There was a man who wore a suit sitting opposite to her on the sofa. He looked fresh and he sent forth
a delicate fragrance of body wash. She was not dispirited like last night anymore.
Victoria felt nervous suddenly. Although they knew each other’s identities, they didn’t look face to face
so clearly yet.
She didn’t know where to look at and she didn’t dare to look at him. When she sat up from the sofa,
she found out the blanket that was covered on him last night was put over her now.
Victoria lowered her head, “You, you’re sober.”
Jayden Nelson answered her faintly.
She hurriedly stood up but tripped over the legs of table and fell back to the sofa as she stood up too
quickly. She was in a hurry, “I’ll clean up immediately.”
“Don’t be afraid of me.” He stood up and he could feel that Victoria was nervous to see him. This
awkward relationship made him uncomfortable indeed. He also felt unaccustomed to her sudden
appearance at home.
“You’re the one she found. Just stay here at ease. If you need anything just tell me and you can go out
if you feel bored to stay at home, but I hope that no one knows our relationship.”
She looked down, “I know.”
He left after he said that and he didn’t stay for breakfast.
From that day onwards, he came back home every night, but he didn’t sleep with her in the same room.
He just rested in the guest room downstairs.
Later, Victoria knew that he came back home everyday just to show Jolene Harris.
Since she was free at the daytime, she decided to work outside so she wouldn’t waste time and have a
rough time.
She was well-educated but she had no work experience before. It was still easy to find a clerical work.
After passing the interview, she started to work and she had been worked for more than two months
until now.
Jayden came back late and rested downstairs, so they almost never met each other.
Her life was productive as she was busy working and studying after back from work. She would take
notes of things that she didn’t understand in the company and look for information after having her
dinner.
This day was the same as usual. After finishing her work and dinner, she took a shower and nestled
down in her bed, looking for information.
When she was concentrated on it, she received a call from Victoria, who was the only person she
contacted and the only person who knew her whereabouts.
Her father had died and Victoria was her only family member.
“Nathan White wants to see you.”
Nathan went abroad on business as the company was expanding a project, so he needed to introduce
some equipment which were not available in China.
However, it wasn’t going well and caused some delay. He just knew something big had happened tothe
Forbis family after he returned.
The most important thing was that he couldn’t find his girlfriend, Victoria, whom he loved so much.
He had came to the Forbis family several times but Victoria said he had no ideas on Victoria’s
whereabouts and rejected him.
Once again he came to the Forbis family after he had arranged the new development projects. At that
time, he was particularly determined to ask her whereabouts. If Victoria didn’t tell him, he wouldn’t
leave and he would follow him anywhere.
Even when he went to the toilet, he had to follow him.
Victoria didn’t know what to do with him, thus he could only call his sister.
When Victoria heard his name, she was distracted for a long time, then cried uncontrollably.
She couldn’t control herself. She was aggrieved and heartbroken.
“He seemed to still have feelings to you…”
“What feelings does he have to me?” she interrupted his brother. If he cared about her and loved her,
he wouldn’t be missing and lose track of her when she needed him.
“I don’t want to see him. Don’t interact with him as the Forbis family has nothing to do with the White
family anymore.”
After saying this, Victoria hung up.
She buried her head beneath the blanket and cried loudly, “You had reneged on our promise…”
“Have you seen that? She’s not willing to see you.” Victoria looked at Nathan who was getting thinner
by the day.
“Why didn’t you look for my mother when you were in trouble? Although I wasn’t in China, she was
there…”
“Don’t say it anymore!” Victoria sneered. Once he heard of Mrs. White, he even felt disgusted with
Nathan. If Nathan didn’t mention her name, he wasn’t yet so disgusted, “Victoria had found her, but she
didn’t agree…”
“Impossible!” Nathan interrupted him. Nathan’s mother was very fond of Victoria and she was also in
favour of this marriage at that time. How could be she not willing to help when Victoria sought for help?
“If you don’t believe, just go back and ask your mother. She had personally held a press conference to
announce that the marriage was cancelled!” Victoria was angry and felt disgusted by her approach.
“She knew the Forbis family had been defeated and had no value, so she asked for our fabric
technology, but Victoria refused. Your mother soon turned hostile, she not only unwilling to help, but
also announced to break off relations in the most difficult time, making the Forbis family to face an even
worse situation. Don’t you want our fabric technology since you were close to my sister?”
“No! I love Victoria! I like her!” Nathan interrupted him, “I’ll go back and ask her now! If it’s not my
mother’s problem…”
“If it’s not her problem, I’ll chop off my head for you to sit on. You should have asked her earlier. You’re
out of Victoria’s league now as you’re the master of the White family. Victoria was nothing more than a
stray dog, just to save our family and me…”
His voice was getting softer and finally he broke down and cried.
As the saying goes, men don’t easily shed tears unless they are deeply grieved.
The Forbis family was defeated overnight. But for Victoria’s help, he would have been imprisoned, the
Forbis family would have gone and the fabric technology would have been snatched away.
As a man, he was saved by his sister.
He felt guilty.
Nathan ran away from the Forbis family and drove his car back to home.
At home, Mrs. White just returned from a facial treatment. Although she was elderly, but she looked like
a thirty-year-old woman as she was well preserved. When she saw him was in a hurry, she frowned,
“How old are you? Why are you still fussy?”
“When Victoria sought for your help as her family was in trouble, didn’t you help her?” Nathan
interrogated his mother.
Mrs. White was shocked for a while, then asked him unpleasantly, “Did you go the Forbis family
again?”
“I’m asking you now!” Nathan had never spoken so loudly to his mother. He was anxious this time.
He couldn’t believe that his mother was the kind of person like Victoria said.
Mrs. White sat down on the sofa and looked up at him, “Your father had passed away early and it’s
hard for me to support the White family alone until now. All the hardships…”
“I’m asking you whether Victoria had came to you before!” Nathan interrupted her.
“Yes!” she was getting angry as a woman could make him so anxious.
“Are you a man? Are you still my son? How dare you come and question me because of a woman?”
Nathan seemed to be struck by lightning, standing there distractingly. After a long time, he just figured it
out, “Was you on purpose when you asked me to go abroad to introduce those equipment?”
She didn’t say anything.
“Was it also your trick as my phone fell into the water?”
“You arranged people to make trouble for me when I was abroad so that you can delay me from
returning?”
Nathan continued interrogating her.
Mrs. White didn’t deny, “That’s right. At that day after Victoria’s birthday and you came back, I received
a call from Victoria, telling me that his father had passed away. No one will know how the Forbis family
is going to be after her father died as he’s the only one who is capable. Therefore, I asked you to go
abroad in order to prevent Victoria from contacting you. I pretended to drop your phone into the water
accidentally, so you could use my phone and I replaced your phone card with mine when you were
changing it. Then, I would say that I got mixed up after you left and found out that it wasn’t your phone
number. Meanwhile, I went to their house to see her father, in fact I shut down her phone and threw it
away when she was extremely grieved, so that you couldn’t contact each other.”
