Chapter 267 - Roasting Her Lover (Three)
It was Geoffrey and Jas who first rushed toward Vincent. His first landed well at Bryan's right jaw, swollen lip, and blood coming from his mouth. However, Pitt blocked Jas' punch by dodging it using his arms while Bryan uses his body to shield Vincent from Geoffrey's attack.
Geoffrey attempts to throw another punch, but he is pulled back by the other n. Jas was in a rage, not able to land his knuckles on Vincent's face because Pitt was using his martial arts on him.
"This is crazy! Are you three good buddies now? Huh?" Jas blurted out. He's laughing ridiculously.
"Are you seriously protecting that a**hole!" Geoffrey seconded, pointing at Vincent. He was struggling to co closer again.
"If we didn't do it. How are we going to explain to the princess that Vincent was beating up badly?" Pitt reasoned out.
"How outrageous!" Geoffrey tries to get free, but Trevor and Josh are holding him tight. "Let go! That's not enough, for you Bryan! I will beat you up, good!"
"I'm sorry if you et in this kind of situation." Vincent apologized, where the n-only scowl at him.
They cannot accept him, and Vincent was fully aware of that. So then, he went on...
"I didn't an to make Hailee my mistress. God knows I want her as my wife. I would love to marry her. There's no other woman I wanted to walk down the aisle and bring to the altar but her." Vincent looked at every man in that lounge until his gaze fixed on Jacob.
"But if you didn't hide her from . There is the possibility that I won't be forced to marry another woman but have my chances to et her before my life gets ssed up." He added it confused everyone.
"What are you talking about now, Mr. Shen?"
Vincent took a long-breathed to express himself. "I look for her...." he began.
"I searched for her! I asked hundreds of people. No, thousands! But no god damn one told the truth that the woman I am looking for is a princess of a High Royal Family mber. Am I right, Chairman Davies, sir?"
The n shifted their gaze toward the chairman. He perfectly knows that the boys wanted an explanation.
Jacob sits upright in his chair. Both of his elbows rested on the armrest, clasping his palms, then rested his chin on it. His gaze never left Vincent.
"Do you know about this, Uncle Jacob?" It was Leo who dared to ask.
"Yes. Shun inford ," Jacob replied without blinking an eye. "But Vincent Shen is just one of the hundred n who is looking for my daughter, and that includes Liam in the numbers."
The n groaned and mumbled in a low voice. Each of them isn't sure what to reckon now.
"Whatever then, it won't change the fact that Hailee had an affair with a married man! Does she even know that?" Soone from the knights raises the question.
"The Princess knows about it," Pitt replied.
"You are becoming biased now, Pitt, so stop speaking for Mr. Shen!"
"But that is true." Kristian, who stood in the corner near the glass door, chid in their dialogue.
Every head turned in his direction. Now, the n are ready to roast him.
"What did you know about this, Kris?" Now they
"You all know that all reports and information go through . But the princess had talked to ahead first and made swear to zip my mouth if I got reports about her activities in P Country."
"So, you know on the very first day that Vincent Shen is the Princess's boyfriend, and he is married."
Kris is nodding at his response. The lounge was filled with noise from the n's complaints.
"I'm sorry if I kept the truth from you, sir." He apologizes.
Jacob looks at Kris for a mont, then turns to Vincent. He asked, "What happened, and my daughter almost had a miscarriage and had wounds on her body. Is this your wife?"
"Yes, sir, and I'm sorry about that. I should have dealt with Eva myself and gotten your daughter involved in my divorce if I had known. But we didn't know that she was pregnant until this morning."
"So you were saying you just learned about her pregnancy?"
"Yes, sir," Vincent replied. "I am truly sorry, sir. If only I could..."
Vincent stops speaking after Jacob raises his hand, motioning for him to stop.
"I heard enough," he said.
"Uncle Jacob?"
So n aren't satisfied. They could not get off Vincent just like that. They wanted to vent their anger and annoyance. Beating him up could make their blood relax a little.
"You guys can punch . But please, avoid breaking my arms and fingers." Vincent suggested; his request made the n snort. They think he is becoming egotistic.
"Don't give us crap!" Jas roared at him.
"I just wanted to keep my promise to Hailee. I can't disappoint her." He reasons out, and everyone falls silent. No one attempts to counter that.
When it cos to the princess, they cannot have the heart to argue further. And this made them helpless, but they shot sharp stares at the guy.
"Alright. Let's call it a night. All of you can go back to the apartnt. We still have work to do later. It's almost sunrise." he urges them.
"No. We are staying, Uncle Jacob." And the rest of the n said the sa.
Jacob just let them. He knows already that these n would throw a fuss if they talk to Vincent by themselves; that is why he leads this eting. Besides, he is interested in knowing everything about Vincent, aside from being the son of Frederick Shen.
Jacob stands from the chair; Vincent walks over.
"Sir, can I speak to you in private?"
"Is this about my daughter?" Jacob guessed.
Vincent nodded, "Yes, sir."
Jacob stared at Vincent. He sized him up and searched his face with emotions he wanted to see.
