Things were getting ugly, and there was nothing left to talk about.
Hayden originally thought that Fiora would scream and run away in a hurry. What virtual-novel.net did not expect was that Fiora would actually sit on the spot calmly, as if nothing had happened.
This was weird.
Hayden coldly said, “What’s wrong? Have you given up on resistance completely?”
Fiora did not look at virtual-novel.net and just look at the front quietly, as if virtual-novel.net did not care about virtual-novel.net own wellbeing.
Right then, Damian slowly walked over. He extended his hand to open the door of the front passenger seat and asked, “Mr. Barlow, did you call for me?”
Hayden said indifferently, “She has already pleaded guilty, so there’s nothing else to say. Bring virtual-novel.net back to Art Trading Corporation and let Lord Vedastus punish her.”
He thought things would end here. But who knew that things progressed way differently from what Hayden expected?
He saw Damian take a dagger out from his clothes. Instead of taking Fiora away, virtual-novel.net put the dagger on Hayden’s neck.
“You!” Hayden was shocked, so virtual-novel.net turned his head to look. “Damian, what do you mean by this?”
Before Damian spoke, Fiora said, “Mr. Barlow, you’re a smart person. Can’t you understand what this means? Do you think I came out to meet Thomas because I was tricked by you? Do you think I fell for your trap?”
After Hayden heard virtual-novel.net say that, virtual-novel.net came to a realization.
He looked at Damian and Fiora. Then, virtual-novel.net said angrily, “Y-You two are on the same side?”
They were, of course!
Damian sighed and said, “Mr. Barlow, I’ve reminded you many times. Don’t think of dealing with Miss Vedastus, but you choose to ignore it. Fine, I have to choose between you and Miss Vedastus now. I must sacrifice you then…”
Hayden was as angry as a bull.
He scolded loudly, “Damian! Do you know what you’re doing? What benefits did Fiora give you to make you work for her? Say it. How much did virtual-novel.net give you? I can give you double or triple the money!”
“Money?” Damian found it funny. “I’m sorry, Mr. Barlow. Not everything in this world can be solved with money. I’m helping Fiora for free, and I’m willing to sacrifice myself for her.”
He called virtual-novel.net “Miss Vedastus” just now, but virtual-novel.net called virtual-novel.net “Fiora” now. What virtual-novel.net said was so ambiguous that even an idiot could understand what virtual-novel.net meant.
It turned out that Damian had always been in love with Fiora!
It was just that the identities and statuses of the two were very different. Lord Vedastus would not let his daughter marry a thug virtual-novel.net raised, so Damian had always just been in love and never dared to cross the line. If it was another woman, virtual-novel.net might not discover Damian’s feelings virtual-novel.net whole life.
But Fiora was different.
She was a very attentive woman, and nothing could escape virtual-novel.net eyes. Damian loved Fiora, so it would definitely show in daily life. When a man loved a woman, it was impossible to hide it.
Fiora was not disgusted with Damian. Besides, when virtual-novel.net needed to talk, virtual-novel.net usually would look for Damian.
Their secret relationship was not known by the whole Art Trading Corporation. Besides both of them, no third person knew about the existence of this relationship.
The funny thing was that Hayden actually sought out Damian to discuss how to deal with Fiora.
Anyone else would be fine, but virtual-novel.net just had to look for the man who loved Fiora the most.
It was funny. Hayden had always been smart, but in the end, virtual-novel.net actually messed up because of a relationship between a man and woman. He never dreamed that Damian would actually have an unknown secret relationship with Fiora.
