Zayden smiled through his rage. “Alright, alright, nobody in the entire province dares to talk to me like that,” he said in a level tone.

“Zayden,” Dawson said, “Young people shouldn’t act so rashly. It’s the same anywhere you sit. Come here, sit beside me,” he added.

Although Zayden was extremely displeased, he could only suppress his anger since Dawson had told him off. Anyway, it was more embarrassing for him to stand there.

After taking his seat beside Dawson, Zayden raised his gaze and pinned it on Jasper.

“Given your arrogance, you must not be an ordinary person. How dare you talk to me like that? Tell me, which family are you from?” Zayden asked.

“The Laines,” Jasper replied curtly.

“The Laines?” Zayden pondered upon it. There were not any prestigious families called the Laines in the province. No one in the province would dare to talk against him like that. Was he from overseas?

“Don’t think about it anymore. My family isn’t prestigious or wealthy. We’re just an ordinary family,” Jasper said nonchalantly.

The expression on Zayden’s face changed immediately. “Are you making a fool of me?” he asked angrily.

“How am I making a fool of you?” Jasper questioned him.

Zayden glared at Jasper and sneered. “Don’t be too arrogant, you b*stard. It takes skills, not slick-talking, to make it in this society. If you act so rashly, be careful of not even knowing how you fell to your in the end.” He was seething in anger.

“Also, know your place and leave Wendy immediately. She’s not someone meant for a lowly b*stard like you. Why don’t you take a look at yourself instead?

“You should go and ask around, then you’ll know what kind of family the Hanks are in the province. You’re just a mere ant in front of me,” he added.

“That’s enough!” Wendy burst out suddenly.

Wendy looked at Zayden who had an overcast expression on his face. “You tricked my father into investing in the financial sector. Where did all the money go?” she questioned him at once.
Zayden remained impassive, but waves were crashing against his heart.

Zayden immediately suppressed his thoughts and said, “Wendy, you’ve misunderstood. What do you mean by ‘trick’?”

“Or do you think that it’s easy for someone to trick your father since he’s old now?”
