Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 167

Zayn went against Wilford Corporation to teach the Wilfords a lesson because of what Allie did, but more so, it was out of hatred for Liam. He could not stand Liam's repeated provocation and Liam treating Lindsey as his property. All of which provoked Zayn's wrath.

At this time, Lindsey even voluntarily went back to work at Wilford Corporation right after Liam left.

Lindsey was clueless that her decision had triggered Zayn so much. After work, she saw Zayn’s car parked at the Wilford office entrance and was a little shocked.

Allie had been going to and from work with Lindsey, and because the two of them were so close, the rumors going around the company about Lindsey and Liam became more rampant. Nonetheless, Lindsey did not pay much attention to this nonsense.

"Is that Zayn?" Allie also noticed the incredibly handsome side profile that was revealed behind the half-opened car window. "He came to pick you up?"

Lindsey was also a bit surprised. She then turned back to Allie with an apologetic smile. "You should go back first."

Allie smiled reluctantly and let go of her hand. "See you tomorrow then."

She turned around and walked towards her car, but she could not help but glance over before she got in. Lindsey had already walked to Zayn's car and Zayn got out to open the door for her. They had little communication as he pushed Lindsey inside, but his actions were gentle.

"Why are you here?" Lindsey sat in the car and asked in a warm voice.

There was a driver in front and the two of them were sitting side by side in the back. Zayn’s face did not look very pleasant.

"Why didn't you tell me you came here to work?"

Although Zayn was angry, he suppressed his anger in front of Lindsey.

Lindsey was also stunned, then said, "I’ve always been working at Wilford's."

"Why would Liam Wilford get you to be his Interim President?" Zayn asked directly.

Lindsey did not expect him to ask this and she could not possibly tell him the real reason. She hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and said, "Probably because he thinks that I’m pretty remarkable and was just right to fill this vacancy."

She wanted to make a joke, but as soon as she said this, Zayn was angered by such perfunctory words. "Why do you think Liam Wilford gave you such a big advantage and let you sit in such a high position?"

His words were so straightforward and rude that he was almost accusing Lindsey that she had something going on with Liam. Lindsey's eyes widened in disbelief. "Zayn Guggenheim! What do you mean by that?"

"Then tell me this. How did you become the Interim President of Wilford Corporation after disappearing for six months? How capable are you to make Liam Wilford appreciate you like this?" Zayn had an almost paranoid possessiveness towards Lindsey. As long as he thought of something happening beyond his control during the six months of Lindsey's disappearance, he could no longer calm down.

This was a hidden wound in Zayn's heart. Rather than saying he did not trust Lindsey, it was better to say that he was more insecure about himself. He went to great lengths to keep this woman by his side and wanted to cut off all factors that could affect their relationship.

Lindsey stared at Zayn and the deal she made with Liam suddenly resounded in her ears. She thought about the darkness she went through during those six months. The trauma of her heart did not heal as fast as her physical wounds. Anger and outrage surged in her chest.

The current Zayn in front of her and the cold Zayn from her memory gradually overlapped. Their brief period of peace ended here.

"Stop the car!" Lindsey shouted.

The driver looked puzzled but dared not disobey and stopped the car by the roadside. Lindsey then yelled, "Unlock the door!"

Zayn looked on without saying a word, but his body was emitting such cold vibes that it almost froze the air around them.

Lindsey pushed open the car door and was about to get out. She did not care that this was a crowded street. At that moment, the man behind her suddenly took her hand in his.

She flung his hand away and looked back at Zayn. Her voice sounded so disappointed and sharp enough to stab someone as she said, "What I do is none of your business."

Lindsey walked quickly with big strides. Zayn was also angry. Even though he knew that he should not let her get off the car like that, he still could not bring himself to take that step.
