Chapter 397 What Happened In The Past (Part I)


    He opened his mouth to take it, but it caused Le to gasp. "Don''t do that!"


    Her little head buried deep into his chest, he said softly in a doting tone, "Baby, in this life I will not let


    you be aggrieved and hurt again. I love you ... love you ..."


    Apanied by whispers, his kisses fell on her forehead, between her eyebrows. He kissed her eyes,


    which were permeated with tears ...


    Le wrapped her arms around him and buried her little face in his bosom. She pressed against his


    chest as if this was the only way she could find peace.


    The sky began to turn blue.


    Vincent picked her up and walked toward the lounge inside the president''s room.


    "Vincent!" Le eximed in a low voice.


    "Silly girl, I''m just carrying you to rest. You sleep a little longer!" He said gently, then put her on the bed


    and kissed her on the forehead again, "Be good and stay with me at work. Something is wrong with the


    company. Only if you are here with me, I can have peace of mind!"


    What else could she say?


    Le nodded and grabbed his big hand with her small one. She said hurriedly, "Vincent, is it tricky?"


    "I''ll take care of it! Trust me!" Vincent said again in a deep voice.


    "Okay!"


    Vincent stood by the bed and looked down at her. His eyes were like zing, which reflected the light


    of love so brightly.


    In the White Group''s president''s office.


    Vincent was on the phone, "Charles, it''s me!"


    "Vincent, why are you looking for me?" Charles was a little surprised. "You want to fight, huh?"


    "You clean up the videos my mom has about me and Le immediately!" Ignoring his flirtation, Vincent


    said in a deep voice, "This is also a chance that I give you to make up for your mistakes!"


    "Why should I help you? I don''t want to make up for my mistakes!" Charles grunted. "It’s none of my


    business!"


    "I know she''s crazy, but are you crazy too?" Vincent frowned. "How many more people do you want to


    pay for this?"


    Charles was silent for a moment and said, "To tell you the truth, I decided to help you because of Le.


    Otherwise, I''d be fucking crazy to help you! It was Le, that stubborn girl who made me believe that


    there are still good girls in this world!"


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    "You''re not allowed to watch that video!"


    "If I don''t watch it, how will I know if it''s you and Le!"


    "You''ll find a way!" Vincent was absolutely not allowed to let any man see Le. Absolutely not.


    "Okay! I won''t look. I''m so afraid I can''t get it out of my eyes. I''m afraid of getting blind!" Charles hung


    up the phone.


    Vincent frowned and contemted for a moment. He looked towards the door of the lounge with soft


    eyes. Therey the woman he loved most. For her sake, he had to pull himself together and get rid of


    all the crises.


    He picked up the phone again and dialed another number. "Look into Macey''s whereabouts. Notify me


    immediately when you find her!"


    No matter what, Macey was in this situation because of him. It was true that she brought trouble to


    herself, but more so because of the feud between the White family and the Hunter family.


    Vincent knew that Le was worried about Macey, so he also wanted to share her burden. He''d better


    find Macey first, and then they could discuss itter.


    Arthur took Macey to the beach house. After taking a shower, Macey changed her clothes. Arthur


    prepared a T-shirt and denim. This time, Macey was not fussy but wore it obediently.


    Looking at Macey, who was refreshing, Arthur nodded and felt satisfied. "You look good, very innocent!"


    "Humph!" Maceyughed at herself. "You just don''t need to be sarcastic. Innocence is not a word that


    suits me anymore. It won''t suit me anymore in this life."


    "You sound like you''ve been disillusioned with the mortal world?" Arthur raised his eyebrows.


    "The mortal world? The mortal world!" Macey smiled gently and looked very forlorn. A touch of sadness


    crossed her eyes. "I''m looking for Vincent!"


    "It''s got nothing to do with him!" Arthur said. "It was his mother who did it. I advise you to just let it go.


    How about I send you out of the country?"


    "No!" Macey shook her head. "I can''t just leave like this!"


    "What do you want?"


    "They owe me justice!" Macey spoke in a low voice. She looked at Arthur and said with sincerity,


    "Arthur, thank you. Lend me some money and I''ll pay you backter!"


    "Money is not a problem, but I can''t let you out. Macey, why can''t you understand? The evils we bring


    on ourselves are the hardest to bear. It is their business what they have done. What you need to do


    now is to leave F City immediately and start a new life!"


    "Arthur, do I have a new life?" Macey asked.


    "You are responsible foring to this point!" Arthur sighed.


    If it was in the past, Macey would have immediately retorted him harshly. But this time, Macey nodded


    and admitted, "Yes! I am responsible. If I hadn''t been tricked by Charles, I wouldn''t have be what I


    am today! I was the one who kept gambling. I did it even though I knew it was wrong. I bring the evils


    on myself!"


    "I asked Le toe over. She''s worried about you!"


    "No!" Macey shook her head. "I won''t see her. Arthur, I won''t see her!"


    "Why?"


    "You don''t understand. You''ll never understand!" Macey shook her head in pain. She went to the floor-


    to-ceiling window and looked out at the sea. "I don''t want to see anyone in my family. I can''t help but be


    hysterical when I see them, and I''ll think of my mother''s sorrow and her aggravation."


    "But they all care about you!"


    "Arthur, you should know that Le is my half-sister. Her mother is my aunt. When I was a child, I


    admired my father very much and thought he was a great man, who was ambitious and motivated. No


    man in the world couldpare to my dad! He was a god in my heart. But when one day I heard my


    dad and mom arguing, my dream was shattered!"


    That day, she was going to buy her dad his favorite small steamed buns. So she purposely got up very


    early, opened the door of her room, and tiptoed out.


    It was too early. She was worried about waking up her mom and dad, so she was almost on tiptoe


    when she passed the door of her parent''s room.


    However, she had only just reached the door when her mother''s cry of sorrow came from inside the


    door. Her voice was so strange, so full of pain and struggle, that she immediately stood still.


    "Why?" Her mother seemed to cry out, "I have endured, and I have not said anything! Do you think I


    don''t know? For twenty years, what do you take me for? Do you think I don''t know whose daughter


    Le is? She is your illegitimate daughter, the child you and my sister had behind my back! Look! I


    knew it all, but I didn''t ask you. I''ve put up with everything. Why do you still want a divorce?"


    Macey''s head exploded. She waspletely stunned. Dad and Mom were getting a divorce? Was that


    possible? She stood frozen in the doorway of the room and did not move.


    Le was the illegitimate daughter of her dad and her aunt!


    "I''m sorry, April!" Brian''s voice was full of pain, and he seemed so struggling and mournful. "You also


    know that there are too many problems between you and me!"


    "What are you trying to say?" April raised her voice.


    "April, I admit, you are very beautiful and noble. You are like a goddess, a noble and cold goddess. You


    are independent and intellectual, but you can only be a noblewoman of the upper ss. I can never be


    close to you! I look at you every day and I feel like I''m seeing a goddess. Even having sex with you, I


    feel guilty. Sometimes I even wonder if I''m living with a human being or with a god!"


    "But Mabel is different. She is kind, gentle, and lovable. She is a living, breathing person who makes


    me feel alive. She would rather condemn herself to be a mistress forever than hurt you. April, I can''t


    afford to aggravate her anymore. She loves me with her life! I tell you frankly, I love her, a lot! I love her


    enough to stop being the mayor of F City. I just want to be with her!"


    "You''re in love with Mabel ! Oh ... for her, you would rather divorce me. We''ve been married for over


    twenty years and now you want to file for divorce? You don''t even consider Macey?"


    Divorce? Her aunt was his father’s mistress? Le was her real sister?


    Macey thought vaguely. She instantly felt like there were countless bombs going off, which shattered


    her world and her happiness!


    Her father was in love with another woman!


    She adored her father, who was the perfect man in her heart!


    But he was having an affair! And he had an affair so many years ago. Her heart was in turmoil. She felt


    shocked and pain. Some kind of grief and anger enveloped herpletely. She could not bear such a


    blow.


    "Macey''s grown up. She should ept this!" Her dad''s voice was as cold as it could be.


    "ept? Brian!" April yelled in grief and anger, "How can Macey ept the fact that you had an affair


    twenty years ago? The kindest and gentle aunt in her heart is her father’s mistress who destroyed her


    parents'' marriage? You don''t want to aggravate Mabel anymore, so you divorce me? You say I am


    noble, yet she is kind, gentle, and lovable. I''m just a piece of wood, aren''t I? I''m not as slutty as she is,


    am I?"


    "April, where''re your manners?" Brian shouted too. "How can you say something like that?"


    "Brian, you think I''m the one who wants to be a god, don''t you? You''re the one who told me you love


    me being noble. You loved the noble me! I didn''t expect that I had worked so hard with all my heart and


    soul to do what you wanted, but in the end, I still ended up being abandoned. Brian, I''m really wrong.


    I''ve been a failure in my life. You have made me taste failure, pain, sorrow, and despair!"


    "April-"


    "You shut up!" April roared. "Isn''t Mabel slutty? Can she seduce you if she''s not slutty? Would she not


    know that you are her brother-inw? You''ve been having an affair for so many years and going on


    dates in R City every week, you think I don''t know about it? You''re done being slutty and then you tell


    me that you''re going to divorce me? What makes me supposed to ept that?"


    "April!" Brian was also angry. "I forbid you to use such words about Mabel. She''s your sister, and you


    should know very well that she doesn''t want to hurt you. We just can''t help it!"


    "How dare you!" Aprilughed coldly. "Does a married man have the right to be in love with another


    woman? Do you have the right to leave ethics behind to have an affair? Brian, is this the right thing for


    you to do as the mayor of F City? Is this what a married man is supposed to do?"


    "April, I know I owe you, but there is no right or wrong in love. I don''t want to shirk my responsibility.


    Yes, I feel guilty about you. I feel like I can''t hold my head up in front of you. For a long time, I felt it was


    pressure. I don''t want to go back to our house, and I feel tired! Very tired! Yes, Mabel is not as beautiful


    as you, not as talented as you, and not as noble as you! However, she is tender ... Do you know that


    men need tender women? Not only do I need, but every man also needs! In many cases, men are like


    capricious children who need to be tolerated, admired, and relied upon ... I am in no way ming you,


    and I am not shirking my responsibilities. I''m just telling you the truth. The reason why Mabel was able


    to make me defy the odds was that she is stoic. She is very tender. You, on the other hand, have none


    of that!"
