Chapter 694 How Can I Make Her Fall For Me?

Day Seventy-Four…

~~*****~~

All eyes were directed on the stage. Everyone was anticipating Old Man Xu's response. Was he going to deny it? But Vincent's strong resemblance to Nathan could already tell the truth. Even without the DNA test, they could see the connection between the two.

Meanwhile, Old Man Xu shook his head vehemently. He darted his gaze back and forth between Nathan and Vincent. He didn't know what to say. He felt the pressure surrounding him. The heavy tension also affected his breathing. He felt suffocated.

Old Man Xu turned pale. He tried to open his mouth, however, no words came out. Afraid that his grandfather would suddenly collapse, Ethan ran to the stage to accompany Old Man Xu. He held his grandfather's hand, squeezing his palm gently to comfort him.

Nathan, on the other hand, also moved. He finally joined Vincent and Old Man Xu on the stage, taking his father's side.

"You are not invited here," Nathan coldly responded, facing Vincent. He spoke on behalf of his father. He could tell that Old Man Xu was so shocked that he couldn't even utter a word.

Vincent let out another sarcastic laugh. "Aren't you surprised? Do you think I'm lying?"

Vincent didn't expect that Nathan would remain composed. He expected him to be aggressive and violent after revealing the truth. He was even hoping that this guy would throw some punches on him.

"Blood-related or not… I can only say that you will never be part of this family… of our family…," Nathan declared to him. He even held Ethan's shoulder while staring at Vincent intently. It was his way of telling Vincent that Ethan would stay with him no matter what.

Vincent stepped forward, leaning closer to Nathan as he whispered, "I don't want to be acknowledged by this old man. I just want you to know that he is the reason why I'm going to take everything away from you… including your woman."

Nathan's patience snapped as soon as he heard Vincent's last remarks. He failed to control his rage the moment Jane's face flashed in his mind. Vincent's threat had something to do with her.

"Don't you ever dare lay a finger on her, I'll kill you myself!" Nathan grabbed Vincent by his collar, not minding the people watching them.

Vincent's lips curled up into a satisfied smile. He loved provoking Nathan. "You have nothing to worry about. I won't hurt her. Instead… I'll take good care of her… and dote on her like no other."

Nathan's eyes widened in disbelief. He really wanted to beat this guy. "She's mine. She will never be yours." His grip on Vincent's collar tightened further as he clenched his fists.

"How sure are you?" Vincent challenged him as he raised his eyebrow. "She is not a thing that you own. She's a person. She is not yours," he added.

"Aren't you afraid that she just wants to take revenge against you? You hurt her over and over again."

Nathan narrowed his eyes when he heard that. "How did you know that? Did you really plot everything together with Monica? Deceiving me using Monica was part of your grand scheme?"

This time Vincent didn't say a word. He just continued smirking as he tried to pull his hands away from his collar.

"Uncle Vincent, you should leave now." Ethan butted in. The tension grew heavier and he could tell that the guests were still all eyes on them.

Vincent shifted his gaze from Nathan to Ethan. "My son…"

"He is not your son. Stop feeding him with your lies!" Nathan stepped forward, shielding Ethan away from Vincent's line of sight.

"You already ruined our celebration. You should leave now… before I call the guards and kick you out of here." Nathan's voice was firm and cold, threatening Vincent.

Since he already achieved his goal, Vincent had no reason to stay longer. He cast one last look at Old Man Xu before he turned around to leave.

Old Man Xu stood frozen in his spot, his gaze following Vincent's movement until he vanished from his sight. 'Is he really that kid? My son?'

"You should take a seat. I'll take over." Nathan whispered to his father. The show must go on. He already expected that what happened here would be tomorrow's headline.

"We will talk after the event," Nathan softly mumbled, motioning for his son to guide Old Man Xu to their assigned table.

Old Man Xu and Ethan nodded and obeyed Nathan's instructions obediently. Nathan took cover of Old Man Xu as they continued the program.

Meanwhile, Jane followed Vincent to the parking area. She felt the need to confront him.

"Vincent!" Jane called his name.

He stopped midway when he recognized her voice. He turned to look at her.

"Jane…" Vincent didn't expect to see her. He thought she didn't come. She was not with Nathan a while ago. "What are you doing here?" His expression softened because of Jane's presence. 

When he faced Old Man Xu, his heart was filled with resentment and hatred. But now, he couldn't stop himself from smiling. It's been so long since the last time he interacted with Jane.

"I attended the event," Jane simply responded.

"Did you see me? Have you heard what I said a while ago?" Vincent asked her curiously. He wondered how Jane reacted when she heard that Nathan was his half-brother.

Jane nodded her head. "Yes. I've heard everything." 

Jane traced her steps toward Vincent who was standing next to his car. "I followed you here because… I want to ask you something."

Jane just learned Vincent's real motive for targeting Nathan. He wanted revenge because Nathan's father didn't acknowledge him. All of this rooted in his jealousy. He wanted to destroy Nathan and the Sparks Family.

"Why do you hate them so much?" Jane was testing Vincent, wondering if he would tell her the truth.

"Do you really want to know?" Vincent moved closer to her, placing his hand around her back. She could already smell his cologne. "Then come with me… I'll show you something."

Jane was taken aback for a moment. 'Is he serious? Is he really going to tell me?'

She hesitated for a moment. Nathan wouldn't be happy if she would leave together with Vincent. But she was curious. She needed to get close to Vincent and find his weakness.

"Jane?" Vincent was waiting for her response.

After careful consideration, Jane nodded her head. "Okay. I'll go with you."

Vincent's eyes lit up because of her response. He didn't waste his time as he opened the car door for her. Jane stepped inside the car while Vincent moved to the driver's side.

Jane was on high alert. She couldn't trust Vincent at all but she needed to gain his trust.

"What are you thinking? You keep glancing at me?" Vincent asked her, letting out a soft chuckle. He could feel her eyes staring at him while he was driving. He had to admit that his heart was fluttering because of her presence.

"Nothing," Jane simply replied before looking away.

Vincent just smiled as he glanced at her. He had just declared war against Nathan. And he swore to take everything away from him… including Jane. 

'How can I make her fall for me?' Vincent asked himself.
