His Contractual Mistress - Chapter 486 Give Everything to Their Children, Even the Entire World

Chapter 486 Give Everything to Their Children, Even the Entire World　　It was the third day that Vincent was away. Hailee had a lonely breakfast in the study. While she had her milk and fruits, she reminisced about the times she and Vincent discussed the progress in Dream City.

Vincent is playing both the CEO of Davies Corporation and Davies International. Now he is also acting as Chairman of Davies Group on her behalf, and regularly, her husband would report the situation of the city construction to her.

With everything she had, nothing could move and fill her heart with warmth but a reminiscence of the days she and Vincent had shared.

Although they renovate the guest room as a study, they keep the bed for Hailee to take a nap. And when she was about to doze off after the reporting, Vincent would accompany her to the bed before he resumed his work, having countless video conferences with their subsidiary companies worldwide.

“Empress?” James knocked on the door twice before he stepped inside. The door was already open, so he saw the sadness written on her face. “What’s the matter? Have you had a nightmare last night again?”

Hailee looked up and smiled at James. She shook her head and replied, “No. I’m just badly missing Vincent.”

James twitched his mouth. If Hailee acted like this when she was a teenager, he already beat up Vincent without reason because they swore that whoever caused her sadness would be going to beat up until that person becomes a pulp. That actually happened to Bryan.

To think about it now, he had just realized that Hailee actually didn’t show she had a crush on someone in the past.

“Empress, tell me. Who was your crush in the past?”

Hailee blinked her eyes, stunned when James asked her a childish question out of the blue. She lowered her gaze and contemplated.

After some thought, she answered James, “It’s Vincent.”

James had rendered speechless. This girl never had a boyfriend except for Vincent. But it’s impossible to have no other crush before her husband.

“Empress, I’m asking you before you meet Vincent.”

Hailee looked at James with wonder if he was serious about asking her now that she was married. She pouted as she said,

“I love all of you, and my love is equal. So I don’t think I should have a crush on any of you. Is that not enough?”

James regretted he had asked Hailee childishly. He glanced over his shoulder, checking out the door and ensuring that no one heard that.

‘Vincent should not know about this conversation.’ James coughed, clearing out his throat, and then he smiled nervously.

“Ahem! Empress, please forget that we had this conversation.”

Hailee curled her lips. She already guessed what was on James’ mind, and he should be aware of how Vincent is a jealous man.

“My husband knew already that my knights had a special place in my heart. However, he hasn’t fully accepted that.”

James was speechless. He would be delighted to know that Hailee loved them if it were in the past. But now that she is married and has a girlfriend, he values his life even more.

“Alright. What happened to the court hearing, James?” Hailee didn’t wait for James to say more and changed the topic.

James patiently dealt with her tantrums in passing months, so she didn’t want to make his life even harder.

Placing a folder on the table, James began explaining the Juries’ decision after Vincent’s lawyers submitted pieces of evidence to defend himself.

“It shows that Vincent’s company has no negligence on his part. In fact, Mr. Zhou didn’t renew his insurance under Vincent’s company. Mr. Zhou also failed to pay his crew, which the Khan Agency provided.”

“Hazel’s family business?”

“Yes, my in-law’s business.”

Hailee grinned at what James said.

“Are your relationships accelerated that fast?”

“Well, not to mention how naggy mom was. It is the same as my cousin-in-law and father-in-law.”

“That must be Lloyd?”

James nodded. He then recalled what Hazel’s father told him the other day.

“Hazel is the only princess of the family. Although we want her to get married soon. We understand that she has many dreams and wants to build her career. So I hope you will not do it before the wedding.”

James heaved a helpless sigh. Of course, he would not do something when Hazel is not ready to carry a lifetime responsibility. Besides, he wants her to enjoy her youth.

“Well, back to our topic. The Khan Agency will file a lawsuit against Mr. Zhou for not paying his seamen crew. After presenting more evidence on the Shen Group’s side, Mr. Zhou finally admitted his crime as he felt nowhere to run.” James explained further.

“It turns out that Z Group is about to declare bankruptcy because Mr. Zhou has enormous debts. So he fails to renew his insurance under Vincent’s company. It means he could not use a timely maintenance service. So he could not falsely accuse Vincent nor blame him. Instead, what happened was an attempted suicide. Unfortunately, he didn’t die.”

“So he will serve several years in jail, and he has to pay a billion dollars for Gideon Jackson and his son Jay’s death,” James added.

“He commits suicide by colliding with another yacht?” Hailee raises a brow and thinks either it was a desperate action or he is just crazy.

“That was his plan or….” James trailed his words before continuing. “Actually, Liam invested in his company, and Samuel Miller is probably behind the suicide drama to create trouble for Vincent.”

Hailee scoffs. She isn’t surprised anymore when she hears about Liam and his lawyer Samuel Miller.

“There is one thing, Empress. Mr. Zhou got a loan from Shang Holdings as well. So he was buried with debts. The collateral of that loan is the factory under Z Group.”

“So it means?”

“Mr. Jeremy Shang held both the factory and Z Group. Samuel Miller attempted to win over the company, but the board voted in favor of selling the company to the Shangs.”

“Oh, so the Z Group now belongs to the Shangs,” Hailee mumbled, then she thought to herself, C Nation is Shang’s territory. Liam’s men, like Samuel Miller, cannot do anything with their own ways under Shang’s watch. Instead, he is making an enemy against the Shang Brothers.

Hailee was happy thinking about Nikki having Theo, who now is one of the most successful businessmen in the world.

Their husbands are business partners and work harder every day. Well, their family is growing.

Like she and Vincent had four babies on their first try. They were excited parents and would do anything for them to have a bright future. They are ready to give everything to their children, even the entire world.

“How about the employees in Z Group, James?”

“All employees will stay, and the workers will continue working in the factory.”

Hailee was glad to hear that. “That’s good. It would be a pity for them if they lost their jobs. Their families would be the ones to suffer most.”

“Well, thanks to their new boss.” James had a meaningful smile that Hailee failed to notice. When there was no reaction from her, James grumbled. “Are you not interested in knowing who it was?”
