His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 425 - Caught Him

Tina couldn't stand how stern Vincent was casting a haughty glare at her after speaking up. She could sense that Vincent was only suppressing his anger, and so Tina couldn't raise her head to meet the male boss's intent gaze.

"What happened?!"

Tina could feel a chill down her spine that caused her to continue shivering. She opened her mouth, but nothing would come out because of the fright lingering in her heart.

"Look at me!" Vincent yelled. He no longer could control his emotion but lost himself when it came to his wife.

Tina quickly lifted her head and met Vincent's fierce eyes, staring at her. She could only stutter her words, but she did her best to explain.

"Mr. Shen… I have been regularly reporting everything to Mrs. Shen. But in these passing days, I am limiting the information I am giving her as per your instruction. I don't know who… It seemed like Mrs. Shen received a message regarding this morning's matter. The missus forced me to tell her the truth. I tried my best to lie to her; however, she didn't believe me. She wanted to find out the truth herself. So she insisted on going to the company. But then… She started bleeding and then…." Tina could not continue further as tears filled her eyes.

Vincent darkened his face like he wanted to kill at this moment upon remembering those men's faces. There would be no issue if they did not gossip in the lobby.

However, he is partly blaming himself. He already knew that news would reach his wife. Still, he is careless and explodes in front of the executives. He could simply ignore them; however, he was provoked when they openly talked about his wife.

"Are the messages still on her phone?" asked Vincent. He mainly looks at Pitt and James, believing these men already did something.

"We better confiscate Hailee's gadgets. I did everything and used all my knowledge in tracking someone's IP address. However, an advanced system heavily protected it, and I cannot catch who sent those messages."

It was James who answered Vincent. Since he was an expert in computers aside from being a retired Air Force, IT jobs are really his expertise.

However, the sender uses a unique address that cannot trace. So now they cannot avoid thinking whether they consider the sender as the enemy or simply Hailee's eyes hidden in the shadows.

Vincent thought that his heartfelt even heavier listening to James' explanation. Hailee has several people working secretly for her that even the closest knights do not know.

"Can't we do more about it?" Vincent queried. He is sure they could find a solution even if they have to pass through a needle's hole.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Shen." Tina didn't stop apologizing. She felt highly responsible for her lady boss' critical condition.

Vincent waves his hand, gesturing at Tina. He could not blame her, as she tried to do her job. Besides, he instructed Tina not to report unnecessary things, such as what happened this morning.

James and Pitt stayed silent as they were pondering a plan to catch the person who messages Hailee.

"There's someone who could help us. We should contact Sandy. He could have access better than me." James admitted his shortcomings.

Vincent took a glance at James. He meets Sandy for the first time during Give-Away Night with Hailee's knights.

Sandy stayed at Dream City for days to ensure the security of the city's perimeter and monitored the entire area for a possible threat caused by Liam's people or the other group that had a plan to trouble the wonderful event of his and Hailee's life.

Vincent learned Sandy was in charge of blocking any news regarding Hailee staying in P Country. It was Sandy's work, why all the trending gossip about his and Hailee's affair would suddenly disappear without him giving an order to take it down.

Before Vincent thought whether to remove that gossip or let it die down on its own, Hailee did something about it already because she had Sandy eliminate those sites on the face of the internet world in just seconds.

Vincent inhaled, then breathed out. He nodded at James, agreeing with the plan. It was the best thing to do at this moment since they should not bother Hailee asking who reported the incident this morning.

Also, they were sure she would not share this person's identity.

"Wait… Even though we can contact Sandy, we still have a problem." James told Pitt.

Pitt realized this matter as well. He turned his head to Vincent and said,

"Vincent, you should be the one to make a call, Master Shun. Sandy would not listen to our request unless it had permission from the master. Sandy only regarded the princess' order."

Vincent nodded at Pitt. He took off his coat and dropped it on the single couch before he strode toward the window and dialed Shun's phone number.

Mainland City, C Country

At the moment…

Shun was currently in a meeting when his phone vibrated in his suit pocket. He took out his phone to check the caller, and the person would have no business with him unless it were an emergency.

He declared an early lunch break to his subordinates and quickly answered the call without a second thought.

"Vincent?"

"Shun… I hope I did not interrupt your work."

"No, not at all!" Shun guessed that something had happened back in Australia. He knew Vincent would not seek for him if it weren't serious.

"Then can I bother you today?"

"What can I do for you?" Shun asked Vincent.

"Hailee almost had a miscarriage this morning when I was in the office. Something had happened to me, and it reached Hailee. The thing is, I warned them to be careful not to report to her. However, someone still reached her o. Now she was in critical condition. James hacked Hailee's phone and tried to trace the IP address of the sender, but he could not get through it."

Shun keenly listens to Vincent's explanation. It was enough for him to understand what Vincent needed.

"You want Sandy's service?"

Vincent replied, "Yes. Pitt and James suggested it. But Sandy would only get a direct order from Hailee and you."

"Alright. I'll notify Sandy to contact James for them to work together."

"Thank you, Shun," Vincent said with relief. Now he could breathe a little more.

"No problem. As I've mentioned before, we are family."

Vincent nodded his head, even though he didn't see Shun. He sighs with relief. Now he could breathe a little more.

The call didn't last long, as Shun had to contact Sandy. Soon, the computer genius contacted James; he immediately opened his laptop, and the two began working.

While waiting, Vincent spoke to his mom's nanny.

"Where's mom, Nana?"

"Young Master, the young madam only allowed Madam Shen to accompany her."

Vincent becomes happy hearing this. His mom has a stern temperament; however, he knew she would not neglect Hailee. She was fierce toward him and his sisters but hid a soft heart in the bottom of his mom's chest.

Since James and Sandy are still trying to locate the person's IP address that sent Hailee a message, Vincent took this opportunity to call his siblings.

Metro City, P Country

Deana is sorting out some documents when her phone rings.

"Do you want me to answer it?" Sheena offered since she was free. Besides, the caller is Vincent.

Deana nodded as permission to her younger sister. Sheena picks up the phone immediately and swipes the green button in a hurry so as not to miss the call.

"Hey, brother! What's up?"

Sheena set the phone on a loudspeaker so that Deana would hear their conversation.

"You were at the Shen Group. That's good then," said Vincent.

"Are you worried about the company? Dad is doing his best to teach us." It was Deana who spoke.

"That's good. I trust you girls can handle all the matters in the company." Vincent never doubted his two sisters' capacity.

In fact, he was the one who encouraged them to continue their studies. He was the one who funded their master's degree with the help of their dad in secret.

Deana completed her master's degree in London while Sheena was in Paris. Now, it is time they could return the support their brother showed them when they were lost after their mom cut ties when they chose to live their own lives.

"Girls, I have something to ask you…." Vincent is reluctant to open up to his sisters. But since they're the ones who could understand him better, he was like a little kid complaining to his older siblings.

Deana and Sheena would love to burst out laughing and tease Vincent after Hailee doesn't want to see anyone, even her husband. But the situation is serious. Hailee almost had a miscarriage.

"Brother, don't worry. It is normal for us girls to change our mood to a severe one such as we hate our husband."

Vincent's heart protested hearing this. He would not accept that he could not take care of Hailee himself.

"Okay, brother. How about this? We better contact mom and ask her about Hailee's condition. Maybe mom can persuade Hailee to let you see her."

Vincent would love to hug Sheena for suggesting this. He is blessed to have such sweet sisters in this lifetime.

"Thank you, girls. I know Hailee would love to talk to you."

Vincent hangs up the call so that Deana and Sheena can FaceTime with their mom and maybe Hailee as well.

"Vincent, we finally caught him!"
