"A moral person wouldn't take advantage of the kindness of others. I will keep the 'Goddess Metamorphosis' on top. While the 'Musician's Drum' underneath will be returned to you, Doctor Zane."At once, Doctor Zane was moved because the main value of a collection is its rarity.If Zayn had not pointed that out in front of him and greedily kept the painting, he would have unframed it and sold it layer by layer. He could even sell each layer at a high cost based on the visibility of the ink.However, if it were given to Doctor Zane, he would be the only person to own this painting. Its value would be doubled. The price would even be more than just millions. What they paid was not for the painting itself but its rarity.With a flushed face, Doctor Zane looked at Zayn. "Mr Hayes, how about I find you another painting with a higher value as your birthday present?""No, no need." Zayn waved his hand and said, "I have to go home to prepare medicine for my
Carly was annoyed at Anne's question. "It's still good that you two are considered because your parents are still helping in the kitchen. They don't even have the right to sit down. Besides, you can still sit because today is Grandpa's birthday party; everything will be fine as long as he's happy. You guys won't argue over seat placement, right?"At this time, Zayn finally realised he didn't see his in-laws as they were busy helping in the kitchen. Although the man didn't say anything, he glanced at Carly coldly with a smirk."Sitting anywhere? If that's the case, why isn't her family sitting here? Why doesn't Carly let the head of the Garcia and Sánchez families sit here, too?"After glancing at Anne, who remained silent, Zayn sighed slightly because he knew Anne was even more uncomfortable than he was. After all, Anne's grandfather arranged her here while her parents didn't even have a chance to sit down. It wasn't very pleasant for her to have been discriminated against by her rela
"I guess it's normal for an incompetent person like her to end up without a husband.""From what I've seen, Anne and her family shouldn't be part of the Wayne family, considering how incompetent they are."Everyone's ridicule felt like a million needles stuck in Anne's heart.Looking at Bruce with pleading eyes, Anne could only hope that her grandfather would say a few words to help them resolve the awkward situation.However, Bruce remained indifferent and acted as if he had nothing to do with what was happening while playing with the expensive ring on his finger. This attitude of her grandfather caused Anne's heart a lot of pain.At this moment, Zayn held Anne's hand, making her feel a sudden warmth in his palm.Under Anne's astonished gaze, Zayn stood up and said to the crowd, "I've also prepared a gift for you, Grandpa.""Haha. Then take it out and show us. It better not be something you got from a street vendor," Carly sneered.
Accompanied by the joyful exclamation of the greeter at the door, the guests' spirits were instantly ignited with excitement and surprise.Even some of the prestigious guests stood up at the same time, and everyone looked towards the hall entrance with excitement on their faces.Bruce was excitedly trembling as he felt his legs begin to weaken.At that moment, the heads of the Garcia Family and the Sánchez Family, Nero and Zeno, couldn't help but stare at Bruce jealously.Nero smiled wryly. "Doctor Zane has been coming to Racoon City to treat his special patients lately. I don't know how many high-ranking families have tried various ways to see Doctor Zane, but he refused them all."Zeno's eyes widened at that. "Mr Wayne, I didn't expect Doctor Zane to go to Racoon City to celebrate your birthday. Your connections are truly impressive."The capital's high-society families also know Doctor Zane as Raul Zane. He was an extremely talente
Then, Zayn shook his head helplessly before he pulled the still-dumbfounded Anne beside him and introduced her to Doctor Zane."This is Doctor Zane. I now call him Raul, buddy, mate; you can call him the same as me.""Buddy? Mate?" Anne mumbled unconsciously. When the woman regained consciousness, she felt her heart skip a beat. She did not dare to breathe."Isn't it too impolite to call the legendary person who compiled all the medical textbooks at top universities 'Doctor Zane?"Haha. Hello, mate." Even so, Doctor Zane saw nothing wrong with this nickname. The man smiled and took out a painting before handing it to Anne."Since you also called me your mate, I should give you a 'first time meeting' gift. I'll give you this ancient painting titled 'Musician's Drum'. I hope you and your husband have a happy marriage.""The ancient 'Musician's Drum' painting?""Huh."Everyone around them took a cold breath before someone exclaime
Doctor Zane slowly opened the 'Goddess Metamorphosis' painting in his hand before asking with a grim expression, "You think this is the fake painting Zayn threw at the door earlier?"Carly nodded quickly. "Yes. That's the painting. The head of the Sánchez family has stated that it's a fake."Doctor Zane looked at Zeno and asked, "Zeno, do you think this painting is a fake? What do you think it's based on?"Zeno was dumbfounded, and shame flashed across his face, "The original is with you. Isn't this a fake?""Look, Doctor Zane. Zayn is such a hypocrite. He even faked your collection. What a shameless prick." Carly thought this was the truth and became even more proud.However, when Doctor Zane saw the look of anticipation in Carly's eyes, Doctor Zane's face darkened, "This painting is the one I recommended to Mr Hayes as a birthday present. It looks like the liar you're referring to is me. Are you sure you want to call the police and arrest
This should have been a joyous scene at the Wayne family residence, but now it was sombre. The banquet ended unhappily. Bruce was lying on the bed with a pale face.Swoosh! Prang!The hand-decorated cup shattered into pieces after violently throwing it against the wall.Bruce cursed, "Damn you, Zayn. You are so shameless and have brutally oppressed others."Bryce hurriedly approached and replied, "Calm down, Dad. Don't get angry just because of that bastard, Zayn."Bruce was angry and took it out on his eldest son, Bryce."Loser. They're all losers. Would I still be upset if your family could be someone even stronger than Doctor Zane?"Bryce and Camila exchanged glances, where they saw helplessness and bitterness in each other's eyes. Had they known someone even greater than Doctor Zane, would Bruce dare to rebuke them?However, they never expected that Bruno's son-in-law, the third son, who they thought was trash and had no po
The woman involuntarily asked back, and in the middle of his words, she became agitated and shouted, "Zayn, can you tell me again?"Zayn repeated, "I paid back the wedding money I received after marrying into this family. Now, I want to divorce Anne.""Divorce?"Everyone there was silent. Jennifer and Bruno looked at Zayn in shock. They never thought that Zayn would say a sentence like divorce.According to their understanding, Zayn and Doctor Zane were already acquaintances. Now that their friendship was over, Zayn should have returned to the Wayne family, continuing to wash and cook while being a house husband once again.After all, Zayn had been away from them for some time, then back again. Zayn also needed Anne to pay for his mother's daily expenses.However, now Zayn wanted to divorce Anne. Although Anne had known about Zayn's plan for a long time, hearing it in person still made her uncomfortable."Have you decided?" Anne gentl
