Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 776

In the study.

After breakfast, Vincent and Ruben headed upstairs while Morgan took Elaine for a walk around the villa.

Immediately, Ruben placed the information that he received in the morning on Vincent's desk, then leaned against the chair and casually said, "About what you ordered me to find yesterday, these are the information that you wanted."

Calmly, Vincent raised an eyebrow and picked up the file.

Everything in the file was about Elaine's background.

The Jacob's Family was a simple family with an ordinary background. It was known that Elaine had an elder sister and a younger brother. Other than that, her parents had a small local business back in her hometown too. Although her family's life was not luxurious, it was still enough for them to get by.

Slowly, Ruben lifted his chin and said, "The first page is some basic information about her family, whereas the second page is the inside information that they managed to inquire."

Soon, Vincent flipped to the second page and began to read. After he read a few words, he gradually frowned.

Even Ruben let out a sigh. Earlier that morning, when he read the information, he also felt inexplicably upset.

On the second page, it stated that Elaine had always given her all to her family, and she would transfer a certain amount of money back to her family every month. In fact, she had barely kept any of her salary for herself. For girls who were her age, who would even say no to dressing up?

However, Elaine hardly went shopping for herself.

Perhaps, in her mind, it was better to transfer the money to her family than to buy things.

"For a girl like her who dedicated so much to her family, I really don't know whether to say she's stupid or to say that the family that is too harsh on her!" With a sneer, Ruben continued, "Besides, I've also heard that she was the one who paid for her elder sister's rent and her brother's tuition fee. Other than being an elder sister, she was also like a parent to them. In fact, her family seems to be enjoying it as if it was ought to be."

As Vincent looked at the information in his hand, he remained silent.

Although Ruben had no idea what

Vincent was thinking about, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he looked at Vincent's expressionless face. "Aren't you going to say something?"

The moment Vincent finished reading the information, he shredded them with a shredding machine and said nonchalantly, "I'll forget about this injury that her family caused her. In the future, if her family were to come and cause her trouble, I want you to find someone to solve the problem."

Shocked, Ruben almost fell to the ground. "Uhm... may I ask, what do you mean by 'solve the problem'? Are we both thinking about the same thing?"

Under normal circumstances, if Vincent were to tell Ruben to 'solve the problem', what he meant would be killing the person to prevent any future troubles.

With a frown, Vincent asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Uhm... what I thought was to go visit her family and give them a warning about it. After that, I will tell them to behave themselves and not to cause any trouble in the future."

Then, the corners of Vincent's lips curled up faintly. "Ruben, do I seem like such a kind person to you?"

When Ruben heard that question, he was speechless.

As Vincent's gaze flashed a hint of darkness, he uttered, "If there were to be another incident, make sure to get rid of everything and leave nothing behind."

With a deep frown, Ruben said, "Normally, I wouldn't care much about what you want to do, but this time, you're not allowed to do so. Those people that you want to get rid of are Elaine's family. If she were to know about it, what do you think she would think of you?" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Surprised, Vincent replied, "Of course, she would thank me for it. What else could she be thinking about?"

"You wanted to kill her family, and you still expect her to be grateful to you?"

Was he out of his mind?

Well, Ruben did not have the guts to say it straight to Vincent's face.

At that moment, Vincent frowned slightly. Clearly, he was unable to understand Ruben's words. "What's the matter? Since they're causing her trouble, I'm just helping her to solve it. Why would she be unhappy about it then?"

Then, Ruben sighed and walked over with the thought of giving a pat on Vincent's shoulder.

However, before his palm fell, Vincent immediately avoided it.

Taken aback, Ruben was speechless.

What was the big deal for being a cleanliness freak? In fact, he even stopped Ruben from touching his shoulder, when he was the one who slept soundly with Elaine last night! Why wasn't he a cleanliness freak at that time? What a hypocrite!

After Ruben cursed in his heart, he felt much better. Then, he explained, "Don't judge a normal person by your own principle and thoughts. The people you usually deal with are not normal, and to them, there is no such thing as family affection. Besides, Elaine is a normal person, so if you kill her family, she would definitely want to take revenge on your family too."

The eyebrows of Vincent furrowed deeper as if he had encountered a huge problem. But, just as Ruben thought he had figured it out, he opened his thin lips and said, "I don't have a family for her to kill."

"Pft!"

Those words almost made Ruben pass out. Since just now, he had been trying to explain to him, but he didn't expect Vincent to get such a conclusion from everything that he had explained.

How did Vincent have his focus on the wrong thing?

In fact, Ruben was too lazy to bother about Vincent anymore, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it. You'll never understand what I am trying to say. If you were to understand it, you would have long understood it. Anyway, I only have one last thing to remind you. Don't hurt Elaine's family, or else, she would collapse."

Even if her family did not treat her well, they were still her family after all.

And blood was thicker than water.

In the meantime, while Elaine followed Morgan around the villa, she looked around and sighed, "This place is huge. It would definitely take a lot of effort to clean it up."

However, Morgan felt that Elaine was extremely cute. "Miss Jacob, don't worry. There are many servants at home, so it doesn't take much effort to clean up every day."

Embarrassed, Elaine smiled.

A moment later, he asked one of the servants to pour her a cup of water. After Elaine drank it, she saw Morgan's hesitant expression, so she quickly asked understandingly, "Morgan, do you have anything to say to me?"

Immediately, Morgan replied, "Indeed, but I don't know how to tell you about it."

"Just go ahead and tell me about it. As long as it's within my means, I will do it."

"Ahem, okay. I'll tell you then."

"Sure."

"Miss Jacob, is it okay if you move in?" As Morgan asked, he looked at her expectantly.

When Elaine heard that question, she was so stunned that she couldn't respond for a moment. "Well, if... if I were to move here, who would be in charge of the cleanliness of Dr. Perkin's apartment?"

In fact, she thought that Morgan wanted her to work at this villa, so she asked.

But Morgan thought she was worried that no one would clean the house of Perkins Family, so he quickly said, "Miss Jacob, you don't have to worry about it. I will solve this matter."

By then, he could just find someone to pretend to be her family member and inform Howard that she had returned to her hometown since Howard probably wouldn't get to the bottom of it for the sake of a servant.

Then, Elaine thought for a moment and asked, "Was it Dr. Perkins who asked me to come over?"

As Morgan shook his head, he answered, "He didn't say anything about that. He only said that you would be living here in the future. Since it's inconvenient for you to return to the apartment in the center of the city, so I thought of asking you to move over so that it would be easier for you to take care of him in the future."

"But wouldn't it be more convenient for Dr. Perkins to get to work if he were to live in that apartment in the center of the city? This villa is too far from where he works." In fact, Elaine couldn't figure out why Dr. Perkins wanted to do this.

However, Morgan smiled and said, "Well, it's because he will no longer be working in the hospital in the future."

"Huh?" That was really shocking for Elaine. "Why?"
