Chapter 845

“You’ve only seen the tree trunk that was exposed on the surface, but you didn’t see how deep, long, and dense the roots have grown underground.

Now, you’ll need to be stronger than a storm to shake the tree. However, do you have that strength? No.

“I can say that unless the Chinese Association, Bauhinias, and Dragon Regiment join forces together, no one can shake the foundations of the Flinders in this world. However, do you think that they can join forces?

“It’s impossible, isn’t it? The Dragon Regiment is like an ant when faced with the Flinders.

“It might be ridiculous for an ant to even attempt shaking a tree, but it’s not entirely impossible with good planning and opportunities. There’s an important opportunity that’s hard to come by right in front of Gregory right now. If he manages to grasp that opportunity, then he can achieve his goal by using half the effort. Nobody will give up on that opportunity, let alone Gregory.”

After listening to Massimo’s speech, Vickie became silent.

She did not know Gregory had put in so much thought before making his decision.

Why had Gregory chosen not to tell Vickie everything?

He knew that as long as he told her everything, she would have understood him. If he told her about his pain, she would have supported him.

He could have let her know that he was not the type of person who would throw away his principles just to gain profit.

She would have known that he had only made that decision out of desperation after getting pushed into a corner. She would have known it was an act of self-defense.

Why did he not say anything?

Massimo saw that Vickie’s expression had changed. He said, “Don’t you know that Yuliana was unaware of his intentions, yet she still agreed to his plans anyway? Have you ever wondered why?”

Vickie raised her head and looked at Massimo.

He was laughing at himself. “Maybe you thought that it was due to Yuliana's love for Gregory. Love can make a woman lose herself and do something that she’d never do in the past. Vick, you’d do something like that, but not Yuliana.”

Vickie was shocked.

The smile on Massimo’s face turned bitter.

“Vick, you might seem like a cold person, but you’re a person who highly values loyalty and relationships. In your heart, nothing is more important than those two things. However, in the eyes of some people, relationships are decided based on which relationship would bring them the most profit after weighing the pros and cons.

“Indeed, Yuliana may really like Gregory. Her feelings toward him might be true as well. However, the reason why she agreed to his request is definitely not because she has nowhere else to go.

“I know that Gregory has brought this matter up with Yuliana before. Gregory told her that he won’t allow Yuliana to stay by his side because he already has someone that he likes. He gave Yuliana two options. Either he would send her back to China so that she could pave her own future, or she could go to Shimon’s side.

“Try to guess her answer.”

Vickie froze as she was at a complete loss for words.

Massimo smiled coldly. “She chose Shimon.”

Vickie’s eyebrows wrinkled. “Why? Isn’t she...”

“Doesn’t she love Gregory? Why would she willingly go to another man’s side, especially when she knows that the other man doesn’t have pure intentions?”

Massimo shook his head. “I’ve already told you that not everyone views relationships as important as you do. She may truly love Gregory, but there’s no hope with Gregory. He has told her that he’ll never love her back and that he won’t let her stay by his side. If that’s the case, why wouldn’t she look for the next best choice that would benefit her the most? Shimon might be old, but his looks and background are way above Yuliana’s league.”

Vickie was shocked.

She realized that she was too naive after listening to Massimo’s analysis.

The beliefs that she had protected for so long were actually that worthless in the eyes of some people.

She could not process the complex feelings in her heart for a while. After thinking about what she had said to Gregory the day before, she was absolutely heartbroken.

Massimo had already said everything he wanted to say. After seeing Vickie’s facial expression, he knew that she had listened to his every word.

His eyes darkened. He then sighed as he stood up.

He looked at her and said, “Vick, I shouldn’t be saying this, but I can’t help it after seeing the both of you being in an on-again, off-again relationship.”

He stopped talking and waited until Vickie raised her head to look at him. Then, he said, “Both of you are cruel people. Life is short. You might never know if you get to live to see another day. If you truly love the other person, why not put down all your misunderstandings and prejudice so that both of you can live happily ever after? In this world, there are a lot of lovers who have been separated for various reasons. Sadly, most of them bring that regret to their graves. However, both of you grew up together. As such, no one understands the two of you better than yourselves. Why would you let misunderstandings occur between the two of you?”

Vickie was at a loss for words. Then, her eyes suddenly reddened.

After Massimo finished speaking, he decided that he should not stay any longer. He then said, “Think over it properly.”

Then, he turned around and left.

After Massimo left, Vickie did not move at all. She just kept sitting there in the cloister.

She thought for a long time.

Vickie started reminiscing about her past as memories began to flow just like a gust of wind.

She felt as if she had returned to the past when she could see a righteous boy smiling at her.

“Yes, I’m the person who understands him the most!’ thought Vickie.

“Why did the two of us become the people that we are today?

“We’re supposed to be the closest people in this world. We should be facing every difficulty in life together. We should trust each other without possessing ill feelings toward each other. Why would we continue letting our thorns harm each other?’

Vickie covered her face as tears rolled down from her eyes.

Gregory returned at night.

After he returned, he stopped for a while and found out that the lights in Vickie’s room, which was on the second floor, were still on.

Gregory looked at his watch to check the time. It was already 11 p.m.

Was it because she was still mad at him?

Spoiled by the President Chapter 844 A Ridiculous Attempt Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Maybe she was mad at him for not listening to her advice even after all that talking. After all, he did bring Yuliana to the wedding on his own accord.

As he thought of this, he laughed at himself.

She was the type of person to remain pure even if she was surrounded by the most corrupted humans on earth. Nobody would have the heart to defile her.

Since she was angry, then it would be best for him to avoid her.

At any rate, he should leave her alone for the next few days before speaking to her.

As he thought of this, he started to walk upstairs silently.

However, he was stopped in his tracks.

He raised his head and saw a familiar yet petite silhouette waiting for him at the top of the stairs.

She was sitting in a wheelchair as she looked at him with a deep gaze. Her gaze made Gregory’s heart skip a beat as if it had lost control.
