Not Again Mr Whitney novel Chapter 24

There were two things that men shouldn’t looked straight into. One was the sun, the other was the heart.

The former hurt your eyes. The latter hurt your feelings.

Vincent made himself look like a good son-in-law and a loving husband.

Today, Calvin unveiled his true self in front of everyone.

This time, they finally knew how despicable and disgusting he really was.

“How did you know...”

Vincent didn’t care about the pain in his body anymore.

He stumbled to his feet and wanted to grab Calvin’s phone.

Then, Calvin slapped him hard in his face.

This slap was the revenge for the humiliation Vincent brought him all these years, his evil thoughts about Rita and his double-faced behaviors.

Vincent vomited blood and spat out two of his teeth.

Betty couldn’t just look on and she wanted to hold him up. But Lewis was furious, “Don’t you dare help him!”

“Grandma...” Betty had to ask Mrs. Houston for help. Mrs. Houston wanted to say something but even she felt like Vincent had taken it too far.

At last, she sighed, “Vincent, how could you do that? How could you help others to do harm to your family? You disappointed me.”

Vincent lowered his head and didn’t dare to utter a word. He knew at this time, he had to pretend in order to make them pity him.

After all, the Houstons all liked him so much before.

In the living room, the atmosphere was pretty weird.

The one who was targeted at became Vincent. They all found out that they had wronged Calvin.

Even though this was not the first time.

Especially Rita. The look on her face was very complicated.

She mustered her courage and murmured, “Calvin, then the time you tossed that water bottle at me...”

“Since I had known what they were up to, I can’t let you drink that. At that time, you’ve already opened the bottle. I had to do that. So, I’m sorry.”

Rita shook her head, “You don’t need to apologized to me. Thank God that you saved me. Or else I don’t know what I should do.”

Vincent suddenly looked up at them. After he lost his teeth, he couldn’t speak very clearly.

“Auntie, I admit that bastard Bradford did want to do bad things to Rita. But I was just going along with him in order to get that contract so I could help you out. How could I ever do such terrible things? Rita, you gotta believe me.”

After that, Betty said hastily, “Right, we all know who Vincent really is. He was forced to do that. And Rita is completely fine after all.”

Rita stared at this shameless couple coldly, “That’s because Calvin saved me. Otherwise...”

Betty snorted, “How can you prove he was telling the truth? What if he was lying? Are you gonna wrong Vincent?”

Everyone started to think this through. Yes, this recording did make people despise Vincent.

But what if Calvin was lying? How did Calvin know there was something wrong with that bottle of water?

After all, Rita was completely fine and was still standing in front of everyone.

Mrs. Houston cleared her throat, “Vincent, no matter what you say, we are all disappointed in you.”

Vincent was lying on the ground like a dead dog. He didn’t dare to explain for himself.

“But we can’t just give him up. I personally think Vincent only verbally humiliated Rita. At the end of the day, I believe he only said that to get the contract. He and Betty have always been a loving couple, which we have all witnessed.”

Betty held on to Mrs. Houston’s arms and cried, “Thank you grandma, Vincent definitely didn’t mean that.”

Calvin sneered. After all this, she still dared to say that Vincent was wronged. He was curious how far they could go.

Rita was breathing hastily. This time, she really thought Mrs. Houston was being totally unfair.

“Grandma, you think he did nothing wrong?”

Mrs. Houston was stunned, “I... let alone whether he is wrong or not, Calvin...”

Speaking of Calvin, Mrs. Houston’s tone turned cold.

“Do you have any proof Vincent did give her the drugged water?”

Calvin looked at her, “Isn’t the recording enough?”

“Of course not. Vincent had explained that.”

Calvin asked, “And you believe him?”

“I…I do. He is a good kid.”

Calvin asked again, “But what about me? Will you trust me?’

Mrs. Houston was astonished. She didn’t like his attitude. He was questioning her.

“Hmm, I’m not going to answer that. I just want to know if you have any proof or not.”

Calvin laughed. He looked at Carrie and asked, “Mother, Rita is your child. If something happens to her, you ought to help her. You chased after me just because I bruised her wrist before, right?’
