A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 245

Thinking about her previous life, Leila's eyes still couldn't help but dim. Yes, she had actually been an illegitimate daughter, and even though she knew that her biological father was Brian, all the outsiders knew that she was the illegitimate daughter of an unknown father. Because of the death of Brian's wife, her mom, who had been Brian's underground lover for many years, finally had the opportunity to become his official wife, and she finally had the honor of being Brian's daughter.

However, she was always Brian's daughter! Although she was an illegitimate daughter, the illegitimate daughter was also his daughter!

But who made her mom fall in love with Brian, who was actually her brother-in-law? Her mom stole Mrs. Hunter's husband, and Mrs. Hunter even sacrificed her life to save her. Therefore, she owed Mrs. Hunter this life, and all she could do was to help Mrs. Hunter guard Macey.

"Little liar!" Vincent snorted coldly.

Leila lowered her head to hide her loss of coolness, tears welling up in her eyes. Yes, if she said she had never blamed her father, how was that possible? And he, on the other hand, could see through her mind so easily.

The atmosphere of the dinner became a little different and no one spoke anymore.

Later, Vincent received a phone call. When he looked at the caller ID, his face clouded over and asked in a deep voice, "What did you say? Alright! I got it. I'll be right there, wait for me!"

Leila didn't know what had happened as she saw Vincent stood up, almost hit the table, and left in a hurry. He didn't even give Leila a second look. She had never seen him in such a hurry before and wondered for a moment what had happened.

So, in this spacious villa, Leila was left alone. She got up and put away the dishes, and after washing the kitchen utensils, she went back to the room alone. She laid down on the bed, with her eyes open. This night, she spent most of the night with her eyes open looking at the ceiling, with no intention of sleeping.

It had been three days since Vincent left that day, and the weekend came in a flash.

Leila hadn't seen him or received a single phone call from him in the past few days. After work, Renee asked her to go shopping at the mall.

"Wow!" Hearing an exclamation from Renee, she then ran to a brand store at the speed of a hundred meter sprint and pointed to a white dress on the model under the light. She shook her head uncontrollably and exclaimed, "Wow! Leila, look at this dress. It's so beautiful, you must look like a princess in it."

Leila looked at the dress and nodded. "Yes, it's very beautiful!"

"Miss, we would like to try on this dress!" Renee said to the sales lady.

Leila thought Renee was going to try on the dress and headed for a lounge chair. But when she was about to sit down, she didn't expect Renee to give her the dress. "Go in and try it on!"

"Uh!" Leila shook her head and said to Renee, "I'm not buying a dress!"

"This dress is perfect for you, listen to me! It really suits you!" Renee's excessive enthusiasm left Leila with nothing to say but to let Renee push her into the fitting room.

Yes! This dress was so beautiful! After wearing it, her temperament completely changed and she became a lovely princess.

She squirmed and walked out of the fitting room.

"Ah…You're so beautiful!" Renee almost screamed.

The sales lady also came over with a smile. "Yes, Miss, this dress is so suitable for you. It seems to be specially tailored for you!"

"Just buy it!" Renee suggested excitedly.

"How much is it?" Leila thought it shouldn't be cheap, the clothes in this store were all exquisite.

"Miss, this dress is our new arrival and there is only one in the whole F city. Its price is 9,800 yuan!" The sales lady introduced it with a very professional smile. "It is definitely worth more than its cost!"

When Leila heard the price, she almost fainted. The price was equivalent to several months of her salary, "Uh! No, I can't afford it!"

She was honest.

"Leila, why don't you buy it? This dress is well worth its value. You can ask your husband to buy it for you!"

Renee said, "Isn't he a corporate tycoon? By the way, Leila, I heard that Vincent is your husband, is this rumor true?"

Leila twitched the corner of her lips awkwardly and shook her head.

When the sales lady saw that she couldn't afford it, her face immediately changed, "Miss, if you don't want to buy it, please take it off!"

Although the sales lady's tone was wrong, she didn't go too far; however, Renee felt offended.

"Hey! Who says we can't afford it? Leila, call your husband! I want to know who your husband is too! See if the rumors are true?"

When Leila was about to speak, she heard a softly spoken voice from behind. "Vincent, this dress is so beautiful, I love it so much!"

"Then buy it!" A low and familiar male voice followed.

Leila was stunned as she saw in the mirror a slender figure walking towards the store with an elegant stride.

With a "buzz", Leila felt a thunderbolt explode in her mind, followed by a blank in front of her eyes.

She saw Vincent, and by his side, a willowy beauty was holding his arm. It was another unfamiliar woman. When they stood together, the handsome man and the beautiful woman were really a pair of perfect couples, so dazzling that others couldn't open their eyes.

Renee and the sales lady's attentions were drawn to them.

Leila kept looking at Vincent's face from the mirror, and he glanced as if unconsciously into Leila's eyes in the mirror. His eyes went cold, flickering with a certain shimmer, but still remaining his composure. Slowly, a grim smile emerged on his lips.

Leila was flustered and immediately lowered her head.

"Vincent, I want to buy the dress she is wearing!" The beauty said to the sales lady.

"Okay, then I'll take this dress she's wearing!" Vincent's voice was low and clear.
