Chapter 298 - A Glimpse Of His Future (1/2)

Vincent put back his phone in his trench coat after the call. He went back to the bar counter; Shun poured a whisky on his glass this time.

”Thanks…” Vincent picks up the glass, toast in the air, and then says, ”How honored I am to be served by Chairman Crow.”

Shun chuckled. He shook his head after he emptied his glass. ”The honor is mine, Vincent. As I've mentioned already, we are a family now… I need not say this… Nothing I want from you but to make my cousin happy.”

Vincent smiled, then with a serious gaze, he told Shun. ”Of course… She's my existence. I live until today because of her.”

Shun was satisfied with his retort. He patted Vincent on the shoulder, poured another glass of whisky. They were discussing the projects he was working on in Dream City.

Crow Corporation is one of its major investors. According to Shun, the Davies Corporation can fund the city's construction without other investments. But it will be wise to get the giant corporation involved, gathering a solid foundation by having powerful business associates.

That is why Hailee built the Davies Group as a sister company of Davies Corporation. Davies Group is only focused on building the city, while Davies Corporation continued its operation to their investments worldwide, particularly as a leading company in Australia.

Hailee is the sole heiress of a multibillion telecommunication company in Australia. The Davies Corporation is a major investor in many real estates all over the Oceanic Continent, including hotels, modern apartments, high-end beach resorts, logistics, and international industries.

Where did the Davies get all of their wealth?

Hailee's forefathers are the first miners in Australia.

”I guess I need not mention what minerals and gemstones Hailee's great grandfather's dig in that land,” said Shun. Vincent nodded in response.

He needed not say a word as he completely understood what Shun had been talking about. He doesn't want to think about the tons of gold under Hailee's name, or diamonds kept somewhere inside an underground facility somewhere in Australia.

He did not dare to imagine how many millions of tons of minerals they've dug already for in a hundred years.

He is aware of what kinds of gemstones are found in Australia. The Shen wealth is just tens of Hailee's inheritance. That is why the Elders disagree with their marriage.

Whoever marries Hailee can not compare to a king, but he could have the title of an Emperor.

However, he's never after Hailee's wealth. In fact, it was a great pressure on his part to prove himself to be clean and had pure intentions.

Then, Shun went on…

”Don't mind what everyone throws at you once the entire world knows you are the man Hailee will marry. It will be you and her and not them.”

Vincent's eyes glimmer at Shun's advice. No wonder he's the one seated on that throne. He has a better judgment, knowing he is Hailee's family; he was delighted Shun did not misjudge him but trusted him—he could make Hailee happy.

After a few more glasses as their talk went on, Shun could read he had something in mind but was reluctant to fire away from his out of curiosity question.

”Just spill it out.” Shun encouraged him.

Vincent chuckled, pondering whether to let out what was on his mind. Later on, he shared his thoughts.

”During our flight, dad shared with me many secrets regarding the Council of Elder and the High Royal Family history… And he mentioned that….” Vincent couldn't help but trail off his entire sentence.

Shun smiled, then continued the words Vincent left off… ”—that Lady Isabella is my original wife in my first life?”

Vincent nodded.

Shun looked outside the window. After a few seconds, he turned his gaze back to Vincent and replied, ”It was all in the past where I could remember nothing, whereas she had all the memories in the past three hundred years.”

Vincent didn't leave his gaze but listened to Shun intently as the guy went on…

”All I have in my heart is one woman—I would follow whatever timeline she was reincarnated next...”

Vincent did all the means to ponder Shun's explanation. Their history is messy and beyond the ordinary person's ability to measure the depths of the mystery—the Elders have been hiding from the world.

If he didn't meet Hailee and fall in love with her, he would probably grow old and die in this world without learning these secrets.

But then, he realized one thing about this talk. There is something common between him and Shun—they wanted to be with the same woman even in their next life and the next life.

Also, he remembered what Hailee often says to him…

”I don't want to be part of Shun's worlds….”
