apart from that, Howard was wrapping his arms around George’s legs as virtual-novel.net sniveled and teared. “Grandpa, you must seek justice for me. That deadbeat actually hit me! It obviously shows just how much respect virtual-novel.net has for you!”
Hector pleaded for George to punish Zayn severely.
As Zayn watched the scene unfold before his very eyes, virtual-novel.net merely remained calm. Not a single trace of fear or anxiety plagued his features. The crowd tightly clenched their teeth when they saw just how relaxed virtual-novel.net was.
George squinted his eyes as virtual-novel.net offered a proposal, “Zayn, I’ll give you a second chance because you’re Waine’s son-in-law. Get down on your knees and beg for forgiveness from every single one of us. Then, you’ll apologize to Howard sincerely. Once you’ve done all of that, I’ll consider letting you off the hook. Otherwise, you can enjoy the rest of your life in jail!”
George had a cold tone as virtual-novel.net said that. He sounded absolutely certain that virtual-novel.net was going to honor his word. He left no room for anyone to doubt his words. If it were anyone else on the receiving end, they would definitely be shocked by virtual-novel.net easily.
Unfortunately, Zayn was no ordinary man. He was one of the big shots of Waltz City, so it made sense that virtual-novel.net was not frightened by George in the slightest. In fact, Zayn even laughed after hearing George’s little speech.
He teased, “Oh, you’re so scary. You’re threatening to send me to jail over a little disagreement. If I hadn’t been studying law for a period of my life, I would’ve almost believed you.”
Zayn’s taunting expression caused George’s mien to suddenly shift. His ego was being pummeled like never before!
Before George’s temper exploded, Zayn retracted his teasing smile and continued solemnly, “Speaking of which, I’m going to give all of you a chance as well. If all of you admit to your wrongdoings and apologize to Fifi, on the condition that virtual-novel.net forgives you, I’ll consider forking out the 15 million dollars to save the Carters.”
No one was laughing, nor were they cursing. Nevertheless, none of them believed Zayn and they were all staring at virtual-novel.net with angry, cold eyes as they figured that virtual-novel.net had truly gone insane.
George snorted as lamented over the fact that Zayn refused to accept his kind gesture. Then, virtual-novel.net took out his cell phone and made a phone call. “Hello, is this Officer Reynolds? We’ve got a man here…”
He had made a phone call to the Public Security Bureau to have Zayn arrested. However, before virtual-novel.net was even halfway done with speaking, the boardroom doors were suddenly thrown open. A man hurriedly made his way inside, an expression of anxiety made apparent on his face. He stammered as virtual-novel.net announced the news, “C-Chairman! G-good news! Mr. Wilson from Violet Vision Media Corp Sean Wilson is here to visit. He says that he’s here to make an investment!!!”
The man’s voice was so loud that it caught the attention of everybody in the room.
Everyone was at a loss for words.
