Together Apart: Her White Moonlight Has Returned Too Chapter 206: Aren’t You Upset?
The sunset’s glow spilled over the two of them, and Vera Yves looked up at him with so surprise.
Winston Valentine kissed her lips and, in the next mont, jumped down while holding her.
Vera closed her eyes, the intense feeling of weightlessness brought tears to her eyes as she tightly clung to the man before her, and everything around seed to disappear.
Falling, bouncing back up.
Not knowing how many tis it repeated.
Then it gradually cald down.
"Thump, thump, thump," soone’s heartbeat was racing wildly.
Back on the ground, Vera’s legs weakened further, and Winston wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes before bending down to kiss her lips again. In anger, Vera bit him.
Winston furrowed his brow and let her go due to the pain, looking at her pouting face, he couldn’t help but pinch her cheek, "Are you really mad?"
Vera didn’t want to pay him any mind.
"You were so loud, my ears are hurting."
"You deserved it."
Winston took her hand and slapped his own face with it, "I’ll let you hit, until you’re no longer angry."
Vera looked into his amused eyes; though she was initially scared, having him by her side made it not as frightening as she’d imagined, rather exhilarating.
Vera withdrew her hand and glared at him, "Can you stop being so possessive?"
"So, you weren’t here with him?"
Vera fell silent for a mont, "That was years ago."
Back then, it was a group of people, but sure enough, her eyes were fixed only on Miles Monroe.
She was scared to tears by the bungee jump, and he had been there comforting her the whole ti.
"I should have stolen you away for puppy love the first ti you called brother."
"Aren’t you a bore?"
"Call brother again, let hear it." Winston hugged her, coaxing her softly, "Brother will buy you candy."
Vera’s cheeks reddened slightly, feeling a strong urge to shut him up.
On their return trip, it was already past six in the evening, and Hannah Hayes called Vera to co ho for dinner.
Winston took her back ho and stayed for dinner too.
Hannah Hayes saw Winston and greeted him before heading back into the kitchen.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud noise ca from upstairs.
Harry Yves’s furious voice rang out, "Are you trying to drive mad?"
"She attempted suicide, so I have to marry her?" Mark Yves was clearly angry too, "Then if I try to kill myself, will you give up this ridiculous idea? Want to jump right here and now?"
"Jumping here won’t kill you, go jump from the roof! Jump to your doom, I’ll support you your whole life! Otherwise, one day, you’ll drive to my grave!"
"Fine, I’ll go jump then! Perfect, I can pair with Mia Tate!"
"Bang!"
The door was slamd shut violently.
Hannah Hayes ca out from the kitchen, "Mark Yves, co down here!"
Vera and Winston went upstairs together, seeing Mark indeed heading to the roof, Vera walked over, dragged him down, and kicked him hard in the calf.
Mark winced in pain, "Vera, are you crazy!"
"When faced with issues, what do you do besides escaping?" Vera looked at him with bitter disappointnt, "You’ve been gone for over half a month, if it weren’t for your irresponsible behavior, would Mia Tate have tried to commit suicide?"
"She’s just trying to force to marry her!"
"Mia Tate is not that kind of girl."
"If she’s so great, why don’t any of you marry her?"
Winston gave him a glance, and Mark imdiately felt a bit guilty, "I knew getting dragged back is bad news."
The phone rang, and Winston took it out, stepping aside to answer. His expression grew heavier by the mont.
Hanging up, Winston walked over to the two, looking at Vera, "I have sothing to deal with, I’ll leave first."
Vera nodded.
Winston gave Mark a cold look, "Have a proper talk with your sister, if you dare leave ho again, be prepared for to handle you."
Mark swore inwardly.
Winston went downstairs, greeted Hannah Hayes, and then left the Yves Family, instructing the driver to head to the Shelby family’s villa.
linda Shelby sat on the sofa in the living room, watching financial news on TV.
She was leisurely sipping tea, signaling the maid to pour Winston a cup when he entered.
"Uncle Sterling brought this black tea back for from a business trip last ti, the taste isn’t bad, give it a try."
Winston seated himself on the adjacent sofa, "What are you planning to do?"
linda Shelby smiled at him, "Naturally, what should be done should be done. Committing a cri ans going to jail."
Winston’s gaze deepened, "Are you sure?"
"Winston, haven’t you always disliked him?" linda Shelby took another sip, "Won’t you be happy if he goes to jail?"
Regarding Henry Sterling, Winston’s feelings are a bit complicated. Ever since he found out about him and his mother, Winston had been very averse to him, even disgusted by him.
However, before that, Henry had always played a significant role in his heart.
"At this ti, if you agree to divorce him, there’s still a chance to turn things around."
linda Shelby clenched her teacup, "Divorcing him at this ti, would negate all my efforts over the years, right? Back when he married for alliance, he took advantage of the Shelby family, overca your uncles, and took control of the Valentine Family! Then, he turned against the Shelby family, all just to marry that woman!
linda Shelby’s eyes filled with hatred, "I loved him so much, supported him wholeheartedly, and this is how he repaid ! If I hadn’t been ruthless enough, the Shepherd Group would have vanished from Imperia long ago! And you? Wouldn’t be the successor of anything!"
linda Shelby steadied her emotions, "He wants to marry that woman, but I just won’t let him have his way! He has evidence; don’t I have any? At our level, how many people are truly clean! If he strikes once, I’ll strike back tenfold!"
"Are you so sure that Henry Sterling won’t sell you out?" Winston’s expression darkened, "Even a rabbit will bite when cornered."
linda Shelby chuckled, looking at Winston with a pointed remark, "In this world, the only person who will never betray is him."
"Aren’t you afraid those evidences could be enough for him to get the death penalty?"
linda Shelby’s gaze wavered, she looked at Winston, "Winston, in your eyes, does your mother lack such judgnt?"
Winston was silent for a mont, "Getting soone in is easy, getting them out is much harder; you’d better think it over."
Winston stood up and left.
linda Shelby went upstairs, Henry Sterling had prepared the bathwater for her. Seeing her co in, he massaged her shoulders, "Did Winston co by?"
linda Shelby smiled at him, "You’ve cared for him all these years, and he still holds you dear."
Henry Sterling kissed the top of her head, "Tomorrow, soone will probably co to take away, I’ve taken care of everything, and arranged a new assistant for you. But as the negative news cos out, the company will definitely be affected, you must be careful in everything."
linda Shelby turned to look at him, "Do you bla ?"
Henry Sterling shook his head, "At our age now, matters shouldn’t be so bold anymore, it’s ti to gradually pass the group onto Winston."
"He said he has a way to stop Tristan Valentine from marrying that woman." linda Shelby sneered, "Then I’ll just wait and see."
Early the next morning, Henry Sterling was taken away for investigation on charges including bribery and illegal fundraising.
Winston saw the news while in his office.
Walter Lowell knocked on the door, bringing him back to his senses.
"President Valentine, Miss Jane Shea is here to see you."
