Chapter 102 Epiphany
“What do you think?” Tommy gave him a cold glance. “You should be glad that you escaped with your life
today. Quick, prepare some good wine and serve them yourself. But remember, the overlord doesn’t
want his identity to be revealed.”
“I understand, Mr. Lewis.”
Trembling in fear, Charlie went off to make the arrangements.
Meanwhile, when Jared and the others returned to the private room, everyone fell silent.
They had yet to recover from the shock that the man who had just apologized to them humbly was the
infamous Tommy.
Slap! Zayne suddenly gave himself a tight slap. When he felt the excruciating pain, he mumbled, “This is
real. It’s not a dream at all. How is this possible?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZayne still couldn’t believe what was happening.
As for everyone else, they were all equally puzzled.
“J-Jared, do you know Tommy?” Maria asked in disbelief.
Just a while ago, Jared didn’t seem to be afraid at all. Furthermore, he even beat up one of Tommy’s
men. In spite of that, Tommy wasn’t the least bit angry when he arrived.
Upon Maria’s question, everyone turned to look at Jared. If he really knew Tommy, they would definitely
be in hot soup. After all, they had been ridiculing him throughout the entire episode.
“I don’t.” Jared shook his head.
However, Maria was still baffled. “Since you don’t know him, why was he so courteous to us?”
“I know! It must be because he knows Mr. Carlson. Didn’t you see him help Mr. Carlson up just now?”
someone commented aloud.
“That’s right. He must definitely know him. In fact, I even saw him smiling at Mr. Carlson.”
Now that the matter was over, most of them wanted to help Zayne recover from the humiliation he had
suffered earlier. Or else, they would likely have a bad time back in the office.
“Zayne, what’s going on? Do you really know Tommy or not?” Maria was confused.
If he did know Tommy, he wouldn’t have dropped to his knees in fear early on. In fact, he wouldn’t have
peed his pants either. It was obvious that he wasn’t acting at all. But if he doesn’t know him, why did
Tommy help my family recover its debt? Moreover, Tommy did help Zayne up and apologized to him. So,
what’s really going on?
In truth, Maria wasn’t the only one confused. Everyone else shared her sentiment. The only reason they
gave Zayne credit was just to ingratiate themselves with him.
Faced with Maria’s question, Zayne pondered a while before replying, “To be honest, I have never met
Tommy before. But, I have a friend who says he is close to him and that they share a meal regularly.
Perhaps, my friend has mentioned my name or shown him a picture of me to him before. That’s why he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcould recognize me just now.”
At that moment, that was the only plausible reason he could come up with. Or else, there was just no
way he could explain why he peed his pants.
Upon his explanation, everyone suddenly understood what had happened.
Even though the episode was over, none of them were in the mood to continue partying. After all, their
pants were all stinking of pee.
Just when Zayne was about to leave with the rest, Charlie suddenly entered the room with his men.
At the sight of Charlie, Zayne’s face turned pale as everyone else recoiled in fear.
Sensing their panic, Charlie reassured them, “Everyone, I’m sorry about just now. It was my fault for not
clarifying the situation. Therefore, I would like to make it up to you with two bottles of Louis XIII. Please
enjoy them, and feel free to let me know if you need anything else.”
