She could hear gasps and low laughs in the lobby. A few did an insulting laugh toward her, and she knew it was from those jealous women who wish to be in her place. Not only that, but she could also hear their insults. And among these mocking laughter, that echoed in that lobby, it was meant for Howie. For them, he is digging his own grave. One man's bystanders whispered to his friends. "I wonder what would be President Shen's reaction after watching this video." "Send it! I want Vincent Shen to…-

At the resort lobby, Vince and Hailey exited the building. She glanced at Vince's hand gripping hers. It was tight, but she didn't complain. Rather than hurting, delight filled her heart, holding Vince's warm hand. But still a wonder to her... Every time Vince has to fight someone on behalf of her, he never uses his hands. It intrigues her that sometimes she wanted to ask Vince. "Get in the car." Pulling up the Lamborghini door, Vince told Hailey. She immediately slid down at the passenger seat…

Howie Gu moved his eyes toward Ken Gutierrez, glaring sharply. It annoys him that his friends did nothing to help him. Vincent Shen is alone. If the nine of them beat him, Howie could imagine that the guy turned into a pulp now. Howie sat up, his one hand reached for his sides, while the other one on his throat. He coughs a few times to breathe properly, rubbing his rib cage. He needed an x-ray to make sure nothing had broken. Having the thought, he yelled at the manager, who does nothing but…

"Since you were here, I can go home straight. Then I could start cooking early. What dish did you prefer tonight?" Hailey did her best to sound and look sweet. It is the charm she is using to coax her father or Bryan and the boys. However, Vince remained expressionless in front of her. Another moment passed, Hailey heard Vince hurl a long sigh. "Forget making dinner tonight. We can dine out. But before that, there's something I wanted to do." Hailey remained silent. There's no enthusiasm in…

Letting out a long sigh, Hailey next dialed Geoffrey's contact. She waited for the guy to answer. When he does, a tired voice greets her. "Hello?" "Hey, Geoffrey!" The guy remains silent for a few moments. Probably, Geoffrey was in the process if the voice from the other line is someone he knew all his life. Indeed, he checked the number registered on his phone. It was anonymous and stated that a call from overseas. Draw the phone back to his ear; he asked the other line. "Hail? Is this…

Hailey sweeps her gaze to the entire bus. Everyone was staring at her, waiting for an answer. It was a pain in the ass when your friends are murdering you in public.

Hailey's POV "N University!" With a sweet smile, Hailey told the taxi driver the moment she entered the vehicle. Since it was still early morning, they did not encounter traffic on the road, and she arrived at school within less than twenty minutes. She already notified Nadia and Liza that she was now outside at the University getting off from a cab. The two girls already reserved her a seat. She quickly got on the bus the moment she arrived in the assembly area. Mrs. Gomez gestured her hand at…

The following day, Vince found Hailey placing food boxes in a gray lunch bag. He wondered why she made him lunch. He remembered her mentioning yesterday that she has to be at school at seven o'clock, but it was past seven now. 'Could it be that it was a peace offering lunch bag?' Vince mused. Last night, he looked upset after she refused to be his date at the Class Reunion. And knowing she made lunch, her technique is working on him. Vince glanced at his wristwatch, his gaze turned then to Hailey,…
