The people watching were shocked by Howard’s aggressive attack. 

The three remaining youths were especially astounded by the scene. They met Howard before and were aware that he was Draco’s brother-in-law. He normally treated Draco well, so why did he abruptly decide to attack him?

Draco bawled aloud from the assault. “Howard, you must be mad! Why did you hit me?”

At that moment, Howard wished he could kill Draco. After Jordan and his people left, everyone in the Carter family panicked because they realized the severity of the situation. If it was not handled well and the Larson family was offended, the Carters could be destroyed at any moment!

They could not care about how Zayn had come to know the Larsons. All that mattered at that point was locating Zayn as fast as possible so he could call up Jordan and resolve the misunderstanding. Otherwise, the Carters would be doomed, judging

It was none other than Faye. 

Upon noticing her, Zayn’s body shuddered and he felt like crying. Bitterness and sadness welled up in his heart. He lowered his head to avoid her gaze and walked in a different direction to leave. 

“Zayn!”

Faye called out his name. 

His feet paused for a moment, but then he sped up his pace, not wanting to stay there. 

Seeing that he was leaving, Faye chased after him. 

Zayn heard her footsteps and walked even faster, eventually breaking into a run. 

Faye ran after him, but she was wearing high heels and could not catch up. She accidentally twisted her ankle, fell to the ground, and let out an agonizing scream. 

Instinctively, Zayn turned around and saw Faye on the floor, her face covered in tears. He had just managed to toughen up his mental state, but the sight of her undid all that. 

Faye sat on the ground and looked at him sorrowfully. He let out a sigh and chided himself for being useless. Then, he walked over and helped her take a seat on the bench at the side. Without a word, he massaged her injured ankle in silence. 

“I’m sorry, Zayn…” Faye said, feeling guilty and ashamed. 

Zayn did not respond. When he was done massaging Faye’s ankle, he stood up to depart again. The whole time, he did not look her in the eye. 

Noticing that he was going, Faye hastily grabbed his shirt and said in a pleading tone, “Don’t leave…”

“Aren’t you going to marry Ethan? Why are you still coming after me?” Zayn attempted to stabilize his voice and not reveal his feelings, but his speech was still trembling ever so slightly despite himself.

The marriage lasted four years, so how could he just let it end without feeling anything?

Faye said with reddened eyes, “I was wrong. Please forgive me this one time, okay?”

After hearing Faye’s tearful voice, Zayn’s heart immediately softened. 

Zayn was not a hard man. He could tell that Faye genuinely knew she had made a grievous mistake after seeing her beg him for forgiveness. The anger in his heart had gone as well. He nodded in reply, simply saying, “Hmm.”

Faye immediately beamed with joy. 

Back at the Carters, George and the other family members were waiting anxiously. They immediately approached Zayn upon noticing his return. They apologized to Zayn in succession and explained that the incident earlier was just a misunderstanding. They assured Zayn that they would never chase him away from then on. 

Zayn could see that they were rather sincere and since he was no longer angry, he told them that he had forgiven them. 

After getting Zayn’s forgiveness, George said impatiently, “Then, please call Jordan Larson quickly and tell him that it was just a misunderstanding!”

Zayn nodded and called up Adrian. Zayn resolved the issue with just a brief exchange of words and did not expose his identity. 

After hanging up the phone, everyone in the Carter family let out a breath of relief. George asked cautiously, “Oh Zayn, what is your relationship with the Larson family? Why didn’t you tell us about that in the past?”

Everyone held their breath and looked at Zayn anxiously in anticipation.

His shouting drew everyone’s attention, and they all turned to him at once. The four youths had also stopped stomping on the fruit. 

“Ma’am, are you hurt?” Zayn asked the elderly woman gently as he helped her to her feet. 

“I’m not hurt, but my fruit, oh my fruit…” Tears rolled down the old woman’s cheeks when she saw the scattered mess of fruit on the floor. 

Zayn was furious. He glared at the four young people coldly. “You’re all just kids, yet you’re bullying an old lady. What happened to your manners? Did nobody teach you?”

“Who the heck are you to be such a busybody?”

“Where did this piece of trash come from? I bet you’re trying to play the hero, right? I’ll give you three seconds to leave before I thrash you too!”

“Look at him dressed in his flea market attire. You can tell that he’s a pauper.”

“Get lost now if you don’t want to get beaten up.”

They called Zayn out by mocki
