Chapter 539 The Best In The World


    Nina could only drink juice instead of wine.


    Leon was particrly gratified to have John as his brother-inw. John was so considerate.


    He looked at John, wondering if he had seeded in persuading Bruce.


    ''Forget it. They could solve their problem on their own.'' His own love life was in a mess.


    Two days ago, he visited the Feng family. Bryant told him that Valerie was having a hard time with


    that man.


    Back then, Valerie left Leon and eloped with that man with the Feng family''s help. Then, the family


    disowned her and didn''t help her anymore, afraid of offending Leon.


    Bryant was Valerie''s cousin whom she had the best rtionship with, and he said she was living a


    hard life.


    Although Leon was really worried about Valerie, he didn''t try to find out how she was doing. After all,


    he still had his own pride. It was Valerie who abandoned him.


    Still, he cared for her.


    With mixed feelings, Leon raised his ss and clinked it with Vicente''s. "I hope you can achieve


    your goal as soon as possible so that my sister can go home with John."


    Vicente couldn''t help but feel a little guilty and promised, "At the end of this year, I will divorce Nina."


    "At the end of the year? John, let''s propose a toast to Vicente. Finally, I''ll be free of this marriage in


    seven or eight months!" Nina was wild with joy.


    "Okay." John raised his ss.


    Vicente felt heartbroken. "I treasure you so much, and you''re telling me our marriage is a prison to


    you? Did I treat you bad? I''ve been protecting your children. I even brought you and John back


    together, and watched the two of you show off your love. This is what I got after what I''ve done?"


    Nina burst intoughter. "No, no, Vicente. You''re the third best person in the world."


    "The third best? How did I be the third best? Who is the best, then?" Vicente was so angry that


    her ears turned a bit red.


    John subconsciously straightened his back and was ready to receive the praise because he


    assumed Nina was going to say he was the best man in the world.


    However, Nina said, "My brother and John."


    She was smiling and John was speechless.


    He slipped and almost lost his bnce.


    He asked himself, ''Why did we finish in joint first ce? And why did she put me behind Leon?''


    He was not convinced.


    When Vicente saw the expression on John''s face, she felt much better. "It seems that John is not


    the only one. I won''t ask about the second ce. The second and the third ces are almost the


    same anyway."


    Noah only smiled and nced at Vicente.

    Vicente, who was sitting next to Noah, felt a little embarrassed when she heard Noah''s chuckle.


    "It''s not quite the same. They''re still different." Nina held John''s hand under the table. "When my


    brother finds someone he likes, he will be hers only. I won''t take him anymore and will dly


    give him to that lucky girl."


    Leon looked at his sister and chuckled. "Nini, you think too much."


    "Leon, you will meet a person someday and you will love each other very much." Nina''s eyes lit up.


    "I think my sister-inw is already on the way, waiting for you to find her."


    "Really?" Leon''s eyes twinkled. He felt a little bit of hope in his heart because of what Nina said.


    They enjoyed their meal. Although John was not convinced by what Nina said, he was still the


    happiest of all.


    He only needed to wait seven or eight months before Nina coulde back to him.


    They would be free to do anything without being sneaky anymore.


    Next morning, Nina set Demi free as promised.


    Still in a trance, Demi asked, "Why?"


    "Because Jett chose you over his business," Nina answered. Demi''s face changed and she showed


    a bitter smile.


    "But I''m just his mistress. Why would he do that?"


    Until this moment, Demi still chose to defend Jett. But the sadness in her words was so real that


    Nina could feel it, too.


    Nina felt a little ufortable when she heard this. She felt sorry for her. ''She was his wife, but


    ended up bing a mistress that everybody hates.''


    "Darleen, you can leave." Nina called her real name, and suddenly, there was dead silence in the


    basement.


    Demi''s face turned as pale as a ghost. She slowly raised her head and looked at Nina, with a


    murderous look in her eyes.


    "What do you mean?" she asked in a hoarse voice.


    Nina calmly looked into her eyes and said, "Your story was convincing, but something you said


    betrayed you. You said that you and Daisy were in the kitchen, but you know clearly what Darleen


    and Jett had talked in the bedroom."


    Demi''s heart jolted. She finally realized how Nina found out.


    "So you doubted it at that time, right?" she asked.


    "No. I distrusted you a long time ago, but I didn''t have proof. Then we found out that one was dead


    and one was injured in that explosion, and that your psychologist was actually a stic surgeon.


    That was when we were sure that you are Darleen." A shrewd look shed through Nina''s eyes.


    She revealed it so that Demi would tell Jett after she came back. She was warning Jett against


    making trouble for them again.


    Demi saw Nina''s shrewdness and mocked, "You are really good at scheming, digging out such a


    deep secret we had long since hidden."


    "I''m ttered. Now, leave. Jett is already waiting for you outside," Nina said as she smiled at her.


    Demi pursed her lips. Tears were swirling in her eyes, refusing to fall.


    She left with Nina. A ck car was parked at the gate of the castle, and the windows were tightly


    closed, so she couldn''t see anything.


    As they approached the car, the door opened slowly. Demi saw a man''s hand with a silver ring on


    his ring finger. It was a simple ring.


    More than six years ago, it was this ring that bound Darleen and Jett in marriage.


    A gentle smile appeared on Demi''s face. She walked briskly towards him, as if she had forgotten


    everything.


    When she was only a meter away from the car, a disheveled figure was reflected in the window.


    She looked haggard and she had lost an eye.


    Her smile faded away quickly like the tide, and she stopped walking. She stared at herself in the


    window and raised her hand to touch her eye which was covered with gauze.


    When they were together in the past, others would say that they were a perfect match.


    But now, she was half-blind.


    ''He deserves a better woman. Not me.''


    Demi lowered her head and sighed. She decided to walk away.


    Jett seemed to have guessed what she was going to do. He got out of the car without thinking too


    much, held Demi''s waist and pulled her into the car.


    The car door closed with a bang. Jett whispered to her, "I shouldn''t have listened to you. You asked


    me to marry that shrew woman. You reced Demi and worked undercover by Vicente''s side. If I


    hadn''t listened to you, so many things wouldn''t have happened. Do you know how miserable I am


    now? I lost to Vicente, you know?"


    Demi weakly nestled in his arms and struggled to get up. "I failed. Let me go." She attempted to get


    out.


    "No! No way!" Jett held her waist tightly to prevent her from moving.


    "I will cure your eye. No, it doesn''t matter if we can''t cure it. Besides, I will divorce Ruby. I can''t let


    you go."


    Tears welled up in Demi''s eyes. She stopped fighting, turned around and hugged him, choking with


    sobs.
