HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 419 - Overprotective



Chapter 419 - Overprotective

"Then, I will give them the beating myself!" Hilda blurted out.

It infuriates her to think that people doubt her son's capability. And because of them, Vincent wants to join the Mafia Association.

"Mom, calm down. Let me handle things by myself now."

They were not in P Country, which he needed not to do anything but his name enough to make someone tremble. Only a few dared to challenge him, which, of course, it was easy to intimidate them.

He isn't just known in the country because of the Shen name, but because of Lopez, as the clan has been shaking the country for hundreds of years since the old age. His ancestors always led either during Guerilla Warfare or other country invasions.

Until these days, the clan continued its Legacy, and it was he and his cousins who led the country to adopt the evolution to the new age, which is a life in modern times through technologies.

Lopez Corporation has successfully introduced a modernization system to the community, which it's not simple as they have to work and preserve the history of the country. Also, ensuring to promote an Eco faction as large areas have to be destroyed, harming the environment in building a modern society.

He is thankful that his cousins shared the same vision and became their mission, and it will continue.

And so, even how influential his mom was back in P Country, his own battle is different now.

He is creating a name in someone's territory, which everyone raises a brow and thinks he is only riding on his father-in-law's influence, which is challenged this power at present by someone who wants to be the son-in-law of Jacob.

Like his father-in-law told him, Liam ensured to buy someone's loyalty all these years. Liam approached those companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy. He helped them get up and start anew, and at the right time, when Liam sees he needs them, he will collect the debts.

Now, these companies have to make Davies Corporation taste a bumpy ride.

The brewed coffee was served to Vincent while tea for Hilda. The mother and son sat down on accent chairs, facing the floor-ceiling window with the perfect view of the Opera House and a tea table between them.

Beyond their sight are hundreds of boats and yachts either sailing, docked, or anchored in deeper waters near the city.

Jacob had just left, so the mother and son resumed discussing what they'd talked about a while ago.

Hilda studied Vincent. She could see the determination on her son's face. In fact, she could feel the unusual aura that Vincent was always wearing in front of her.

"Are you certain about this, Vincent?"

He nodded as he replied, "Yeah, mom."

Hilda sighed helplessly, feeling defeat. She asked, "How about Hailee? Did she know your plan?"

Vincent took a moment of silence before he shook his head.

"I have to tell her what I've decided, but not now."

"You are making her worried even more."

"I know. So I have to explain it carefully and convince her I must do this. I want to protect Davies Corporation. The company does not lack financial funds. Davies alone owns unimaginable assets. However, it won't survive if we can operate it usually. Liam Huo knows how he could challenge Davies Corporation, and it happened when I was taking the CEO's seat."

"I think Liam didn't expect that Hailee would marry someone like me. He has been working on it for many years already. He strengthened his influences both in business and the underground world."

"And I am not afraid! Who do they think they are? A bunch of roguish almost made me a widow and a single mother at such a young age! While your grandfather died in the ambush, your dad lay on the sickbed for many months after being in a coma as bullets stuck on his skull! It made me so angry that they have the guts to challenge me as Lopez!"

Vincent was dumbfounded when his mom blurted it out with all of this. He knew that his dad almost died and had head surgery when he was barely two years old. But the way his mom sounded, it seemed like there was a story he hadn't heard yet.

"What did you do, mom?" he asked curiously, and he also felt some thrill.

"Your dad is in a coma, and so, no one can stop me from meeting those roguish mafias!"

Vincent blinked his eyes. It rendered him speechless that there is such a thing his mom went to face the group who caused his grandfather's death and his dad in a critical condition.

'Is it how it started everyone calling mom, as Madam Hilda the Great?' thought Vincent.

"Did you do a settlement with the boss?" He wanted to confirm this.

"Why would I? They want to mess up my life! Then I will make theirs too! Our family has spread throughout the country! I am talking about our clan and the group of revolutionaries who are grateful to your ancestors. Why do you think no one could harm you whenever you go within P Country? Wherever we go, we have our people. I am talking about the people who are ready to fight on our side."

"You went and attacked the territory of the people who are indebted to us?" Vincent instead looks excited rather than feeling surprised.

"They thought I was that fragile? I am not afraid of them!"

"But mom, you were not thinking that I possibly lost a mother." Vincent softened his gaze as he muttered this.

"I have your uncles and the Shen's as well."

Vincent stared at his mom with a new perspective. She may always be too loud and great at nagging. But she is actually cautious not to get involved in any scandalous situation, such as behaving with no class. She loves to give a piece of her mind, but she did it elegantly.

"Mom, did that meeting become a bloody encounter?"

"And what do you think of those criminals? They are not the type to let their enemy get out alive."

"So, you are also exchanging bullets with them?"

"No. I poured wine on the boss's head, slapped him, and kicked his balls!"

Vincent dropped his jaw. He was trying to process the scenario in his head. The way his mom gritted her teeth in anger must be a situation when the boss talks about something that made his mom do that without hesitation or fear of the consequences.

"What did he say to you? Or what happened to your conversation with him?" Vincent asked, curious to hear the entire story.

Hilda twitches her lips after Vincent throws this question. She took a sip of her tea to calm her throbbing nerves.

"That roguish told me that after your dad died, he is willing to become your father, and he would love to marry me." Hilda sneered. Her face darkened, staring at the bay with a sharp glare.

Vincent rose a brow, and anger surged in his chest. He wishes he learned this earlier and would give that man a beating.

"Who is that man, mom? Is he still alive these days?"

Hilda shook her head. "Do you think I will let him live after what he told me? How dare he! I must kill him first before your dad dies if he won't wake up from a coma."

It made Vincent rendered speechless once again. He bet countless men wish to court her and win her heart.

His mom is beautiful and smart.

But knowing his mom's temperament, he is certain no one would dare to approach her, and if not for the arranged marriage, he isn't sure whom his mom would marry.

Vincent curled his lips. His mom always acted like she hated his dad as she constantly berated him, and it was strange as well why his dad never thought of divorcing his mom.

Probably her act of avenging moved his dad's heart, and even if his mom would not admit it, she actually loves his dad, but she is just too prideful.

As he heard this story, he fully understood why the entire Lopez Clan would not dare oppose, but her words are a law to abide by. Even Shen Clan adores her so much. It must be when she avenges her husband and the death of her father-in-law.

Thinking of this, he came to realize that his mom and Hailee have no difference in how overprotective they are when it comes to their beloved husband.

"Mom, I am actually grateful that you were so strict with me as I was growing up."
