His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 369 - Wedding Gift (Two)

Chapter 369 - Wedding Gift (Two)

He didn't forget that they were closer to Hailee. They were wonderful friends for many years.

He knew he had nothing to get jealous of… But he couldn't suppress himself, not feeling so as he could see through the way they looked at his wife.

But he doesn't want to stir trouble and start a silent war against Hailee's friends, and so Vincent calmed himself and buried all unnecessary thoughts and worries inside his heart.

One more time, Vincent looked at the cheque neatly placed on the coffee table. The amount is insanely unbelievable.

But most of Hailee's friends, at the same time her knights, are wealthy, and many of them establish their own company and earn billions in the passing years.

It's not possible how they could gather this much.

"Alright, Mr. Wilson. I will accept this cheque as a wedding gift for Hailee. But I have one request from all of you."

"What is it, Mr. Shen?" asked someone standing at the door.

Both of them look at the door; Vincent and Geoffrey frown after they recognize who it is.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Anderson?" Vincent asked the guy who invited himself and sat on one of the empty couches.

He couldn't stop himself from shooting dark glares at Bryan when he acted arrogantly in front of him after everything that happened. May he didn't make a comment when Hailee let him stay in the company. He understands as Bryan is still a major investor of Davies Group and one of the main brains in planning to build Dream City.

He needs to know his own place.

"Mr. Anderson, isn't it rude to enter my office without permission? As you can see? I'm still in the middle of an important discussion with Mr. Wilson. Please, make an appointment first if you want to speak with the Chairwoman or me in the future. Please, keep in mind, I am not just the new CEO of Davies Corporation. I'm still holding a very important project, and so I will take office in this company."

Bryan pulled up the corner of his mouth at how Vincent Shen acted cocky.

Well, it was just yesterday when he almost became Jacob Davies' son-in-law, thought Bryan. Although he didn't come after in Hailee's wealth. He's willing to serve this family if it is his opportunity to be by the princess' side the rest of their lives.

However, he messed up. All his chances of making Hailee fall in love with him are gone, and he couldn't impose a right to snap at this guy.

"Mr. Shen, since I have the same business as Mr. Wilson, I invite myself to join your conversation," Bryan told Vincent, his gaze moving toward Geoffrey.

Geoffrey, who didn't like what Bryan did, gave him an unpleasant treatment.

"Since you still have a thick face and already made yourself welcome to sit cozily on that couch, how can we chase you out?"

Geoffrey's tone is full of sarcasm. Bryan knows well that until now, Geoffrey makes him an enemy.

"Come on, Geoffrey. We have the same intention as to why we are both seated in front of Mr. Shen."

Geoffrey hissed under his breath, listening to Bryan's sound righteous phrase. It may have the same goal, but their friendship can never return as before.

'I should compete with him! Maybe Hailee chose me instead. She would never be heartbroken if it were me!' Geoffrey thought.

Watching these two men in front of him, Vincent reaches his forehead and hurts a sigh from the deepest part of his chest.

'I need to end these two men's delusions! Do they think they could steal her from me?'

"Ahem!" Vincent coughs to get Geoffrey's and Bryan's attention. Both men threw dark glares at each other before they fixed their gaze toward him. "Alright. Since both of you were here, then it will save me time."

Vincent's gaze shifted between them as he spoke. He went on,

"For the sake of Hailee, I would not throw a fuss seeing you two close to my wife. I will try to understand that you love her. However, I want both of you to stop looking at her romantically. Accept the fact that she is my wife now, and you can't love her like a lover."

Listening to Vincent, both Bryan and Geoffrey clenched their jaw and gritted their teeth.

They have to admit that Vincent sees through them. It was true, and their feelings hadn't dissipated even the slightest.

"I couldn't be at ease with you all around when I know how you felt for my wife," Vincent added when both Geoffrey and Bryan didn't retort his statement. He knew he hit the spot.

The two men's silence means what he said is true.

At this moment, Vincent also made a self-reflection, and he put himself in these two men's shoes.

What if he met Hailee, but she was already married? What will he do?

It would break his heart, and he probably wouldn't move on until now. He is certain that he would look at Hailee romantically.

And so, he kept his cool and chose not to fuss too much over Hailee's knights.

In the next minute, the room filled with silence as neither of the three men spoke.

"Boss! I… Holy Shot!" Tim quickly stopped at his pace and returned to his track, then shut the door behind him.

'I'll be damn! The husband, ex-fiance, and secret admirer are too much for me to witness when they were in the same room! Thank god the psycho admirer is in prison now.' Tim mumbled in his head, ignoring the two women's presence behind him.

Tim remained frozen to his foot. Exactly when Tina and Laila came back from the pantry, and they had a mug of coffee in their hands.

"Mr. Cheng? What happened to you?" Tina asked Tim when he didn't make even a little motion but remained standing in front of the office door like he had just come out of hell.

Well, for Tim, he honestly just escaped from hell.. The moment he steps inside the room, his eyes meet the raging fire of three men looking at each other with scorn.
