A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 317 Charity Auction

“You came alone?” Vincent frowned as he asked Arthur, who did not have a female accompanying him.

“Yeah, I’m not like you, I’m not married yet, so I’ve got no one to bring!” Arthur said with a smirk, “Oh right, where’s your mother? I don’t see her anywhere.”

“She’ll be here soon!” Vincent looked out at the hall and didn’t see anyone. It might take a lot longer.

Suddenly, Vincent caught sight of someone familiar and said to Leila and Arthur, “I gotta do something. You guys wait for me here!”

Leila nodded, “Oh, alright!”

Vincent gave a quick nod to Arthur and left.

For a while, it was just Leila and Arthur left alone in the corner.

Leila lowered her head and felt more uneasy. After Vincent left, Leila said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Arthur.”

“For what?” Arthur asked.

“I shouldn’t have lied to you and gave you my maiden name… Well, actually, I didn’t lie to you. My name is Lexi before…… Can I ask you for a favor?”

“Oh?!” Arthur’s eyes grew wide with playfulness. “And what’s this favor, Leila!?”

Leila’s face was filled with embarrassment, but she mustered up courage and quietly said, “Can you keep the fact I’m learning Taekwondo a secret from Vincent?”

Arthur’s eyes widened, and he said, “Leila, I…”

He deliberately trailed off and stopped there.

Leila looked at him with watery eyes to beg him.

Arthur blinked, “Why should I?”

… Leila said nothing; her eyes were also filled with confusion.

“What’s in it for me?” He asked.

…

“Hahahah…” Arthur suddenly burst into laughter, which drew the attention of those around.

Vincent was speaking with a distinguished guest, then he turned to look at Arthur laughing and Leila’s embarrassed expression. To him, it looked as though the two only met for ten minutes and were already getting along too close for comfort! He felt an uneasiness in his heart, which became a menacing aura around him.

His body turned cold, and his eyes were sharp like daggers, frightening the guest who he was speaking to. “Mr. White?”

“Oh! Please excuse me for a bit!” Vincent returned to his senses, smiled gently, and took his leave.
