HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 473 Kill Someone

After his men disappeared from the line of his sight, the man that Samuel called Master picked up his phone on the table and dialed a particular contact.

"So?" The moment the person on the other line answered his call, he could no longer hold his rage. "What is John doing now? Why has he done nothing yet!?"

"Patience, Master. John knew what he was doing. He has not to rush action when the media keeps him under their radar. Soon, will be held a court hearing in C Nation. John had to attend and show the world that the death of his family had nothing to do with him. But of course, it would point the blame toward the Shen family." Samuel calmly explained to his master.

He added, "Is it a perfect coincidence? The Shen declared to the world that they were the mighty Imperial family of the Xing Dynasty. But the truth is, they were murderers. Don't you think it was a blessing in disguise that we could not break the Crow Tech Security? Heaven is siding with us. We have to celebrate instead."

The man, called Master, processed every word Samuel had said. He seemed to agree that Samuel had a point. Today, the world kneeled before Vincent Shen. But tomorrow, these same people will throw mud at him.

With that thought, the man curled his mouth into a satisfying smirk.

"Very well, then! I look forward to Vincent Shen going home as a corpse from his visit to T Country."

"Consider the job done," Samuel promised.

No more words from his master, but a tone indicating that he hung up already without bidding goodbye. Anyway, he was used to this already. He had nothing to be surprised about anymore. Even so, he still glanced at his phone screen to make sure it disconnected. After he confirmed it, Samuel dialed John's contact.

"Where are you now?"

"I'm about to board the plane." John's response.

"Alright. You know what to do," said Samuel.

"I do, of course."

"Good." Samuel did not wait for John to reply. He ended the call. Putting away his phone on the office table, he leans back and gazes at the city night skyline, contemplating.

His master has been impatient in the past months, and he doesn't like it because it would impact his plan. He always does his job slowly but smoothly.

He works with it when he creeps into Liam's system for years. After patiently following him around, he gained his trust. Now he holds everything that Liam has. His power, wealth, and influences were in his hands.

In everything that he achieved, there is someone who benefited the most, and that is his master. But he was being pushed around lately, which brought displeasure in his heart.

"Let's end it soon," Samuel muttered before getting up from the chair and leaving the J Group company.

Samuel ordered his assistant to drive to the airport. "Tell the men to get ready. I am going to T City."

"Copy, boss."

Dream City, Australia

Sitting on an accent chair, Hailee is watching the half-finished buildings in the eastern-south part of the city. That part of the city was bustling with so many activities lately. She is holding a binocular to see the buildings clearly.

Seen enough, Hailee positioned her line of sight at the Central East Sector where La Merveille Tower is located.

Shen Group is doing a great job. Vincent instructed his engineers to do overtime work, but he was careful. Aside from paying them double overtime, he didn't allow the workers to work straight the entire month. They have the freedom to sign up for two weeks of overtime. After that, they are forced to take a break for one week before working overtime again.

Vincent doesn't want his employees to abuse their health. Many of them have no families here in Australia who could take care of them. So Vincent made an exceptional policy for his team here in Dream City.

Vincent was cautious about the wellness of his employees, something she really admired about him being a thoughtful boss, and with this, she wanted everyone to see that he was a great big boss. He will also be toward Davies Corporation.

So now, other firms are following Vincent's steps. They also aimed to finish the projects as soon as possible, as there was more work to do one after another.

Hailee was thinking of hiring more construction firms, but at the moment, there are more important things she will take care of.

Hailee put down the binoculars after she heard the creek sound of the door. She turned her head and saw Vincent carrying a tray with a glass of warm milk, fruits, and delicacies on a platter.

"Done the meeting with Shun?"

"Yup," Vincent answered while putting down the tray on the French coffee table. He picked up the glass and handed it to his wife.

"Thank you." Hailee drank half of the milk. She placed the glass on the table to hug Vincent, who sat down on a stool next to her. "I wished I could go with you."

"I also want you to come with me," said Vincent, placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Hillside Lake has a magnificent view. The mountain trail is amazing! I always dream of visiting again. But after I put up my companies and then the matter regarding Liam, I have to limit my adventure since then."

"Hmm… Then let us visit together in the future," Vincent suggested.

"Yes, we will! I can't wait." Hailee smiled with glee. "Come back soon, okay?"

All of a sudden, Hailee welled up. Vincent combed her long hair. He lowered his head and kissed her passionately until both were out of breath.

"Stop crying now…." Vincent did her best to coax her.

"Hubby… The watch that you gave me for my 24th birthday. I can no longer wear it. I'm gaining weight lately."

Vincent was speechless. He thought Hailee cried because he was leaving.

"Look, it's hard to lock it." Hailee picked up the rose gold watch from its box and placed it on her wrist.

"Alright. I will ask Kelly to design you a new strap, a convertible one."

"Thank you, hubby!" Now Hailee smiled sweetly.

Vincent chuckled after realizing that he had just experienced a two minutes mood swing from his wife.

Anyway, the custom-made watch that Vincent gives Hailee is one of the best gifts she cherishes the most compared to those million-dollar presents she receives.

The watch only cost around one hundred thousand euros, but she loves it so much because Vincent designed it.

When she was his contracted mistress, she thought Vincent just wanted to show everyone the reason he was showering her with luxury, in which she didn't need his money but himself.

But ever since she learned the truth, Vincent has done everything because he was in love with her. It's not because it stated in the contract that she would receive a handsome amount and gifts.

"What were you thinking?" Vincent saw the playful smile appear on Hailee's lips. She was silent for a little while, and he knew something was going on in her head.

"Nothing. I just recalled something."

"Okay…" He is curious to know, but he just guesses that it was something from the past, a beautiful one. "I'll be back soon. Wait for me…."

"I will…"

"Know that you are the only woman I ever love… Yesterday, today, tomorrow, and my next LIVES…."

"That is future tense right there…." Hailee muttered coquettishly, pointing to the last word Vincent had said.

"Yes. It is not only in my next life but also the next and the next life that I will have in this world."

"Me too… You are the only man I want to be with even in my next LIVES…." Hailee bit Vincent's lower lip, brushing her lips with his before she kissed him lovingly.

Remained sitting on the accent chair near the window, Hailee watched as her private jet and Shun's took off the Dream City Airport runways.

Vincent is heading to T Country while Shun is flying to Italy, and tomorrow is her dad Jacob and dad-in-law Frederick leaving for C Nation.

Hailee glanced over her shoulder when the door opened, and James stepped in.

"James, what is the situation in T City?"

"Rob already arranged everything."

"Great. How about the Franklin twins?"

"They were in position. You have nothing to worry about from here on."

"Tell everyone to keep a good job."

"I will…" James replied to Hailee without leaving his gaze on her. He could not believe that he was talking to a different person at the moment. The spoiled princess who often came up with childish ideas is a pretty mature woman now.

James feels a chill on his spine every time he realizes Hailee has changed too much.

In the past, when she heard of catastrophic events, she would instantly order him to organize a team to send for charity work.

Now, the order he got from her—was to kill someone.

'Is she even the same person who I used to know?'
