Everyone inside the banquet hall were still recovering from the sudden revelation from Zoey, stating that the cheap and shabby dressed man that resembled a pauper was actually her boyfriend, when they suddenly heard a loud sigh resounding across the entire banquet hall, conveying a mixed emotions of displeasure and disappointment.It was very obvious that matriarch Julia was disappointed and displeased to see the person that Zoey Storm had revealed to the entire family and their guests, as her boyfriend.The entire banquet hall was drowned in deep silence that you could literally hear a pin drop, everyone instantly turned towards the matriarch, awaiting her say in all of this.Everyone knew that Zoey Storm was the matriarch’s favorite daughter. So, they could roughly guess how disappointed she was towards Zoey's behavior. However, they couldn't tell if the matriarch was going to set aside her fondness for Zoey Storm and punish her in a fitting manner. That's what got everyone's curiou

The middle-aged beautiful woman with white hair tied in a ponytail, and icy lake-blue eyes, wore an expensive white blouse and a matching ankle-length skirt. She adorned herself with a rare and luxurious pearl hanging around her neck, a jade bracelet.Apart from her icy lake-blue eyes, Julia Storm also had a stern countenance that clearly indicated that she was very hard to impress. She emanated an aura of authority, confidence, and the ability to not bend to anyone.

As Zoey Storm led Nolan through a hallway, heading to the banquet hall where the event is currently taking place, she briefly explained his role in all this.Zoey stated that all Nolan needed to do was to act like her boyfriend for the entire day, after that they'd call it even, and they could all go their separate ways.She filled him in on potential questions he should be prepared for that her family was likely going to ask him, providing Nolan with suitable answers to all the questions.These weren't any extreme questions, they were just simple habitual questions like; What does he do for a living? Who was his family? What do they do as well? How old was he? She also told him that they would ask questions like; If he had a car, a house? …At that short moment, Zoey Storm made sure that her response to these questions synced with that of Nolan's, without any mistakes, so that in this way no one would be able to figure out their little deception.Zoey felt that Nolan could easily ac

The man's facial features contorted into a deep frown as he stared at Nolan with a cold glint tinged within his gaze.He scrutinized Nolan for a few seconds and suddenly laughed in a mocking tone. Somehow he found Nolan's response quite amusing. He suppressed his laughter and stared at Nolan again, this time around there was a hint of amusement and curiosity laced in his gaze as the ends of his lips curled up into a slight grin, revealing a glittering gold tooth embedded on his upper roll of teeth.“I must say you've got the guts to talk back at me in such a manner.” The man confessed with an amusing smile as he flicked his wrist gently as if flaunting the Rolex wristwatch strapped around his wrist.No, it was very obvious that the man was showing off his wealth, empathizing on his superiority in class, money, and status over Nolan, who he suspected to be a mere employee in the event center—probably a trash janitor or a loser security guard.The man wanted to remind Nolan that he pos

The taxi that Nolan hailed finally pulled up at the entrance of the event center where the birthday party was going to be hosted.Nolan paid the fare and alighted from the vehicle. The taxi immediately reversed and drove off.Nolan slipped his hands into his pants pockets and strode to the main building inside the compound of the event center. He causally swept his gaze around the vicinity, quickly taking view of several luxurious cars glistening from the sunlight seeping through the shed, parked at a large parking lot outside the main building.The flashy and lavish cars parked outside clearly served as an indicator that this place was not meant for just anyone. Only the rich could afford to host their parties in this kind of event center. Nolan could tell that renting the event center for a day or two would cause a neck for the common and average folks. Even some rich people in the city can't afford to carry out all their events in a year in such a grand and expensive event center.
Chapter 135
Nolan didn't say anything as he returned back to his initial position, instead he placed his hands behind his back and bent his head slightly, facing the ground—his eyes fixed on the floor. He'd occasionally lift his gaze up and observe the faces of the three members of the Lee family inside the living room.Nolan was patiently waiting for Jessica to make her decision.Was she going to listen to Stacey's words and drive Nolan away just because her position as the successor of the Lee family was on the line? Nolan quietly wondered inwardly.However, for the past three to four minutes since he walked into the living room after eavesdropping on their conversation, Jessica Lee was mute.In fact, the entire living room was enveloped in an awkward silence as both Stacey and Kevin were also patiently waiting for her to make the ultimate decision and fire Nolan for good.Stacey Lee was visibly growing impatient by the second, however she tried to hold it in putting her fate that her sister wi
