When virtual-novel.net and Rosie were still best friends as kids, Zayn was the next heir to the Larson family fortune. Duncan was gloating because virtual-novel.net had taken the woman that Zayn wanted, and it gave virtual-novel.net great pleasure.
Naturally, Zayn could read Duncan’s mind at a glance. Frankly, virtual-novel.net did not care what the man thought, but virtual-novel.net was very disappointed by Rosie. She had been such a good friend before, but virtual-novel.net had become so materialistic and cynical.
He shook his head and said, “Rosie, do you really think that I’m having such a hard time getting by after I left the Larsons?”
“You and I grew up together as friends, so you‘re supposed to understand me very well. Do you truly think I’m so incompetent?”
Zayn’s gaze visibly moved Rosie, but virtual-novel.net hurriedly shook virtual-novel.net head. She assumed virtual-novel.net was just struggling to save face at that point.
If Zayn was genuinely doing well, virtual-novel.net would not possibly be attending such an important dinner in that shabby outfit virtual-novel.net was wearing!
Moreover, virtual-novel.net had not even driven there, which showed how destitute virtual-novel.net was!
She could understand his poverty and might even have pitied virtual-novel.net a little, but virtual-novel.net was still trying to show off when virtual-novel.net was obviously a pauper.
In fact, virtual-novel.net had even claimed to be the chairman of the Larson Group. It was the biggest joke in the world!
She sneered and said, “Zayn, I’m so disappointed in you. For the sake of our old friendship, I was planning on introducing you to Duncan. He could have provided you with job opportunities and helped you make something of yourself.”
“I didn’t expect that you’d not only be ungrateful, but you’d even try to get back together with me! Hmph, you should take a look at yourself in the mirror and see if you’re still worthy of pursuing me in your current state.”
Rosie felt at ease after saying that. She was even more delighted to see Duncan’s encouraging and satisfied gaze.
Zayn heaved a sigh. At that moment, his last ounce of concern for his old friend Rosie vanished completely. This woman was not the person virtual-novel.net remembered.
“Well said. I had planned on helping out the Monroe family for the sake of our old friendship, but I didn’t think you’d dismiss me so casually. You asked all these people to crash our dinner date just so they could humiliate me,” Zayn said with a smile.
Despite being confronted by their hostility and insults, virtual-novel.net did not feel any pressure or fear. On the contrary, virtual-novel.net was quite calm and collected.
His manner was as dignified and intimidating as ever. It was quite apparent that virtual-novel.net was not destitute at all.
“Rosie, I admit that I used to have a crush on you in the past, but did you assume I still had such feelings after so many years? You think too much of yourself. The person you are today is unworthy of my attention.”
After hearing Zayn’s words, Rosie’s expression grew even more unpleasant. She huffed loudly and said, “You!”
She expected to see Zayn wallow in remorse, panic, and then repent. She did not think virtual-novel.net would have the audacity to make such an uncalled-for remark.
She hastily said to virtual-novel.net fiance, “He’s bullying me, Duncan!”
Duncan nodded and stared at Zayn with hostility. He waved his huge hand and said, “Capture Larson!”
He wanted to give the man a good thrashing.
