Chapter 94 It''s an emergency!


    ALESSANDRO’S POV


    I arrived at my office after dropping Victoria off. I had just settled into my chair when my phone buzzed


    with a new text message.


    I looked down, and my lips formed a smile as I noticed it was from Victoria. Without dy, I unlocked


    my phone, entered the message section, and opened her text.


    ‘Did you reach the office yet? Just a little time after we parted, both the baby and I are already missing


    you.’


    Then she ended with a sad emoticon.


    ‘Yes, I reached just now. And don’t be sad, baby. We will be together soon after work, alright? Love you


    so much, my little heart.’


    Adding a love emoticon, I send it to her.


    Immediatelyter, another text popped up on the screen.


    ‘Okay darling, and remember to return the watch to its owner. Only then will I be rxed. And I love you


    too, Mr Devonte. See you soon.’


    I stared at her text and could only read the same line again and again.


    ‘remember to return the watch...’


    Victoria, how would I tell you that you have already returned the watch to its owner? And the owner is


    your husband only.


    I brought out the watch from my suit pocket and looked at it. I caressed the ss on top of it. It still


    remains the same, with a little scratch mark from the fire.


    A vintage watch that once belonged to my father. He gave it to me on my graduation day and said,


    ‘Son, this is just the start of your life. Don’t waste a single time here.’


    Then Mom and Dad died in an ident. And a few yearster, I lost it in a fire ident. I was so sad


    and regretful for a long time after losing that watch in the ident. This watch has always given me


    strength in bad times.


    I thought I would die that night, but just as all hope seemed lost, a young girl emerged like a guardian


    angel, rescuing me from the brink of demise.


    When I woke up from thea, I found Cami beside me. She imed she saved me and even


    med my ident for her ruined career.


    She fed us lies for over half a year, and we digested them. My family love her, especially Grandma.


    She even put a crown on her head and promised a dream wedding with me.


    I felt somewhatpelled to agree with the decision. At that time, I did not want to hurt Grandma. I


    even felt guilty hearing Cami lose her career because of me. So, I did not deny it.


    However, soon, I met a new assistant. Victoria ke. She caught my eyes at the very first nce I saw


    her.


    Her extraordinary academic results and visual presentation made me take her as my secretary, even


    though she was more qualified to be in other departments. Yet, I paid her a sry based on her talent.


    Before long, I discovered my fondness for her and became drawn to her. At this point, the idea of a


    marriagemitment between Cami and me began to trouble me.


    One day, we had to visit a hotel for one project, and that was where everything started between us. I


    didn’t know that we were drugged that night, but I was with her willingly. I wanted her before that.


    However, things changed the next day when people found us, and everyone med Victoria that she


    drugged me.


    I was insane and despaired at her deed and med her even without knowing the truth. Although she


    screamed her innocence repeatedly, I did not listen to her.


    I only believed the majority, forgetting that sometimes the minority ovees the majority. I


    suppressed my fondness for her and started despising her when she said she was pregnant.


    Instead of Cami, I got married to Victoria. At that time, Cami did well without knowing, and I must


    admit that.


    But, my stupid beliefs made me a viin and idiotic husband who was ridiculously irresponsible in the


    marriage. At the same time, Victoria tried to be the perfect wife, the perfect wife anyone could get. But


    soon after marriage, I got to know that she wasn’t pregnant...


    I rested against the chair, gently tapping my chin, realizing that neither Victoria nor I had ever revisited


    this topic in conversation.


    I did not ask her even after knowing she wasn’t the one who drugged me. Could it be that she lied to


    marry me?


    I frowned and shook my head.


    No matter how I thought of that event, I could not make myself believe that Victoria lied to me. It


    appears that everyone around me was deceitful, except for her!


    She is the one who remained honest and true to me. Then what is the real reason behind it? What if I


    am wrong and she did not lie? Could it be something else?


    What if...


    A thought crossed my mind as I sat straight on the chair and picked up my inte to call for Calvin.


    He just returned to America yesterday. I gave him a day off, and he would join the work from today.


    While I harbored doubts initially, he took it upon himself to investigate the matter, but as of now, no


    results have surfaced.


    Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Calvin walked inside.


    “Good Morning, boss. I was about toe and inform you about something.”


    I nodded. “Okay, but first tell me, how is the investigation going on, Calvin? I asked you to find out if


    Victoria was pregnant three years ago?’


    He lowered his head. “I am sorry, sir. I failed to find it out.”


    I stayed silent for some time. Even though I felt angry that he still couldn’t find it out, I could not me


    him.


    I witnessed how hard he had been working since the start and trying to cope with my every order, so I


    decided to calm down, inhibiting my anger.


    However, I did not convey sympathy but kept my face nk and gloomy. “Keep your investigation on,


    Calvin. I need the result soon.”


    He nodded slowly, “Yes, boss.”


    Then I changed the question. “What about the investigation about that night of my ident? You did


    not find anything, did you?”


    He kept his eyes lowered on the ground and shook his head. “No, sir. We couldn’t get any photos of


    that night. Everything has strangely disappeared, it seems.”


    “Is that so?” I asked absentmindedly.


    “Okay, leave this matter for now and concentrate on finding the truth about her pregnancy three years


    ago.”


    I avoided telling him I knew about that night four years ago. Victoria was the girl, and I couldn’t be


    happier about it!


    “And what about the callst night? What did you find out?” I asked this time as he finally looked up at


    me. His face turned serious, and his expression was a littleplicated to understand,


    “Boss, while staying in Paris, I was trying to find the connection between Miss White and DW Wine


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Corp, as you asked before, even after knowing that your elder brother is the owner. To my surprise, I


    discovered that the attorney who recently assisted Cami in her release from prison is from DW Wine


    Corp.”


    “What!? Say that again!?”


    I was utterly shocked, and my thoughts trembled at the sudden news.


    Calvin continued, “Yes, boss. I also found out that thiswyer is the chief legal adviser of DW Wine


    Corp. I have double-crossed the news, and it is the truth.”


    I stared at my assistant for some time, losing the thinking process. At this point, I felt a little numb all


    over my body.


    Dominic? But why would he do that? Why would he help Cami, who he has no connection with?


    Was he trying to get back to me? But for what? Was it because of Devontes’ wealth? He doesn’t have


    to do these sorts of things at all! He is my brother, and I will share the properties with him.


    It took me some time toe back to reality. “Calvin, don’t stop your investigation here. Please, keep


    digging deep. I want to know the real motives.”


    “Umm, Sir, just a thought. Wouldn’t talking to your brother directly about it be better?” He asked, and I


    immediately rejected the idea.


    “No, before asking him, I want to know the truth myself.”


    Given my current circumstances, I cannot ce trust in anyone. My experiences in the business world


    have instilled this lesson within me throughout the years. Moreover, I felt strange vibes from Dominic,


    and I need to find out using my ways.


    Calvin nodded his head, “Sure, boss. I will.”


    My cell phone started ringing as I was busily discussing the problems with my assistant. My gaze


    dropped to the phone on the desk, and it was one of the board of directors members.


    My brows knitted together as I received the call.


    “What is the matter, Mr Brown?” He is one of the oldest members of the Reywalt Corporation.


    “Oh, Mr Devonte, It’s an emergency! DW Wine Corp wants to buy the major shares of ourpany!”


    His excited voice rang in my ear, causing me to freeze in position...
