After finished saying this, Sarah stood up and personally made a cup of tea.
She seemed to be skilled in the tea ceremony. There was a tea set in front of her. After a few of her
smooth movements, she handed a cup of tea to Travis Armstrong.
“I was delayed for a long time due to heavy road traffic. Mr. Armstrong, have a cup of tea to quench
your thirst.”
She seemed to be very polite as she smiled at him when he drank the tea.
“I think you have probably guessed that I’m looking for you because of something, but I should still
introduce myself. My name is Sarah and my father is operating his business in the United States. I was
just recognized by him two years ago as I’m her illegitimate daughter… As for Mr. Armstrong, I’ve also
investigated your past. The reason why I would pay attention to you was because I’ve been
investigating Jayson Mathis and I found a hint which he has been looking for someone to deal with you.
Since you’re his enemy, I think that it’s necessary for me to meet you.”
Travis had a sip of scented tea and felt that it was nice indeed. He looked at her and asked her
tentatively, “What do you want to ask me? I’ll tell you the truth and I can listen to it if you want me to do
something.”
“I want to know why Jayson is trying to put you to death by every possible means? What exactly have
you done as he don’t want you to continue living in this world?”
Once she finished asking this, he started to laugh.
“Didn’t you guess it? You had written in the letter that you wanted to talk with me about James Ellis.
Thus, Jayson is definitely dealing with me because of James.”
When Travis said this, her hands clenched up and her expression looked upset. She spoke in an
urgent tone.
“Mr. Armstrong, please tell me how much do you know about James.”
“Ms.Duran, I’ve a hunch that you probably hate Jayson. I don’t mind telling you the truth as he is also
my enemy… He wants to put me to death because I had witnessed him killing James…”
Then, Travis told his story which happened ten years ago.
After he finished telling his story, her tears fell down. She suddenly lowered her head and she looked
emotional.
“Mr. Armstrong, I’m in a bad mood now. I’m sorry as I need some time to myself.”
She suddenly stood up and left the living room after she said this.
Travis just stayed in the living room. In fact, he had understood that the person she cared about was
James.
He didn’t know the exact relationship between her and James, but it was nothing more than adoration,
liking and lovesickness between a man and a woman.
As for the extent of their relationship, he didn’t know about it.
He waited quietly for her to calm her emotions. After about ten minutes, she just returned to the living
room and sat down.
Perhaps she had just washed her face as her eyes were red, but there were no more tears on her face.
“Mr. Armstrong, I’m sorry as I lost control of myself just now. Actually I’ve guessed earlier that James’s
death might have something to do with Jayson. I’ve been investigating Jayson in these years, trying to
see when he will give the game away, but I didn’t find any clues about his death. Instead, I investigated
that he is dealing with a person in China. It took me a lot of efforts to find out this clue. After I received
this news, my intuition told me that I should meet you as you may tell me the truth that I’ve always
wanted to know.”
He laughed resignedly.
“Yes, your intuition is right. I had become a beggar in these ten years, wandering around and didn’t
know anything. I was like a fool demented for ten years of life. When everything was getting back to
normal, he tried to ask someone to kill me again. My grandmother passed away and I also lost my
girlfriend. Ms.Duran, I can see that you want to take revenge for James and I also want to revenge on
Jayson. You can just ask for my help if you need help when you’re taking revenge. I’ve nothing to care
anymore and I don’t care even if it costs me my life as long as I can revenge on him.”
She felt a little excited as she didn’t expect that he would straight away bring up the idea of cooperation
before she even mentioned it.
“Mr. Armstrong, I really have the intention to cooperate with you and I want to revenge for James as I
don’t want him to just die in vain, let a person who is rapacious to inherit the properties of the Ellis
family. However, Mr.Ellis is already lying on the bed while Amelie Ellis doesn’t trust me, I don’t know
where to start to deal with him since he is in a position of power now.”
Travis made a suggestion for her.
“I wonder if Ms.Duran had investigated how many people he had provoked with the things he had done
these few times. He had almost dealt with my friend, Georgia Lane and her boyfriend, Robert Simpson.
You might know the Simpson family, so you can find a way to ally with them Simpson family and I’ll also
help in this. If we do it together, it won’t be a problem to defeat him. I’m the eyewitness, but Amelie may
not believe… However, there will definitely have some flaws in the Ellis family which is certainly
something that Jayson cannot control alone and we can also try to get Brenton Ellis to wake up, then
tell him the truth so that he’ll call the shots.”
“Did you mean Robert?” I do have a plan to discuss with him, but I think that it needs your help to start
on it. After going back, you tell Mr. Simpson this contact number and I want to talk to him personally if
he is willing to work with me.”
Travis nodded and took the slip of paper handed over by her which the contact number was written on
it.
Afterwards, she started to ask him curiously.
“Mr. Armstrong, I’ve something to ask you about Gigi and Robert.”
He looked at her and nodded. Then, she continued to speak again.
“I found out that you and Gigi were couple ten years ago, but you had disappeared and became a
beggar for ten years, then two of you broke off contact and she also stay together with Robert now. If a
few of us work together, will there be any hidden risks in your relationship with both of them? I know
this question is a bit presumptuous, but I really worried that something will go wrong here if we
cooperate as emotional issues are the most heartbreaking.”
He looked at her and he smiled.
“In this world, it’s not necessary to be with her even I like her… What she had suffered these years isn’t
much better than me. Now she has found her happiness and I’m not capable of giving her happiness,
so I just hope that they can live happily and joyously together. Even though I’m still jealous and want to
snatch her away from him, but I’m no longer qualified as I’ve no power and authority. I have nothing
now. How do I protect her?”
After he said this, Sarah showed a despondent smile.
“Mr. Armstrong, you’re really a good person. If you could have seen James earlier, I wonder if he would
have died unjustly back then.”
Travis felt sorry for him.
“At that time I arrived, there were several people over there. Even if I acted bravely, I still couldn’t save
him actually. Ms.Duran, although I don’t know your relationship with James, he would be very happy if
he knows that you have been revenging for him until now.”
She smiled sorrowfully, then stood up and pushed his wheelchairs out of the door.
It was noon and his car returned to the hospital.
Robert had been waiting for him to return and he started to talk with him once Travis returned to the
ward.
Travis told him all the things that he had talked with Sarah just now.
“I think if she and James were not couple, at least she seemed to fond of him and wanted to revenge
for him. Hence, she wants to ask you if you’re willing to work with her. This is the contact information
she gave me.”
Travis handed the slip of paper to him and he nodded.
“I get it. I’ll contact her. Travis, I’m going to get married with Gigi. Will you attend our wedding?”
Travis was shocked, then he smiled bitterly and gave his blessing.
“I sincerely blessed two of you. When is your wedding scheduled for?”
“The twenty-fifth of next month is an auspicious day. Although it seems to a bit rushed, I’ve set this date
as this wedding has to be held by my father for some reasons. I’ve also discussed it with Gigi and I
hope that you will come to attend.”
“Yes, I’ll. Before that, Annie will have done her surgery as well, so your wedding will be just perfect.”
Robert left after finished speaking, but Travis was caught in a bad mood.
He knew clearly that they would get married, but it still made him upset when he heard it with his own
ears.
He had lived a muddled life for ten years and now it was just like he awoke from his sleep. He still loved
that maiden, but she had been separated from him for ten years.
It was ten years…
There was no chance between them at all.
In the next few days, since Gigi had promised his proposal, she had to choose the style of wedding
dress she preferred even though everything could be prepared by Robert’s father.
She had chosen her wedding dress. After trying it on that day, she chose a dress with sloping
shoulders, which looked playful and lovely.
However, apart from wedding dress, there were still other things such as choosing toast clothing and
wedding flowers, organizing an outdoor wedding or church wedding, deciding the style of invitation
cards and which friends to be invited.
Robert’s father let her to make all the final decisions when it came to the matters involving the bride.
Finally, she settled on the style she preferred after she had been busy for two or three days.
It was Saturday and Annie would have to undergo surgery tomorrow. Annie was already staying inside
the hospital the night before. Gigi accompanied her and told stories to her until she fell asleep.
The next morning, almost everyone came to Annie’s room and cheered for her.
She was nervous and so was Gigi. Vanessa Cooke and Elsie Clarke were staying beside her. Elsie
who seemed to be a little childish would tell some jokes sometimes and it made Annie laugh every
time.
However, the worry in her mind couldn’t be dispelled even though there was a tremendous amount of
joy.
After about an hour, Annie was sent into the operating theatre. Gigi didn’t do anything and she could
only wait anxiously outside.
However, before Annie’s surgery was over, she found that her phone rang. Surprisingly, the one who
called her was Miranda.
