Stronger Every Time I Die
Zac was always considerate and well-behaved, always looking out for his family, and he was even closer to Raelynn than her own children. But daughters would eventually marry and leave, and Raelynn would have to rely on Zac. Thus, Raelynn was prepared to protect Zac at any cost, even if it meant hurting him. Arthur saw it clearly, his supposed "mother" was just another person looking out for her own interests. With a sarcastic look, Arthur shattered her illusion, "You blindly lie to protect Zac, but do you really think you can rely on him in the future? On an adopted son, to provide for your old age?" Raelynn's face turned pale at once! Zac not being her biological son was a thorn in her heart. No one had dared to bring it up before, and she could deceive herself, but now Arthur had said it outright, leaving Raelynn unable to respond immediately. Arthur glanced at the camera in his hand and told the others, "Moreover, everything recorded by this camera is on my phone. Even if you managed to take the camera, it would be useless." The Gray family members went quiet. John and Zac were furious, glaring daggers at Arthur, wishing they could devour him! They had been too hasty just now… It was embarrassingly disgraceful! The big screen was already connected, and the footage captured by the mini camera was playing. The camera had been activated since Arthur entered the venue, and soon, Zac and Arthur's conversation could be heard. The camera captured the entrance of the banquet hall. "Oh, Arthur, what are you doing here? Are you bringing clothes for Mr. Yoder to inspect? Give them to me, I'll take care of it." "No need. To avoid you doing something disgraceful again, I'll personally hand the clothes over to Mr. Yoder." After saying this, Arthur, holding the bag, walked past Zac and headed inside. At this point, the audience hadn’t noticed anything amiss and even felt that Zac was being kind, while Arthur seemed ungrateful and rude. That changed with Zac’s loud command, "Stop right there!" His shout startled everyone. "We are hosting a banquet today to meet the renowned chairman of Cloudia Corporation. You, a disowned wretch, don't deserve to be here!"A disowned wretch? That was Zac speaking to Arthur! People's perception of Zac began to shift. Zac struggled to move forward, trying to grab Arthur’s phone to stop the playback. But the man restraining him was incredibly strong, and despite all his effort, Zac couldn’t move him at all! Zac and John could only watch helplessly as the screen played out Zac's disgraceful behavior. Zac hung his head, not wanting to watch, but the men in black forcibly made him look. "Heh, not acting anymore?" Arthur’s tone suggested he was used to Zac's two-faced nature. Julie and Rosie were shocked. Zac was usually very friendly towards Arthur, even if he had made a mistake two years ago and had sincerely repented at home. How could he speak to Arthur like that? Even Susie was surprised. Soon after, Zac's cold voice came from the screen. "I don't know how you snuck in here, but this isn't your place! If you know what's good for you, leave now! Either hand over the clothes to me, or take your bag of rags and get out!" Hearing this, everyone gasped. Raelynn, Julie, and Rosie looked at Zac differently. He had always been portrayed as gentle and obedient at home; how could he say such things to Arthur? John was also shocked, but his eyes showed more hatred towards Arthur! Arthur, he’s useless himself, and now he’s ruining Zac too! John was both shocked and afraid, but fortunately, the chairman of Cloudia Corporation hadn’t arrived yet. If he had witnessed this, it could have jeopardized Zac’s future. Reassuring himself, John was determined to come up with a reason after the fact to turn the situation around. He couldn’t let this incident reach the ears of the chairman of Cloudia Corporation! Their companies had been in South City for many years but had never managed to expand beyond it. Cloudia Corporation was the only company that had made it into Evergrand City. Moreover, from what he had heard through the grapevine, Cloudia Corporation was planning to open a branch in the northern province too! This was a huge leap compared to the local enterprises of South City. If they could curry favor with the chairman of Cloudia Corporation, they might finally be able to break out of South City.
