She Got A Better Man

"Alright, I'll tell you the truth, Elvira. Your grandmother asked me to come see you. Now that everything is clear, it's only you and Marsh who are my

children.

"She wants to pass the Willis Group on to you. Please, don't refuse. This is what both of us want. Vincent revealed the purpose of his visit.

Elvira heard this and couldn't help but laugh bitterly. She laughed so hard she almost couldn't stop. "Vincent, do you still think I'm the same naive girl I used to be? The Willis Group has already been completely wrecked by Judy. "It's just an empty shell now. The money has been drained out clearly. Whoever takes it over will be burned. I don't know how much investment it would take just to keep it afloat.

"Getting back to break even would take at least ten years, and making a profit anytime soon is out of the question. Your so-called 'good intentions' are still as malicious as ever. I don't want that mess. You can keep it for your old age." Vincent's face darkened when he heard how well Elvira understood the state of the company. He had been rejected by Judy repeatedly without mercy, and now Elvira's words made him freeze for a moment.

This was no longer the soft, innocent girl she once was. She had turned into someone as hard as a stone.

He could really feel her ice-cold heart. Perhaps she would always treat him so coldly.

Vincent suddenly longed for the little girl who used to cling to him and act cute.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, his voice faltering. "Can't you forgive me just this once? I was tricked by Amber."

"I've forgiven you a thousand times. But this time, I don't want to forgive you, ever. So, from now on, don't ever show up in front of me again.

"Even if I die, I will never acknowledge you as anything but the scum that you are," Elvira said coldly, her gaze freezing Vincent in place. Her words pierced through him like ice, making his heart ache with every beat.

"What about the company... aren't you going to think about it? It's a company worth over 20 million dollars," Vincent asked, trying one last time, hoping Elvira might change her mind.

"I'll be honest with you," Elvira said, her voice chilling. "I hate the Willis Group. I just want to see it go bankrupt and disappear. Is that what you wanted to hear? Now, get out of here she snapped.

"I have one more question. Where's your brother?" Vincent knew he had no hope of mending things with Elvira, so he focused on trying to gain some leverage through his son.

Elvira almost laughed in disbelief. "So now that you know Judy isn't your biological child, you suddenly remember you have a son?"

Vincent's face went pale. He didn't know how to answer her. He stood there, weary and helpless, looking like someone who had been drained of all energy. Lately, he had truly been exhausted, on the verge of collapse.

"I don't know where he is. He went missing at school, and it was arranged by Amber. Amber did it to drive a wedge between me and Marsh. I can't even see him now, let alone have any relationship with him.

"I don't know where he is," Elvira replied, her voice flat. She wasn't going to tell Vincent where Marsh was. A man like him didn't deserve to have children.novelbin

'Now that he knows Judy isn't his, he suddenly remembers me and my brother. He thinks he can somehow get one of us to take care of him in his old age? What a joke, Elvira thought bitterly.

Sat,

Vincent stared at her, realizing that since leaving the Willis family, Elvira had never shown him the slightest kindness. He knew that no matter what he said today, it wouldn't change anything.

But he still couldn't give up. "The company... you really won't take it back? It's your grandmother's lifelong work. Can't you at least try to help save it?"

He finally told the truth. Elvira couldn't help but laugh again, the sound full of irony. "Grandmother? Whose grandmother are you talking about? Have you ever seen a grandmother who treats her own granddaughter like an enemy, wishing she were dead? Stop disgusting me. Now you've said everything, and I've made myself perfectly clear. I reject you, and I reject everything you stand for.

"So don't come here begging me anymore. You should be able to see that no matter what you want to do, I won't agree. I won't ever acknowledge you or any of your plans."

With that, she firmly got someone to escort Vincent out of her office. As he staggered out of the Gilbert Tower, he suddenly collapsed, and the security guards had to rush him to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Zach arrived at Elvira's office. He was deeply concerned about her, especially since she was pregnant now and needed to stay calm. He didn't want her to get upset over this situation. Elvira had originally felt her emotions getting the best of her, but as soon as she saw Zach, her mood lifted. She immediately leaned into him, asking for a hug.

"If you don't want to see him, then don't. I'll handle everything for you," Zach said, his voice filled with concern as he gently patted her head.

Elvira rested her head on his shoulder. "I need to handle this myself. I want to see him, to witness his miserable state. That way, I'll know all the effort I've put in these past years hasn't been in vain."

"You need to take care of yourself. Don't let these people affect you," Zach replied, still feeling it would be better if she stayed away. Even though the boundaries were clear now, he couldn't bear the thought of her truly being unaffected by it all.

Just then, Elvira's phone rang. She quickly grabbed it and answered. After listening to the person on the other end, her expression darkened. "Judy's run away," she said.

"I heard. I'll send people after her right now," Zach said immediately, pulling out his phone to give instructions.

She's "Don't bother looking for her. She's at the end of her rope. Right now, the one person she hates the most is me. running to get back at me. We'll just make sure my surroundings are even more secure. Let her come. I'm ready for her," Elvira said, her voice firm. She knew that if Judy managed to escape even with such tight security, someone powerful must have been helping her. Judy had clearly invested heavily in her escape.

"No, we still need to search. Making arrangements is necessary too. From now on, I'll stay with you. We can't be apart anymore," Zach replied, frustration seeping into his voice.

'How could it be that even with all the bodyguards and police in place, a dangerous person like Judy could get away?' he wondered.

Elvira didn't show any sign of frustration but instead gave him a calm look. "Fine, you can arrange everything. I'll follow your lead," she said. She didn't want Zach to worry, especially now that she was pregnant.

If she weren't carrying a child, she might have found a way to ease his concern, but given the circumstances, she could hardly blame him for feeling anxious. She herself was already nervous, and she knew it would only be worse for him.

Zach wasted no time inmasking the necessary arrangements. He meant what he said, and he immediately moved his worl into her office. He would even wait by the door when she went to the bathroom, ensuring she was always protected. Elvira said nothing. This pregnancy had come with great difficulty. If she had trouble getting pregnant again, this might very well be her only child. She knew there was no such thing as being too cautious

What broke her heart, though, was knowing how hard Zach would have to work now.

"You haven't had your prenatal checkup yet. Have they told you when you can go?" Zach asked, concern clear in his voice.

"Samantha said I can go in about two weeks. She'll arrange it," Elvira replied.

"Okay. Aside from her, no one else can be trusted," Zach said, his tone firm. He was being cautious, even to the point of overprotectiveness. He would not allow anyone to hurt his wife or their children.
