Chapter 300 Got Straight To The Point
lt;pgt;lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;"Eat on time from now on!" He added, "Eat on time if you don't want to get a stomach ache!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Leila's heart suddenly tightened, was he concerned about her?
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Sleep tight!" He said again.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;She was stunned for a moment and nodded. However, she didn't close her eyes, and in the darkness,
her big eyes flickered as she looked at him timidly.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Sleep now!" He said in a deep voice, closing his own eyes first.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Because of the pain in her stomach, Leila had tossed and turned for a while. She was now exhausted,
so she closed her eyes after him and fell asleep in his arms.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;If you looked closely over, at this moment, you would find that the two people lying on the luxurious
king-size bed were so well matched, their bodies were so well fitted, so dazzlingly beautiful.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Without knowing how long it had been, but when Leila woke up, the suite was still dark. She opened
her eyes, not responding for a moment. The person sleeping next to her moved, and she was awoken
with a start, opened her eyes wide, jerked her head up, and her lips, coincidentally, touched with
Vincent's.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Her body stiffened, and she felt Vincent open his mouth, like a beast that had been starving for days
and had suddenly spotted its prey. All at once he tightened his grip on Leila…
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;She was so exhausting!
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;This was because this passion lasted until the early hours. It wasn't until dawn that he finally released
his essence, then he tenderly hugged her again and continued to demand her body, not stopping to ask
her if it hurt!lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;It didn't hurt anymore!
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;She just felt uncomfortable all over, as if her bones were falling apart!
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;When he was finally satisfied, he let go of her. Almost at the same time, Leila fell asleep.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;As a result, when she woke up again, it was already twelve o'clock noon.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;As soon as she opened my eyes, she saw the sun blazing outside the window.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Ah-" She jolted awake and sat up, with her whole body aching.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;The room was no longer with the presence of Vincent; she didn't know where he had gone, but most
likely he had gone to the office.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Leila got up and felt something wrong with her hand. She brought her hand up to her eyes and saw that
the small wound on her palm had been replaced with an adhesive bandage, which was probably put on
by him while she was asleep again.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Her heart warmed up as she got up and got out of bed.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Her body was exhausted, but her heart felt warm and relaxed.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;When she went to the bathroom to take a shower and passed by the sofa, she saw breakfast on the
dining table, and last night's plates had been put away. She walked to the dining table, lowered her
head and found an A4 printout on the table. On it were some vigorous words written with the black pen:
Get up and have breakfast, I'm going to the office! Then the note ended with one letter, V!
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;There was only one letter 'V' and no name.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Leila looked at the note and felt even warmer inside. The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.
He was really attentive, and she clenched her hand, which had the adhesive bandage he'd put on it.lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;Vincent was still not a fickle man, he was just heartless to Macey. He was still the same Mr. White with
a bright smile, but when would his warm and bright smile return to his face again?
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;And what kind of feelings did she really have for Vincent?
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;She thought, 'Mr. White! When I gave myself to you last night, I didn't feel any regret!'
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;She only knew the true thoughts in her heart and she had no regrets about last night's intercourse at
all.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;It was just that she couldn't choose between her dad and him, even though she might be a pawn for
them. She wasn't in a position to choose anyone either, because her dad and Mr. White both treated
her as a pawn. Putting on a self-deprecating smile, Leila never knew she had such a role to play.
Thinking about it, the mood that had taken a long time to improve was low again.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;''Mr. White, although I don't know what you want or what your so-called irreconcilable hatred is, from
today on, I hope I can heal the wounds in your heart!'' She said silently in her heart.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;After taking a shower, she changed into another long dress. Thinking that she hadn't yet returned the
shirt to Arthur, she looked around for it; however, it was actually gone!
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Leila froze, could it be that he asked someone to throw it away?
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;***
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;She searched for a long time but still couldn't find the shirt.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;The shirt had been damaged by her when she was washing it, and now it was even lost. It seemed that
she really had to compensate the shirt to Arthur.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;At noon, Leila went home.lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;When she entered, Mabel was cleaning the living room, and she immediately smiled with joy as soon
as she saw Leila's return. "Leila, you're back? Why do you come back at noon? Where is Vincent?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Mom, is Dad home?" Leila glanced at the stairs.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Your dad just called and said he'll be back for lunch. What's wrong? Are you looking for your dad for
something?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Nothing, I just want to ask if he is home!" Leila shook her head.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"What happened to you yesterday? Did you and Vincent have a falling-out?" Mabel asked again when
she saw that Vincent didn't come with her.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Mom, how could I fight with Mr. White? We have a good relationship and he treats me very well. He
loves me very much and spoils me. Look at the dress I'm wearing, he bought it for me!" Leia said with a
smile, not wanting Mabel to worry about her. In front of Mabel, she always reported her good news but
not the bad.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"It's really beautiful!" Mabel smiled, but then got worried. "This dress must be very expensive, right?
Leila, although Vincent is one of the most powerful businessmen in F City, his money doesn't fall from
the sky, you still have to be frugal. It's not easy for a woman to be a good wife, you must be cautious
and careful! Don't let Vincent annoy you, and don't follow the example of women who are the big
spenders. You must do everything in moderation! Understand?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Mom! I got it!" Leila reached out and wrapped her arms around Mabel's neck. "I understand all that
you said, but what can I do with this dress? I can't return it, right?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Silly daughter, mommy is hoping that you will pay more attention in the future! A good woman has to
help her man keep his wealth, understand?" Mabel smiled with great satisfaction.lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;Leila could tell that Mabel was happy from the bottom of her heart. Mabel's thoughts were always so
simple, and she was always so easily satisfied. She was now living a happy life.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"I got it!" That was all she could do to comfort Mabel. She didn't want Mabel to worry about her
situation, but on second thought, she was still worried. As the two of them were talking, there was a
sound from the door.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"It must be your dad coming back!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Brian didn't seem to be surprised by Leila's arrival. When he entered through the door and saw Leila,
he handed his briefcase to Mabel. "Leila, you're here!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Yeah!" Leila took a deep breath. She had decided to ask for clarification. If she didn't, how could she
solve these things?
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Let's go to the study room. Mabel, make some of Leila's favorite food and we'll come out soon. I'm
going to talk to her about work for a while!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Okay! You guys go ahead!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;The study room.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Leila closed the door and turned to look at Brian, who was sitting behind the desk.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;He was already fifty years old, but looked unusually young and only had the appearance of being in his
forties. He was extremely well maintained, with no pot belly, a slender body, and a very elegant
appearance.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;This was the man that Mabel had loved all her life, and also her father. Mabel would rather be a
mistress for the rest of her life, just because of him!lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;"Just say what you want to ask!" Brian said.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Leila nodded. "What's going on between you and Mr. White?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"What could be going on between me and him?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Aren't you going to tell me?" Leila stared at him and simply got straight to the point. "Is it true that you
and he have an irreconcilable grudge?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"He told you so?" The expression on Brian's face was calm. "Since he has told you, why do you need
to ask me?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"He only said he had an irreconcilable grudge against you, but for what exactly? Did you kill his father?"
Leila really didn't want to think so, but Mr. White obviously wouldn't lie.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Do I look like a murderer?" Brian asked softly with calmness in his eyes, his eyes looking quietly into
Leila's. "You're my daughter, but you'd rather trust him than me?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Should I believe Dad?" Leila asked rhetorically.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"You've really been assimilated since you married Vincent, and you've become ruthless in your
speech!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Dad wants me to marry Mr. White and wants him to fall in love with me for your own sake, right? To
dissolve this hatred?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Sort of!" Brian smiled faintly. "Leila, Daddy just wants to tell you one thing today, Vincent's father is my
best brother and is indeed dead. If I were a murderer, I wouldn't be sitting here. Don't take some things
at face value, the truth lies at the bottom of the well!"lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;"You mean you didn't kill Mr. White's father, then why does he hate you so much?" Leila's tone was
harsh.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Is this the attitude you should speak to me with?" Brian said in an emphatic tone too.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"I want to know the truth!" Leila looked straight into Brian's eyes. "If you don't owe him anything, why do
you have to put up with him in silence? For Macey's video, you can simply call the police to arrest him,
and it's completely unnecessary for our family to be threatened, but you chose to be threatened
instead."
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"You also chose to be threatened, didn't you? Leila?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Leila jolted, and yes, she chose to be threatened without reporting it to the police.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"In what capacity do you think you are standing here talking to me and questioning me? You've fallen in
love with Vincent when he was still in love with Macey, and I just did a favor and let you marry him as
you wished, you should be grateful to me instead of questioning me here!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Buzz ——
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;For a moment, Leila froze. "You, how do you know about this?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;That was the secret she had been hiding for so long!
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"As I told you, you're my daughter and we share the same blood!" Brian crossed his arms and sat down
on the executive chair. "When your love is satisfied, you inevitably have to sacrifice Macey's love! She
is no longer qualified to continue with Vincent, I just let you stay with your beloved as you wish, am I
wrong to do so?"lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;Leila was really dumbfounded, she didn't think her crush on Mr. White would be discovered by Brian.
She thought no one would know because she hid it so deeply, she never dared to cross the line and
would only watch him secretly. She didn't expect that Brian would read her mind.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Does it have anything to do with the fact that there is hatred between you and him?" Leila calmed
down and continued the question she had just asked, she couldn't be diverted from the topic.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Don't try to ask anything, you'll be happy when you don't know the truth, but once you do, you'll suffer
for the rest of your life. And the truth is cruel, you may not be able to bear it!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Does this have anything to do with me?" Leila snorted coldly. "Dad, you're saying all this to cover up
your own guilt, you've been shirking your responsibilities, haven't you? Even if you weren't the one who
killed Mr. White's father, you should still have something to do with his death, right?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Are you so sure that his death has something to do with me?" Brian smiled coldly. "Then I'll tell you his
name! Eric White, your father-in-law's name!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Eric!" Leila repeated, frowning slightly, Mr. White's father was named Eric? This name was too familiar,
as if she had heard it somewhere!
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Yes, you just have to remember that I always do things with a clear conscience. I do feel guilty about
Vincent, but I didn't kill his father! That's what I'm going to tell you, and whether you believe it or not,
that's it!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"How can I trust you? You're the one who said personally that you are using me? You've chosen your
career between your family and your career, what do you expect me to say? Am I supposed to believe
you? You traded my marriage for a piece of evidence, what is that evidence?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"My official career is indeed more important than you, or even your mom. Compared to the official
career, our whole family is nothing, even if I sacrifice the whole Hunter family, I still have to preservelt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;this position, and this is what we owe to Eric!" Brian said in a deep voice, then stood up. "That's all I
should say, but as for the rest, it's up to you. If you don't want to acknowledge me as your father, then
don't, but for the sake of your happiness, you better make Vincent fall in love with you!"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Us?" Leila frowned.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"What do you mean by us?"
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Yes, you are included too!" Brian looked at Leila with an incomparably serious expression.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Leila froze, "What do you mean by including me? It seems to me that every word you say is an excuse
for yourself."
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"Whatever you think, I'm hungry and I want to eat!" Brian turned around and headed outside.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"I'll check it out!" Leila shouted hurriedly.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;"You'll know the truth sooner or later, take your time to find it out for yourself, just don't be too surprised
when you know the truth!" Brian said as he opened the door and walked out.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Leila couldn't understand exactly what Brian meant, and she was shocked that he actually knew that
she loved Mr. White. Taking a deep breath, she walked out as well.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;In the end, she still didn't stay for dinner and left the Hunter family.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Eric, this name kept flashing in her mind, over and over again!
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Then she turned and walked into a cybercafé. She just had an intuition that this name belonged to a
celebrity.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;When Leila searched the words "Eric" from the computer webpage, she was stunned!lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;Eric, who was born in X year X month, was the mayor of F City fifteen years ago, which was the
position Brian held now! One month after taking office, he committed suicide, and was only thirty-five
years old when he died. About Eric's death, the reason was still a mystery to this day, no one knew why
he committed suicide.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;This name, which she had seen on the back of an old photo at home, suddenly came to her mind when
she saw Eric's photo on the web page.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Technically, Mr. White didn't look like his dad, but probably more like his mom.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Eric was also very handsome, but his handsomeness was of a different type. His eyes seemed to carry
so much melancholy that Leila almost thought he had depression as soon as she saw his picture.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;He was dead by suicide? And the reason had remained a mystery to this day?!
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Yes, no one knew why he committed suicide. He had just taken office for a month and was at the height
of his career yet he committed suicide.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Leila couldn't understand, if it was a suicide, what did it have to do with Brian?
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Brian said their family owed Mr. White their current status. She just couldn't figure it out.
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;It turned out that Mr. White had lost his father fifteen years ago, yet what did he mean when he said he
had a fatherless childhood? Could it be because he had a father before he was ten years old but never
received his love and care, like she did?
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Feeling a pang of sadness, she closed the webpage and fell into a deep thought. Since he had
committed suicide, what was the reason for his suicide?
lt;/pgt;
lt;pgt;Although it was impossible to get any valid information on the web page, it let her know that Mr. White
was unfortunate. Her heart ached again at the thought that fifteen years ago, he was only in his teens.lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;p/gt;
lt;pgt;How could he bear the shock of losing his father? This was completely different from never knowing a
father. The most unfortunate thing in life is to lose a father as a teenager, but Mr. White…lt;/pgt;
lt;p/gt;
