His Contractual Mistress Chapter 71 – Who Is This Angel?

A few hours ago at M Resort…

She throws her bag on the couch. It angered Hilda that her son turned her down because of that woman.

“Your son seems forgotten who we are!” Hilda blurted out at Fred. “We are his parents! His own blood!”

Scrutinizing at Hilda, he shook his head and then ignored his wife, who was pacing back and forth in front of him.

But Hilda continues mumbling, and it irritates him. “Why don’t you take a seat?” Fred suggested to his wife, gesturing the empty sofa across him.

Hilda dropped her body on the cushion. But she resumes ranting out. She recalled how daring the dress Hailey wore. ‘Why do young women these days not wear any brassiere!? Tch!’

“That woman is a vixen! She bewitches our son to go against us!”

“Enough, Hilda. Stop saying nonsense things!” Fred blurted out. He felt ridiculous listening to his wife.

Hilda is used to getting what she wants, and one of that is to make their son obediently follow whatever she says. But it is too much already.

“Fred Shen! Why do I have a feeling you are gradually washing off your hands and now in favor of your son’s affair?”

“My goodness, Hilda! Are we going to argue this all over again? We came here to breathe some air! If I were the one to decide? I’m not interested in coming to your friend’s renewal vows.”

Hilda pursed her mouth with disappointment. She already knew that her husband has no interest in this kind of stuff.

However, she’s still hoping that Fred shows a little care for her feelings. “You are so not romantic! You don’t even think for us to celebrate a grand wedding anniversary!”

Fred’s face frowned. He rolled his eyes and heaved a long sigh. “Come on, Hilda. We are not celebrating our Golden wedding anniversary yet.”

“So, what? We should not make our wedding anniversary grand unless it’s our Golden wedding anniversary?”

“Why are you throwing a fret now over our wedding anniversary? Why don’t you realize our son has no heir yet? Can’t you see that he still seemed like a single man without a love life in his thirties after getting married to Eva Lan because his wife chooses not to come back to P Country to live together? Can’t you look at the bigger picture here, Hilda? Your son is turning 32 years old! He is supposed to live happily with a wife and children years ago!”

“And what are you implying now, huh, Fred?”

“You wanted to know my point?” Fred glares at his wife. Hilda nodded and waited for him to continue. “Your son is living like a robot each day, doing the same routine every single day to run our company in these passing years. Why do you question our son every time there is gossip about him and his girlfriend? Can’t you think over for once why Eva Lan cannot act as an actual wife to our son?”

Hilda remains to stare at Fred. Her husband is right. Why didn’t she realize it sooner?

Eva is hesitant to live with their son for what reason?

What is wrong with Vincent? He could produce children!

She knew that because Vince was once involved in a massive accident five years ago. Vince cannot walk for several months.

And the media spreading lies that the accident made him impotent. To prove the false news, she encouraged Vince to undergo a sperm cell count. And the medical result confirms the gossips were wrong; Vince is healthy.

After that, she works on her son’s marriage by arranging him with her friend’s daughters. But Vince is not interested in dating because he already married his career! He engaged himself day and night in designing.

And one reason she arranged his marriage and hurried the wedding so that Eva to conceive children.

However, the marriage could not be normal when both are not seeing each other!

Do they even sleep together after the wedding? Then how will Vincent impregnate his wife if they didn’t?

She should ask her son about it!

But how if Eva cannot bear any children? That is why Vince is not interested in Eva, but he is living with a mistress instead?

“Fred, are you telling me I will allow our son to have a bastard child? Would you let this happen to our family? Would you condone this? Because I would not! It will be a huge scandal in our family, Fred!”

Fred is getting more upset listening to his wife. Although Hilda is correct, however, there’s nothing that happens in their son’s married life.

“Hilda, I won’t tolerate our son’s affair. But to believe that his girlfriend is persuading him to go against us seems not right that we accuse that girl.”

“And why can you say that?” Hilda is glaring suspiciously at Fred. Her husband seems to treat Vince’s girlfriend nicely now. His opinion seemed to side with their son’s affair! What she better do now? “I need to do something, Fred.” 

Fred is looking at Hilda with warning stares. However, he could not share his thoughts with her because he is familiar with his wife’s attitude. 

Fred was contemplating. As time passed, he could see some changes in his son’s life. One of that, Vince looks happy now. 

“Hilda, I’m warning you. Be careful whatever is running inside your head. If you haven’t noticed yet, our son is too old to decide in his life. You need to give up and let him.”

“What do you mean, Fred? I am a mother! I have to make sure that Vince is leading the right path! And what are you? You are his father! You should talk to him to stop his foolishness!”

“I didn’t question you being a mother, Hilda. Your son is a giant 31 years old! He is not like two years old anymore for you to help him walk!”

“And what do you want me to do? To keep my silence and tolerate your son’s craziness?”

“That’s not my point! But it would not help if you won’t talk to our son calmly! Choose the questions you want to throw at him! Great timing, our son is visiting us tomorrow. Instead of confronting him harshly? Why don’t you ask why he has a mistress instead of fixing his marriage?”

Upon listening to her husband, Hilda ponders. Fred has a point. She should not bark at Vince the moment she saw him entering their mansion. That always happens if she discovers Vince is in trouble, fighting with someone in the school, or while he hangs out with his friends and encounters some bullies.

It was the reason she was stricter with him in college because everyone knew their family in Metro City and the entire country because of her bloodline’s political history.

And everyone wanted Vince to run for office as a mayor of Metro City and then run for Senatorial until Presidential candidacy.

And to have a positive image, Vince must avoid any nefarious activities such as having mistresses! But what is happening now?

Moreover, Vince has no interest in politics. And instead of Political Science and Law, Vince studied BA and Architecture to help his father.

Well, it doesn’t matter because Vince could still help regarding the infrastructure of the country.

However, he has a scandal one after another because of that woman! How could she clean up their family name?

“How are we going to counter the accusations against our son?” Hilda asked Fred’s opinion afterward.

“I know your son is taking care of it.”

“Because he cares more of his Mistress,” Hilda expressed out nonchalantly.

“Do we have to discuss it again, Hilda? Wait until tomorrow! I just wanted to attend your friend’s renewal vows and go home after.”

Hilda didn’t argue anymore. She knew Fred meant it. If she didn’t stop now, the argument would become about them.

“I will take a nap. Woke me up when you are done preparing for the wedding,” said Fred to his wife. He sat up from the couch and headed to the bedroom of that suite.

Left behind, Hilda nodded and didn’t say another word.

Meanwhile, at Shen Group Headquarter. It’s been an hour since Vince starts the meeting.

In the middle of the Finance Department reports, Tim’s phone doesn’t stop ringing.

“Boss, I need to answer this call,” he excused.

Vince nodded and gestured his hand for Tim to get out of the Meeting Room. After a few minutes, Tim came back and approached him.

He whispered, “Boss, the press is contacting me if they could interview you.”

“We are in the middle of the meeting, Tim.” Vince reminded his assistant.

“But boss, every media wanted to confirm if you are the one who deleted the M Entertainment website.”

“What? Why would I do that?” said Vince, creasing his forehead as one brow rose upward.

“Because that website just released the gossip about you this morning.”

“And they accuse me?”

Tim nodded as a confirmation of a new gossip.

“What the heck!?” Vince blurts out.

“Ahem! President Shen? Is any problem, boss?”

Everyone is looking in his direction. He waved his hand and said, “No, nothing. Go on. You can finish your report.”

After one and a half hours, the meeting ended. Vince requests the PR Department to stay for another discussion.

“So, what happens with the M Entertainment website?” As to begin, Vince asked the Head of the PR Department.

“It’s true, boss, the website disappeared, and they could not recover their server.”

“I ordered nothing. So, who did it?” He pondered; his parents can’t do this without his knowledge. So, they would not take care of it themselves.

“Maybe someone else who wants to take revenge on them, boss,” Tim’s viewpoint.

“Maybe, yes…” Vince concurred. However, on the one hand, he still has to do something. “But I must prove I did nothing.”

“In my opinion, President Shen. Let them assume.” Advised by Vince’s lawyer.

“I seconded, boss. In this way, everyone would think that they should not mess up with you!” The PR Head Department concurred.

“Hm… Then, we won’t release any statement,” Vince conceded the matter.

“That what we should do, President Shen.”

“And if whoever it is, that person is such an angel, boss!” Tim cheered. 

Vince glances at his employees one after another. Nodding, he concurred to this.

“Yeah. Maybe it’s a miracle.”
