Chapter 87
Julie did not think that a simple business dinner with Zachary would result in a sudden encounter with Zam, who had barged into their VIP dining room
བཟ འརྗ
Zayn’s expression was storm. He stared at Julie before sneering quietly and saying in a mocking tone, “You sure aren’t picky with your food, Julie, Looks like you can stomach just about anything.”
Julie remained expressionless in the face of his mockery. She simply sat silently in her seat.
It was Amaya, sitting next to her, who could not bear to watch any longer and exclaimed angrily, “What does Jules‘ choice in food have to do with you? I’m afraid you may have forgotten, Mr. Peyton, that you two have broken up”
Zam gritted his teeth, his eyes glinting maliciously. “This is between me and Jules. What right do you have to judge the situation?
Amaya ignored his dark look and snapped back ruthlessly at him. “I’m poles best friend and confidante. What makes you think you’re qualified if I’m not?
Julie lightly bugged on her arm at that and admonished softly, “Alright, that’s mongh. He’s a psycho, so don’t antagonize him.
Amaya frowned in displeasure. “Are you afraid of him?
“That’s not it,” Julie said exasperatedly. “I just want to have dinner in peace.”
As she spoke, she looked up at Zayn and asked calmly, “Was there something you needed, Mr. Peyton?”
Zayn’s anger surged in the face of folie’s detachment and indifference.
But before he could say anything, Zachary, who had remained silent the entire time, spöke first
“We’re friends, Zayn, so don’t make things difficult between us.”
The word “friends” seemed to hit a sore spot for Zayn. He pursed his lips and chuckled soundlessly, but his laugh seemed to carry a hint of anger and ridicule.
“Friends?he echoed. “While I see you as a friend, Zachary, but you seem to be trying to steal what’s mine.”
Zachary stiffened
Before he could respond, Zayn’s mocking voice carried into his ears. “I’ve had my way with julle multiple times over. Don’t you find her disgusting? Do you really like lettovers so much?
Following his words, the temperature in the entire VIP room seemed to drop straight to freezing point
Julie clenched and unclenched the hand with which she was holding her fock. She admitted that she had stayed by Zayn’s side for so many years due to personal reasons.
However, over the course of the three years they had been together, she had never done anything that would cause her to feel guilty toward him. He had always come first in ber
heart
But now, Zayn was using such vilear and unpleasant words to humidiate and slander her
She had originally felt a little guilty for treating him as a substitute for someone else, but her last shred of remorse was now gone.
She struggled to calm herself down.
On the other hand, Amaya had a bad temper and was the first to snap.
“You call yourself a man, Zayn Peyton?” she yelled angrily.
As she spoke, she stood up, about to go beat Zayn up
Fortunately, Julie reacted quickly enough to restrain her.
“Alright, Maya Don’t be rash,” she said pacifyingly
Just as she managed to talk Amaya down, she heard a loud smack.
When she looked up, she saw that at some point, Zachary had stood up from his seat, kicked a chair aside, and swung his fistat Zayn
“It’s so fucking embarrassing to be your childhood friend, Zayn he shouted angrily, throwing another punch at Zayn. “How dare you slander a woman like that?
He kept cursing at Zayn as he punched him. “Julle doesn’t even want to speak with you anymore, and yet you still insist on approaching her and groveling for her attention! How shameless can you be?
“So what if I try to steal your partner? That’s on you for not knowing how to cherish her!”
When Zayn heard Zachary personally admit to attempting to court julie, he could no longer suppress the rage in his heart
He kicked Zachary in the gut, bellowing, “Who the hell do you think you are? As if you’re worthy of stealing my partner”
He then sat on top of Zachary, who had fallen to the floor, and punched him in the face. His eyes were red with anger
Soon, the two men were wrestling each other on the floor.
Julie wanted to break them apart, but she was stopped by Amaya.
“Let them fight,” said Amaya. “Zayn deserves it”
If not for the fact that julle was there, she would have wanted to step forward and give that scumbag Zayn a kick too.
