The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 270

Like a nuclear bomb that was dropped from the sky into the mind of October, a resounding sound so loud and destructive overwhelmed her mind. Her mind was in chaos then blanked out. Her eyes stared blankly at Grandpa He as she tried to process this information.

‘Mo-mom…poisoned…mur-dered?’ She thought, reiterating the key points.

She was still young back then, so naïve and carefree to see the disgusting and warped faces of all people. How can she have the mind to notice such thing? No. This is just an excuse, an excuse she can think of as a way of dodging the fault from her. She was there by her mother’s side and yet she was not able to see anything amiss.

‘What kind of a fool I was?!’ October felt cold and empty. Even if it was just a thought, she knew that ‘he’ was involved. Just the thought of him made her shudder.

Seeing that something was wrong with October, Lexus immediately knelt in worry while grabbing her hand that was as cold as ice. He too was shock with what happened to her mother but he knew that what he was feeling was just a drop of a water in October’s sea of emotions that could not even make a tiny ripple.

“Granddaughter, it’s—it’s not your fault. Don’t worry, grandpa will take care of this. I will definitely solve this. Just take care of your body, okay?”

But the lack of response of October made Lexus worry even more.

“October, wifey…” He paused. He couldn’t say anything more. He wanted to say comforting words but can his words be enough? His anxiety and the helplessness of not being able to help the woman he loves left a very horrible taste that he could not swallow.

Lexus looked up and was stunned. What he saw was a trickle of tear from October’s blank face. As it slid down her cheek, it was also like a knife that sliced his heart. It was more painful than being shot.

Using his trembling hand, he c.a.r.e.s.sed her cheek and swiped her tear away from her face. He was even more distressed as he can feel that even her face had turned ice cold.

‘I will definitely make all of them pay for making her cry. Even if I’ll ask the Mafia, I don’t care. For making her sad like this, unforgivable.’

Lexus put his hand on the back of October’s head and gently pulled her. With her forehead on his, he solemnly swear, “I’m here. I won’t leave you. I’ll stay with you forever…” definitely.

October felt like she was drowning in an abyss of darkness with no way out. It was not until a voice so familiar to her, full of care and love, sounded near her, c.a.r.e.s.sing her ear and stirred her senses. This familiar voice pulled her from her darkness and enveloped her in light of warmth, comforting.

“Mm…” October’s eyes blinked as she got out of her daze with Lexus’ face an inch away from her. And just like this, as if a dam was broken, she sobbed. All her life, she never had cried so hard like this before. From the death of her mother to the grievances she experienced in all these years, all of these surfaced and came pouring out on her.

October did not know how long she was crying in the arms of Lexus. His shirt was wet with tears and mucus but it seemed like nobody cared about it. Lexus tightly held October, waiting for her to calm down. Soon, he can hear her soft breathing. She had fallen asleep.

Gathering her into his arms, Lexus got up and looked at Grandpa He who was regretting for telling October about this.

“Grandpa, I’ll first put her to bed.” He said looking down on the tear-stained face of October. “Then we’ll talk.”

The whole mansion was brightly lit but the atmosphere in the mansion heavy and dark and cold. All the maids and butlers inside had already escaped out of the mansion for fear of getting themselves involve or worse, killed.

“Care to explain, Grandpa.” Lexus asked and sat on the couch opposite Grandpa He. His voice was not at all friendly but Grandpa He did not care about his disrespectful tone right now because he knew that he had wronged his granddaughter.

Grandpa He only sighed and made a gesture of his hand. Then, the woman standing beside Assistant Ke came forward and gave Lexus a stack of papers.

In the Park Residence, Peizhi locked himself in his office immediately after he and Fu Yung went home. His face was dark and heavy. It was also contorted in a way that he was like about to gnash his teeth and tear someone into pieces. It was unsightly.

*Bogh*

He slammed his fists on his table in anger. It may have hurt but right now, all of his attention was on the threat that Master He had told him.

‘Fck! That damn wench, how can she lie to me?! I gave her everything and yet she was not able to tell me who she really was? If she did, wouldn’t that make everything be not as what it seems right now? Wouldn’t they be still a happy family of three? Why? Why now when all have gone sht?! Btch, if you were still alive, I would have beaten you up!’

*Crash*

Outside the study, Longwei looked at his father’s study and frowned in worry. He then turned to his mother, “Mother, why is Daddy angry? What happened?”

Fu Yung pursed her lips as her face darkened. “It’s because of your sister.”

‘Sister? Why?’ Longwei wondered and wanted to ask more but seeing the scowl on his mother’s face, he swallowed his doubts and clenched his hand into fists. He wished he was already big enough so that he can talk to his sister what happened. He was anxious and worried about his sister.

‘That btch! How dare you lie to me?!’ Peizhi gritted his teeth so hard until he can taste a metallic taste but he did not care. He felt that he was cheated. Was all those sweet moments they shared also a lie? Was she toying with him all those times?’

While he was thinking this, cursing the He family and October, his phone suddenly rang. His eyes snapped to his phone’s direction. He was very annoyed at this phone call as he was trying to wrack his brains on how he can get out of this mess. He did not expect that October was actually the biological granddaughter of Master He of He family in the City A.

This was not a family that can be trifled with ah!

He looked at the caller ID but it was an unknown number. He frowned darkly. He ended it and discarded his phone but this fcking bastard seemed to not have any thought of stopping from calling him.

*Riiiiing~ Riiiing~*

“Who?!” Peizhi snapped, his breathing ragged as his eyes narrowed dangerously.

“Hehe. My, my. What are you angry about? How rude.” A lady’s voice, thick and m.a.t.u.r.e-sounding and s.e.xy, came from the other end of the phone. Peizhi was of course stunned with this but then immediately recovered.

‘You ask me why I’m angry? And even say I’m rude?!’

“Who are you?! If you don’t have any business with me, stop calling me.” Peizhi gnashed his teeth and was about to end the call but stopped when he heard the what she said next.
