Chapter 650
“He’s been suspended and is under investigation, writing reports.”
Yvonne’s expression hardened. “What did Seth say?”
“He’s pulling strings and calling in favors everywhere.”
Upon hearing this, Yvonne’s expression softened. “As long as he hasn’t abandoned you, that’s good. It seems Seth really does care about you.”
Bianca was also surprised by this. After everything had happened, she had expected Seth to do what everyone else predicted: cancel the engagement and cut all ties with her. But he hadn’t. He was even trying to find ways to help her family.
This was a true display of character in a time of crisis.
Yvonne continued, “When you couldn’t reach him about the loan sharks, I was furious. I thought he was going to break up with you and leave you high and dry, which forced me to go beg an old acquaintance for the money. It’s good that he paid it back once he found out.”
“Actually… on our engagement night, I was… assaulted,” Bianca confessed, her fists clenching and her face pale. “Seth found out, but he never said a word. He never brought it up again. He just told me to forget about it and look forward.”
Yvonne was stunned. She had asked Bianca about it back then, but Bianca had denied it, so she had assumed nothing had happened. She couldn’t believe this was the truth. What shocked her even more was that Seth knew and had never treated Bianca differently. He was just as good to her as before. It would be hard to do that if he didn’t genuinely love her.
“And what about this time? With the William situation, what did he say?” Yvonne was still worried.
Bianca bit her tip, her eyes filled with shame. “Seth said that everyone has a past, and he has no right to judge The moment he decided to get engaged to me, he told himself he had to accept all of me-thegood and the bad, the past and the present.”
If her past self had known she would one day meet a man who loved her so deeply, she would have lived a clean life, done nothing untoward, and waited purely for his arrival.
“Seth… he truly is a man worth entrusting your life to!” Yvonne was genuinely moved. She even instructed Bianca, “Don’t you ever betray Seth’s heart again. Stay with him and be good to him.”
Bianca nodded solemnly. “I will.”
“With Seth helping you, I can rest a little easier,” Yvonne said, feeling a bit more secure.
But Bianca was still worried. “But Aurelion Group has been dragged down by me. The stock has plummeted. I’m afraid it will go bankrupt like Ascendancy Group… and then he’ll truly have nothing left.”
Yvonne saw things differently. “If Aurelion Group is gone, there’s still Harcourt Group. That’s the real prize. Don’t forget Seths Wade’s only son. As long as Harcourt Group stands, Seth can’t possibly lose everything!”
“As for Wade, it doesn’t matter whether he accepts you or not. He’s going to die sooner or later anyway.”
Of course, Yvonne was also filled with regret. She regretted that Lana had failed, that she hadn’t actually managed to kill Wade. Otherwise, Harcourt Group, would have already fallen into Seth’s hands, and getting her and Lana’s children out of this mess wouldn’t have beeso difficult.
When Noreen finished up with the police and walked out of the station, Seth was
just arriving. Standing on the steps, her eyes met his dark, profound gaze.
