Chapter 844
Spoiled by the President
In the future, would Gregory use Vickie just like he was Yuliana to accomplish his goals?
Once someone had broken his principles for the first time, he would break them for the second time. Then, he would continue the act countless times.
Vickie dared not to imagine. She refused to imagine what would happen in the future.
She had mixed feelings about the whole situation. As such, she did not eat much during lunch.
She had thought of stopping Gregory.
However, putting aside the fact that Yuliana volunteered, Gregory might not appreciate Vickieâs presence at all. Apart from that, she could not go to Hudsonâs wedding without an invitation letter.
As such, Vickie gave up on that thought.
After she finished her lunch, she invited Massimo over to chat with him.
When Massimo arrived, Vickie was drinking tea at the cloister behind the courtyard.
When she saw Massimo, she waved at him. âCome and have a taste of my freshly brewed tea.â
Massimo smiled and walked toward her. After he sat down, he picked up the tea that Vickie had poured for him and took a sip.
âNot bad, your tea brewing skills are still as good as always.â
Vickie smiled.
She could not think of a reason why Gregory had changed so much. That was why she invited Massimo over to find out the answer.
She spent the last four years in prison. As such, she did not know much about what Gregory had experienced throughout those four years.
However, Massimo was different.
The Nolans were a regular business group which differed from the Grahams.
However, Massimo and Gregory were best friends ever since they were kids. As such, it would not be an overstatement to call them hardcore brothers.
At that moment, she did not believe that Massimo would not know anything about why Gregory would make that decision.
As she thought of this, her eyes darkened.
Massimo knew that Gregory was not at home today. He also knew that Vickie would not have called him out of the blue.
As such, after he finished drinking his tea, he cut straight to the chase and asked, âTell me, what do you want to know?â
Vickie looked at him with a solemn expression and asked, âHowâd you know that I wanted to ask you something when I invited you over?â
Massimo laughed nonchalantly.
âBoth you and Gregory have the same type of personality. Both of you would never reach out to someone unless you have a goal in mind. If there wasnât anything that you wanted from me, you wouldnât have called me over at this moment.â
He stopped for a while before making a wild guess. âIs it about Gregory?â
Vickie had no intention to hide anything from him and nodded her head.
Massimoâs expression became solemn in an instant.
He thought for a while and sighed.
âNow, this makes things awkward between us. One is my brother while the other is my friend. If you ask anything thatâs inconvenient for me to say, should I tell you the answer or not? Iâll offend one side either way.â
However, Vickie did not flinch when she heard his response. On the contrary, a grin appeared on her face.
âAre you insinuating that heâs indeed hiding something from me?â
Massimo froze in shock.
After a while, he came back to his senses and began to laugh.
He pointed at Vickie and shook his head. He then laughed. âYouâre still as clever as ever. I havenât even said anything, yet you were able to find your answer by reading between the lines.â
He stopped and put on a stern expression. He then said, âDid anything happen between you and Gregory?â
Vickie thought for a while.
She realized that she could not hide some things from Massimo if she wanted to get more information from him.
As such, she did not beat around the bush and told him everything about Yuliana.
After Massimo listened to everything, he did not express any surprise at all.
Just as she thought, Massimo had already known about Gregoryâs plan a long time ago.
At that moment, neither of them uttered a single word.
Vickie stayed silent because she was waiting for Massimoâs answer.
Massimo stayed silent because he was considering whether to tell Vickie the truth. In other words, he was thinking about how to convey the truth to Vickie.
After a while, he had made his decision.
After all, Massimo could not hide the truth from Vickie forever.
He had to tell her the truth sooner or later.
As such, he did not hesitate anymore. He sighed and said, âAlright, Iâll tell you the truth since youâre so desperate to know about it. However, you have to think about it by yourself after I tell you everything. Donât let your recklessness ruin your relationship with Gregory forever.â
Vickie did not answer. She did not agree nor disagree with Massimo's request.
She said, âTell me everything first.â
After seeing her response, Massimo knew that Vickie had her own plans. He had no say in her own personal matters.
As such, he had no choice but to tell her everything.
âTo be frank, itâs not as complicated as it may seem.
âFour years ago, war broke out between the Vermillion Bird Organization and the Dragon Regiment. The Vermillion Bird Organization has since vanished from the business field. On the surface, the Dragon Regiment was the ultimate winner.
âHowever, the Dragon Regiment also suffered from huge losses as a result of the war. They might have won, but at what cost?
âEveryone thought that they could finally find some peace and quiet after the war.
âHowever, the Dragon Regiment was unexpectedly attacked shortly after the war.
âThe attackers had a lot of power, and the odds were in their favor. If the assault happened before the war, the Dragon Regiment would have nothing to fear. However, the Dragon Regiment was severely injured after the war. As such, they couldnât endure another attack.
âThe Dragon Regiment was at its weakest point. The opponents knew that the Dragon Regiment couldnât recover from the previous war. As such, they took this opportunity to attack the Dragon Regiment.
âAt last, the Dragon Regiment was torn apart.
âEven under Gregoryâs guidance, which managed to stabilize the remaining forces, the war still inflicted a lot of damage toward the Dragon Regiment.
As such, the Dragon Regiment hasnât managed to recover until now.
âAnd what kind of person is Gregory?
âHeâs the type of person whoâll never allow himself to suffer in silence.
âHe secretly found out that the attack was instructed by someone.
âSo, he sent agents to investigate in secret. At last, the clues point toward the Flinders.
âHowever, nobody knows about this matter as even Gregory isnât sure about the authenticity of his claims. All he knows is that the Flinders have been encroaching on the Grahamsâ territory.
âIf he doesnât retaliate as soon as possible, then thereâll be no escape route for him.
âEven if he isnât thinking for himself, he still has to consider the livelihoods of the thousands of comrades who are following him.
âThatâs why taking over the Flinders is something inevitable.â
Massimo took a deep sigh after he said all of that.
He looked at Vickie and said, âI know that life has been hard for you for the past four years. However, Gregory has had it hard as well. Not only has he gone through multiple assassination attempts, but he also has to work hard to settle business matters.
âThe Flinders arenât as simple as they may seem. They might be low-profile, but they might be stronger than the famous Bauhinias. The Dragon Regiment may still have power alongside the Grahams from China. However, the power that they hold is nothing when compared to the Flinders that Spoiled by the President ï¤Chapter 843 Not a Tool Wrong Ride, Right Lover ï¤Chapter 1980 Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

âVick, have you ever seen hundred-year-old trees before? On the surface, the hundred-year-old tree might look like a normal tree that possesses a slightly thicker trunk than the others. Once the storm arrives, youâll realize that all the other trees have already fallen down. However, the hundred-
year-old tree is the only tree that remains standing.â
