MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 88

Looking at the dark expression on Noah’s face, Nina could not help feeling furious.
It turned out that Vivian had poisoned Noah’s voice when they were younger. Nina had never met such a vicious person.

“LC Hotel is one of Ye Group’s properties, so Vivian and Jessica were able to enter and get information about guests easily. It seems that LC Hotel doesn’t protect the privacy of its guests from people with enough leverage.” Nina was never soft hearted to those who hurt the people she cared about.

“It also seems that Ye Group has many shortcomings under Vivian’s tutelage.

My brother is about to do business in Lexingport City. I don’t want him cooperating with companies under poor leadership.”

“Did you hear that, Wynn?” Leon asked, smirking.

“Yes, I did,” Wynn nodded. “We won’t cooperate with Ye Group and the companies associated with them.”

“Yes, that’s right.” Leon touched his sister’s head with a doting smile.

Hearing what Leon, Nina, and Wynn said, Vivian felt a bitter lump form in her throat, and the back of her eyes started burning. Everything they said was true.

She had just taken office, but she had already gotten the company into such big troubles. At the rate she was going, she would never be able to bring Ye Group to new heights, let alone keep it afloat.

Gaining a foothold in Lexingport City had become next to impossible.

The people here were all dignitaries in Lexingport City. Vivian glanced around the crowd and found herself able to hear her heartbeat in her ears. Everyone was staring at her with reproachful eyes.

Vivian could not bear such a blow. She suddenly felt dizzy and short of breath. She felt her knees give out, and she staggered backward.

Everyone behind her moved aside. None of them would ruin their future to help her.

The people Vivian had offended were not ordinary. They were the prince and princess of C Island.

No one in their right mind would dare offend anyone from C Island’s royal family.

At this critical moment, Vivian fainted, and Noah caught her just in time.

“She’s not feeling well. I’ll take her to her car.” Hearing Noah’s words, Leon and Nina did not make trouble for Vivian anymore.

Noah carried Vivian out of the hotel and put her in the back seat of her car. He slammed the door and said flatly, “You can stop pretending now. We’re alone.” Vivian’s hands and feet were stiff, and she still did not open her eyes.

She did not dare face Noah, who had helped her several times.

After a moment of silence, Noah said slowly, “When you and your mother came to our house, I was very happy. I’ve always wanted a little sister. I was jealous of everyone I knew who had siblings. I thought that having a little sister to call me brother and follow me around wherever I go would be great.

I didn’t understand why Aunt Kristina didn’t allow me to get close to you in the past. But in time, I understood, but I still chose to deny it. I’ve been denying it until tonight.

Noah was now lost in his memory. “My mother told me she would give birth to a girl so that I could be a brother. She passed away way too soon. And then you came. Although we didn’t have the same mother, I still treated you like my own sister. But you didn’t.”

Noah did not have much attachment to his own family, but still, blood was thicker than water. He felt bad for Vivian even if he did not have to.

It was because of sadness that Noah said decisively, “I thought about transferring all my shares to you. I didn’t need them anyway.

But I’ve changed my mind. If you’re still determined to lead Ye Group, then you can keep your designation as president.

If not, then I will find another qualified person who can lead my father’s company. I’m Ye Group’s biggest shareholder, and I have such power.

I think this is the first time that I have said so many words to you. I’m afraid it’s also the last time.

Drive safely, Vivian.” After saying that, he walked to his own car and left.

After a long time, Vivian slowly opened her eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.

She gritted her teeth and got out of the car. She slid into the driver’s seat, gunned the engine, and drove away.

With her driver-side window rolled all the way down, Vivian felt the sea breeze on her tearstained face. Through clenched teeth, she told herself, “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

‘No sane person will be willing to give up their shares.

Noah just said those words to make me feel guilty.

How can I believe him?

My mother said that I should get everything myself because no one’s going to give it to me for free.’

“I didn’t do anything wrong!” Vivian roared. The sea breeze reminded her of the mockery on the faces of everyone at the banquet. She floored the accelerator, hoping that the rush would somehow erase it all from her memory.

‘Why are you the princess of C Island, Nina?

Why did you marry Brother John?

This is not over.

Someday, you will pay for all the pain and humiliation you’ve caused me. I swear it.’

After Vivian was gone, the atmosphere in the banquet hall did not get any better.

Everyone instinctively turned to Jessica now, waiting for the prince’s next move.

Leon still had to deal with her.

“Jessica, John’s sister, right? The most wealthy lady in Lexingport City?” Leon asked.

Jessica pursed her lips. Even though Leon spoke gently with a smile tugging on the corner of his mouth, he stared at her with menacing eyes. She felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.

She had seen what happened to Vivian just now.

Leon just easily cut off any potential ties between his family and Ye Group like an unraveled piece of thread.

“Yes, Mr. Lu.” Jessica tried her best to keep calm and keep her breathing even. She squared her shoulders and looked directly at Leon.

Even though she was scared, she would never bring trouble or dishonor to her family.

As she was about to find out, her sixth sense was right. Leon was going to destroy her next after finishing off Vivian.

“Your family’s background is nothing in the eyes of our royal family,” Leon said casually. “I hear that you don’t think my sister deserves your brother. Is that true?”

“No! No! No…” Jessica could only stutter and shake her head violently. She was so flustered that she did not know how to answer. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, “No, I didn’t say that.”

With a faint smile, Leon pulled out a tiny headset from his ear and said, “I don’t understand why people in their 30s still like to lie. Aren’t you afraid that your bad behavior will affect the children in your family? I’ve heard that you think my sister doesn’t deserve your brother at all, that only a talented and rich lady like Vivian deserves him.”

When Jessica saw the headset, her eyes widened in surprise. She immediately looked around. May just stood there quietly. She could not figure out what was going on.

“I have a lot of spies on my payroll. They whisper truths in my ear. Don’t worry. I actually think you’re right. One should marry somebody more their equal. The Shi family and the Ye family are indeed well matched, but the Shi family and C Island’s royal family…”

Everyone understood what Leon meant even though he trailed off and did not finish his sentence.

Jessica’s face turned pale, and she averted her gaze.

‘I didn’t know Nina is the princess of C Island!

Why did Nina not tell me in the first place? She could have just walked up and said it the moment John introduced her to our family. I would not have made things difficult for her had she told me about her real identity.’

Regret washed over Jessica like a wave of acid.

Facing everyone’s judgmental gaze, she did not dare to be angry or say anything.
Next to her, Sam was so furious that he glared at his daughter. He pulled Jessica behind him and said with a smile, “It’s not her who has the final say in the Shi family, Mr. Lu. You’re a broad-minded gentleman. Don’t take my daughter’s stupid mistakes to heart. She’s just a simple-minded woman.”

Leon knew that Sam treated his sister well, so he naturally respected him.

Leon’s serious face gradually softened. “You must be kidding. I’m only turning twenty-four this year while Jessica is turning thirty-two. It’s a bit absurd that someone is still simple-minded at the age of thirty-two.”

Leon respected Sam, but there were lines that were not meant to be crossed.
Although Leon’s parents were strict with Nina, they would never allow people to bully her. Leon protected and took care of his sister. He would not allow anyone to trample her or make things difficult for her.

He could not just let Jessica off the hook without making her pay the price for inconveniencing a royalty of C Island.

“She may not have the final say in the Shi family, but she has been making my sister miserable since she married your son. Since Nina doesn’t live well in your family, I’ll take her back to C Island where she belongs.”

“What? No!” Sam’s lower lip quivered. “Nina’s my daughter-in-law. She can’t just leave.”

Leon replied calmly, “The woman legally listed as your son’s wife is Nina, a resident of Spring City, not the princess of C Island. So she is not officially your daughter-in-law.”

Nina was stunned.

‘My brother really did his homework. He had us thoroughly investigated,’

she thought. Her brother was right. She could not be considered as John’s legal wife.

The guests looked at each other. One of them whispered, “It seems that C Island didn’t approve of their marriage.”

“Alas! It was a good marriage!” An old artist standing next to Sam sighed and shook his head. “Your daughter is really thoughtless. What does she get from wrecking a marriage? You really should pay more attention to her. She has to stop meddling in other people’s business.”

Jessica bit her lip and lowered her head.
Now even the elders were blaming her.

She felt so ashamed and angry that she wanted to make herself disappear.
