His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 411 - Married To Eva (Two)



Chapter 411 - Married To Eva (Two)

"Eva Lan? She is Bryan's girlfriend. How come she is married to you when she and Bryan were on and off in a relationship?"

Vincent felt the scrutiny of these men. When Eva died inside the prison, his name once again linked as the ex-husband, then hot topics began about her boyfriend.

"Eva is just my wife in name. When we got married, I knew she was living with her boyfriend, but I didn't know who. She and I are just acquaintances during a few projects, but our parents are good friends. My mom began nagging me to unite our family. But we never live on the same roof. After our civil wedding in New York, we went separate ways and never cared for each other. But as I receive benefits after I married her, I do my obligation of giving her a monthly allowance."

"Received benefits, huh? Is this about, if you marry her, you will inherit our conglomerate!"

The other men in that group laughed when one commented, but the rest remained expressionless. Vincent is Hailee Davies' husband. They would never be careless to joke about Jacob's son-in-law.

Soon, Vincent Shen becomes one of the most powerful men in the world once he inherits Jacob's seat as CEO of Davies Corporation. The men who laughed didn't realize this yet, knowing Davies Corporation had signed a contract with their company. When Vincent pulled out the investment, then it was their end.

Mikael and Rob shared a knowing look. They knew the risk of going overboard in taunting Vincent. These men aren't careful at all.

Vincent remained silent for a moment as he emptied his goblet. He pushed the corner of his mouth into a grin as he spoke afterward.

"You've guessed it right, Mr. Smith." He said. His voice was full of sternness, which made the men shut their mouths. Vincent raised his glass and studied the clarity of it.

He added, "My mom is wealthier than my dad, after granting her desire that I would get married soon because of the rumors in our circle that I am gay as I only hang out with men. She gave me all of her wealth as a condition... And with the inheritance I received, I established my yacht company and built modern residential and offices buildings that international companies occupy as their branch offices. I also got projects and built hundreds of new malls all over my country. I bought my own shares in our US-based company. Not only that, I became Theo Shang's business partner in his casino and hotel in Las Vegas, so I earned billions of dollars each year."

"Ironically, Eva cannot choose Bryan because I am wealthier than him. If Bryan dumps her, she still has her husband, who she can blackmail. In exchange for her silence and letting me live in peace, Eva demands a new car each year, then I pay for her travels and shopping around the world. She also asked for a yacht as compensation as we didn't consummate our marriage. Yeah. She tried to seduce me, but she had no chance as I was not interested in meeting her. But the fact that I am also using her, so I blindly funded her luxurious living even though I know she flirted with different men. Anyway, I don't regard her as my wife. So I never give a damn f*ck who she sleeps with."

Vincent added, "Now, who do you think lives a good life? I, who works my ass to have a name in this world? Or my nominal wife, whose capriciousness spoiled by me?"

"Damn. How did you bear all of that? I actually salute you for spoiling Eva, even with how many men she sleeps with. If that is another nominal husband? O know they would enrage if his wife cuckolds him on the head. But you just ignored this for how long, man?" said Mikael with admiration.

"We should get a divorce after two years, but she began hiding from me. I know Liam Huo, but I never met him in person, or we crossed paths before. Soon then, I learned that he used Eva to break Bryan and Hailee's wedding. Then once again, Liam used her, and this time it was against me and Hailee's love."

Vincent paused and swept his gaze to the eight men who were listening to his story keenly.

"Our original agreement is I will divorce her after I found the girl I fell in love with four years ago."

"Whoa! Are you telling us that this woman is the princess?" Mikael burst out all of a sudden. Their eyes shifted toward him.

Vincent looked at Mikael. He nodded at him, and a sweet smile appeared on his lips.

"Most of what I said will be mentioned in the documentary that will be released next month. You guys heard it exclusively from me. If I were to charge you, I am more expensive now." he joked, which caused them to chuckle.

"Damn! I'm glad that I put a lot of good words about you to the princess!" said Mikael with glee; there is pride in his eyes to what he did last year.

"What do you mean by that, Mikael?" asked Pitt with curiosity in his eyes. He is only watching Vincent have a conversation with these men, but the topic is getting interesting. There are actually more things they didn't know.

Mikael turned his head toward Pitt's direction and said, "Do you remember your stop at my resort a year ago?"

Pitt is raking his head to recall his voyage with the princess last year. He didn't know that Mikael and the princess had an interesting conversation back then. Indeed, when Hailee returned to Australia through her yacht, they made a stopped at Papua New Guinea, at Davidson Resort that Vincent actually designed.

"Okay. Yes, I remembered now. How about it?"

"The princess didn't stop inquiring who designed my resort. Although the Lewis Firm, who built Dawson Resort, it was Vincent who designed everything. In fact, I could still perfectly remember the princess' facial expression…."

Mikael paused and fixed his posture, then made a soft expression as he muttered,

"Mikael, are you sure that Vincent Shen is excellent? The princess asked me with her usual sweet voice while folding her arms above the table, and her chin rested on the back of her palms. Then, I answered confidently… Yes, princess! Vincent Shen is not just excellent, but he is the best among the best! And I added more good words about you, bro."

Mikael patted Vincent's back, grinned, and added, "See? I am right! You're the best, man! Just in a blink of an eye, four babies on the way!"

The men who eagerly listened to Mikael's story dropped their mouths open and blinked many times, including Vincent.

"You a**hole! We're talking seriously here, and you were actually thinking sh*t!" It was James who reacted immediately. He grabbed Mikael's neck and strangled him.

"What? How did it become a sh*t when it was Vincent's… Ahhh…." Mikael didn't finish his words as James tightened the arm; he circled his neck.

Vincent had rendered speechless while shaking his head. The other men also complained and wanted to help James beat up Mikael.

Tonight, they discovered that there is actually another side of the story of why the princess began chasing Vincent Shen to work with her.

Vincent had just learned this as well. He designed the Davidson Resort didn't, and it impressed Hailee so much, which he actually collaborated with Eva five years ago.

To think about it now, he and Hailee are destined to entangle their lives with Eva, including Liam. The world is too small for them.

He is not happy that Eva died. But he is glad that the thorn in their life now disappeared and cannot threaten them anymore.

Vincent continued having conversations with these men until the event organizer announced that the main course was serving now. He walked toward Hailee, helped her stand on her feet, and followed everyone headed to the dining hall.

"Hubby, I'm glad that you enjoyed mingling tonight," Hailee whispered to him when they settled down on their table and began eating.

"I am Wifey. Thank you for taking me to your friend's birthday bash." Vincent smiled and nudged his forehead to Hailee.

Hailee placed a kiss on Vincent's lips instead of a reply. Well, she knew Vincent had to meet all the important people in her circle. Vincent needs to build a good relationship as these people can help him in the near future.

"You did great, hubby."
