“It’s none of your business!” Macey let go of Carson and left alone.
“Sister!” Leila ran after her.
Vincent showed a helpless expression behind her since Macey was his former lover. Anyway, he did not hope that she would turn out to be like this and he turned around to look at Carson.
“Mr White, so are Macey and your wife actually sisters?” Carson flattered and smiled, “Then, we are a family then!”
“What family?! Keep a distance away from her!” Vincent said when staring at Carson with his sharp eyes. “Carson, I advise that you should keep a distance away from her. You know she is the daughter of Brian Hunter. Girlfriend? Do you think that he would like to have a son-in-law that is similar to his age?”
“Ha! Mr White is so hilarious. Since Mr Hunter is willing to let his daughter do that kind of thing, perhaps he does not even care about his daughter. It is considered as not bad if I am willing to treat her as a girlfriend!”
“Stay away from her! Vincent squinted his eyes and showed a strict face. With a sense of threatening, he was like giving an order and Carson was stunned.
Vincent left hurriedly to chase after Leila.
Macey walked really fast and Leila was following her. “Sister, even if you do not return home, you also shouldn’t stay together with the old man. Do you want to ruin yourself?”
“Leila, don’t be so hypocritical! What I suffered today is given by Vincent! You are not a good person either!” She stared at her like a hedgehog and said, “Let me tell you! It’s both of you who let me suffer now!”
“Sister, do not blame others whenever you are in trouble!” Leila said this for the first time to Macey. “If you think that you are right, you are the one who got married to Vincent, not me, how embarrassed Vincent is when you produce such a video?”
“Tut-tut…” Macey said with a snigger, “Let me tell you, I wasn’t conscious when the video was filmed. Someone made me drunk and do you know that the person was Vincent! Vincent worked together with Charles. Do you know who the hell Charles is? He is the assistant of his mother! They planed to ruin me intentionally!”
“This...” Leila pursed her lips and was stunned, “Impossible!”
“The man in the video is Charles! I thought he loved me but actually not... haha... Everything is their conspiracy! Leila, you will not gain happiness as well! Since I am not blessed, so do you!”
“Do you mean that Mr White and his mother collaborated with Charles to film this video of you while you are drunk?” Leila could not believe the truth.
“This is my personal matter and I consider myself as unfortunate. Now, I like this lifestyle and I am going to play with all the men! Have fun with all the men!”
“Please tell me, is everything the conspiracy of Mr White?”
“Yes!” Macey nodded firmly and shook off Leila’s hand then walked towards the outside. “Don’t bother me!”
When Vincent approached her, she was stunned. If it was a conspiracy...
Then, Vincent was a scary person!
“Leila, she will not listen to your advice!” Vincent said to Leila with a deep tone.
“Mr White, please tell me. Is it you who made my sister drunk and filmed that video?” Leila stared at Vincent with her big eyes.
Vincent was slightly shocked and squinted his sharp eyes, “Did Macey tell you something about it?”
“Just let me know, are you the one?” Leila looked straight into his eyes.
“What do you think?” Vincent threw back the question.
“I don’t care! I just want to listen to your answer!” Leila pursed her lips and she hoped that he was not the one she was looking for. He was not that despicable.
However, Vincent only asked with his deep voice, “Leila, have you ever trusted me?”
“I just want a firm answer!” Leila was stubborn.
Vincent smiled vaguely and his facial expressions portrayed a sense of disappointment and upset. “Since you have already believed what Macey said, would you trust my words?”
“Why don’t you dare to admit?” Leila agreed that he was the one who did it.
Vincent looked at her for a few seconds then he said, “I have nothing to say!”
Leila was stunned because she could not believe what he just said. Did he admit? Seemingly not! But, her heart was already broken.
Vincent looked towards the outside and realized that the sky was starting to turn dark. The sky was bright just now but it was cloudy now as if it was going to rain.
He lowered his head to look at Leila who was gloomy and his facial expression was motionless. His face was indifferent as if he had no feelings and he did not say anything but just lowered his head.
At that moment, he was thinking that perhaps it needed a long time for them to build trust between them! She could not trust him. If she had lost confidence in him, why did he need to explain? It was clear that she would rather believe Macey instead of him.
Leila pursed her lips forcefully to the extent that the lips had turned white.
She was worried that his answer would upset her and afraid that she seemed meaningless to him. She did not want to become her mother who humbly loved a man but ended up being made use of by him.
“Don’t say anything. Let’s go back first.” Vincent carried her directly and ran towards the car. She was eventually a little girl who needed to depend on someone. Never mind, he would give her some time to digest what had happened!
Leila felt upset because she really hoped that the video of her sister was not a conspiracy and it had no relation with him.
The car was headed to the villa at a fast speed.
In ten minutes.
Vincent brought back Leila home and hugged her upstairs. “Eira, cook some ginger soup! Put as much as ginger as you can!”
“Yes sir!” Eira immediately prepared it after witnessing his hurry move.
“Stay on the bed and don’t move. Let me put some hot water for you to take a bath.” Vincent covered Leila tightly with a blanket and went to the bathroom. But, when he stood up, he noticed that she firmly held the corner of his shirt. Her facial expressions were so miserable as if she was an abandoned doll, making the others feel sad for her.
“Be obedient. We can talk later.” Vincent sighed and gently kissed Leila’s forehead. He comforted her to move away her hand and immediately headed towards the bathroom.
Leila silently looked at Vincent who was busy doing stuff. At that moment, he gave her a feeling that he cared about her and would not make use of her. Since he did not admit that it was a conspiracy, how could her sister’s words be right?
What if her sister was revealing the truth? She was afraid that her heart would be broken again and she was going to fall into a deep abyss.
After ten minutes, Vincent walked near the bed again and gave a warm smile to Leila who was distracted. His slender fingers were gently touching her cold cheek and he said, “Leila, go to take a shower now or else, you will be sick.”
“You are drenched too.” She focused her concentration on Vincent’s shirt which was dripping water too and said it silently.
“I am fine. You matter a lot since you just recovered. Take a shower quickly.” Vincent smiled and said it with a comforting tone.
At once, the room was completely silent and there was only wind blowing outside the house...
Vincent remained silent for a minute and looked at Leila without blinking his eyes.
In this minute, the answer was already meaningless, regardless of whether his reply was yes or no.
