Chapter 405: Chapter 405

“Great! You’re learning to be a good wife?” He said happily and smiled as he looked at her, “I’m be overjoyed to have my wife beside me. I believe that I can achieve a lot more with you by my side!”

His expression was tender, loving, and caring as he said, “Girl, but you should go to the hospital in the morning to take over your mother. Let her rest for a while. I will send two other caretakers to help take care of your father.”

Vincent could not accept Brian as his father-in-law because due to Brian, he couldn’t see his father anymore. Although he was willing not to pursue the matter, that didn’t mean that he had forgotten about it.

Leila could detect the meaning of his message. She calmly asked, “Vincent, are you still unable to forgive my father?”

He stared at her and said seriously, “Yes! I’m sorry, Leila!”

“I understand! Although I don’t know what happened in the past, I understand your feelings...” She heaved a deep sigh, “I just hope that it can be resolved one day. He is no longer the mayor and he is bedridden! He was a titan but now he is suddenly paralyzed. This tragedy is a fate worse than death for him!”

She suddenly looked at him with matured melancholy, “Can you imagine his situation now? He is bedridden and cannot move. He drools when he speaks and slurs inaudibly. He even urinates on the bed! That’s the situation my father is in!”

His eyes glimmered when he answered, “But he is still alive and had lived in fame and luxury for so many years, isn’t it? Leila, I am unable to respect him as I respect your mother. I’m sorry, please forgive me!”

He sincerely said, “Perhaps I will be able to overcome this after some time, but not now!”

Leila understood that she couldn’t take this lightly and nodded.

“Come, let’s eat something,” Vincent said.

After their breakfast, Vincent sent Leila to the hospital and instructed the driver to wait for Leila and also to protect her. He proceeded to the company thereafter.

At nine o’clock.

Nora came to Vincent’s company and the front desk did not stop her from entering. No one dared to stop her. Pippa came along with her.

“Clara, bring me the files that are required for the meeting afterward,” Vincent said coldly.

“President, your mother and Pippa are here!” Clara said.

Vincent was stunned and frowned immediately as he said solemnly, “Let them in!”

When Nora came in, Vincent was focused as he read the files. He didn’t raise his head to greet her.

“You’re truly something!” Nora said sarcastically as she entered the office, “The company is in a crisis and you are still so calm. I must have taught you well!”

Vincent slowly raised his head and looked at Nora and then glanced at Pippa. He calmly blinked with disdain and then lowered his head again.

“Is this your attitude towards your mother?” Nora became furious when she saw his expression.

“Don’t get angry since your heart is weak!” Vincent said as he continued reading the files.

He would have tolerated it in the past but now that he knew about his feelings towards Leila, he decided not to indulge his mother. She would even use her status as the mother of the director of the White Group. He was suspicious how deep her feelings were for his father. If her feelings for him had been deep and strong, then how could she have sold the company shares?

“How dare you be disobedient against me since you knew that my heart is weak?” Nora said coldly and her eyes glared furiously.

“I have no time to chat with you. Please leave if there isn’t anything else!” Vincent was unwilling to say anymore and suggested that they leave.

“You!” Nora looked at her son and felt helpless as she fumed angrily. Her expression darkened as she said, “Looks like I need to use that video now!”

Vincent was clearly stunned as he held onto the file. Leila would not be able to handle it if a raunchy video of him and Leila was released like what happened to Macey.

Nora scoffed when she saw Vincent’s stern expression, “Hmph, worried now?”

Vincent stood up as he fumed, “What the hell do you want? The subjects in the video are your son and daughter-in-law!”

“I’ve never accepted that Hunter woman as my daughter-in-law!”

“Then you are willing to hurt your son?” Vincent said coldly.

“Vincent, mom’s health is frail. Don’t anger her!” Pippa tried to calm the situation down.

“Shut the hell up!” Vincent yelled angrily at Pippa.

“What are you so worked up for?” Nora sternly rebuked, “I give you 12 hours to divorce Leila. Otherwise, you’ll see the video being broadcast!”

“Mom!” Vincent remarked.

“There’s nothing else to say!” Nora turned away as she blinked, “Pippa, let’s go! I’ve said what I wanted, walk!”

“I won’t divorce!” Vincent objected.

“Then you leave me with no choice. Since you intend to spend your days with our enemy, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. I won’t let you disrespect your father!”

“Then have you respected him? The White Group had been his lifelong achievement. How could you sell the family shares? Mom, I’m suspicious if you’ve ever loved my father! Or is everything you said a ruse? Did Brian really cause the death of my father?”

Nora was clearly stunned. At that moment, her snide look froze as she took a step forward and glared at Vincent. She said slowly as she emphasized every word, “You are suspicious of my feelings towards your father? You’ve betrayed your father and now you are finding excuses for yourself!”

“If you love my father then why did you divorce him?” Vincent asked coldly.

Nora’s expression stiffened as she looked at Vincent. It took a while before she could compose herself, glared at Vincent, and said, “You have 12 hours until midnight tonight. If I don’t receive notice of you leaving Leila by midnight, then the video would cause a bigger commotion than previously!

Oh! Right, I changed my mind. You need to hold a press conference to announce this. You need to tell everyone that you will divorce Leila!

Otherwise, I’ll make sure you regret it!”

“Why?” Vincent yelled furiously as his calmness evaporated. Nora’s lofty elegance also disappeared and only anger and frustration remained.

When she saw Vincent’s fury and aggression, Nora continued to press onto Vincent’s pressure point, “Don’t try to have Charles look for it. He won’t be able to find it. I began to be cautious of Charles when he failed to seduce Leila!”

“You’re cruel!” Vincent tried to keep his cool but his pain could be seen in his expression.

“Son, you’ve forced my hands. You already knew that I hate Brian’s daughters. In the beginning, it was just a game but you became too involved in it.

Now you have to wake up!” Nora glared at Vincent as she said. Her tone and expression exuded her viciousness and determination for revenge.

“Okay! I will divorce Leila!” Vincent remarked in resignation. He then looked at Nora, “But not during a press conference!”

Nora retorted sarcastically, “Son, do you think that you have any choice?”

“Don’t force me!” Vincent yelled.

“It’s you who are forcing me!” Nora yelled in return, “I didn’t want to do this but to prevent your relationship with Leila from rekindling, I want you to marry Pippa after you announce your divorce. Otherwise, you will never get the video back!”

Vincent glared at Nora with his eyes wide open. He had never seen such a ruthless mother. Was she truly his mother? He felt as though he had been viciously stabbed. Then he suddenly raged, “I was just a chess piece for your revenge. In the past, I believed that Brian killed my father, but now I’m suspicious of it! Okay! I promise you that I will divorce Leila and then marry Pippa! Pippa, do you dare to be married to me?”

Pippa was stunned by the question and then answered definitively, “Yes! I’ll definitely agree to be married to you!”

Vincent closed his eyes to contain his pain as he clenched his fists tightly, “Both of you must leave now! I will satisfy both of you!”

“No! You want to see Leila, right? Do you want to tell her that it’s a fake divorce? No! Then I will release the news before your divorce!”

“What news?” Vincent demanded.

“That Pippa is pregnant. I’ve already let the reporter prepare the news article. As soon as I make the call, the news of Pippa carrying your child will be published. By then there will be no turning back!” Nora had considered all unscrupulous methods.

“You...” Vincent collapsed into his chair and his eyes looked frosty, “What does her pregnancy have anything to do with me?”

“Of course it’s a fake pregnancy to let Leila give up on you. It’s to ensure that she is utterly disappointed with you and gives up on your relationship.”

Nora said.

“You’re vicious!” Vincent scoffed, “I’m embarrassed to have you as a mother.”

Nora made a call, “Lee? Publish the article. Publish online before nine-thirty and then publish in the newspaper at ten o’clock!”

Pippa didn’t know that Nora would do these as Nora didn’t tell her anything. She was unsure and asked, “Mom, do you really want me to be married to Vincent?”

“Of course, I like you. You are my rightful daughter-in-law but it was a pity that you’ve missed out over these years!” Nora pulled Pippa to the sofa and continued, “Son, when is the press conference? I can’t wait any longer!”

“Now!” Vincent said with his eyes closed. He would not give up like this but he couldn’t hurt Leila. He pressed the intercom and said, “Clara, immediately prepare for a press conference! Contact all the major news media!”

The news was being played in the patient’s room. After Brian contracted the sickness, he practically watched nothing but the news. He was more at peace when he watched the news perhaps, he always had this habit over the years.

A Moment in Destiny Chapter 404 Once Infatuated The convenient Bride Chapter 414: There Is Nothing Happier Than This (Ending)

Predestined Marriage Chapter 1718: The End “Dad, do you want to watch F City’s news channel?” Leila handed the remote control to him.

Brian was able to move one of his hands. Half of his body could move but the other half had lost all sensations.

He changed the channel looking for news. Suddenly a segment of entertainment news caught his attention. The news announcer said, “Now we will cover the news just announced by the White Group. The President of the White Group announced today that Pippa is his long-time mistress and she is now pregnant with his child. Now Vincent had decided to divorce Leila. A lot of citizens guess that Mayor Hunter must have fallen gravely ill after watching his daughter’s raunchy video and left the public office. Mr. White and Leila’s marriage ...”

Why did he want to divorce me? Pippa was pregnant? Leila’s mind erupted immediately! She felt as though all the blood suddenly rushed to her head and her mind went blank.

The news continued to cover the press conference.
