Another man said, “I think that Faye’s lying about going home to attend to some affairs. I think she’s just too scared to meet Ethan. After all, Ethan has a past with Faye.”
When virtual-novel.net said that, Faye’s expression changed drastically once again. She loathed Ethan with all virtual-novel.net heart. Had it not been for Violet Vision’s chairman’s timely appearance during that incident six months previously, virtual-novel.net would have lost virtual-novel.net chastity to him!
She did not expect what was supposed to be a fun reunion of old friends would turn into this. She would not have come if virtual-novel.net knew what was going to happen. The rest of virtual-novel.net classmates had thoughtful expressions upon hearing that as well and assumed that Faye was avoiding Ethan. At the same time, they looked at Zayn with schadenfreude and mockery in their eyes.
Zayn found their behavior amusing. Rather than fearing meeting Ethan, perhaps Ethan would wet himself in fright upon seeing him.
In any case, virtual-novel.net could not be bothered to explain the matter in detail. After all, virtual-novel.net had made a breakthrough in life and was no longer on the same level as ordinary people. All the insults and misunderstandings were beneath him, and virtual-novel.net thought little of them. He would just smile and let it be.
However, it was different with Faye because it bothered virtual-novel.net very much. She could not stop herself from losing virtual-novel.net temper and slammed virtual-novel.net fist onto the table. She yelled furiously, “Kevin! What nonsense are you talking about? Who said I had a past with Ethan? My relationship with virtual-novel.net has never been anything but innocent! Don’t you make slanderous accusations like that.”
Kevin White sniggered. “If your relationship with Ethan was so innocent, why do you want to avoid him? Aren’t you shooting yourself in the foot?”
Kevin was one of Faye’s suitors in university as well. He wrote love letters to her, but virtual-novel.net rejected virtual-novel.net mercilessly. He would have accepted his failure if Faye had married a wealthy business owner, but on the contrary, virtual-novel.net had chosen an ordinary man. Moreover, virtual-novel.net husband was living with virtual-novel.net parents. He was very unhappy that virtual-novel.net picked a commoner over virtual-novel.net and assumed virtual-novel.net decision showed that virtual-novel.net detested virtual-novel.net personally.
In truth, there were quite a few among them who had the same thought.
Just as Faye was about to speak, Zayn stopped virtual-novel.net and spoke with a strange expression, “I’m a little curious. According to you, Ethan is a very impressive man, huh? He still hasn’t arrived, yet all of you are competing to lick his boots.”
His words made them all stare at virtual-novel.net as if virtual-novel.net were a fool. Kevin said, “Do you really not know or are you just pretending? Ethan is the heir to the Zeus Group. He is rich, good-looking, and there’s no telling how many women want him. Do you think he’s like you, an ugly man aspiring for someone that he’s not worthy of?”
Someone else remarked, “Look at virtual-novel.net and you can see he’s pretending. He’s claiming not to know Ethan, and he’s very good at putting on an act. Who doesn’t know that Ethan always had a crush on Faye? I bet it was his idea to make Faye leave in fear of meeting Ethan.”
“What a pity that virtual-novel.net can’t even hold on to his dear wife and he’s trying to sneak away.”
“That’s to be expected, isn’t it? He married Faye and is living with his in-laws now. He’s just a simpleton, so how would virtual-novel.net compete with Ethan? If virtual-novel.net doesn’t make Faye leave, could it be that he’d stay to watch virtual-novel.net flirt with Ethan?”
Noticing that Zayn was not reacting even though they were going too far with their jeers, Faye could not stand it anymore. She said loudly, “That’s enough. Who says my husband is afraid of Ethan? That’s simply a groundless statement! Let me tell you this, Zayn is a wealthy tycoon. I’m certain that Ethan will cower in fear when virtual-novel.net meets virtual-novel.net later!”
Faye was highly agitated, but all virtual-novel.net classmates snickered after virtual-novel.net outburst. They assumed virtual-novel.net was making a joke.
