Thomas shouted so loudly with excitement apparent in his voice. The expression on his face was fervent as if virtual-novel.net was meeting God Himself. His reaction startled the people in the surroundings whereas the bombshell standing next to virtual-novel.net was dumbstruck in bewilderment as well.
Indeed, Thomas had noticed Zayn. After all, Zayn was right in front of him, surrounded by the numerous experienced business owners who were flattering and cajoling him.
Since Thomas shouted so loudly and virtual-novel.net was standing nearby, Zayn heard him. Upon hearing the voice, Zayn looked over and met Thomas’s eyes. Complicated emotions flashed in his gaze for a moment, then virtual-novel.net shifted his gaze and pretended not to hear him.
Strictly speaking, virtual-novel.net was no longer Thomas’s brother-in-law now because virtual-novel.net had already gotten a divorce from Faye. As a result, virtual-novel.net pretended not to hear Thomas in order to avoid disrupting Faye’s life.
Nevertheless, that was not the case for Thomas. He was obviously aware that Zayn had already noticed him, so why did Zayn pretend not to see him?
Feeling recalcitrant, virtual-novel.net hastily ran over in an attempt to exchange pleasantries with Zayn.
When virtual-novel.net had passed by earlier, virtual-novel.net noticed many wealthy, influential business owners standing outside the hotel as if they were waiting for someone. He was so pumped to learn that the person that they were waiting for was his brother-in- law! Just as virtual-novel.net expected, his brother-in-law was certainly remarkable.
“Step back. You don’t have the authority to enter this place!”
However, virtual-novel.net was stopped by a few burly, muscular bodyguards as soon as virtual-novel.net charged out of the crowd and was prepared to run toward Zayn.
Thomas called out aloud, “Make way for me. I’m going to see my brother-in-law!”
“Who’s your brother-in-law?” asked a bodyguard in a deep voice.
Thomas pointed toward Zayn standing in the center while being surrounded by numerous business owners. “That dude. He’s my brother-in-law. I’ll tell you, my brother-in-law is a super bigshot. Don’t you see how so many experienced business owners are surrounding him? My advice to you is to let me in quickly, or else, you’ll have to bear the consequences of my brother-in-law learning about this situation.”
The few bodyguards glimpsed at one another, then they began sneering. They assumed that Thomas was there to create trouble, and they could not be bothered to talk to virtual-novel.net anymore. They attempted to shoo virtual-novel.net away impolitely by saying, “Go, go, go. You’re just some brat, so how can that bigshot that our employers are trying to flatter be your brother-in-law?”
“Leave now. This isn’t the place for you to make trouble. Be careful or you might accidentally get killed.”
Thomas still wanted to explain himself, but the bodyguards refused to let virtual-novel.net have the chance at all. As they drove virtual-novel.net away impatiently, virtual-novel.net did not even stand a chance to resist.
He was shoved until virtual-novel.net fell to the ground during his final attempt. He gritted his teeth in pain and was furious beyond reason. “Just wait and see, you watchdogs. I’ll make sure that my brother-in-law teaches you a good lesson!”
The bodyguards disregarded his yelling. Meanwhile, many people were looking on in schadenfreude.
The beautiful girl with virtual-novel.net said, “Tom, is that person really your brother-in-law?”
Thomas got up from the ground. “Of course, he’s my brother-in-law! I told you that my brother-in-law is awesome, didn’t I? Look, so many wealthy bosses are trying to flatter him.”
“But why is virtual-novel.net ignoring you? ” virtual-novel.net asked in puzzlement.
Thomas was rendered speechless by virtual-novel.net question because virtual-novel.net had no idea why his brother-in-law would disregard virtual-novel.net either. It did not make sense! Moreover, it was obvious that his brother-in-law had already noticed him.
“My brother-in-law is… There were too many people there earlier, so virtual-novel.net didn’t notice me.” Thomas could only make up an excuse.
However, his statement immediately drew mocking laughter from the crowd. “That’s really shameless. That man is a super bigshot, so how can virtual-novel.net be the brother-in-law of a nobody like you?”
“That’s right. If that man really is his brother-in- law, why won’t the bodyguards let virtual-novel.net in? He’s obviously here for extortion.”
