His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 329 - Madam Hilda Shens Birthday Party (Nine)

Chapter 329 - Madam Hilda Shen's Birthday Party (Nine)

Hailee looked up at Vince. Their eyes meet and converse. Even though no words were coming out of their mouths, both understood what was on their mind.

Both were thinking about the possibilities if they accepted the request to be interviewed by Jessa. They have to reveal the complicated start of their relationship.

And these include the issues she has that start with Liam, which later on involves Bryan and Eva, which made them all connected, and they have no idea nor anticipated it.

If Liam did not use Eva to trick Bryan—Vincent should have divorced soon.

However, if Eva didn't trouble her that ended them breaking up apart, she should have married Bryan now—something at a point of no return if she meets Vincent and falls in love with him inside her marriage to another man.

That is why Hailee wants to think thoroughly about it first if it was a good idea to have this interview.

She needs to discuss this with her dad. Maybe with her knights as well, as she is opening more of her life to the world. Including Vince, who lived in silence all these years like her.

Vince could see Hailee having a deep thought, and he already guessed what was running through her mind.

He is also hesitant to approve of this interview because of what happens in his life.

May the marriage is only arranged, and he never lives with Eva. Still, he was legally married once, and he had a relationship with Hailee even before he got his divorce.

But the delay in his divorce is because of Liam, which is a sensitive part on Hailee's part.

But if it helps to clear both his and Hailee's name, they have to reveal it to the world.

Of course, he will not let Hailee's name get stained because of his first marriage, and they have an affair.

Although his mom came up with the idea to marry him off, his marriage has only become an agreement between him and Eva to shut up the people who question his sexual orientation and calm down his mom, who is constantly throwing a fret because of this news.

Hailee, on the other hand, already had some things playing on her mind. People would question Vincent's arranged marriage, but she had a relationship with him.

Although they already met in the past and Vince had fallen in love with her since then…

She had a purpose why she came to get closer to Vince, and it happens, he was Eva's nominal husband.

All she wanted was to offer him a project. She did not know the architect she was looking for, and Eva's husband, who she wanted to milk money for, was the same person.

It was a sensitive matter to her because she isn't used to destroying someone's name like doing a revelation in public. However, she knows she can not avoid this if they want the truth to be revealed.

Well, everything will be alright in the interview if they thoroughly plan out what things they will reveal to the world, especially in Liam's case.

It was something she didn't want to remember, but she could not hide from it forever and could move forward if she would hide it for the rest of her life.

Liam killed many people because of her, and apologizing to their family is not enough. Either way, she knew that a large amount of money and all support she could offer would never bring back the dead.

But she's hoping that in these genuine gestures, her knights who died for her will be in peace.

Hailey heaves a long sigh, recalling the past. For a moment, her heart tightened with pain, and this must be her emotion that got triggered because of what was running in her head.

Liam killed some of her knights, protecting her from Liam. Also, a few of her business partners who showed an interest in her were killed by Liam.

It happens, even though she already rejected them. They were still persistent in courting her, and then it ended up with them buried in the grave.

Hailee shook her head. It was a crucial matter she needed to talk about with Shun, as it is a serious issue that her dad tried to hide and cover up everything.

But there is a possibility that Shun is also behind in this interview. Then Shun prepared to face the consequences.

Besides, Liam Huo was already convicted, and his cousin Calvin Huo and all associated with these cousins create trouble for her and her loved ones.

Maybe after the interview, she can finally have complete peace of mind, and the weight on her shoulders lifts, and she finally would have a clear conscience.

Hailee was lost in her train of thoughts; she didn't notice Vince's worried look.

Vince massages Hailee's shoulders as his way to convey his message of reminding her to calm down and put aside whatever on her mind that causes her sadness.

They need not hurry to be interviewed, especially with the condition she has now, and it will only make him worry all the time.

Hailee was pulled back to her senses after Vince gently pressed the muscles on her shoulders. She looked up and smiled at Vince, and she reached for her right hand and rested her head.

Later on, she continued eating her desserts while Vince and Tyler discussed something while Aunt Sol went to the restroom with her private nurse.

"Hey, Vincent!"

Vincent and Tyler turned their heads to the man walking toward them.

"Rodney… What's up?"

"Bro, your father-in-law wants you over there…." Rodney tilted his head in the direction where Fred and Zaijan talked with a few of their international investors.

His father-in-law was standing between his dad and cousin. Vincent scrutinized the older men. At first look, he could tell that these men came up with a partnership, and they wanted to involve his father-in-law.

May they were their biggest business partners for a long time already, but he doesn't want to be careless to use the Davies Corporation's influences with others' interests. It's something he has to watch out for in the near future.

Vincent lowered his gaze, and it was also the time Hailee looked up at him.

"Go ahead. I will continue chatting with Aunt Sol," she said with complete understanding.

It cannot help that it was supposed to be a bonding night for his family and friends.

However, people like them who wake up and sleep with the mindset of making business the next day could not stop themselves from discussing partnership tonight.

Vincent stared at Hailee's delicate face for a long time before he nodded. "Okay. But if you felt uncomfortable or getting tired, and do you need anything, call me right away."

Hailee could not stop admiring her husband. Every day and even at night, he never fails to show how thoughtful he is toward her and how he worries for her every time.

"I will... Don't worry," she told Vince to reassure him. She reached for his hands to feel the warmth from them, and Vincent immediately held her hands tight. Squeezing them, then kisses the back of her palms.

Tyler and Rodney look at each other. They shook their heads and rolled their eyes, murmuring inwardly, 'Showing off!'

Anyway, they have also witnessed how Vincent never had a love life before. And after he felt love at first sight toward Hailee, his heart has only been beating for her since then.

He looked at no other woman but only at a mystery girl's picture saved on his phone.

That is why they understood their cousin was head over heels after this girl appeared in front of Vincent.

Tyler and Rodney could still remember Vincent's reaction when he saw a woman who looked like the girl on his phone.

Without saying a word, he just left them like they did not exist at that moment. Then, news reached them that Vincent went to the Security Room to look for this girl and monitor where she went.

And once he found her, he trapped himself inside the elevator with her.

During that time, Tyler and Rodney rush to the Security Room to watch the surveillance video footage in the elevator.

Upon recalling what happened back then, both conceal not to grin in front of these lovers.

They used to think it was impossible to find true love.

But witnessing someone have a fate like their cousin, they cannot help wishing that there is a right girl for them as well…
