A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 323

Vincent was really not in the house. Leila turned around to the door and saw a piece of paper pressed on the door with a magnet, “The password to the door is your birthday!”

Her heart trembled violently, what kind of trick was this?

“Leila, don't get moved by him again, everything he does is because he wants to control you ...” Leila muttered, opened the door and left the HL Apartment of Sea Hotel.

The White Group president room.

“Did you read the report?” Arthur smiled as usual as he ambiguously glanced at Vincent. He was holding today's newspaper in his hand while sitting on his executive chair. While looking at the photo in the newspaper, he lazily spoke, “What a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, what a beautiful picture. Uh, this is me. The section right here. Someone took a picture in the elevator where Leila and I went upstairs together. Uh, her private live is chaotic, Leila private life is really chaotic!”

“Arthur Lane, do you think today is the first day I know you?” Vincent raised his eyebrows without expressing any emotion.

“What do you mean?” Arthur pretended to be confused. “See? I'll read it to you! Yesterday, after the president of the White Group, Vincent White, told the press that Leila is his wife, a reporter received a scoop. On that night, Leila and the vice president of the White Group, Arthur Lane, got in the elevator together to the twenty-seventh floor of the HL Apartment, suspected of dating in secret...”

Vincent had read that newspaper a while back. He annoyingly lit up a cigarette. “I completely trust you!”

“Vincent, there is no use in trusting me, how can you be so sure that I do not have improper thoughts about your wife? What exactly did you do to Leila last night? I want to know!” Arthur spoke with a straight face as he put the newspaper on the table. “How is she now?”

“How did you guys meet?” Vincent did not answer his question.

“I met Leila last time when Macey ran around naked in your office, she came to deliver clothes to Macey. However, at that time, I didn't know that she was your wife, and she said her surname was Ross, so I thought she was Macey’s cousin. I didn't know she was your wife until yesterday!”

So that's how it was, he had long felt that there was something wrong with Leila when she saw Arthur, “Nothing happened, right?”

“You want to know the truth?

“Of course.”

“Well, that day when your wife was pushed by her sister, she fell down and suddenly blood could be seen oozing out. I acted as a protector of women and gave her my jacket. Otherwise, going out with blood on her will not be good. That's all, nothing else happened, whether you believe it or not.” Arthur understood Vincent. If he did not say anything, Vincent will be more suspicious. So, in order to not talk about the incident of Leila learning taekwondo, he can only say this embarrassing thing.

“Is the Armani-branded jacket yours?” Vincent thought of the Armani jacket that he had thrown away in the trash that day at the hotel, which turned out to be Arthur’s.

But why would Leila lied and say it belongs to Theodore? Blood? Damn, she was in menstrual period. Arthur actually saw Leila having her period! His expression showed his discontent..

“Vincent, you are unhappy, right? Don't be jealous. About you wife, she seems nice and is very supportive, she is the most suitable person to be the wife of a so-called successful person like you. She is innocent from the start, just treat her well!”

“You care too much about her!” Vincent’s harsh gaze fell on Arthur’s face.

“I care about all nice women. If you hurt her, maybe I will snatch her away from you, this is not a joke!” Arthur blinked, although he could not see how serious he was through his eyes, but Vincent knew that he was not joking.

It seemed that he had underestimated Leila’s charm, she had actually made Arthur to speak for her.

“You won’t have any chance!” Vincent smiled gently. “Not because of her, but because I don't want to lose a buddy like you because of her!”

“You are such a tough talker!” Arthur twitched his lips. “Are you seriously using me as a shield, you're so hypocritical!”

Vincent frowned, unable to refute back.

“Who was the person who took the tape from the elevator? The people at the HL Property must have leaked the video, damn it, I must destroy that camera no matter what!” Arthur frowned.

After abruptly putting out the cigarette, Vincent picked up the phone on the table. He opened his phone again, and found the number from yesterday's anonymous call. “Hey, Manager Billy, help me find more information about this phone number, the number is ... yeah!”

“Okay, you can call back in ten minutes, okay, thanks~!” Vincent raised his head and looked at Arthur. “The anonymous call we received last night said that Leila was with you!”

“It seems like someone is really trying to use us and provoke me, that person must be tired of living!”

“I will investigate and find out the truth!”

“Vin, you trust me that much, what if I had done it with your wife last night ...”

“I know you!” He did not get angry at him too much, that was because he knew what kind of person Arthur was. As for Leila, his feeling at that time was to trust her, no reasons needed. Other than feeling a bit angry and uncomfortable as she was with Arthur in the middle of the night, he really did not think too much about it.

This was because, he never investigated who the man who took her first time really was! After investigating, the results were that she never did it with anyone else, so that time…

It was hard to give a judgement at that moment!

“Your trust on me makes me terrified!” Arthur frowned. “After hearing what you said, you only knew that I was with Leila after receiving that anonymous call!”

“Yeah!” Vincent nodded his head.

At that moment, the phone rang. Vincent picked up the phone and Manager Billy who was at the other end of the phone said, “I already let the company’s technician to investigate further. The number you gave me was purchased from a retailer, hundreds of numbers are registered at once, it’s not clear who they sold it too, a number that can be only used once!”

“Oh! I understand! Thank you!” Vincent pondered. “I'm going out!”

“You haven't said what you did with Leila!” Arthur stopped him.

“The person is still alive!” He replied.
