By the time she wanted to retort, Arthur’s handsome face looked serious and turned dark immediately. “Nora, has your mouth been bitten by a poisonous snake? Have you been kissed by the most poisonous king cobra as all your words are tinged with poison!”
“Arthur!” Nora was furious.
“Nora, I can hear that clearly, but You are really good at framing people. I finally learn it now and I am now wondering if you have also framed Brian Hunter. And I think you are clearer than me whether the death of Eric has anything to do with Brian.” Arthur spoke in a cold voice.
Nora’s eyes visibly tightened and she stared at Arthur directly. “Arthur, who are you to tell me what to do here?”
Arthur laughed coldly again. “Nora, don’t you mean that I am someone with Leila? Isn’t this status enough?”
Arthur’s rebuttal made Nora stuck, not knowing what to say for a moment!
Arthur said again, “Nora, I respect you as an elder as you are Vincent’s mother but now that I’m here, please leave immediately as you are not welcome here! You can insult me but you can’t frame Leila. Let’s go and talk outside.”
Nora, who had probably never seen such a tone of voice from Arthur, immediately shook off his arm and sneered, “Why are you scared?”
“Aren’t you the one who is scared? Why don’t you dare to go out?” Arthur coldly hooked his lips and looked at Pippa again. “Pippa, is that fun to leave your son behind and rush to here without saying anything?”
Pippa’s face paled suddenly. “I… I…”
Leila didn’t expect Arthur arguing with Nora and Pippa in such a way that made both of them go speechless! By the time she saw both Nora and Pippa’s faces turned pale, her heart felt better and funny but she also felt sad for them deeply.
“Stop stammering, let’s go! I have already said that you are not welcome, so what are you still doing? Waiting for Brian to give you sweets?” Arthur began to speak again.
“Arthur, Leila, you all must have something!” Nora seemed a little annoyed, “Leila, how dare you betray my son! Divorce him immediately!”
As she was saying, an unusual aura came in from the doorway. Leila who sensed it immediately turned her sight to the doorway but no one was there. She didn’t know who was at the door but her instinct told her that it was Vincent.
Leila smiled coldly, “I have already sent the divorce agreement and I’m just waiting for him to sign it!”
“I will not divorce…” A cold voice resounded the ward.
Immediately afterwards, a tall, long figure appeared in front of everyone.
The air froze for a moment as if an appalling danger penetrated the entire ward.
Everyone was instantly shocked when they turned their eyes to the owner of the cold voice.
Vincent in his black suit which couldn’t hide his heroic posture was standing at the doorway and his eyes were cold and dark.
Gazing coldly at Nora and Pippa, his handsome features showed a domineering temperament that seemed giving others a sense of oppression!
His entire body emitted a kingly aura that could shake the whole world. And behind him, Mabel also walked in.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere for a while, especially when Vincent turned his eyes back to Leila the moment he saw Arthur, yet, there was pain in his eyes. He said in a deep voice slowly, “I said I won’t divorce Leila as she is my wife and no one can change this fact! Don’t let me see anyone hurt her. If so, destroy!”
Nora and Pippa froze and Nora started to get nervous. “Even against me?”
“Anyone!” The word was so cold that it made Nora’s face turn tragically pale.
Leila also froze on the spot especially when she saw Vincent’s cold and deep eyes. Her heart began to ache, was he becoming an enemy of his mother just for her sake? This was what she was afraid of and her heart ached for too.
Vincent’s handsome face turned gloomy with his two eyebrows furrowed together, only then he looked at Arthur and frowned, “Arthur, why have you come back?”
“I want to come back!” Arthur shrugged, “Brian needs to rest now. If you guys have something to say, you can go out and talk, don’t disturb the patient!”
Vincent’s eyes were even colder when he saw his mother and Pippa again. He came to visit Brian just now and was called by Mabel to say something around the corner but he didn’t expect his mother to come, and even Arthur and Leila were there too. Yet, the conversation between Arthur and his mother made him even more angry, he said angrily, “What are you guys doing here?”
Mabel met Nora’s gaze that made her stunned for an instant before she looked towards Brian who then reached out his hand. Mabel stopped looking at Nora but walking towards Brian’s sick bed, saying nothing and turned silent.
“Of course I’m here to see what happens to evil people!” Nora smiled softly and gave an even sharper glance when she saw Brian’s hands intertwined with Mabel’s.
Leila looked at Nora warily especially when she spoke, which really made others disgusted.
Pippa kept her head down and didn’t say anything.
“Mum, stop it! I say to stop it! Don’t you understand?” Walking in quickly, Vincent angrily grabbed Nora’s arm, pulled her and headed out.
“Let go!” Nora shouted. “How can it be so easy to just stop it! He has killed your father and you want me to stop it? There is no such a cheap thing in this world!”
Nora was furious and rebuked Vincent angrily, “You such a betrayer!”
“Mum!” Vincent spoke in a cold voice, glancing at the evil Nora in disgust and forcefully trying to take her away. “Go! Get out of here immediately!”
“Shut up! Do you treat me as your mother?” Nora huffed and pushed Vincent away, raising her angry face, ” I just come to see what happens to Brian, hahaha…”
Brian slowly closed his eyes as if to cover up some of his emotion.
In the end, Vincent still pulled Nora away and Pippa ran out too.
Meanwhile, Leila felt even more exhausted when she saw Nora who had been dragged out by Vincent.
The moment Vincent left, he gave Leila a deep look that was filled with pain but when Leila saw him looking at Arthur again, she could only sighed in her heart as she realized that Vincent seemed to have misunderstood something so, becoming unbearable for a moment, but after all, he didn’t say anything.
Arthur walked over to the bedside and looked at Brian, “Mr. Hunter, take care of your health. People like you who have gone through a lot of things should learn to take things easy, right?”
Arthur’s words made Brian open his eyes and look at him. His eyes showed a smile of appreciation and then he turned his eyes back to Leila as if asking her who this was.
Leila immediately introduced, “Dad, this is Arthur, my friend!”
Then another introduction was made for Mabel.
Mabel looked at Leila then turned her sight towards Arthur whose eyes were full of concern for Leila. He was really a good man.
Brian just looked at Leila and his eyes seemed to have thousands of words. Leila didn’t understand why her father was looking at her like that but the more he looked at her, the sadder she felt in her heart. She was unsure when she started to feel that her father’s eyes were filled with strong and deep paternal love as if he was putting all his hopes on her.
The White’s Group was once again covered by low pressure that almost depressed each and everyone as Vincent returned to the company with a gloomy and dark face, yet, a layer of desperate aura shrouded all over his body as if it was written on his head that no one was allowed to approach him.
Arthur came back to the hospital with Leila again.
Leila insisted on divorcing him in this way. Was Arthur trying to take advantage of this?
Vincent thought annoyingly that he had such a strong desire to possess a woman for the first time, hoping that she would smile at him and gently lean on his side and stay by his side for the rest of his life, but she insisted on leaving him!
It was clear that she loved him, damn it, he really didn’t know what to do about it! Especially after reading her diary, he found it was hard to let go of her, which was so different from his original intention.
This was not his usual style at all. Since when did women become the most important thing in his life, especially this woman who repeatedly trampled on his dignity.
She was his wife but she cruelly told him that she was ready to divorce. What was it that he could not let go of as she kept trampling on his feelings again and again?
Thinking of this, Vincent abruptly sank down his gaze. For the last time, he would never allow himself to have such unbridled feelings: to be happy and at the same time sad for a woman like this.
But when sitting at his desk, he looked at the piles of documents in front of him and raked his hair in annoyance. Only then, he understood the helplessness on his cold face but he simply could not erase her figure from his mind.
“Damn woman!” With a low growl, Vincent shook off his head, allowing himself to focus on the paperwork without thinking much about that woman who made him hate so much and like so much.
“Clara, Arthur is back, call him and ask him to come to the company to handle the stock market case!” Vincent pressed the phone and indifferently threw out the words before walking outside.
After receiving the phone call from Clara, Arthur immediately spoke to Brian, “Mr. Hunter, I will come to see you another day, get well soon! Also, Leila was like my sister, so don’t worry about her as I will take care of her!”
Leila was somewhat touched but she also heard that something was wrong with those words. He was taking care of herself? For a moment, something flashed through her mind but she shook it off again.
Leila sent Arthur off.
Walking to the elevator, by the time both of them waited for the lift, Leila didn’t say much but Arthur said, “Go back, your father needs more care in the next few days, don’t let that happen again!”
“Hum!” Nodding her head, Leila wanted to say something but stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Arthur saw she seemed to have something to say.
Leila thought twice before she finally spoke, “What are you doing back here this time?”
“Do you want to know the truth?” Arthur raised his eyebrows and his eyes looked at her deeply.
“Is there a lie?” Leila asked rhetorically.
