Kevin rushed to the office and grabbed the key. It was already midnight when he arrived at Kylin International.
When he reached the twentieth floor, he hurriedly flung open the door of Mary's apartment. He searched every room carefully, but couldn't find Mary.
Obviously, the door was kicked open from the outside. He saw the metal plate for the doorjamb was twisted and smashed, only hanging on by one screw. The wood around it was splintered.
Kevin called William, but no one answered. ''Beep...
Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is busy now. Please try again later..."
Maybe Mary asked help from someone and that person took her away.
She should be fine, right?
After taking a final look around the apartment, Kevin, at long last, left.
The next day, Victor sat at home browsing the news. Some bystanders had recorded him and Mary playing games on the stage. The video went viral.
This generated the usual online chatter, and some pointed out that the woman in the video was a dead ringer for Mary, the wife of the CEO of AJ Group.
Victor frowned and wondered what kinds of problems this might cause Mary. After returning home that day, he couldn't help sending her a message, but received no reply.
He got even more nervous. Was Mary avoiding him?
If William found out about this, he would be pissed. After thinking for a while, he thought, 'Maybe I can stop this before it does become an actual problem.'
With a stern look in his eyes, Victor suddenly made a decision.
He immediately stood up, went back to the bedroom, put on his clothes and rushed out of there.
As expected, as soon as he went out, he met a crowd of reporters.
These reporters had been waiting for a while now. They'd had to go home empty-handed more than once. Now that they finally saw Victor, they milled around him and fired off question after question. "Victor, Victor, what are you going to do?"
"Victor, can you explain what's in the video to us?"
"Victor, would you like to make a statement? Is the woman in the video Mary?"
A group of reporters surrounded him, like they were afraid that he would run away.
Victor took off his sunglasses, put on a standard smile and said, "Ladies, gentlemen, not all at once, please. I can only answer one question at a time."
As soon as the reporters heard what he said, they quickly calmed down, but still ringed him in.
"Victor, is that really you in that video?"
"Yes." Victor nodded and admitted boldly, "Many people saw me then. It's no secret."
"Then who's the woman in the video?"
After a pause, he smiled and said, "Mary. William Lan's wife."
"Oh my God! It's true!"
"No way! William Lan is the CEO of AJ Group. So he's dating some bigwig's wife!"
"Are they going to announce their relationship openly?" "So the rumors are true!"
As soon as Victor finished talking, all the reporters began to whisper among themselves.
"Then, Victor, can you tell us about your relationship?"
"We're still friends," said Victor, taking a deep breath.
"Still?" A sharp reporter said, "So is it likely to get serious? For example, might you two become a couple?"
"Yes." Victor nodded firmly, "I'm pursuing her."
"What?" "Is Victor pursuing her?"
"Am I hearing things?"
Victor's words were like a bomb.
"But she's married to Mr. Lan."
"Yes," nodded Victor, "but an unhappy marriage is doomed to fail.
I'm the only one who can make her truly happy."
"Do you mean that Mr. Lan and his wife have a bad relationship?"
"Are they pretending to love each other?"
A group of reporters began to make things difficult again. With a slight smile on his face, Victor said, "Some things can only be understood and not said. Everyone is smart enough to know what I mean.
I can only tell you how I see them.
Mary, if you're watching right now, please accept my love!"
R Town.
After noon, William and Frank returned from the cemetery. They were back to the Liang Family house again.
"William, when are we leaving?" Frank asked.
"Let's make it tomorrow," said William indifferently. "I'm afraid we won't make it back to A City tonight."
"Okay." Frank nodded. As long as they left as soon as possible, he would be fine.
