Chapter 2762
“If that’s really the case, then I can’t trust you after all!”
“All these years, I’ve misjudged you!”
Lexie raised her head and glared at Vince with a grim look.
She didn’t expect Young Lord York himself to lose his mind to this extent for the sake of a
mere woman.
“This isn’t about being reckless, Lexie. All of Hong Kong and Las Vegas knows that the Five Virtues
Temple stands behind me,” Vince calmly replied.
“Even if Harvey and Teal only met by sheer coincidence, our fragile alliance with the Five Virtues
Temple will crumble if someone decides to spread rumors about this. This is all the more
possible when considering Teal’s status.”
“Besides, as a man, I cannot allow anyone to tarnish my dignity!”
“I’d rather die than let that man be with Teal.”
Lexie reached out and caressed Vince’s handsome face gently.
“You’d rather die?” she whispered after a long pause.
“That isn’t something a noble like you should be saying, Vince.” e
“This is a crucial moment in your life. You need to think before you act. Don’t let these petty things
distract you from taking your position.”
“Why would I arrange all these things if it weren’ t for you?!”
“Still, thinking back… I feel like I’ve acted a little too recklessly as well this time.”
“We should keep ourselves hidden for the time being.”
“When we get what we want, we can crush that little bastard with all our might!”
Lexie hated Harvey to the core, but she managed to calm herself down after sitting in the car for
some time.
The man who dared to slap her in the face was truly bold and capable.
If Vince kept fighting against that man, he would gain nothing other than complications that would
prevent his rise to power.
Thus, the best course of action would be to plan out everything before making any necessary
moves.
Harvey’s slap not only enraged and intimidated Lexie, but it also wisened the arrogant woman for a
little bit.
Before, the lady of the Dragon Palace and the fifth lady of the Yorks would never make the decision to
hide.
Vince went dead silent for a long time before finally saying, “We can ignore Harvey and his situation
with Teal for now.”
“I’ll even let him off the hook, just so I can take my position.”
“The problem is, would he let me off the hook if I do?”
“Let’s not talk about things from way back when. How far do you think Selena has gone through with
her investigations on what happened ten years ago?”
“Harvey incited this.”
“If Selena manages to find anything, forget
rising to power. I won’t even be able to survive!”
“If anything goes wrong, I might have to flee this place.”
Vince scoffed, his face disdainful.
Everything was all driven by fate.
He could keep himself hidden, but his current situation didn’t allow him to do such a thing.
Lexie’s eyes grew cold. Then she said, “If we want the situation to get better, we’ll have to take care of
the root cause. There’s no need to go against Harvey directly, either.”
“We’ll just deal with Selena instead.”
“I don’t think a lot of people will care about some infertile hag dying so suddenly, no?”
“At least, Grandma York doesn’t seem to care about her anymore.”
