Vincent glanced at him. “Loffered her money, but she declined. She wanted to return to Jacaster with me. Mr. Freeman entrusted me to care for her before his passing 1 felt responsible for her disappearance during the mission last year. Now that she has returned, I must ensure her well being. I will find a suitable position for her in Fletcher group.”

Joseph remembered that Nancy’s father, Hayden, was an artificial intelligence expert at Storm Corps.

During a mission, Hayden blocked a bullet for Vincent and died. He requested that Vincent take care of Nancy before his passing.

Hence, he could understand why Villicent took Nancy back to Jacaster.

Joseph suggested, “Alright. If she’s not used to working in Fletcher Group, she can also work in my company.”

Vincent nodded. “Hmm”

Stephanie and Vincent had been having daily video calls. After a week, Stephanie arrived at the private airport early to eagerly await his arrival.

The private jet smoothly landed and came to a halt. Once the boarding ladder was lowered, they disembarked from the aircraft.

At first, Stephanie wanted to give Vincent a big hug if only Vincent and Zone were there

However, upon laying her eyes on Vincent and Zane, along with Joseph, Willow, and an unfamiliar woman, she dropped the idea.

She walked over happily, smiling “you’re back!”

Vincent held her hand. “Yeah, I’m back”

Zane greeted Nancy respectfully, “Mrs. Fletcher.”

Joseph and Willow also greeted Stephanie.

Vincent turned to look at Joseph. “I go back to Tranquil Garden with Stephie, Drive Nancy back to the condominium on Eastwood Boulevard.”

Joseph acknowledged. “Okay.”

Hearing this, Stephanie assumed that the condominium must belong to Vincent. Clearly, he had a special bond with this woman to allow her to reside in

his home.

Therefore, she couldn’t help but take a look at Nancy.

Simultaneously, Nancy glanced over at Stephanie, and their eyes met.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Nancy,” said Nancy with a smile.

Stephanie nodded. “Nice to meet you. I’m Stephanie.”

Vincent looked at Stephanie. “Let’s go home.”

“Okay!” After bidding farewell to the others, Stephanie steered Vincent’s wheelchair toward the car.

Willow exclaimed as she watched them walk away. “Mr. Fletcher and Stephanie are truly a perfect match!”

Joseph teased, “Is it because of talent?”

Willow replied, “Tsk. I’m superficial. They’re both attractive.”

Joseph was speechless.

Nancy’s lips pursed as she watched Vincent and Stephanie get into the car and leave.

She wondered, ‘Are they a perfect match? They don’t match at alll Vincent deserves someone better than her

Willow nudged Nancy with her elbow. “Do you think they are a perfect match?”

Nancy forced a smile Yes… They are a perfect match?

As Vincent car disappeared from view, Joseph grabbed his bag and exclaimed, “Let’s go.”

Vincent placed Stephanie on his lap in the black Rolls–Royce Ghost, holding her slender waist.

The posture was a bit awkward and ambiguous. Stephanie placed her hands on his well–built chest.

Vincent’s hands enveloped her waist as he gently stroked it. “Do you miss me?”

“No,” replied Stephanie.

“Really?” asked Vincent.

Stephanie fiddled with the buttons of his shirt. “Yeah. I don’t think you missed me either.”

Vincent was surprised: “Why do you think so?”

“How could you possibly miss me when you have such a stunning companion?” Stephanie snorted and poked his abdomen.

Vincent’s expression remained unchanged, but Stephanie quickly noticed that the spot she poked felt like it was covered with a soft cloth.

She unfastened the button and noticed a gauze covering Vincent’s stomach.

“What happened?” Stephanie asked in surprise. Upon removing the gauze, she discovered a scar measuring one inch in length.

She frowned. “Did you get stabbed? Did you encounter an attack? So this is the reason why you came back two days late? Why didn’t you mention it when we spoke on the phone!”

Stephanie’s eyes turned red due to feeling distressed and angry.

Vincent grasped her hand and reassured her, “I’m fine.”

“Answer my question first,” instructed Stephanie.

Vincent smiled helplessly. “Don’t be angry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have kept it from you.”

“Then tell me! I want to hear the truth!” exclaimed Stephanie

At first, Vincent hesitated to reveal the truth to Stephanie. He feared that once she found out, she would constantly worry every time he had to leave.

But, because of the current situation, he had to tell her.

“Have you ever heard of Storm Corps?” asked Vincent.

Stephanie nodded. “Yes, I’ve heard of it. This organization is dedicated to combating human and organ trafficking with a strong sense of justice. I’ve also heard that the leader of this organization is an old man standing at six and a half feet tall.”

“Old man!” inquired Vincent.

Stephanie affirmed, “That’s what I heard.”

Vincent smiled. “I’m that old man.”

Stephanie exclaimed with surprise, “Are you Storm?”

“Yes.” Vincent confirmed

“So you went abroad this time to handle the organization matters?” asked Stephanie.

87%

Vincent nodded. “Skull Corps has abducted a total of 115 women and children. After an extensive search, we have finally located their main hideout, and now it’s time to execute a thorough operation. Skull Corps has trained a children’s army, and I was stabbed by one of the children, I didn’t want to worry you, so I didn’t tell you”

“This injury could affect the intestines,” remarked Stephanie.

Vincent smiled. “I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt anymore. Don’t worry.”

As Stephanie gazed at the broad scar, a pang of pain pierced her heart. T’m not worried. How did you deal with the children’s army?”

Vincent explained, “We took them back to the base for further education, but it will take a long time. After all, they have been brainwashed by Skull Corps. I have explained everything clearly. Can you forgive me now?”

Stephanie exclaimed, “No! You haven’t brought up the woman named Nancy yet!”

Vincent immediately understood that Stephanie was jealous. He explained, “Her name is Nancy Freeman. Her father was shot to death to save me. Before he passed away, he entrusted me with taking care of her. Last year, during a mission, Nancy was missing. We searched for her for a long time but failed, so we all thought she was dead. Little did we know, she reappeared as a senior leader of Skull Corps during our current mission. However, the senior leaders of Storm Corp no longer trust her, so she decided to work in Jacaster. Then I hired her to work for Fletcher Group and gave her the Eastwood Boulevard condominium as a way to repay Mr. Freeman for saving my life.”

Stephanie pouted, “Oh, it seems that I was blaming

for no reason just now.”

Vincent smiled. “No, you’re adorable. I like it when y

you get jealous.”

Stephanie retorted, “I didn’t-”

Vincent silenced her with a passionate kiss, his fingers entwined in the back of her head, consuming the rest of her words.

He kissed her lips, then moved down to suck on her collarbone before resting his forehead against hers, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “Stephanie, can I have it today?”
