Chapter 329 Is This A Dream?


    Looking at each other, Theodore''s throat tightened. He nodded slightly and brushed past Le.


    The moment he walked past, Le whispered, "Theodore, I''m sorry!"


    Theodore stiffened and smiled, "I''m the one who should say sorry! After reading the report of that day, I


    realized that you never loved me! Three years ago, the person you loved was Vincent, and three years


    later, it''s just as much him. Le, you must be happy!"


    He turned his back to her and said sincerely.


    "Thank you, Theodore, you too!"


    "Okay!"


    "Are we still friends?" She asked.


    "As long as you want to be, of course!"


    Macey also walked out of the café. She looked up to see the two back-to-back and smiled, "Le, your


    Theodore is back!"


    Le looked at Macey quietly and suddenly felt sad for her. "Sister, you haven''t been home for a long


    time! Come home tonight and we''ll talk!"


    "Sure!" Macey curled her lips, "You want to get even with me, don''t you? Fine, we''ll go home tonight


    and settle it clearly and inly!"


    At the Hunter family.


    It was rare for Macey toe back. And she went straight into Le''s room. "I hid those letters. If I''d


    known you''d end up marrying Vincent, I wouldn''t have done something like that."


    Le understood what she was saying and it just hurt a little inside. Facing her sister, she felt pain.


    "Sister, aren''t we the closest people in the world?"


    "We were!" Macey smiled coldly. "We were the closest people when I didn''t know you were Dad''s


    daughter. But when I learned that your mum stole my mum''s man and you stole my dad, we weren''t


    family, and we became enemies!"


    "But we have the same blood running through us!"


    "The fault lies in the fact that your mother was so disgraceful as to have to be with Dad, even if she


    was willing to be his mistress. I can''t stop hating you all when I think of what my mum has suffered!"


    "I''m sorry!" She really didn''t know what to say about this matter. "Sister, all I can say is that I''m sorry!"


    "Now our dad has long since fallen out of love with me. It was you, who stole the favor he gave me,


    and your mother stole my mother''s ce. My mother died for you!"


    Her heart ached even more!


    "I despise you and your mother!" Macey screamed shrilly, "You''re all moral hypocrites. I despise you.


    Le, I''m telling you, that time at the bar when you almost got raped, I got someone to do it. I just


    wanted someone to rape you so you''d know what real pain is. I want to see if Vincent will still want


    you!"


    "What?" Le froze in shock. "Sis?!"


    "Yes! It was me! Vincent suspected me, and it was me who did it! Unfortunately, you got away with it!"


    The door was suddenly opened. Mabel stood stunned in the doorway with her eyes wide open. She


    asked incredulously, "Macey, what did you say? What did you do to Le?"


    "Aunt, I said I got someone to rape Le, but unfortunately, it didn''t work. I didn''t expect to be caught up


    by Vincent. What a coincidence! I might do it again if I get the chance. You''d better be careful."


    "She''s your sister!" Mabel’s face suddenly turned pale.


    "My mother is your sister too, but you still dare to steal her man and take her ce. You''re going to pay


    for this!" Macey''s tone was so cold that it was like a knife plunging directly into Le and Mabel''s


    hearts.


    "Macey, how can you be so horrible? You''re not such a child! You were so kind!" Mabel couldn''t


    believe what Macey was saying even at this moment.


    "My kindness was extinguished by your own hands! Don''t mention kindness to me now! No one


    deserves to do that. I can be kind to everyone in the world, but not to you and Le. You owe it to me


    and my mother!"


    Le''s heart stung. Yes, what Macey said was true. They had robbed her of the happiness that


    belonged to her!


    Mabel stumbled, barely able to stand, and Le immediately stepped forward to help her mother.


    Tears welled up in Mabel''s eyes. Biting her lip and holding back, she said tearfully, "Macey, I''m sorry.


    It''s my fault. But don''t me Le! She had nothing to do with this. She is your sister. Is there anyone


    in this world but her who bleeds the same as you? You are siblings! How could you hurt each other!"


    "Auntie, that''s the kind of person I am. It''s a waste of time if I don''t take revenge! I''m sorry. I can''t really


    be generous enough to let you all go. Really! And I''ll still do things that go too far. There''s no telling.


    You all need to be careful!" Macey shrugged and headed out the door. As she walked, she said, "You


    guys can tell Dad that I threatened you, I''m not really afraid!"


    She had just reached the door when the man standing in the doorway gave Macey a sudden jolt.


    "Pah-" A crisp p sounded.


    Le and Mabel were both startled.


    "Dad-" Le whispered.


    "Brian--"


    Brian stood in the doorway with a cold face. It was he who raised his hand and gave Macey a p.


    "Bastard, are you even a human being?"

    "I''m not a human being? I''m not as inhuman as you are!" Macey was not the least bit afraid. She


    grunted coldly. "I''ve stayed in this home long enough. Give you back your happiness, and I''ll never


    come back!"


    With those words, Macey covered her face and stormed out the door.


    "Sis-" Le chased after her.


    "Stop, Le, don''t go after her!" Brian shouted and bellowed. "She''s not your sister. From now on, I


    don''t have her as my daughter!"


    "Brian ... it''s my fault ... it''s all my fault ..." Mabel almost choked with sobs.


    "It''s my fault!" Brian sighed and reached out to embrace her gently.


    Le''s heart ached even more than ever. What if that night, she had really been raped, what if Vincent


    hadn''t rushed there ... She really dared not imagine what would happen.


    She was her sister! How could she do such a thing? Her head hurt so much!


    It was nine o''clock in the evening when she returned to Pearl Community alone. As she opened the


    door, a smell of smoke came from the room. Le was jolted and turned on the light!


    Vincent was leaningzily on the sofa. He looked at her with deep dark eyes, and his gaze was sharp.


    He seemed surprised to see her walk in and close the door. Le was relieved toe in because his


    car wasn''t downstairs. She hadn''t sorted herself out and didn''t know how to face Vincent yet.


    "Come here!" Looking at her, he ordered.


    His voice was mellow and extremely maic as usual, but with a slight hint of coldness.


    Le''s small hand shook as she gripped the keys. She took a deep breath and stood by the door, not


    moving or speaking.


    "Haven''t you gotten over it?" He asked.


    She didn''t even know what to say.


    "Come here and sit by me!" He said again.


    After a moment, seeing no sneer in his eyes, she approached him slowly. She blinked in confusion and


    sat down opposite him. Then she noticed that his pure eyes were a little cold.


    Both of their eyes were cold. They just stared at each other for a long time.


    Finally, a long time passed.


    "Let''s go home?" He said in a low voice, while the look in his eyes was gentle, charming.


    Le blinked and gave a calm look at Vincent, who was a little different. His words "Let''s go home"


    made her heart tighten into a lump at that moment. She felt breathless, and her heart skipped a beat.


    She looked at him, wanting to ask something.


    "Am I still your pawn?"


    He was silent for a moment and then raised an eyebrow. "No!"


    "Then what am I?"


    "My woman!"


    She tilted her head suddenly, and tears slipped down her face! She had mixed feelings. Thinking about


    her father''s words, she felt particrly confused again. Finally, she said, "After my thesis defense, is


    that okay?"


    He froze for a moment and nodded. "Yes!"


    She was a little surprised and didn’t expect him to agree. At that moment, he stood up, "Keep the doors


    and windows closed at night. I''m leaving!"


    Her spine stiffened and she stood up with him. Again, she saw that he was not moving and stood in


    front of her. Le''s heart trembled and she looked up. His gaze was gentle butced with a hint of


    sadness. How could his gaze be so sad? But then he suddenly reached out and held her tightly in his


    arms.


    She struggled in fear, "Let go of me!"


    But he held her tighter and tighter, like he was afraid of losing her.


    "My mother is back in Japan!" He whispered in her ear.


    Le was suddenly relieved to find that her mother-inw had left.


    She was held tightly in his arms. But his always dominant embrace had a strange feel to it at this time,


    making her feel a little suffocated. This suffocation was not because of the inability to breathe, but


    because of the tenderness he had just shown and the tone of his voice when he said he wasing


    home.


    "From now on, when shees, you''ll stay here!" His voice grew lower and lower. He buried his head


    deep in the crook of her neck and smelled the pure scent of her body.


    She reached her hand out, wanting to wrap it around his broad back. But after her hand reached out,


    she dropped it again in dismay. She was afraid that once she had hugged him she wouldn''t be able to


    let him go!


    He finally let go of her, nted a soft kiss on her forehead, and said, "Good night!"


    And then, he was really gone!


    The m of the doornded on Le''s heart. It was as if she had had a gorgeous and so unreal dream.


    Was this a dream? It was as if she had stepped on a cloud, and on a feather.


    Le stood frozen in ce for a moment. Tears were spilling from her eyes, drop by drop, like pearls on


    a broken thread. Yet a corner of her heart warmed up.


    The night was slightly cool.


    Downstairs, the man stood in the shadows and took out the phone, "Ray, drive the car to the door!"


    He extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and nced back upstairs before turning and striding


    away.


    Dark and dreary night.


    At the HJ Hotel.


    Vincent went back to his suite at the HJ Hotel. He didn''t want to go home because it was too empty and


    he felt too tired.


    Just as he entered his suite, the phone in his pocket rang. His hand faltered slightly as the name of


    someone shed through his mind. Then he hurriedly reached out, took the phone out, and put it in


    front of his eyes.


    But the caller ID disyed on the screen slowed him down again. Pressing the answer button, he said


    in an emotionless tone, "Why are you calling me at this time?"


    "Are you free?" Pippa''s voice came on the other end of the line.


    "Uh ..."


    "I''m already at your door! Open the door!"


    He was slightly stunned. The phone was still on when there was a knock on the door. He opened the


    door and saw Pippa. Vincent raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You''re staying here today too?"


    "Yes!" Pippa gave a strange smile and walked in. She nced at Vincent, "Do you want to join me for a


    drink?"


    "You''re lonely?" Vincent took off his suit jacket. He was a little tired and rubbed his brow.


    "Do I onlye to you when I''m lonely?" Pippaughed softly, "Can''t Ie to you when I''m in a good


    mood?"
