Chapter 142: I Received What You Sent
More and more people watching the show on the deck shouted in different languages, “Promise him! Promise him!”
Arianna lowered her head, “Vince, I don’t love you.”
“I do not care. ”
“I am not good for you. I will not be a good wife.”
“You will be a good mother, my child’s mother.”
“You could have found a woman ten times better than me.”
“For me, this kind of person doesn’t exist.”
The petals were still falling from the sky.
Arianna cried, “Vince, why me? Why don’t you let me go?”
He reached out and wiped her tears for her, “It’s your fault. I just thought of finding something to eat downstairs that day, and you suddenly stumbled into my sight like that. It was you who ran to me.”
Arianna cried more badly. Vince put her into his arms and patted her like pampering a child.
That morning, the passengers who got up early on this luxury passenger ship were fortunate enough to see such a strange and wonderful scene, and they kept speaking of it until many years later. A heroine cried like a baby in the rainfall of rose petals. It looked like she cried because she was moved. But when the male lead put on the ring for her, her expression was desperate, as if she was about to be hung. She did not struggle or refuse. When the male lead hugged her and took her back to the cabin, she hugged his neck obediently.
In fact, at that time, in Vince’s arms, Arianna, whose ring finger had just been put on a ring by him, said only one sentence, “Vince, I feel tired.”
Vince whispered, “I am here.”

Two weeks later, when Vince had just sat down at the office, his new assistant knocked on the door, “Good morning, Mr. Johnson, the trip must’ve been very enjoyable?”
He took a pen and crossed out on the piece of paper, and there were only a few phone numbers left, and he dialed back one by one.
Vince’s doctor and a friend laughed on the phone, “I heard that you did a very romantic and humiliating thing a few days ago? And, is it said that you were airborne to the ship in the middle of the night? Goodness, this is not like what you can pull off. You have to come back. I need to check your brain!”
“Even you know it? Is it so widespread?”
The doctor continued to laugh, “Isn’t it? I also heard that the government has given you a big yellow card warning.”
“There is also a huge fine ticket.” Vince laughed.
“However, that must be worth it? You won’t be doing business with no profit.” The doctor continued to ask, “Have you had frequent headaches recently?”
“No, I’m fine.”
“Now you see? I told you. As long as you don’t always dwell in the past, your head will be fine. Let the past go to hell and start all over, man. The Old lady has exerted more efforts to entirely changed your identity.”
Another call was made by Rebecca, telling him that she already had a new job and was about to marry.
“Congratulations, Rebecca.”
“I heard that you are also married, and the efficiency is really high. It seems that that woman is not too hard to get after all.”
“What kind of wedding gift do you need?”
“No, what Lady Johnson gave me is very generous. Your family is very generous, including Henry, who you hate very much… You are also very good at manipulating people. You are a true family.”
“Rebecca, if you need help in the future, remember to find me.”
“Vince, I don’t need your forgiveness, and I won’t bless you. I will never wish you happiness. She is just using you. She just treats you as a substitute. You are so pitiful. You have lost all the women who love you all over the world, and you chose the one who doesn’t love you.”
“Thank you, Rebecca.” Vince leaned back in his chair.
Rebecca hung up heavily.
Vince rubbed his head, dialed a few more calls, and finally received another encrypted file from the computer. He entered the password. The file contained a few obscure audios, but it was not difficult to tell the owner of the voice.
“Actually, I don’t hate him…. But in such a limited lifetime, I hope that everything I do in the future is meaningful…. I can forgive, but it does not mean that I can forget.”
“He is the one who indirectly killed my parents and grandfather. He destroyed my whole world. No matter how many things he did, this fact can never change. … There is something he can never give to me… If I was with him, I would have a nightmare every night… I will not allow that to happen to myself.”
Vince wore headphones, listened to these two recordings over and over again, and removed them completely at last.
He gave the last call to his grandmother, “You won.”
“What do you mean by ‘I won? Will you let go of your second uncle after what he did? Will you agree to inherit your family business? And, you really treat me as your grandmother but not your enemy? Remember you’re now Vince Johnson.”
“Everything is as you wish.” His voice was a little depressed.
“Young man, don’t pretend. You didn’t lose, right? You’re the only one that I have after he died in that accident that involved you two. When will you bring my granddaughter-in-law back to me?”
“You have seen her before.”
“How can it be the same? When I saw her last time, she was still an outsider. Now I can finally teach her in a proper way.”
Vince was busy all day, and he received a courier letter near the evening, marked with the words he must personally open it. He opened the envelopes and found two envelopes, both marked with the name of a special institution. The recipients were both Ms. Jenkins. The two letters looked exactly the same, but their seals had different colors. There were all the stamps from the course of the delivery. The last stamp marked the time as “This Morning,” and the address was his house.
In theory, these two things should have been in the hands of Arianna.
There was also a note in the letter, with only one phone number. He thought for a moment and dialed the phone number.
“I am Vince. I received what you sent. I don’t understand why they got here.”
The other side paused for a long time before speaking, “That is the result of two genetic tests, Mr. Johnson. The one with the red label says 100% match. The one with the green label shows that 25% of the genes are arranged differently.” He paused again and then continued, “You must’ve understood what this indicates. The genes of identical twins, even if the genetic arrangement at birth is exactly the same, will vary with age and life. Adult twins can’t have the exact same genes.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
