Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 778

In the end, he lowered his head and said, “Alright, but as a friend, I still don’t wish to see either of you get hurt. Four years ago, I stood by his side because of the circumstances at that time, not because I harbor any ill-intentions towards you. Vick, I hope you understand.”

Vickie did not say anything. Her eyebrows remained as calm as before, but deep in the corner of her eyes, there was a soft glimmer.

She replied indifferently, “It’s all in the past.”

Yes, it was all in the past!

All the injuries she suffered, she could ignore them. All the pain she endured, she could forget them. All the people who betrayed her, she could forgive them.

Though one thing she could not ignore was to forget and forgive.

Those were the brothers and sisters who had died because of her.

Even though they knew about her relationship with Gregory, they were still willing to trust her and believed in her promise that she would not betray the organization.

All of them treated her with sincerity and welcomed her with enthusiasm. They believed that black was black and white was white. Despite knowing that she was a childhood friend of Gregory, they believed in her conviction, and that she would not put everyone in harm’s way for her own selfish interest.

In the end, what did they get?

It was a red-hot betrayal, an inhumane slaughter. It was pain and regret forged out of fresh flowing blood.

There were countless nights where, as Vickie laid on the tiny metal bed inside her prison cell, she stared into the dark night and wondered to herself.

If she could turn back time, what would she have chosen?

She certainly would not have chosen to be with Gregory. Moreover, she definitely would not have chosen to believe in him, at the most critical moment, that he would keep his public and private affairs separate, that he would not use their relationship as a weapon and that he would not take advantage of her feelings.

She was too naïve!

Really too naïve!

It was in that manner that he took advantage of her trust and her feelings for him. Step by step, he got closer to the core members of the Vermilion Bird Organization. Using the Vermilion Bird Organization’s trust in Vickie, he leaked some fake information and finally caught them all in a single swoop. Then, he killed all of them.

What a cruel heart!

Considering how cruel his heart was, why did he not just kill her altogether?

Vickie had thought about this countless times, but she did not have an answer.

Perhaps she would not know the answer for the rest of her life.

While she was caught up in her thoughts, there were sounds of footsteps. She shook herself gently and returned to the present but all she saw was Yuliana holding Gregory’s arm and marching towards her with a livid expression.

“Gregory, look, she was the one who slapped me. My face is still swollen. I merely wanted to pour her a glass of water, but she hit me. How can there be such an unreasonable person in the world?”

She held onto Gregory’s arm and looked up at him with an aggrieved yet respectful expression.

Gregory’s expression was indifferent, there was no hint of joy nor anger. However, his gaze towards Vickie had a sliver of malicious scorn.

“Oh? You said she hit you?”

“Yes.”

“Then hit her back. Why did you drag me here?”

When he said that, Yuliana was taken aback.

Massimo cleared his throat and he could not help but explain, “Gregory, this is not Vick’s fault. Yuliana was the one who poured a glass of water all over Vick first, and that’s why Vick retaliated.”

“Vick?”

Gregory uttered the word softly, then narrowed his eyes to look at Massimo.

Massimo gulped.

From Gregory’s glare, Massimo received a dangerous threat. He immediately shut his mouth and took a step back. Then, he turned his head away and looked in another direction, pretending that he had not said anything.

Only then did Gregory retract his glare.

Meanwhile, as Vickie watched all of this unfold, she felt a chill in her heart yet her expression remained unmoved.

She merely replied coolly, “I did hit her, so what?”
