Chapter 328 Died Because of Me


    “No!” Vincent shook his head, “I didn’t know about that back then!”


    Le trembled, no wonder he smiled so brightly like that back then, “So you found outter, and didn’t


    really love my sister when you were dating her?”


    “Yes!”


    “Okay, I understand!” Le nodded and paused briefly. She then said coldly, “Can I get out of the car


    now?”


    Vincent tensed up and didn’t reply. After a brief pause, he opened the car door.


    Le felt uneasy and she grasped the hem of her skirt. She was speechless.


    “You can ask your father and he will admit to everything. Please ask him to allow me to have a proper


    brawl with him!” said Vincent coldly.


    Le closed her slightly opened mouth. Her sight blurred and she got out of the car.


    Vincent grabbed on to the steering wheel tightly. His wound reopened and Le saw blood seeping


    through his bandage the moment she closed the door. The car made a screeching noise and left


    abruptly. Le wanted to chase after it for a moment.


    But she couldn’t move, as if her legs turned into tree roots and had submerged into the ground.


    The car turned around a corner and vanished.


    At the Taekwondo gym.


    Le couldn’t calm down. She couldn’t remember the moves that Coach Koby taught her. As she was


    practising her kicks it was turning dark, she looked up unintentionally and suddenly saw Arthur standing


    in front of her. He had the white uniform on and had a ck belt. He looked valiant and Le was


    astonished, she said in a soft voice, “Arthur!”


    “You won’t aplish anything so half-heartedly!” said Arthur as heughed. He walked over to her


    and said, “Go home for today, you’re not in a good condition! I told Coach Koby to let you rest for the


    day!”


    A warm sensation engulfed Le and she felt like crying.


    He could always read her emotions.


    Arthur''s heart throbbed seeing her shock and hesitant look. She was in a daze and looked dejected, he


    felt sorry for her. He went up and gave her a hug, “Silly girl, everything’s going to be okay. I’m here for


    you!”


    She felt better after being hugged by him and her tears started to fall. She needed to vent and be


    comforted, she was grateful for his concern but she was also exhausted to no end at this point. She


    suddenly remembered what happenedst night and raised her head abruptly, “Nothing happened to


    youst night, right?”


    She was talking about his chin.


    She quickly rubbed away her tears, trying to hide her vulnerability.


    “Nope, I’m fine! But you don’t look fine!”


    “I’m fine!” Le shook her head. “I, I’ll be taking my leave!”


    She wanted to go to her father and find out the truth. But what if it was true that Vincent’s father killed


    himself because of her father’s intentional actions?


    “Yeah, go on. I’m not going to see you off to avoid rumours from brewing!” said Arthur as heughed.


    Le was grateful. She nodded her head and went to change.


    At the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of Municipal Government.


    Brian was about to leave after a meeting, and he saw Le.


    He paused briefly and stopped organizing the documents in his hands. He signalled Le to sit down,


    “Close the door!”

    Le bit her lips. She looked up after mustering a lot of courage and stared straight into Brian’s eyes,


    “Dad, did Vincent’s father really kill himself because of you?”


    Brian''s hands trembled and his eyes darkened. He looked at Le profoundly and his eyes were a


    bottomless pit. After a while, he nodded.


    “Yes, because of me!”


    “You really made Seth halted the documents that wereing from above?”


    “No!” Brian shook his head.


    “No?”


    “No.”


    “But Vincent said you did! You also admitted to the previous fault.”


    “He did kill himself because of me, but I didn’t halt the document. I am also still investigating into that


    matter,” said Brian as he grimaced. But he then smiled and said, “He finally told you!”


    “Dad, what’s going on? I need to know!” Le didn’t understand why could her father still smile after all


    that happened.


    “His father died because of me and that was the truth. Vincent hated me, and you should help me


    shoulder some responsibility as my daughter!”


    “That’s your mistake, not mine!” Le was agitated, “Why am I involved in you guys’ dispute? Dad, do


    you know that I’m suffering?”


    “I know!” Brian wasn’t making any excuse, “Do you wish to see me destroy Vincent then? You’re the


    only one that can mediate our conflict. Do you want to see the White Group perish, see Vincent fall and


    get sent to jail?”


    “Dad…” Le was dumbfounded.


    “This is your life! Do your best to mediate our conflict if you don’t want to see him fall!”


    “Dad, you are horrible!” Le growled, but she couldn’t do anything, “I am ashamed to have you as my


    father!”


    Brian was taken aback but he smiled, “You can leave if you don’t have other businesses with me.”


    Le didn’t think that Eric really died because of her father. He didn’t kill him directly but he made him


    killed himself because of his actions!


    So this was the grudge? And who was Seth? Who were the workers at that time? She had to find out


    what happened back then, she wanted to know the truth immediately but she couldn’t do anything right


    now. All she could do now was to graduate and defend her thesis properly. She wouldunch an


    investigation immediately after she got her graduation certificate.


    The grudge between Vincent and her and the grudge between her mother-inw and her. If that was


    the case, the knot between their rtionship would be there forever. Most importantly, he didn’t love


    her. A marriage without love was just a tragedy. Even if they were to get a divorce, she had to find out


    the truth.


    They hated her father and hated the whole Hunter family.


    The tragedy of a young man losing his father and a middle-age woman losing her husband. Le was


    really lost at this moment! What should she do?


    If she really got a divorce, would her father destroy the White Group and sent Vincent to jail? Her father


    wouldn’t sit back and take it if Vincent didn’t stop pushing it. And what was going to happen to her?


    She went back to the Pearl Community alone and didn’t want to see anyone right now. She just wanted


    to focus on defending her thesis. She didn’t know what to do next and she hoped to calm herself down.


    Her heart needed to calm down right now so that she could make the correct decision.


    But the days she spent waiting was long.


    3 days had passed, and Vincent didn’te to her even once.


    Both of them went on radio silence.


    She saw Theodore and he looked pale. He looked at her and there were no emotions in his eyes. He


    was indifferent. He was just giving the lecture and was exining how to defend a thesis for thest


    time like a robot.


    Le wasn’t concentrating. Her thesis was ready and she already thought about all possible questions.


    The only thing she could think about recently was about Eric. How could she find out everything about


    what happened back then?


    Theodore left quickly after ss. He didn’t bother Le, he didn’t say anything.


    Margot and co. were also quiet. They didn’t talk about the rumour surrounding Le. It was oddly quiet


    in the ssroom, the atmosphere was heavy and suffocating.


    Shortly before she left, Toby told her, “Le, Professor Hall had punished them. Don’t mind them!”


    “Oh!” Le was taken aback, “You are saying that the professor talked to them?”


    “Yeah!” Toby nodded, “Oh yeah, what are you nning to do after graduating? Are you going to work


    for the Overseas Chinese Affairs?”


    Le shook her head, “I don’t know, maybe. How about you?”


    “The Criminal Investigation Brigade!” Toby smiled. “But I have to take an exam first. I can only join if I


    pass!”


    “I wish you good luck!” Le smiled sincerely. Toby was a righteous man, he was suitable for the job.


    Suddenly, she thought about the incident concerning Eric and said, “Would you help me out in the


    future if I need some help regarding a criminal investigation?”


    “Of course!” answered Toby sincerely, “Le, we are friends forever! Just ask me!”


    “Thank you in advance!”


    In a café outside of P University.


    Theodore walked in, hisrge figure looked lonely. He walked in and looked around, he saw Macey


    sitting in the corner yonder. She was waving to him, “Theodore, here!”


    He pursed his lips and was letting out a cold aura. He walked over and sat opposite of her, “Long time


    no see, Macey Hunter!”


    “Don’t act like a stranger, just call me Macey. You’re back! How was life in Country Z?” said Macey as


    she smiled, she seemed excited. “You were back for quite some time now. What brings you to me all of


    a sudden?”


    “I have some questions, of course,” Theodore scoffed. He squinted his eyes and looked stern, “Macey,


    you are quite jealous of Le, aren’t you?”


    Macey was taken aback, her facial expression turned tense, “What do you mean?”


    Theodore inched closer to her and put both hands on the table, “You are jealous of Le and don’t want


    her to be happy. You made her roommates, Margot, Betsy, Agnes, your aplice, and hidden the


    letter I wrote to Le! Am I right?”


    “What are you saying? I don’t know anything!” Macey was shocked but she denied it immediately.


    “Theodore, what are you saying? I graduated after you left. I don’t know what are you talking about.”


    Theodore wasn’t getting angry, he was quietly admiring the changing expressions on Macey’s face.


    His eyes were piercing. Macey looked down to avoid his gaze. She picked up her coffee with her head


    hung low and took a sip, “Theodore, why would I do that?”


    “Out of jealousy! I said that you are jealous of Le!” Theodore stared at Macey for a bit. He suddenly


    reached across the table and grabbed her chin. He made her look up and made her looked into his


    eyes.


    “Are you still trying to deny it?” Theodore smirked.


    “Theodore…” Macey was stunned.


    “I didn’t think that it was you, Macey!” He withdrew his hand and scoffed. “Fate likes to mess with


    people, Le and I aren’t meant to be. But you, you pull all these stunts. Aren’t you afraid of karma?”


    Macey was taken aback, but then she started tough. She chuckled self-depreciatingly, “I’m not going


    to lie. Yes, it was me. I hid your letters! 99 of them!”


    “I was just waiting for you to say this, that was why I came here today. I will let bygones be bygones.


    But I will make you my enemy if I ever find out that you hurt Le again because of your jealousy. I will


    make you regret your actions!” he said in a wintry voice. He then stood up and walked away coldly.


    Macey stared at his back and there was a wave of unknown emotions in her eyes. She seemed


    pleased, yet at the same time anguished.


    Theodore ran into Le the moment he walked out of the café.


    She was standing outside the café for at least 5 minutes. She left the Uni and saw Theodore and her


    sister through the ss window of the café. Le immediately knew that he was talking to Macey about


    those letters.
