"How could Victor Grant bear to let her live in such a suffocating single room? Pleading with May Morgan, he said, ’May, the security in Beldon City isn’t great either. How can I rest easy with you living alone? Trust , I may not have many skills, but I do keep my word. Just settle down and live there; I promise I won’t step into that villa without your permission. Is that okay?’
Seeing how pitiful he sounded, May knew rejecting him continuously wasn’t a solution. Reluctantly, she nodded in agreent: ’I’ll stay there temporarily for now. You don’t have to move out; we can live separately. Please don’t upset your mother.’
May’s nodding agreent nearly made Victor jump for joy. He exclaid, ’Great, great! As long as you don’t move away, I’ll do anything you ask. So, how about we move now? I’ve almost sorted out all my company’s matters.’
Victor feared any sudden changes, so he was eager to help May move, but May still had so unfinished business and didn’t want to leave yet.
’Can I leave tomorrow instead? I have so matters to handle today.’
Recalling seeing Jacob Jennings and the advisor conversing at the school, May’s doubt grew even more intense, and she couldn’t help but say to Victor Grant: ’I saw Jacob Jennings go to the school today, but secretly. I now strongly suspect that the reason the school doesn’t let attend is because he orchestrated it behind the scenes.’
Victor beca anxious upon hearing this: ’Really? If this is true, Vincent Vance really went all out. What a bastard, after all those days as husband and wife, how could he do such despicable things?’
May said nothing, but after pondering for a while, she discussed with Victor: ’Can you take to my advisor’s house? I want to confront him face-to-face.’
Victor was entirely at May’s disposal, so upon hearing her request, he imdiately drove her to et her advisor.
It was clear that Teacher Lewis hadn’t expected May to visit him suddenly. His face showed more panic than surprise.
’May, why...why are you here?’ Teacher Lewis stamred as he looked at May inquiringly.
May glanced at him and, starting with politeness, asked: ’Teacher Lewis, did you et with Jacob Jennings during the day and speak with him at the school entrance?’
Upon hearing this, Teacher Lewis’s panic on his face beca even more evident. He repeatedly waved his hands denying it: ’No, no. Mr. Jennings is not soone I can casually et.’
’Really?’ Seeing him respond this way, May didn’t bother with pleasantries. She quickly took out her phone and showed the photos she had taken at the school entrance to Teacher Lewis, where it clearly depicted him standing in front of Jacob Jennings’ car, talking to him through the half-opened window.
Faced with undeniable evidence, Teacher Lewis couldn’t help but break out in a sweat: ’I-I did see him during the day, but he warned not to tell you about it. So I didn’t dare to say directly.’
May nodded and asked Teacher Lewis: ’Then let ask you, when I went to school to process my transfer, were the docunts already prepared in advance? Who told you to prepare these? Was it Jacob Jennings?’
’This...this, I’m not sure. You should ask the other school leaders; the principal should know this matter best.’
With issues involving confidentiality, Teacher Lewis dared not say much more, and could only stall, wiping cold sweat and stamring while dealing with May.
Victor was short-tempered. Seeing this old sly guy still not telling the truth, he grabbed Teacher Lewis’s clothes and threatened: ’Stop playing dumb with . Are you going to tell the truth or not? Do you believe I’ll beat you up if you don’t speak?’
May didn’t stop Victor’s violence, for although Teacher Lewis treated her well usually, it didn’t an he hadn’t deceived her. If he had conspired with Jacob and others to deceive her, then he was part of Vincent’s group, so why should she show him any rcy?
Seeing Victor’s fierce deanor and real intent to hit him, Teacher Lewis was frightened to the point his facial expression changed drastically, so he no longer persisted: ’I’ll tell, I’ll tell. You guessed right. Actually, when you called saying you wanted to return to school, the school managent called Jacob Jennings, but Mr. Jennings apparently disagreed with you returning to school and urged us to persuade you to transfer. He seed to really want you to leave this city. However, we couldn’t inquire about the specifics, and could only act according to his wishes.’
After hearing, May suddenly felt an intense sadness. Jacob Jennings’ wishes were Vincent Vance’s wishes, weren’t they? Jacob pressured her to leave, which was according to Vincent’s wishes to make her hurry and leave. Why did he want to make her leave quickly? Probably he was afraid she would interfere with his and that woman’s wedding, right?
Vincent, oh Vincent, you truly went to great lengths for that woman.
Fine, very well. Since you care so much about that woman and your wedding, let give you a big gift.
’Victor, let him go. Let’s leave.’ Teacher Lewis had already said everything he needed to say, so May decided not to make things more difficult for him, allowing Victor to release him before leaving with Victor Grant.
Once in the car, Victor grumbled all the way, full of resentnt for Vincent Vance, the scumbag: ’Damn it, I’ve never seen such a scummy man as Vincent. This was rciless, right? To marry that woman, afraid you’d ruin the wedding, he tried every ans to drive you away. Could he actually do such a thing?’
May sneered coldly, turning to Victor Grant with a glance, she suddenly asked: ’Victor Grant, are your underlings still around?’
Though calling them thugs sounded unpleasant, it was just May being candid. Even if she called him a thug, Victor didn’t mind.
’Yes, those are my brothers who’ve worked hard with . Though I don’t want to do business in Silverwood City right now, I still take care of my brothers.’
May nodded and discussed with Victor: ’Vincent is so keen to drive away simply because he fears I won’t accept and might ruin his wedding with Brianna White. I naturally can’t swallow this anger, so I must give him a big gift.’
Back then, Brianna White didn’t spare her from suffering. She rembered all these grievances, though Vincent forgot, she hadn’t.
As soon as May spoke about revenge, Victor instantly beca excited like he’d been energized: ’What’s your plan?’
’Rember how Vincent broke off his engagent with his first fiancée? We’ll use the sa thod. I’ll see just how deep Vincent’s feelings for Brianna are, whether they’re deep enough that he’d still willingly marry her after she’s been humiliated.’
May snorted coldly, her eyes blazing with hatred towards Vincent Vance. Vincent, if you’re unrighteous, don’t bla for being unjust. I’ve said before, I’m not a pushover or so naive girl. What you owe , sooner or later, I’ll make you repay.
