Chapter 4 New Home
- "This is our house, Zayne!" Zeno exclaimed when Zayne finally left the hospital.
- It felt so refreshing.
- Though called a house, it was a huge mansion! With a spacious yard, a large fountain in front of the mansion, and a beautiful flower garden in front of it.
- Despite its size, only three people lived there, along with twenty maids and butlers.
- “This big?” Zayne murmured, still in awe of what he saw.
- Everything was luxurious and extraordinary. He had never seen a house that big. Even Alvin’s house felt cramped in comparison.
- Zayne had once visited Alvin’s house during middle school. Alvin had invited him to show off that he was friends with one of the smart yet poor students at school, so his parents would think he was very generous.
- Zayne didn’t understand at the time; he thought he was just visiting a friend’s house like other children. He had once thought Alvin’s house was very large and luxurious, but now he knew he had only seen an ordinary house.
- Because his family’s mansion was many times larger and more luxurious. One of its rooms alone was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- “Yes, it’s big because the Veldro family wouldn’t have a small house. Let’s go see your room, Zayne! It’s over there!”
- Zeno was more enthusiastic about showing everything to Zayne. He pulled his twin brother’s arm toward the largest and most beautiful room there.
- “Wow! This room is huge! It might even be bigger than the Creze family’s house!” Zayne exclaimed.
- Zeno laughed, “What are you talking about? Their house might not be much better than our chicken coop. Oh, and we have a farm here too—laying hens, sheep, and dairy cows. There are also horses, but they’re kept separately. We can tour the house if you want!”
- Zayne’s eyes still scanned the room, unable to believe what he was seeing.
- All this luxury was now his? Unbelievable.
- “Zeno, you can’t go around with Zayne today because he has to go to school this morning. Unlike you, who graduated early, he still has to go to school for about two more months, right, Zayne?” Chris asked.
- Zeno turned to his father, then smiled widely and nodded, “That’s right, Dad! I have to go to school, and…”
- Zayne trailed off. His mind was already filled with how he could get back at his ex-girlfriend and former best friend.
- Zayne had to make them cry blood and regret what they had done to him.
- “Dad will take you, Zayne.” Chris said.
- Zayne nodded, then hugged his father. He loved hugging his father.
- He knew his father was very late to pick him up, but even his father had only found out about his situation about two months ago.
- “I’ll also be returning to the Creze family home, Dad. You don’t need to drive me; I have some important things there,” Zayne said after releasing his hug from his father.
- “Oh no, i won’t allow it. I'm afraid they’ll hit you again, Zayne.”
- Zayne laughed, then smiled faintly, “I’ll bring Andrew if you’re really worried.”
- “Oh, all right. But for now, quickly change your clothes and we’ll head to your school.” Chris said.
- “All the clothes you need are in that big closet, Zayne.” Zeno replied.
- By “big closet,” Zeno meant a walk-in closet, a 3×3-meter room inside the bedroom filled with various clothes, shoes, watch collections, and so on. Zeno had chosen everything based on his vision of Zayne. Fortunately, it matched Zayne’s clean, innocent, and adorable image. At least, that’s how Zeno saw Zayne.
- It’s unforgivable that people would intentionally hurt him just because Zayne is so kind and innocent.
- Don’t they have any conscience to hurt such an adorable creature like Zayne?
- Zeno will take good care of his twin brother from now on.

- “Where’s your ex-boyfriend, Nita?” Isn’t he coming in today?” asked one of Nita’s friends, giggling.
- They always joked like that, saying Zayne, the embarrassing one, wasn’t good enough for Nita. Sometimes they also mocked Nita for having a loser as her boyfriend. Now that Nita had successfully broken up and found a richer replacement, Alvin, they were back to gossiping.
- “How should I know! That loser probably killed himself because he didn’t have the courage to face me. He’s probably crying on the beach, hoping that a big wave will wash over him,” said Nita.
- One of her friends, who hadn’t laughed at Zayne at all, suddenly said, “You’re being too harsh, Nita. Cheating on Zayne and then saying such harsh words.”
- Nita smirked, “Why not? If you feel sorry for him, why don’t you just date him!” Hearing Nita’s words, the others burst into laughter.
- “Eww! No way would I date a poor loser! You know my standards are very high, like Xeon Raynold.”
- “Don’t even dream about it! Xeon is a prince far above you; you’re not even worthy of dreaming about him! Maybe only someone as beautiful as me is suitable for him.” Nita said.
- “You’re so greedy! You already have Alvin, but you’re still after Xeon!”
- “Hahaha! I’m just joking. I know Xeon is too good for me too.” Nita said.
- “Hey, what are they all gathered around?”
- The girls stopped gossiping and began approaching the commotion that had erupted that morning.
- “Goodness, it’s the latest luxury car model, priced at around 600,000$! How could such a luxurious car come to this school?”
- “Maybe it’s Xeon’s or Alvin’s car!”
- Nita became excited when they mentioned the name of her new boyfriend.
- Alvin had indeed said he would buy a new car because his old one was getting boring.
- Then, another car suddenly parked next to the luxury car. A much cheaper one.
- “Ugh, that ugly car is just blocking the view.”
- “Right, it’s ruining my view!”
- Then, the door of the luxurious car opened, and someone emerged from inside. At the same time, the cheaper car also opened, and someone got out of it.
- “That’s Zayne, right? What’s going on?”
- Whispers of excitement began to grow louder.
- Nita bit her lower lip, feeling worried about what she had just seen.
- “Hello, traitor,” Zayne greeted the owner of the ugly car next to his luxury car.
- Alvin, who was confused about why so many people were gathered around his car, was also surprised when Zayne emerged from the latest model of the luxury car, which was extremely difficult to obtain.
- Only VIP members could afford to buy that luxury car.
- But why did Zayne get out of the car?
- “You… hahaha, are you now working as a servant in a conglomerate’s house? This way, you’ve risen from being a loser to a loser working for a conglomerate, right? Congratulations, Zayne!”
