HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 208 - Plan To Trap Him (Seven)



Chapter 208 - Plan To Trap Him (Seven)

"We are glad that you can join us today, Mr. Shen!" said Pitt as he approached Vincent. He stretched his arm for a handshake.

"My pleasure to join you. I want to face Liam Huo myself," Vincent replied with firmness in his voice.

Hearing him muttering this, the knights shared a glance at each other. They could see the determination in his eyes that left a good impression on them.

'Is this the man, their princess, fell in love with?' They could not help pondering over again, scrutinizing him now they met him in person.

"Mr. Shen, regarding the preparation. We got to talk to someone from Senator Gu's men. Liam Huo is planning to infiltrate this building to get the princess." Keith reported.

Nodding, he asked Keith. "Can we trust this man?"

"Yes, Mr. Shen. It was Bruce who introduced him to me. He is also a secret agent that has a crucial mission. The government is eyeing Senator Gu and gathering evidence in this passing year."

"Hm. That's good then..." Speaking of the bodyguard and driver he hired to protect Hailey. It shocks him to learn that Bruce is also her knight.

"Mr. Shen, please forgive me. The princess has no ill intention. She wants to do a separate investigation of who wants to murder you. When you need someone to protect the princess, I squeeze in to be selected by my superior. In this way, I could closely work and guard the princess."

This is what Bruce told him when the guy phoned him and confessed the truth.

"Let Liam Huo step inside this building without sweating," he smirked.

The knights were glancing at each other. They could tell that Vincent Shen is also a cunning man. Could it be that he only tricks their princess?

The following day, everyone was on standby, as usual. Hailey is preparing to leave the penthouse when some police officers appear at Pitt's doorsteps to invite Hansen to the Police Station.

That morning, Hansen was detained in the Central Police Station the entire morning. Keith used his connections to settle the case filed against Hansen. But, since the man who sued him comes from an influential family, it will be a battle the entire day.

"What's going on?" On the other line, Hailey asked Keith worriedly. It shocked her after receiving the bad news—no wonder she didn't see Hansen in her convoy.

"Don't worry, princess. I will do everything to help solve Hansen's problem."

"But why does something happen like this?" she asked further. She racked her head, thinking how Hansen could offend someone when he is with her most of the time.

If she was in the office, Hansen was in the conference room, working since he owns a big company back in Seoul.

"Who filed a case against Hansen, and why? Maybe I should be there?"

"This is just a minor matter, Princess. It was just a misunderstanding." Keith interrupted whatever this princess was planning. She should stay in the office. It will jeopardize everything they've prepared.

"What kind of misunderstanding?" She could not stay calm when she knew that it happened because of her. In the first place, Hansen shouldn't be here if it weren't because of her.

Hailey couldn't avoid blaming herself. And Hansen knew what she was thinking.

"Let me talk to her," said Hansen, taking the phone from Keith. "Hello, Princess?"

"Brother Hansen? What's going on? Who is this man that files a case against you? How dare he!" It upset her, and because of what had happened, she wanted to throw an outburst. Honestly, she wanted to stay calm, but somehow, it's hard to control her moods lately.

"Relax. It will be fine. Like what Keith already has mentioned. It was only a misunderstanding."

"Can you tell me what happened?" she asked curiously. And Hansen knew very well that she wouldn't stop if she didn't hear the story.

Before he begins, Hansen clears his throat. Afterward, he then shares what happened.

"Well, during the opening of the DV Gem, I visited the Lopez Collection store when I spotted vibrant business suit displays in the store windows. So I looked for the designer who tailored it. I ordered several suits from Janise Lopez. And the person who sued me is her fiance."

Hansen paused for a moment to cough. "Well… Um, he suddenly appeared in Miss Lopez's office, and he thought something was going on."

"Something going on like?" Somehow, Hailey started getting a clear picture inside her head. This time, instead of worrying, a silly smile is playing on her lips. "So, what happens in the office?"

Hansen rolled his eyes. He is perfectly familiar with this girl's mood. A while back, she was fretting. Now she was teasing him!

"Ahem! Well, I was half-naked, and Janise took my measurement. Ahem! You know… My body size and her boyfriend misunderstand everything."

"Janise has no boyfriend, and she didn't agree to the arranged marriage with that guy!" Hailey couldn't stop reacting. In fact, she sounded like assuring Hansen that Janise is single. Now she could connect the lipstick on Hansen's suit and the commotion between Hansen and Janise!

Meanwhile, Hansen shook his head. He knew it! This silly princess would think this way, and now she's playing cupid! Of course, she didn't directly say it, but it was what was playing inside her head.

"Well, I will admit that I punched him. He deserves it. How dare he humiliated a woman? They were just in an arranged marriage. Janise should not marry that kind of man. I'm willing to beat him up again."

Hailey believes Hansen would not beat up someone without reason. While she's talking to Hansen, she hears Janise speak in the background. Hailey hangs up the call. Since Janise sided with Hansen, then nothing she must worry about.

Indeed, the Lopez family would look at this issue somewhat. Besides, Hansen is their foreign investor. She wondered if Janise's fiance even knew that.

Hailey had a good mood the entire morning until afternoon. Then Vince called her, and they were flirting over the phone until Liam Huo ruined her day.

"How are you, sweetheart?"

"Liam Huo!" Hailey darkened her face; she's shooting a sharp look at the guy. Then, she asked, "Where is Gigi?"

"Why do you worry about others but not about yourself?" said Liam with a huge smile plastering on his face.

"Answer my question." Hailey pursued Liam for an answer, her gaze full of threats as well. Seeing him now, she felt like she wanted to throw up.

Liam laughs, amused at how she doesn't change at all. He commented, "You're still the na?ve and stubborn princess I used to know."

"So what? I don't care about your opinion. Tell me where Gigi and Fraine are!" Hailey even darkened her gaze, to which Liam responded with a smirk contorted in the corner of his mouth.

"Not so fast, sweetheart. Before we talk about your dearest friends, why don't we call someone first?" said Liam.

"What now, Liam? I have no time to play with you," she muttered nonchalantly.

"Is it?" Liam curled his lips into a victorious grin as he dialed someone's contact. "Hello, Eva, dear. How is Australia? Are you enjoying your stay?"

Hailey shrunk her pupil, listening to Liam chatting with Eva as scenarios flooding into her head. All the puzzles that she tried to connect finally are completed.

"So it was really you who hid Eva from Vincent. You manipulated her not to give Vincent a divorce. Am I right?"

"Yes! Vincent Shen will never be going to marry you!" Liam exclaimed as he admitted it.

Hailey clenches her palm into a fist. "You are crazy, Liam Huo!"

Meanwhile, inside the Security Room, which monitors all the happenings on that floor, Vincent tightens his jaw in anger. He already has a feeling that Eva's disappearance is not just her own will.

He could never locate her in these passing months. Then the agent he hired got data that Eva is often traveling and staying at V Country and S Country. These places are the Huo cousin's territory!

"What are they talking about? This man is married?" Someone from the knights raises this question.

Everyone's attention turned to Maynard Chan, then moved in Vincent's direction.
