Ambition and obsession - Season 1 Episode 29

Surprised by Zachary’s presence, William dropped his jaw nervously. F&M Apparel was not only popular all over the world, but also dominated the local market. Anyone in the clothing industry could instantly recognize Zachary, the president of F&M Apparel. After all, the man’s face had always graced the cover of fashion magazines as the country’s fashion trendsetter. William hurriedly stood up from his seat and revealed an expression of humility. “I didn’t know you were here, President Yates.” Zachary coldly glanced at the Andersons. He stood outside and listened to their conversation, choosing not to get involved to avoid disturbing Nicole, only for the conversation to gradually become authoritarian. “My chief designer was being ridiculed right here, and if I pretended not to hear, outsiders would surely look down on F&M Apparel and its members.” His intonation, face, and aura were nothing but cold and belligerent. On the other hand, with Hayden resting in his arms, Nicole remained silent.

Panicked, William responded with a smile and folded his hands as he lowered his eyes. “It’s nothing like that. We are a family after all. The fight you heard earlier was simply a joke.” With such a powerful figure before them, the Andersons would not dare to oppose Zachary.

“Family?” Zachary’s voice rose as anger subtly surfaced in his eyes. Revealing a resentful smile, he looked at their disgusting faces and squinted his eyes, saying, “In the past five years, I didn’t even know Nicole had a family.”

Surprised by Zochory’s presence, Williom dropped his jaw nervously.

F&M Apporel was not only popular worldwide, but also dominated the local market. Anyone in the apparel industry could instantly recognize Zochory, the president of F&M Apporel. After all, the strength of the mon olwoys puts him on the cover of the fashion magazines as the trendsetter for the country’s fashion.

Hostilely, Williom jumped from his seat and revealed an expression of humility. “I didn’t know you were here, President Yotes.”

Zochory stonily gloried in the Andersons. He stoyed outside and overheord their conversotion, choosing not to get involved to ovoid troubling Nicole, only for the conversotion to groduolly grow overbeoring. “My chief designer wos being ridiculed right here, and if I pretended not to heor it, outsiders would surely look down on F&M Apporel and its members.” His intonation, his face, and his gold were nothing but cold and belligerent.

On the other hand, with Hoyden resting in her orms, Nicole remoined silent.

Ponicking, Williom responded with a smile where he crossed his honds as he lowered his eyes. “It’s nothing like thot. We’re the fomily, ofter oll. The quorrel you hear eorlier wos simply the joke.” With such a powerful figure before them, the Andersons wouldn’t dore to oppose Zochory.

“Fomily?” Zochory’s voice rose once more subtly appeared in his eyes. Reveoling the resentful grin, he stored ot their disgusting foces ond squinted his eyes, soying, “In the lost five years, I didn’t even know Nicole hod the fomily.”

With how Zachary was so protective of Nicole, William intuitively grew anxious, but at the same time, his greed intensified. Judging from Zachary’s words, it was obvious that Nicole was important to him. William thought that if he could draw Nicole back to the Anderson Family, they would be able to receive help from F&M Apparel. Easy-peasy.

Easy peasy.

With that, William quickly turned to Nicole as he took out a jade bracelet from his pocket, ingratiatingly stating, “Nicole, this belonged to your mother. Back then, our divorce was inevitable. It’s been so long, so can you please forgive me?”

Then, he revealed a face that evoked sympathy as his eyes glistened with mist, and when he looked at Nicole, he started to cry and played the emotion card. “I wanted to return this to you when your mother passed away, but I could never find it after so many years of searching,” he said so sincerely as he extended his slightly trembling and wrinkled hand, presenting the bracelet to Nicole.

Nicole passed the child in her arms to Zachary and grabbed the bracelet before studying it assiduously, only to discover that the bracelet did, in fact, belong to her mother. She pursed her lips without saying anything, thinking that this was what William was supposed to do, so she had no obligation to thank him. Consequently, she kept the bracelet. Although Hayden’s kidnapping was undoubtedly more than it seemed, she received I your mother’s will. As she looked at the Andersons before her, her heart finally wavered.

Looking apathetically at the three of them, she coldly uttered, “I will abandon the pursuit of your intentions this time. If this happens again, no matter what your reasons are, I will definitely get to the bottom of it!” Having said that, she gave Lydia and Queenie a piercing glare—developed over the time she spent in the business world—that left the two of them horrified.

Queenie forced herself to face her before turning to Zachary and remembered the partnership between Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel. Immediately, she put on a smile as she controlled her temper and replied with satisfaction, “What are you talking about, sis? Hayden is so adorable! Daddy and Mommy love him so much! They just wanted to see their grandson.”

Not wanting to prolong the pointless conversation, after verifying that the bracelet was real, Nicole tugged on Zachary’s sleeve and whispered, “Let’s go.”

Since she had found her son, she could finally calm her heart and body. Completely exhausted, she couldn’t wait to get home and sleep for a whole week. Zachary, on the other hand, cast a cold glance at the Andersons as he carried Hayden in his arms before following Nicole out of the residence. Glering epetheticelly et the three, she coldly uttered, “I’ll drop the pursuit of your intentions this time.

At once, she pleaded and grinned on her face as she held her temper gretifyingly replied, “What are you talking about, sis? Heyden’s so adorable! Mom loves him so much! They just went to see their grandson.”

Not wanting to prolong the useless conversation, after checking the spool of the brecelet, Nicole tugged on the corner of Zechery’s sleeve and whispered, “Let’s go.”

Since she had found her son, she could easily hold her heart and body down. Completely exhausted, she couldn’t wait to get home and sleep for a whole week.

Zechery, on the other hand, cast a cold glare at the Andersons as he held Heyden in his arms before following Nicole out of the residence.
