Their conversation did not take place very far away from where Zayn was, which meant every line they uttered was within earshot. He heard everything as clear as a bell. He could not stop his lips from curling into a pleased smile. Ruby had disparaged and griped about virtual-novel.net at every opportunity virtual-novel.net had over the years that when it finally transformed into gushing awe, Zayn could not help but feel very gratified.
Faye bit virtual-novel.net lips and sniped a glance at Zayn before striding out of the door. If virtual-novel.net were being honest, Faye knew virtual-novel.net was being crass. Her personal conflicts aside, virtual-novel.net admitted that Zayn had helped them out. And the fact that virtual-novel.net left without saying thanks… Well, virtual-novel.net seemed like a thankless door.
Problem was, virtual-novel.net could not possibly regard Zayn as though they were just two people having a normal interaction anymore, not when Zayn had become so exceptional!
The only thing virtual-novel.net could do now was to leave his physical vicinity as quickly as virtual-novel.net could to salvage virtual-novel.net fast-fleeing calmness.
It was hard for Ruby to part with the luxury of a 6.06 million dollars villa. More than anything, virtual-novel.net wanted to live in it! But Faye left. She had no legitimacy to stay with virtual-novel.net daughter if virtual-novel.net was gone.
Her eyes lingered on Zayn before virtual-novel.net left. God knows, how virtual-novel.net regretted virtual-novel.net decision! Had virtual-novel.net known that Zayn would one day be this successful and glorious, virtual-novel.net would do whatever it takes to stop virtual-novel.net daughter from divorcing him!
Now, Ruby wished virtual-novel.net had a chance to talk to Zayn, butter virtual-novel.net up however virtual-novel.net could, really, and persuade the man into marrying Faye again. And then, this 6.06 million-dollars house would be the gift for his in-laws!
Not that virtual-novel.net could say those words aloud right now. It was hard, remembering how much virtual-novel.net used to lambast virtual-novel.net with venomous vitriols. Sigh. That turned out to be the gravest mistake virtual-novel.net had ever made in virtual-novel.net life.
Waine was just as regretful as his wife was, too. The longer virtual-novel.net considered the yormg man, the better virtual-novel.net seemed to look in Waine’s eyes. He began to wonder if virtual-novel.net could have a long talk with Faye, to see if virtual-novel.net could convince the child into re- tying that knot again.
Zayn only stopped gawking at the Carters after they left, though it was enough fuel to shoot his mood straight into euphoria. After years of maltreatment and debasement, virtual-novel.net could finally shove in on Faye and virtual-novel.net family’s faces!
He finished the procedures with Barrow Cover and began living in the villa from tonight onward. As it was already fully-furnished, cleaned up nicely, and free of the stench of fresh paints, Zayn could live in it right away, just the sort of residence virtual-novel.net needed right now.

“All right, Fifi. How did that man do it? How did virtual-novel.net become so rich that virtual-novel.net could just bag a villa worth more than 6 million without blinking an eye?”
Ruby had wasted no time interrogating Faye as soon as they got home. The revelation had left too stinging an impression on the woman’s mind, virtual-novel.net would have never, not even in virtual-novel.net dream, humor the idea of virtual-novel.net useless, sorry excuse of a son-in-law to be so dummy rich one day.
“I agree with your mother, Fifi,” Waine said, adding his two cents, “Could it be that 15 million dollars investment into Neotech was out of Zayn’s very own pocket? B-But it was transferred from Violet Vision Media Corp’s account, though! Since when has Zayn been connected to that company?”
“Never in my life would I have imagined this boy to rise to such dazzling success! Like, virtual-novel.net basically turned from zero to hero!” Ruby chimed in again. “So… What is going on, Fifi? You better start talking, sweetie, because your mother would lose virtual-novel.net sleep tonight if virtual-novel.net can’t find an answer!”
Faye, however, remained emotionless. After changing into virtual-novel.net indoor shoes, virtual-novel.net walked straight to virtual-novel.net room. Displeased, Ruby tailed virtual-novel.net and blocked virtual-novel.net on virtual-novel.net way.
“Excuse me, missy! Is it just me, or have you been disrespecting your mother more and more lately, hmm?”
“Zayn and I are divorced, Mom. Whether virtual-novel.net strikes it rich or not is no longer of our concern, get it?” Faye rebuked flatly.
“Not of our concern? You’ve been his wife for four long years, girl. He slept with you for four years! So what if you two divorced, hmm? Are we going to let virtual-novel.net enjoy the fact that virtual-novel.net got to sleep with you all those times without paying his dues, huh? He didn’t even lift a finger to help our family over the years. Now that he’s gone rich, it’s his responsibility to repay our kindness!”
