John was heartbroken. He knew no matter what he said, he wouldn’t be able to give Vivian a satisfactory answer. He could quarrel with his parents, even broke up with his parents for Vivian, but he couldn’t send them to jail because of Vivian, let alone to make his proud father, whom he was also proud of, apologize to Vivian.
John rubbed his face and said, “I know you suffered a lot in this accident. But I have no better solution. This person is as important as you are to me. I will make it up to you in other ways. I promise you I will do whatever you want me to do as long as I can make it, ok?”
“Why are you still with me, when this person is so important to you?” Vivian asked instantly in a slightly high voice. She closed her eyes, trying to forget this, and said, “John, I know there’s a deep bond between you two as you have grown up together. Maybe you had a crush on each other. If it’s hard for you to forget each other, you two should be together. I don’t want to meddle in your relationship. I have committed so many mistakes in my life.” Her issue with Angie was her lifelong regret. Now she felt she was such a loser with the revenge from Haylee. She felt like being punished by God. Angie and William could have been a perfect match as well as Haylee and John. And she shouldn’t even exist at all. In that case, she wouldn’t have meddled in their relationships and been punished by God. Vivian thought to herself.
John was confused, but he felt that Vivian was referring to Haylee. He frowned, “Vivi, is there any misunderstanding?”
“Nope. I know everything from A to Z now.” Vivian replied.
“But”
“What are you doing under the strong sunlight when you haven’t recovered?” William asked, frowning at them in a classic black suit not far away. He sounded so cold that she felt the temperature was cooled down by his voice.
Vivian knew he was unhappy, so she came up to him and said, grabbing his shoulder, “Let’s go.”
“Vivi!” John cried out sadly.
Vivian stopped for a second, but didn’t respond to him. William smiled contently. It did require some skills to pursue girls.
They were finally in the manor. And this time, Selina was not kept out, so she got to visit this manor, which was mysterious to many people. It was super large at the first sight and super luxurious at the second glance.
Selina was so amazed at such a wonderful manor that she asked Vivian secretly, “Are you sure William didn’t rob the bank? How come he is soooo rich?”
“It’s said to be handed down from the older generations. As for the details, I have no idea either,” Vivian said absent-minded.
Selina frowned and asked, “Are you still thinking about John? What happened to you guys? Did I miss anything?”
Vivian hesitated for a second and then she asked, “You are familiar with the people from John’s family. Have you ever heard anything about John’s fiancée?”
Selina thought carefully for a second and replied, “I haven’t heard about fiancée. But I did know there was a girl called Haylee, whom Mrs. Reina seemed to be fond of. That’s all I know about her. Although my Dad is highly respected, he despised attending business banquets as he works for the government. Thus, I don’t get contact with them frequently.”
