'What a coincidence! I hadn't expected to meet people from the Xiao Clan again, ' Zachary thought. He had recently met a guy from the Xiao Clan, but he did not expect to meet the young master of the clan so soon after. He instantly knew he was in great trouble.

"Polly, why are you with this disgusting liar? Is he bothering you? I'll have someone send him away if you want," Anthony offered smugly. He fixed his eyes on Polly affectionately and then stared at Zachary with a scornful look.

Everyone around turned to look at Zachary. They all looked down upon him and thought that a pretty boy like him was pleasing to the eye but impractical. 'He is definitely good at deceiving beautiful women like Polly.

Compared to Anthony, he is a total scum.'

Anthony was the young master of the Xiao Clan, Zenith City's ruling family. He was a disciple of the Shura College, and everyone in Zenith City knew of him. Many vied for even a minute of his attention.

"He's not a liar. He's my friend," Polly said seriously.

"Your friend? Since when did you have such bad taste, Polly? How could you make friends with someone like him?" Anthony retorted.

"Anthony, please show some respect," Polly said as politely as she could manage.

"Oh, please. If I wasn't respecting him, he would've been thrown out by now. You're the only reason he's still standing here. Just deposit the money he owes to my account." Anthony smirked. He then turned to Zachary and said, "Get out."

"I want this guy out of the Phoenix House!" Anthony demanded and pointed at Zachary.

"Oh..." Riley Bai found herself in a dilemma. She meant it when she said she never turned away guests, but the Xiao Clan was a big client of the Phoenix House. She did not want to offend them.

Everyone was waiting for Riley Bai to oblige and kick Zachary out of the Phoenix House.

"Anthony Xiao, enough," Polly snapped. She knew that Anthony was making trouble for Zachary on purpose. If it were not for his prominent identity, she would have shut Anthony up in front of everyone.

"Just do as I say!" Anthony pushed. He did not care anymore if Polly got angry with him. He just made up his mind to humiliate Zachary. He would not let anyone who had embarrassed him get away with it.
