Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 99

"You brat! You still know to come back?" The old man's loud and stern voice rang out along with the sound of his cane hitting the ground.

Zayn did a side step to avoid it and looked up again at the sky outside. It was not completely bright yet and it seemed that the old man had either just arrived not long ago or he had not slept all night and had been waiting for him.

"This is my home, so of course I’d know my way back," Zayn said nonchalantly.

"Look at all the sh*t you've done! You still dare to come back?!" The old man's voice had always overwhelmed Zayn’s in volume, but their intensity was comparable.

Zayn did not speak and lifted his eyes slightly to look at the old man. "I guess you didn’t come back because you were worried about my safety."

As expected, the old man immediately said, "Why should I worry about you? You bastard! Lindsey married into our family and how did you treat her, huh? You even forced the poor girl to commit suicide? Zayn Guggenheim, you really are something to use such dreadful means!"

The old man and a few old friends had met up to climb Mount Everest. Since he was old, he did not check on his phone much. He had been away for a few months and did not notice that his phone had been switched off. It was not until he was ready to come back and turned his phone back on that he found countless missed calls from Mrs. Wendy.

Since Mrs. Wendy could not get through to him, she sent him multiple messages. In short, she tried everything to get the old man back to speak for Lindsey.

When Zayn heard the old man saying that he forced Lindsey to commit suicide, his expression instantly turned solemn and cold.

The old man was not the slightest bit afraid of him and continued scolding Zayn. "I’m warning you! I genuinely like this child and think that she’s kind and simple-minded. She’s so much better than the wh*res you have out there! You can either stop fooling around or I’ll decide for you. You shouldn’t drag Lindsey on like this. I won’t force you both to be together anymore and you might as well just get divorced!"

Zayn sneered and said, "Whether we get divorced or not is between the two of us. Grandpa, there’s no need for you to interfere."

After he said that, Zayn strode upstairs. He knew that Lindsey was sleeping in their bedroom and was going to go to the guest room, but when he reached the door, he stopped and gently pushed the door open.

There was a small bulge on the bed. Zayn walked over quietly and saw the woman’s small face as he walked past.

Lindsey was probably not well-rested as her delicate eyebrows were frowning.

When Zayn saw her, the coldness and anger on his face instantly dissipated.

Why did so many people want them to get divorced?

Zayn did not think that he was wrong to treat Lindsey that way because she always ran from him no matter how well he treated her, so he simply locked her up.

Everyone thought that he was wrong though, so was he really at fault?

For the first time, President Guggenheim who was invincible in the business world felt self-doubt and self-denial in a relationship.

Lindsey felt that a large dog was biting her in her dream and she could not avoid it no matter what she did. In the end, she woke up in a daze only to find that it was dawn outside and fell asleep again in no time.

When she woke up again, she had no memory of the large dog in her dream.

Lindsey washed up and went downstairs to see Old Master Guggenheim sitting in the hall.

"Grandpa!" Lindsey ran down in surprise.

"The reason is that they didn’t know if they were meant for each other. That woman's purpose was very clear. All she wanted was money, but Zayn simply doesn’t know what his feelings were for that woman."

The old man kept addressing her as that woman, clearly showing his dislike for Jenny Lenig. Lindsey was clueless about what Jenny had done to provoke the old man in the first place.

"But Zayn, he...

"No matter what, she saved Zayn's life after all. Zayn seems like a cold person, but he’s actually very affectionate. Since only a few around him treat him sincerely, Zayn cares a lot about sincerity."

Grandpa Guggenheim put down the things in his hands and said to Lindsey in a serious tone, "Lindsey, it's all Grandpa's fault. Back then, when Zayn experienced all those things at a young age, he became distrustful and didn't know how to love others. That's why he misunderstood you and treated you like that.

"I thought that you two would be the best match for each other, but Zayn treated you that way and I feel especially guilty. If you feel that you really can't live with Zayn anymore, just tell Grandpa. I’ll immediately get him to sign the divorce papers and half of his assets will be yours. I absolutely won’t mistreat you."

The old man was so emotional that he shed a few tears.

When Lindsey heard him say that, her heart felt like it was being stabbed with a knife. The word “divorce” and the old man's tears made Lindsey feel more burdened. She subconsciously said, "Grandpa, I don’t want to divorce Zayn. I want to be with him."

After she said that, even Lindsey herself was stunned. She did not know whether it was because of Grandpa's coaxing or her innermost thoughts.

Hearing her say that, the old man’s face revealed a bright smile and did not look like the teary old man he was a second ago.

"Good, good! Then that’s settled. I’ll apologize on his behalf. Lindsey, let’s not stoop to his level."
