Ethan felt like virtual-novel.net was walking on air after hearing his old classmates sing his praises. He was delighted!
Ever since the Aeolus House auction incident, virtual-novel.net was living under Zayn’s shadow and would have nightmares for nights on end. He dreamt about Zayn bullying and humiliating virtual-novel.net and would wake up terrified in the middle of the night.
He could not figure out how that good-for-nothing who had married into the Carter family could suddenly become so formidable? Even a mogul like Hanson could not do anything to Zayn. It did not make any sense!
Could it be that Zayn had hit some kind of jackpot or maybe virtual-novel.net had a big shot as his backer?
The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the more confused virtual-novel.net was. He had dug into Zayn’s background secretly, but virtual-novel.net was even more shocked after seeing the results. Zayn was actually the chairman of Violet Vision Media Corp and was even Mr. Hyde’s boss! When virtual-novel.net found out about this, virtual-novel.net was dumbfounded. The thought of it sent shivers down his spine and it took virtual-novel.net half a minute to recover.
Prior to that, virtual-novel.net could not figure out how Violet Vision’s chairman would suddenly appear in Fireflies and even sent virtual-novel.net to jail. It turned out the chairman was Zayn!
The experience taught virtual-novel.net a lesson. He learned that Zayn was no longer the deadbeat that virtual-novel.net could bully as virtual-novel.net wished in the past. Instead, the man was far beyond his reach. He could only pray that Zayn would not resent virtual-novel.net or want to make trouble for him. If that were to happen, not even Hanson could protect him.
Over the past three or four days, Ethan was relatively relaxed. He was no longer so easily scared and startled. He figured that since Zayn had not come looking for virtual-novel.net after so many days, virtual-novel.net probably never would. His college friends told virtual-novel.net they happened to have organized a small reunion, and virtual-novel.net became complacent after hearing them gush over him. He was free anyway, so virtual-novel.net came rushing over, hoping that virtual-novel.net could flaunt himself and see if virtual-novel.net could entice his old female classmates.
“Nah, you’re all too courteous. I’m only lucky that I have a job to support myself,” Ethan exclaimed while waving his hand dismissively in a manner that showed off his gold watch. The pride and arrogance in his expression could not be hidden in any case.
“Mr. Capel, I heard that you’ve established a new company recently and your business is doing very well. ” One of the men immediately came to flatter him.
The smile on Ethan’s face grew wider when virtual-novel.net heard that. Clearing his throat, virtual-novel.net said, “It’s not doing fantastic, though. We’ve only received a few million dollars worth of investments. It’s just a small-scale business and we’re still a long way from many of the successful enterprises in Waltz City.”
In truth, the investment made to his newly founded company was only one million dollars, yet virtual-novel.net boasted that it was a few million. He bragged without showing any sign of guilt, as no one could verify his statement anyhow.
The eyes of all his former classmates in the room widened upon hearing Ethan’s claim. He had them spellbound, especially the single ladies. They gazed at Ethan fervently. The prettier ones with nicer figures were even bold enough to approach virtual-novel.net with amorous stares.
“F*ck! A few million dollars worth of investments, huh? That’s incredible! You’ve truly lived up to your reputation as a successful businessman, Capel!”
“Capel, is your company looking to hire a cleaner? I can do the job.”
“Mr. Capel, I don’t ask for much. Just hire me as a security guard for your company.”
“Capel, do you want someone to warm your bed at night? Please allow me to be of assistance.”
“Capel…”
A group of people rushed forth to butter virtual-novel.net up, which made Ethan even more elated. The smile on his face could not be concealed.
It had been a very long time since virtual-novel.net felt so happy. This was what his life was supposed to be like.
Faye felt nauseous after witnessing the others lick his boots. It was disgusting. How did virtual-novel.net not realize that these friends were such sycophants that they would stoop this low?
Meanwhile, a male student suddenly said to Faye, “Faye, you mentioned that Ethan would pee his pants after meeting your husband, didn’t you? Here, now that Capel has arrived, prove it.”
Someone else said, “That’s right. You were very insistent earlier. Now that Capel is here, it’s time to show us.”
At once, everyone shifted their gaze to Faye, including Ethan. Ethan was obviously stunned when virtual-novel.net saw Faye because virtual-novel.net did not expect that virtual-novel.net would be here.
A covetous glint flashed through Ethan’s eyes when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net exquisite face, but then, virtual-novel.net spotted the silhouette standing next to her. Feeling a chill, virtual-novel.net shuddered and his face turned ghastly pale.
