Young Master Vance Has An Enchanting Wife!-Chapter 157: Forced Choices

Thinking about that night when May Morgan broke Butler Lawson’s fingers and punched him in the head, almost killing him, Victor Grant couldn’t help but jump up from the sofa.

"Damn, you’re asking me what’s wrong with your wife? You’re her husband, sharing a bed with her every day, and you don’t know what’s wrong? I’m even starting to wonder if you have a masochistic tendency. Such a violent tigress, and you’re okay with that?"

Victor Grant’s words left Vincent Vance bewildered: a tigress? Violent? Was he really talking about his wife May?

"Please speak clearly; my wife is not like what you describe. She’s very gentle."

"Gentle? Have you not seen her bend steel bars with her bare hands and break stones on her chest? It’s absolutely astonishing. Butler Lawson’s fingers were broken by her personally. Damn, that speed, that strength, people might even believe she’s Wonder Woman."

Out of pride, Victor Grant certainly wouldn’t mention in front of Vincent Vance that he was beaten by May, so he just brought up the part about breaking Butler Lawson’s fingers.

Vincent Vance and Jacob Jennings exchanged a glance, both feeling that Victor Grant was talking nonsense. They’ve all seen how May usually is—just a delicate girl, not at all like the terrifying image Victor described.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this. There’s something I want to ask you, and I hope you’ll tell me the truth."

Vincent Vance tactfully changed the subject and stared directly at Victor Grant, questioning him word by word: "Can you tell me, who sent you to the villa?"

Upon hearing this, Victor Grant quickly shifted his eyes and feigned confusion, responding to Vincent Vance: "Are you stupid? Who else could it be? Didn’t you call me to go over and protect your wife?"

Vincent Vance knew he wasn’t being truthful, so he couldn’t help but continue pressing, "I did call you, but I remember you clearly refused. What changed your mind?"

Victor Grant looked at Vincent Vance and Jacob Jennings, chuckled, and said, "Yeah, I came to my senses. It’s hard to make money these days, so why not earn some extra cash from the Eldest Master Vance? Look, just one night, and I’ve got so much money. Isn’t it easy money?"

After saying that, Victor Grant waved the check in his hand deliberately in front of Vincent Vance.

Seeing this, Vincent Vance assumed he wasn’t planning to tell the truth and sighed in resignation, standing up to leave: "Since you’re not going to be honest with me, so be it. But I still want to thank you for helping me last night."

Seeing him about to leave, Victor Grant didn’t even get up from the sofa, just replied politely: "Leaving? Remember to call me next time there’s such a good opportunity. I have many guys, taking down your grandpa’s men is no problem."

Vincent Vance glanced at him without speaking, decisively left Victor Grant’s warehouse with Jacob Jennings.

Just after stepping out of Victor Grant’s warehouse, Vincent Vance’s phone suddenly rang. It was Aunt Miller from home calling.

He picked up the phone and asked first, "Did the young mistress ask you anything?"

The other side answered truthfully, "She did. She asked about the phone and the recorder but didn’t make it too difficult for me. I cried, and she softened and didn’t pursue further."

Hearing Aunt Miller’s words, Vincent Vance sighed slightly, speaking with some emotion: "The young mistress is kind-hearted, she’s just trying not to make things difficult for you. But losing such important items, she’s not going to let it go unnoticed."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Miller quickly and nervously asked Vincent Vance, "Then what should I do? Will the young mistress still suspect me of taking them?"

Vincent Vance pondered for a moment, then suggested to the housemaid in a negotiating tone: "Aunt Miller, I’ll give you a million dollars. You resign now, and if anyone asks, just make up a reason. Leave Zenith Villa for a while."

Vincent Vance suddenly offering so much money and asking her to resign made Jacob Jennings dubious, and he quickly turned to glance at Vincent Vance.

When he saw the helplessness on Vincent Vance’s face, he suddenly understood his meaning.

Aunt Miller, still in the dark, heard Vincent Vance wanting to dismiss her, and hurriedly pleaded with him: "Eldest Master Vance, I’ve been with you for so many years and always performed well. Why are you suddenly asking me to resign? At my age, where could I possibly go if I leave?"

Vincent Vance tried to be patient as he explained to her, "I know you’re getting older, and it’s not easy to find another job, so I’m giving you a million to retire. But you must keep this to yourself. If anyone asks, just say you had family matters to attend to."

Vincent Vance was so clear about his intentions that Aunt Miller couldn’t not understand. Although she didn’t want to be charged with stealing, this was Vincent’s request, and she had no choice but to accept it.

"Then... I’ll go back to my hometown now? It’s not about the money, what’s important is keeping the young mistress happy and not upsetting her."

Of course Aunt Miller knew who took May’s things, and she also understood why Vincent was doing this, so she readily agreed.

Seeing her agreement, Vincent was very pleased and promised her: "Rest assured, I’ll have someone bring the money to you shortly."

Despite her feelings, Aunt Miller was quite happy. A million dollars amounted to more than what she could make at the Vance home in ten years, and receiving it now, even with a hint of petty theft suspicion, she trusted Vincent would handle it properly for her.

Jacob Jennings patiently waited until Vincent Vance ended the call before asking him: "Eldest Master Vance, are you planning to destroy that video?"

Vincent Vance looked down, opened the video May had sent him on his phone, hesitated a bit, then decided to delete it permanently.

"Yes, I’ll deliver what May recorded to the old man tomorrow. I just don’t want to make things too tense for now."

Jacob Jennings glanced at Vincent’s face with a complex expression and said faintly, "You know, doing this will hurt the young mistress’s feelings."

Vincent was also trapped by his circumstances but felt powerless. How else could he handle it? The video May made wouldn’t be decisive. If it’s not deleted, the old man could use it as a pretext to cause trouble, making things even more awkward for him.

"I know, but I have no choice. May is right in what she wants to do, but she hasn’t seen the whole picture. I’m not yet the executive director of the Vance Group; the power still lies with my grandfather. If things really escalate, with his capabilities, I can only surrender. Also, you saw it last time, those poisonous insects were clearly sent by him to attack us. We still don’t know the full extent of the power he holds. Acting rashly, do you think that’s wise?"
