Billionaire’s Reborn Baby Chapter 286


    “Hey, where are you?” Arabe asked.


    Guilty, Jaquan said, “At home. What’s wrong?”


    “Oh.” Arabe paused for a moment and smiled, “Nothing. I’m just asking.”


    “OK.” Jaquan answered, but he didn’t start another topic to smooth the way for a good chat. Neither of


    them spoke. The atmosphere was like this, filling them with awkwardness.


    “Go to bed early.” Jaquan said.


    “Alright, you too.” Arabe hung up.


    Jaquan exhaled a breath and switched off his phone. As he looked into the darkness before him, felt so


    calm. Staying in the car for a moment, he started the car and left.


    At the same time, Arabe stood in front of his house. After the call, she expressionlessly left the


    elevator.


    Behind the crescent-shaped door, Emma was cleaning up the fish after having her meal. Stony was


    dawdling and watching Emma scraping the fish scales.


    “What’s the matter?” Emma tilted her head to look at him and asked, “Are you not going to read your


    books?”


    Stony looked at her confusedly and asked, “Mom, why don’t you ask Mr. Jaquan to have dinner with


    us? We had a meal with Mr. Collin at homest time.”


    Emma didn’t stop scraping the scales, “No reason.”


    He thought for a moment and asked, “Are you still mad at him?”


    “…”


    “Mom, it’s obvious you don’t hate him anymore.” Stony muttered, “Obviously, you…”


    His voice was quiet that Emma did not hear what he said. She remembered the way Jaquan came in


    with the fish in his hand. Her indifferent eyes were lit up.


    “I don’t hate him.” Emma said softly.


    She never hated him.


    “Then why?” Stony asked in confusion.


    Yeah, why?


    Emma opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Only a faint and gentle smile touched her lips.

    Italy.


    Exhausted, Ethen entered the ward. Since Vincent was injured, he was supposed to handle the rest of


    the business. His business partner dropped dead. He had to exin it not only to the other Italian


    partners, but also to Caspar’s family.


    More importantly, he needed to convince Caspar’s family that the Scavos would not harbor a desire for


    revenge.


    Over all these years in Italy, Ethen knew what tricks these sophisticated people were ying. He led


    his men into the Caspar’s and warned, “If anything happens to Vincent, the entire family of Caspar’s


    will be doomed!”


    Caspar’s family members just got up with drowsy eyes. Surrounded by this group of people holding


    guns, they did not dare to refute it.


    The next second, Ethen threw Caspar’s body in front of everyone. Uninterested in the panicked,


    shocked, and miserable expressions of others, he turned around and left.


    He intimidated the whole family in this simple and brutal way.


    Bearing trade-offs in mind, Caspar’s family would choose to sacrifice a dead person, not fight against


    the enemy.


    Ethen knew it well. Of course, the real cause of Caspar’s death must remain a secret. After running


    around for more than four hours, he finally arrived at the hospital before dawn.


    Vincent was already moved from the operating room to the ward.


    Ethen entered and found a woman sitting on the edge of the bed. The beauty was Chinese with


    impressive features, having a sharp feel to them.


    “Is her Vincent’s girlfriend?” He turned to look at Rex and asked.


    Ethen was away from home for a long time, so he didn’t know much about Vincent’s rtionship. At


    this moment, he saw the beauty sitting beside Vincent’s bed and took her as Vincent’s girlfriend. He


    was surprised. After all, Vincent was single for many years, and didn’t seem to be interested in women


    at all. Although he had doubted that Vincent was gay, he never asked about it.


    The corner of Rex’s mouth twitched and Rex shook his head gently.


    Vincent was straight.


    Relieved, Ethen thought that it made sense and most women wouldn’t get Vincent’s attention, judging


    from Vincent’s poker face.


    Irene heard some noise and raised her head to look over.


    Ethen immediately grinned and said frivolously, “Hey, beauty.”


    “Hello.”


    Irene greeted him indifferently and went quiet. She just looked down at Vincent lying on the bed. He


    was shot in the chest and pale from blood loss, which made him look less sharp and indifferent but


    fragile. His thin lips were dry and chapped. She took a cotton swab and dipped it in water to wet them.


    Rex stepped forward to take the cotton swab. In fact, he snatched it from her. His sudden action took


    her by surprise. Then she heard him say, “He might not want to see you, when he wakes up.” He told


    her more than three times.


    Irene did not say anything.


    When the strange and pretty woman appeared and took away the gift that Emily wanted to give


    Vincent, Irene knew that she shouldn’t be so brazen and see Vincent again.


    But now, he was injured, lying motionlessly before her. She wanted to stay with him quietly.


    Even if he didn’t want to see her at all.


    Although Ethen wasn’t sure, he didn’t ask further. He just looked at Vincent and asked Rex, “What did


    the doctor say? When will he wake up?”


    How could anyone hurt Vincent? That was the question he wanted to ask.


    Ever since the riots ten years ago, Ethen had never seen Vincent injured again. Vincent was a cold-


    blooded, arrogant, and ruthless business genius. He was sharp-eyed and had good judgment about


    business. Besides, he was sensitive to risks.


    “The medicinal effect hasn’t dissipated yet, right? It will probably take more than half an hour.” Rex


    exined. Because Irene was here, he did not say much about Vincent’s injuries.


    Ethen suppressed his confusion and checked his watch. “I’ll take a nap in the next room. Call me when


    he wakes up.”


    Rex nodded.


    After Ethen left, Irene was still sitting on the edge of the bed.


    Rex didn’t drive her away, because the Scavos and the Potters were cooperating. He just put up with


    her.


    Not long after, Vincent opened his eyes. In that instant, he gave a sharp and murderous look. When he


    adapted to the light and saw Irene beside the bed, he narrowed his eyes to hide all the hostility.


    “Mr. Vincent, are you awake?” Rex has been guarding him. The moment he found Vincent awake, he


    asked, “Do you want some water?”


    Vincent frowned slightly as he put his hand on his chest. Then he gestured for Rex to help him sit up.


    Rex hurriedly adjusted the bed. Soon, the bed rose. Vincent tilted his head to look at Irene on the edge


    of the bed, and looked away, as if he did not see anything. Or he saw her but just took her as a


    decoration.


    Irene wished to get roasted rather than such humiliating indifference.


    She stood up and wanted to turn around and leave. But somehow, she remained still and said angrily,


    “Yes, I did it. I admit it. I was just jealous, but was there anything wrong with it? I love you. Am I wrong?


    You’re injured but where is she? Does she know? Even if she knows, what can she do for you? The


    Britt family is going bankrupt and will not be able to help you. You need me. Our marriage will do you


    more good than harm.”


    She grabbed Vincent’s hand excitedly. “You need me, Vincent. It’s fate for us to meet here. I never


    thought that I would meet you here. I decided to give up. It’s true. Can you try to like me? I can give you


    more than she can…”

    Vincent’s lip curled slightly and he looked up. He sneered coldly, “You’re nothing before her.”
