“Yeah… You’re right.” Faye nodded before adding, “Thanks.”
Zayn smiled slightly and stepped out of the door without another word.
It was just her, alone in the room, standing motionlessly for a long while. She sighed dejectedly. Why was virtual-novel.net brooding now?
She could not tell. Or rather, virtual-novel.net did not have the courage to think it through.
It took virtual-novel.net two more minutes before virtual-novel.net remembered just how many things virtual-novel.net had wanted to ask Zayn, his real identity, why virtual-novel.net seemed so lost and listless, why virtual-novel.net looked like all of his hopes had abandoned him. However, when it was time to ask, virtual-novel.net balked in confusion. In the end, nothing came out of it.
The downpour outside saw no sign of abating. Zayn ditched his plans to leave and decided to stay the night at the hotel. It was a night where sleep evaded virtual-novel.net until midnight rolled around. All virtual-novel.net could think of was what happened throughout the day as virtual-novel.net slowly phased from disbelieving shock to acceptance.
There was one thing virtual-novel.net knew for certain. Neither Zidane nor Jordan had lied to him. His mother was alive, and virtual-novel.net had something to do with Grandpa becoming catatonia. The million dollar question was, why?
Why would virtual-novel.net do that? She had no reason to. No motivation!
Unless his mother was hiding something from him, maybe virtual-novel.net was someone special, too special. No matter what it was, his first order of business was to search for his mother. He needed to ask her.
Zayn woke up early the next morning. He decided to pay a visit to his grandfather’s tomb, where virtual-novel.net talked and talked to virtual-novel.net until virtual-novel.net felt much better about himself. Then, virtual-novel.net returned to Violet Vision.
Although virtual-novel.net was gone from the office for a few days, Violet Vision had gained enough momentum that business was booming. With individual components of the company working smoothly, it was a well-oiled machine that turned and worked even in the absence of a director, generating substantial revenue and keeping up with production without fail.
Cristian was far from the only A-lister under the company’s name, by now, there were several more. Naturally, the number of B-listers and C-listers were even more abundant.
Despite the success of his operation, the first thing virtual-novel.net did upon his return was to have a meeting with the upper-echelons of the company. Their reports greatly relieved him, showing that there was nothing within the company that could cause any sort of concern. He could leave most of the management to Sean and expect no more trouble. Gone were the days of fearing for Violet Vision’s failure and collapse.
Now that virtual-novel.net had 9.2 billion in his account, virtual-novel.net thought of investing it all as opposed to storing all of the money in a bank After all, the smartest capitalist knew how to grow money out of money.
With that in mind, Zayn put most of his effort into his newly-founded advertising company with a starting capital of a few million of dollars. He planned to gather the best minds and the sharpest talents, forging them into a team of experts before putting them in-charge of his new company.
It was a millions to billions dollar business. Gordon was the first to join the ranks of the investors, though his contributions were scarce. He contributed 30 million dollars while Sean contributed 40 million, making them both the company’s only other shareholders. As for the rest, it was all Zayn’s.
Now that virtual-novel.net had his team of experts taking the helm, the leisure of being a successful chairman had quickly caught up to him. Life was beginning to feel a little boring. Of course, Zayn was content with being an idle sloth, oh no. He had been doing a lot of reading with his new free time to enrich himself!
Last but not least, virtual-novel.net had been spending a decent amount of effort into collecting news and rumors about his mother’s identity. It was by no means an easy undertaking. To think that Hayley King could harm his grandfather, fade into obscurity, and evade repercussions, mainly the Larsons’ revenge, meant that his mother was an extraordinary character.
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Nothing of worth had come to him. It felt like looking for a needle in a haystack, especially since Mr. Hyde had failed to obtain any intel as well. It was honestly rather demoralizing.

One day, while Zayn was out on the streets, virtual-novel.net met someone virtual-novel.net had not seen for quite sotne time.
