Young Master Vance Has An Enchanting Wife!-Chapter 83: What Will He Do?

May also understood that the situation was quite tense recently, so she nodded and said, "I know, I won’t run out recklessly."

She turned her head to look at the oppressive sky outside, suddenly thinking of the Red Dragon she saw that night in Crestwood, and couldn’t help but ask Jacob Jennings, "Is there any news about the Jade Pendant?"

Before she left the police station, she had asked Director Lawson about the Jade Pendant, but Director Lawson’s answer was that from start to finish, he had never seen the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant she described. Director Lawson had no reason to deceive her, so the Pendant must still be with Melanie, or it was taken by Arthur Vance.

She calculated that if it had really fallen into Arthur Vance’s hands, with Arthur’s forcefulness, he would have already made a move against her, and wouldn’t have waited until now, so Melanie must not have handed the Pendant over to Arthur yet.

Since it hadn’t been given to Arthur, she still had hope of getting it back.

"The whereabouts of the Pendant are still unknown. The Young Master believes it might still be with Melanie. Currently, Mason Morgan has been arrested, and Melanie must be like a frightened bird, losing her composure. I’ve already ordered people to watch her. If she makes any move, our people will capture her at the first moment," Jacob Jennings honestly replied to May.

Hearing this, May shook her head and said to Jacob worriedly, "This sitting-waiting-for-a-rabbit method won’t work. Melanie isn’t a fool. Seeing Mason getting arrested, she will definitely deal with the matter of the Pendant first. She won’t let us catch any handle on her."

"That’s true, but the police can’t convict her now. It isn’t easy for us to pry the Pendant’s whereabouts out of her mouth either."

May frowned and didn’t speak. When she turned to look out the window again, the rain outside had already started pouring down torrentially.

She suddenly felt a chill and hugged herself tighter, with Jacob watching from the side, asking her worriedly, "Madam, are you feeling cold? How about resting early?"

May was just missing Vincent, thinking about his warm embrace, but whenever she thought about Vincent, she recalled Mason’s curse-like words. She didn’t believe in fate, but she also worried that Vincent might get hurt because of her.

"Sometimes I feel that Vincent and I might not be suitable..."

Thinking of her mother, thinking of her grandmother, thinking of Monica Lambert’s family’s tragic situation, May’s heart suddenly became particularly conflicted. She was very fond of Vincent’s embrace and warmth, but if the price was his life, then she would rather choose to let go.

Caring too much for someone makes you overly cautious, even a bit neurotic.

Jacob Jennings looked at May in confusion and asked, "Madam, why do you say that? Our Young Master is genuinely fond of you."

"I know..." May’s nose suddenly felt sore, her voice murmuring, almost to the point of tears: "When I was talking with my dad just now, he told me that my destiny is bad, that I am cursed, and that whoever is good to me will end up terribly. I think maybe Vincent and I are not meant to be."

"Is that so? Then I think you and our Young Master do make a great match." Jacob smiled faintly, kindly comforting May, "Don’t worry, our Young Master is tough; nothing will happen to him."

Jacob’s words made May involuntarily force a bitter smile: "Actually, I don’t believe in fate, but I care too much about Vincent, so I’m still afraid. Can you understand this feeling?"

Looking at May’s worried and anxious face, Jacob’s heart stirred slightly, empathetically saying, "If the Young Master knew how much you cared about him, he would be over the moon."

Pausing for a moment, Jacob suddenly sighed and said to May in a low voice, "When the Young Master was ten, his father passed away. By twelve, his mother died in a car accident. Although the old master treated him well, his trials were beyond what ordinary people could endure. During that time, I was with the Young Master, witnessing how he walked step by step through the old master’s iron-fisted pressure. In truth, he yearns for someone to genuinely care for him too. Life is hard, who doesn’t crave true affection? Madam, if you really want to be good to our Young Master, don’t believe any rumors, genuinely cherish every day with the one you care about."

Jacob, though usually not very talkative, when he did open up to guide someone, his words were always spot-on. May, listening to his advice, suddenly saw things more clearly.

What he said made sense; life is inherently tough, why make things hard on oneself? Just live each day well, isn’t that enough?

"You’re right. Once the matter of the Pendant is resolved, I’ll make sure to live well with Vincent." May smiled, the worries on her face finally easing away.

Jacob looked at May meaningfully, suddenly expressing with emotion, "I now finally understand why the Young Master likes you so much."

"Why?"

"Maybe you both share a similar fate, living like orphans, yet still so strong and resilient."

"Not really, Vincent’s parents may have passed early, but at least he has a sister. As for me? My sister spends all her time scheming against me. If she doesn’t flay me alive, she’s not happy." Thinking of Melanie, May’s mood, which had just lightened, became heavy once again.

"The Young Master cherishes Miss Maxwell dearly, but such affection, after all, has its limits. She is only his sister, not someone he loves dearly; there are many things he can’t confide in her. Do you understand what I mean?" Jacob earnestly looked at May, speaking softly.

Confide in heart? But Vincent hasn’t mentioned them to her, has he?

May blinked, somewhat awkwardly saying, "He hasn’t talked to me about his inner matters, maybe he doesn’t care about me that much either."

Jacob chuckled and explained to her, "That’s because the Young Master feels your heart hasn’t been entirely with him yet, so of course, he wouldn’t dare to reveal his heart to you. If he knew how worried you were about him, do you think he’d hide anything from you?"

After these words, Jacob turned and left, intentionally suggesting to May as he went out, "Since it’s raining and you can’t go out, if you feel bored, Miss May, why not have a video chat with the Young Master to pass the time?"

After Jacob closed the door and left, May turned to look at the increasingly dim sky outside, picked up her phone, and lay on the bed, planning to call Vincent.

After finding Vincent’s phone number, she hesitated again, thinking of Maxwell, and the WeChat message Adam Owens sent her.

If what Adam said is true, and he hadn’t sent her any WeChat messages, then the person pretending to be him to contact her must have been Maxwell.

Though she didn’t know Maxwell very well, she knew that Maxwell loved Adam deeply for many years. If it weren’t for her presence, perhaps Adam would now be engaged to Maxwell, which is probably why Maxwell consistently detested her to the extreme.
