A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 388

In other words, he was quite busy; then, something came up at home, and now he was incredibly busy. He didn’t sleep one wink all night, and now he was working under intense stress and fatigue.

Leila rushed to the hospital to visit her father. Mabel began to sigh and occasionally turned away to wipe tears from her face.

“Mom!” Leila ran up to hug her. “I’m sorry, I’m so useless!”

“Why would Vincent do this?”

“It wasn’t him, Mom!” Leila said softly and sorrowfully, “This time, it wasn’t him!”

Mabel was stunned and suddenly became speechless!

In the afternoon, Vincent received the divorce papers which Leila asked the lawyer to deliver.

“Mr. White, Mrs. White has already signed; please sign as well!”

Vincent was taken aback for a second. He took the papers and scrawled quickly on it. The lawyer looked down at the papers and was stunned. In huge letters was the words - Not in a million years!

“Mr. White, I’m just Miss Hunter’s attorney; please cooperate!”

“Get out!” Vincent’s chilling tone voiced his incredible discontent at the moment.

“It’s my job; please cooperate!”

Vincent glared at him, then picked up his phone. “Clara, fetch someone to kick this man out!”

“Yes, President!”

In a mere minutes, some security guards appeared in Vincent’s office and carried the lawyer out.

“President White, you can’t do this; I’m a lawyer!”

Vincent leaned back in his chair. Leila was quite decisive; it’d only been a day and she has already lawyered up. Was she this eager to leave him?

Leila got the call from the lawyer, who stated Vincent wouldn’t sign the papers. Leila felt incredibly helpless.

“”He won’t sign?”

“Mrs. White, Mr. White’s way too dominating; he had men carry me out. He signed, but what he signed was ‘Never in a million years’. I think he’s still quite caught up on you. Are you sure you want to get a divorce?”

“We’ll put this on hold for a while,” Leila said, “I’ll contact you!”

She hung up, then continued to call Macey. It was as though she had vanished, there wasn’t a trace of her anywhere.

Over at the White Group.

“President, Miss Russell is looking for you!” Clara said over the speakerphone.

“No!”

“But she’s already here; didn't the President instructed before that Miss Russell could come and go as she pleased? She’s coming up now, just right before your door.” Clara’s voice became smaller and smaller.

Vincent scratched his head; it was true, he did give these instructions.

Pippa was here to see him, but this only made him more frustrated, “Send her away!”

“Miss Russell-” As Clara’s voice trailed off, the doors to his office were pushed open, and Pippa stood right at the entrance.

“Vince, I’m sorry!” Pippa’s eyes were filled with tears as she pitifully stood at the entrance, looking at Vincent’s direction. When she saw the wounds on his face, she immediately rushed over to him. “Vince, you’re hurt? How did you get hurt?”

She didn’t attend last night’s banquet, so she didn’t know that he got hurt.

As she neared him, Vincent slid back in his huge armchair, then he took another step back to completely avoid her touch. “Stop, don’t come near me! If you’ve got something to say then say it! Then be off on your way!”

Before, he always thought she was feeble and soft-hearted, someone who he could confide in. But lately, he only saw her as a burden.

“Vince-” Pippa stared on in disbelief as Vincent evaded her, “I’m truly sorry, I didn’t mean to be so stubborn. I can’t help it, I hope you can understand!”

“Oh, I understand; you can leave now!” Vincent said promptly, and continued to look at his documents.

“Vince, I know the company’s in peril; let me help you!” Pippa continued.

“No need!” He didn’t want any further ties to Pippa. He said in a low, raspy voice. On his face, there was no hint of the tenderness from before when he spoke to her. Instead, his face was cold and distant.

“If you need cash flow, ask Mom; she’ll wire it to you!” Pippa sniffled and wiped tears from her eyes. “I just want to help you!”

“I said, no need!” Vincent repeated. “You can leave now! Clara, get some guards, escort Miss Russell out! From now on, don’t let any irrelevant personnel in!”

“Vince, let me come to the White Group to help you out. I can do it, and I won’t be so stubborn anymore.” Pippa said quickly.
