His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 344 - Accusing Her?

Metro Palace Hotel

Inside Zaijan's hotel suite, the men gather after Carl, Rodney, James, and Pitt meet up with Bruce at the jailhouse where Eva and Zenaida were imprisoned.

Later on, Bruce, Keith, Tom, and Hansen joined them to discuss the issue.

Eva Lan's death was all over the news last night, but no one dared to tell Hailee. Everyone made sure no one spoke up, even the maid, until Vincent, who would inform Hailee.

In the middle of their discussion, their phones receive a notification.

"The princess posted on her Instagram."

"It looks like she hasn't heard about it yet."

"God, hope no one of these followers brought up Eva's death!" said Pitt worriedly..

He has the urge to drive back to the mansion, but he remembers he is not the one Hailee needs on her side, and there is already the rightful man to that role.

Now, they are all the side characters in her life. However, it doesn't mean they would not do things for her. He would not just sit around, thought Pitt.

"What are you going to do now, Chairman Lopez?" he asked Zaijan.

"I already spoke with Aunt Hilda. We will have a family meeting the moment they arrive."

"Then that is mean?" James had the idea already, but he wanted to hear all the details.

"They will head straight here," Rodney answered James' query.

Hansen, who remained quiet in his seat, got up and said, "I better go back to the mansion. Janise is worried too."

"I'll come with you, Hansen. Gigi had less sleep last night checking out the news, and she is worried that someone might involve Hailee with this," said Tom.

"Alright. I will order my bodyguards to escort you guys." Zaijan offered. He was speaking particularly at Hansen.

After Hansen and Janise's relationship becomes official, the Lopez Clan welcomes him as part of the family now.

"Thanks, Zayn. Keep us updated."

Zaijan nodded. His eyes shifted toward Tom. "Vincent spoke to me on the phone. After Hailee found out about Eva's death, he wanted Hailee to go back to Australia to avoid the issue."

"That was actually the best. She must stay away from these dramas. Even though she and Vincent are innocent, both of them are still being pointed out." Tom stated.

"Liam killed Eva, and he did that because of Hailee. Some people will involve Vincent as Eva's ex-husband." Carl heaves a deep sigh while expressing this.

"That guy would not stop troubling Hailee if he stays alive."

Every man in that room looked at James after he made that statement. He curled his lips and raised one brow upward.

"What? Do you think I am just joking?" he said.

"And do you think the princess would live in peace?" Pitt quickly countered his crazy thoughts.

"But I am willing to kill that guy, and I am just holding back for that reason." Somehow, it made him depressed, and he was really willing to assassinate Liam with all of his connections.

But Hailee finds out about this, the reason he was taken out as her private bodyguard. Hailee appointed him as one of her directors. Since then, he has been stuck in Dream City.

He honestly doesn't care if he put the law in his hands. That guy irritates him so much.

"Stop right there, man." Tom tapped James' shoulder. "Let's do it in legal ways. But who says we can't go rough?"

James understood what Tom was trying to tell him. Of course, he had already phoned someone to beat Liam if they found a great opportunity.

There are people far worse than Liam in that prison, which killing is a business for them. Liam is only losing screws in his head because of his love for the princess.

He was ruthless because of his jealousy and insanity. The princess never likes this kind of behavior.

In the meantime, people were drawn toward Sheena's post, which has become a trending topic in social media.

The netizen has even feasted after Hailee posted a photo of her and Vince with a caption,

"Stranger to Lovers"

"It will never cross your mind that a few minutes of interaction with the stranger you meet in the street is the twin mate you have been waiting for all your life."

"Don't forget to watch our documentary series. In this film, there will be a lot of revelations that will answer questions."

Many critics reposted and gave their opinion regarding Hailee's post. People who didn't know that Vincent was married once and didn't learn that Hailee became the mistress after the agreement was in great bafflement if there was a meaning behind the post.

And to people in Metro City who knew about the affair now very curious to discover the mystery lingering in this relationship.

In a cafe, a group of socialites meets up for early shopping at the Metro City Garden. They are those women who have nothing to do but waste their money on unnecessary stuff.

"Who do you think murdered Eva? It is impossible just to have a prison fight."

A girl in a red dress brought up the news. Then, a girl wearing a pink sundress replied, "Do you think that possibly because she didn't want a divorce?"

"Oh, my gosh! Is that true?" A girl, wearing a black dress, is busy reapplying a red lipstick on her Botox lips, chimed in.

"Everyone knows… Zenaida said it one time she encountered Miss Davies at the Shen Group lobby." The red dress girl blurted out.

"What was the reason Eva didn't want to sign the divorce? They never live as a married couple, and more likely, Eva married Vincent to get money." Someone scoffed at the jealous girls.

"Why do you say that?" asked one.

"Do you know how much allowance Eva had a month after she married Vincent?"

"How much is it?" The other four girls keenly listen to their friend spill the tea.

"One million in our currency."

"That was just a month, right?" Suddenly they were daydreaming and imagined that what if they were the ones who married Vincent?

"I think I don't mind if he has another woman as long as he will buy me those famous brands of bags and clothes."

"Are you an idiot? Why would you like that kind of role? You are the legal wife."

"Like Vincent loves Eva? We all know it was just an arranged marriage, and that is why I am saying this."

"Pam is right, Mia. Everyone knew Vincent had just married Eva to save from rumors that he was not straight. Why do you think Eva never shows up in Metro City? She was ashamed. Huh. So I was never envious that she got to marry Vincent."

"Really?" Pam raised one eyebrow. "Eva also received a really nice car and yacht. Did you see her posts? She always hits the south coast with her yacht!"

"Oh, well. I am a little jealous, but not totally. Look at what happened to her now?" the girl in a red dress scoffs. "She has a cold body now. Do you think Miss Davies who ordered to the murder of her?"

"What is her reason?"

There is a possibility, but Hailee Davies would really waste her time? She is super rich and super beautiful than Eva, and she has everything! The jealous women had this in their minds.

"Well, who knows?"

"Have you guys forgotten? The Lan family helped Senator Gu orchestrate Mr. Shen's accident!"

"Could they be after how much Eva got if she became a widow?"

The five girls shared meaningful gazes. Vincent Shen is a billionaire, and if Eva did not inherit Vince's company, then at least she would receive a generous amount from Shen. Possibility of shares in all of Vincent's investments and assets.

Meanwhile, while the five girls were engrossed in gossiping, they didn't notice the two men at the next table keenly listening to them.

These men are paparazzi who are thirsty to dig Vincent Shen's skeleton in his closet. They were working hard to mingle with high society circles to get interesting news about him, and the gossip they caught this morning was something big.

Shen Mansion

Hailee quickly pressed her back into Vince's body once he sat down behind her on the floor. Vincent leaned his back on the sofa.

He placed his arms around Hailee's waist, quickly pressing her body into his after finding a perfect sitting position. His lips curled into a smile, placing a kiss on her temple.

He honestly acts childish for a moment. He only wants Hailee's attention on him while the babies aren't coming out yet because their attention will be divided once they are given birth.

On the other hand, Hailee was only distracting herself why she's playing with the dogs because if she and Vince were alone again, she was afraid that she would tempt him again.

Her hormones are driving her crazy lately, and it really makes her sex drive go insanely active.

"So, what is the important matter you wanted us to talk about?" she asked Vince afterward.

Vincent studied the atmosphere first. Everything was perfect at the moment, and Eva's death was terrible news.

Hailee was patiently waiting for Vincent to begin. When he remained silent, she glanced over her shoulder and stared at Vince.

"What's wrong?" she could see the hesitancy in Vincent's eyes. The thrill she felt vanished when Vince looked at her with worries.

"Eva died last night."

It shocked her. Hailee wanted to believe that she heard wrong. But Vincent's gaze tells her it is related to her.

"Are they accusing me?"
