Ch. 2421..2430

Chapter 2421 Tears streamed down Vincent's cheeks. He helped Helena stand up straight. "Helena, we both are actually from the mountains, so we have no great concept of the ethics and morality between humans. Did you realize that after we've come to college, our classmates were looking at us in a peculiar way? We are siblings, we can't get married."

Helena was stunned. Immediately after that, tears started gushing down her cheeks like the pouring rain, "what are you talking about, Vincent? We are indeed from the mountains! However, I am not illiterate, and neither are you! We don't share the same parents. We're not related by blood at all! We're not even legally related! I called you my brother, but you are not my brother! You are my lover! My lover! We are not siblings! We're lovers! Are you out of your mind, Vincent?"

She called out to Vincent by his name while reminding him that he was not truly her brother.

However, Vincent pushed Helena away. "I am not your lover. I am your brother, your elder brother! Don't bother me anymore in the future. I already have someone I love! I hope that you'll watch how you behave!"

After saying that, Vincent turned around and left. Helena was left frozen in place behind him. Seeing that Vincent was going further away, she could not help but catch up to him and grab him. " Vincent, tell me, have I done something wrong? Tell me. Tell me and I'll make amends, alright?"

Seeing his sister who was covered in tears, Vincent felt a pain as if his heart was sliced by a knife. He wanted to comfort her very badly. He wanted to tell her to find a good boyfriend and settle down in the big city after graduating college. However, once he thought of the fact that Helena may become decadent if she had lost him, he made up his mind and said to her, "Yes! You're just wrong! You told me that nothing had happened to you, but how would I know if that's really what happened? I'm just very disguised with you now! I have long started to be disgusted with you. The others don't know how you got into college, but would I not know it? You've always relied on me tutoring you! without me, you wouldn't have gotten into college at all!

"I originally thought that seeing that I've helped you so much, you should be grateful to me and marry me after you get into college, but what happened? Now that you've become more capable, you actually went and fool around with so many men! Even if the Yates family were to die of poverty and starvation, we will never want a woman like you! I am certain that once you leave my side, you will fool around with those men, and you certainly won't even be willing to go to college anymore! You're a vain woman! Who wouldn't be vain? You allow yourself to be vain and find a rich partner, but you're not allowing me to do the same? I can find one in a jiffy! I have already decided to date Belinda Kelley! You, get as far away from me as you can!"

After saying that, Vincent left without looking back. He could not look back. Once he looked back, he would be in floods of tears. He did not know what kind of expression was on Helena's face behind him. He only knew that she did not call out to him. She did not even utter a sound. Also, that afternoon, Helena went to class as usual. From then on, as if Helena had thrown herself into books, she spent all day every day studying.

When Vincent saw that, he felt heartbroken but he also smiled in relief. That was because he knew that his sister was making progress. She did not debase herself after suffering such a huge blow. That was the best ending for her.

A week later, Vincent stood in front of Helena, she walked past him as if she had not seen him. Vincent then blocked her path.

Helena's tone was very calm. "Please make way. I want to go to the library."

"Helena, I had a wedding with Belinda at the Grand Ocean Hotel tomorrow night," Vincent said calmly.

Helena was stunned, "what? what did you say?"

Chapter 2422 Vincent looked at Helena with a gentle expression and said helplessly, "Helena, I am getting married to Belinda tomorrow."

The books in Helena's hands slipped and fell all over the floor, she originally no longer wanted to care about Vincent anymore.

After all, they were all grown up and she was already a college student. It was very painful, but she knew that there was still a long way ahead of her. she could not just be debased, she must be strong and pull herself together, she was thinking that no matter how painful and how bitter, there would always be sunshine after the rain. Therefore, she did not intend to care about Vincent anymore.

However, at that moment when he heard Vincent saying that, Helena immediately held his hand and asked eagerly, "Vincent, why are you doing this? That woman is bad news, she is five years older than US, but she is still in the same class as US. This shows that something is not right. What has been doing for the past five years? Has she repeated the course for five years? How is that possible? Vicent, if you were to marry her, you'll be deceived by her! Vincent! Also, does Wymond know? You're going to get married so soon, so Wymond should still have no clue about it, right? Also, what about college? What are you going to do?"

Vincent shook his head. "Her family can take care of it. The worst case scenario would be me taking a year off. It's no big deal. It's fine as long as we don't go public in college. I just wanted to notify you. Helena, I need your blessing."

He knew that the journey ahead must be tough. His wanting to have Helena's blessing was false, what he truly wanted was to let Helena completely give up on him.

"As for Wymond, I will tell him when I take Belinda back home during the New Year. Don't tell him that I am getting married."

Vincent looked at Helena miserably.

Helena was so angry her eyes were bloodshot. "Vincent, do you want to get in with the rich and powerful so badly?"

"Of course!" Vincent sneered. "I've had enough of the past!"

"Then let's cut off our relationship!" Helena said.

After saying that, she carried her books and ran away, she was unable to absorb anything she read as she sat in the library, she cried inconsolably.

The following day, she was down with a high fever. Of course, she was unable to attend her brother and Belinda's wedding, she was having such a high fever that she laid in her dormitory in a daze and did not even eat anything.

After an unknown time had passed, a girl walked over and put a warm towel on her forehead, she then sat next to Helena. "It was because of you that your brother is marrying Belinda."

Helena lifted her head and saw the girl who shared a dormitory with her. She immediately asked that girl, "what did you say?"

The girl sighed. "You have been heading out early and returning late every day hanging out with Belinda. You have no idea how anxious your brother was. He always waited for you for a long time downstairs at our dormitory building. If you didn't show up, he would then go pick you up outside of our college. When you had been restrained by Belinda, she made a deal with your brother.

If he was willing to marry her, she would let you go. otherwise, she would let that group of men wreck you. Hence, Helena, you really have a very good brother."

Helena was speechless.

She struggled to stand up, but she was so weak that she was unsteady on her feet.

"What do you want to do, Helena?" asked her classmate.

"I wanted to go find my brother. I don't want him to sacrifice himself for me." Helena stumbled as she ran out.

That was the first time she was willing to take a cab. The cab that she took rushed to the Grand Ocean Hotel, but the wedding had ended a long time ago. How could anybody still possibly be there?

Helena cried and collapsed on the street. It was a kind-hearted person who had sent her to the hospital.

When she was put on a drip at the hospital, in her half-conscious state, she was still shouting. "Vincent, Vincent..."

Unfortunately, Vincent was not able to hear that.

Chapter 2423 That late night, both Vincent and Belinda were sitting in the room together. Vincent saw that Belinda had changed into a thin and revealing nightgown as she walked out, but he did not look at her at all.

"It's impossible for me to share a bed with you! I think the purpose of you wanting to get married to me is not to share a bed with me as well, right? since you have already achieved your purpose, please let me go!" Vincent rejected Belinda coldly.

Belinda also did not get angry. Instead, she had a very good temper at that moment. "Vincent, I actually really like you."

Vincent coldly snorted. "Hmph!"

"What I said is true," Belinda said.

Vincent desperately wanted to have Belinda. "Please have a little self-respect! since you have already achieved your purpose, let's not bother each other anymore!" 2 "Vincent." Belinda suddenly knelt before him.

Vincent was startled. "You...what are you doing?"

Tears gush down Belinda's cheeks like the pouring rain. "Vincent, I really love you. Spend your life with me, alright? I promise I won't mistreat you. I will be good to you. I have nothing in this life. I only have you. That's all I have."

When Vincent saw the way Belinda looked, he was so angry that he did not even know what to do with his hands. "You...you really are good at acting!"

"I am being honest, Vincent. I really have nobody else anymore in this life. I only have you. If you were to abandon me, I basically would be at a dead end. There's a possibility that I will just die in the streets tomorrow. I am not lying, Vincent."

She was covered in tears and she just looked pitiful.

Vincent was a man, after all. He held back his angry and disgusted look and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Belinda smiled miserably. "Vincent, do you think I am a glamorous lady from an eminent family?"

"Is that not the case?"

Belinda shook her head. She did not answer Vincent's question, but she went on while crying, "Earlier on when I had abducted your sister, I told you that she was involved with an old man and was found out by his wife, so his wife wanted to ruin her. What I told you was, in fact, not about your sister. It was me. I was talking about myself."

Vincent was stunned when he heard that. He looked at Belinda in disbelief. "It was you? Aren't you a lady from the Kelley family?

How could you be involved with a seven-year-old man? since you have already hooked up with him, you still got married to me?

You ...how could you be so vicious and so dirty!"

Vincent could not help but take a few steps back. He only knew that Belinda was an arrogant girl from an eminent family, but he had no idea she was actually toyed with by a seventy-year-old elderly man. she even admitted it herself. Vincent had actually taken such a woman as his wife. Thinking of that, Vincent turned around and wanted to leave.

"Vincent! Can you just think of it as you saving me?" Belinda suddenly hugged his leg.

"What exactly do you want? I don't want to know about your dirty matters! You asked me to get married to you, and I have already done that, what more do you want?" Vincent asked.

"Vincent, you can't leave this room. If you leave this room, and they found out that we had never shared a bed, then I would lose my life. If I was dead, my mother and the child in my belly would also die." Belinda raised her head and looked at Vincent with a pleading expression.

At that moment, she did not look like a lady from an eminent family at all. She could not even be compared to a beggar. Her expression was humbled beyond measure, but Vincent felt as if his mind had been blown. He sneered a few times before he collected himself and asked, "What did you say? Y-You are already pregnant! There's another man's child in your belly?"

Chapter 2424 "That's right." Belinda looked at Vincent calmly.

"You're a witch! You already have a child in your belly, so why didn't you marry the child's father? why did you still ask me to be married to you?" At that moment, Vincent desperately wanted to stab the woman in front of him to death.

Belinda was not at all surprised by Vincent's anger and shock. She still said calmly, "I can't get married to that man because he has a wife and has children. Also, he is already more than seventy years old. Be it his family or his son, if any one of them were to take action, they would be able to have me killed. They have more than a few dozen eyes on me now. Once they found out that I am pregnant, they would turn me into ashes. I can't let them know that I am pregnant, otherwise, I may lose my life."

"Terminate your pregnancy then!" Vincent said rudely.

"I wanted to! I am not such a great woman. If the child arrives at a bad time, I will not want to keep the child in my belly. Besides, the child's father is an elderly man who is more than seventy years old! However, I can't terminate this pregnancy anymore. Ever since I turned seventeen, this is already the fifth time I got pregnant. The doctor had already told me a long time ago that if I were to terminate another pregnancy, I would never be a mother anymore. Not only that, but I may even have to remove my uterus.

That way, I will age very quickly, and I will die from being haggard. I can't die so soon. I am only in my twenties."

"So you chose me to get married to you? This way, you can cover up the matter. You can then tell others that the child you're carrying in your belly is actually mine?' Vincent finally understood Belinda's purpose in getting married to him.

"Yes." A terrified expression appeared on Belinda's face. "That's not enough. Those people are still keeping a close eye on me. If they found out that my marriage with you is fake, they will also think that I was just buying myself time to think of another plan.

They will then beat me to death."

Vincent looked at Belinda with great confusion. "Your father is a very rich man in this city, to begin with. You are also a lady from a wealthy family. Why would you be involved with a married man, and an old man in his seventies, no less? Could it be that you have a special fetish and you only like old men?"

Belinda smiled miserably, "which woman in this world would like to be in a relationship with a man who is fifty years older than her? With his age, he could have been my grandfather!"

Vincent sneered and he did not say anything, what he meant was that she was the one who was involved with such a person.

"Vincent, do you still remember that I had told you a few days ago that my mother was one of my father's many wives? I even told you that I actually don't have much of a place in the family?" Belinda asked.

Vincent still did not say anything. He indeed remembered that Belinda had told him about it a few days ago. However, what has it got to do with him?

He did not say anything, so Belinda continued. "My mother married my father after she had been dominated by him. My mother had no place in the Kelley family at all. When I was born, my father already had almost thirty children. His eldest child was older than my mother. Ever since I was born, my father did not even look at me more than a few times. My mother's position and my position can't even be compared to a maid who had a say in front of my father in the Kelley family. However, I had to act like a lady from the Kelley family since childhood.

"My mother has no money, she had to endure being scolded or beaten up just to ask my father for some money. That was nothing. What made my mother and I feel most terrified was that when I was only six years old, my siblings saw me and they desperately wanted to throw me into the sewers and let me drown. They often say unashamedly to me, 'why aren't you dead yet, you damned thing? You and your mother are two bitches who are here to fight us for the family fortune! We will have you killed soon or later!

Otherwise, both of you should fuck off now! My mother did not want to accept defeat. She always hugged me while crying and said that I should get a share of the family fortune."

Chapter 2425 "My mother had always exhausted every way to get me all dolled up before taking me to meet my father, she was hoping that my father would like me a little more and give me a little bit more living expenses. However, Vincent, you won't even be able to imagine how my father had treated me."

Vincent felt horrified as he listened to her. He had heard that beasts existed in this world, but he had never really seen one. He mumbled, "It can't be that your dad had...you, right?"

"It's not like that." Belinda smiled miserably. "He just told my mom, 'Let her have more milk every day and let her complexion be fairer. When she is all grown up and pretty, she will be useful to me. Just like you, her complexion is fair. Her eyes are also like yours. She has a slightly coquettish appearance. You know that the old man, Walter, simply likes this type of girl. Nowadays, I already have nothing much to give him as a gift. If I want to get projects from him, I will have to cater to his taste. He is not lacking in gold, silver, and properties. He is not lacking in anything at all. He also has countless women by his side, what he is really lacking is a proper young lady from an eminent family. A young lady who is pure and chaste. We will then send one to him.

This way, the Kelley family will have a bright future for the next ten years."' Hearing Belinda saying that, Vincent still looked at her in shock. " Your father gave you away to an old man?"

"It was when I had just entered my senior year in high school. I was only seventeen." Speaking of that, Belinda cried.

Vincent was speechless.

At that moment, he was extremely sympathetic toward Belinda. He was poor. He had never been envious of the lives the wealthy families had lived, but he also never knew that there were actually these kinds of nasty things within a wealthy family. A father had actually thrown his own daughter under the bus.

"However," Belinda smiled again. " that old man treated me very well. He bought me many beautiful clothes, gave me money, and he even bought a property for me. He let me live like a true lady in front of many other ladies from wealthy families. My brothers and sisters also did not dare to bully anymore.

"However, the old man often pinched me until I was covered in bruises all over my body. He was not that great in that aspect, but maybe I was born with a body that is easily impregnated. I was pregnant a few times within those few years. The old man didn't mind if I delivered the child, but his sons, grandsons, and his wife didn't allow it. They would try everything to make me terminate the pregnancy. Because of that, several years of my academic career were wasted. I was able to attend college this time because the old man had gone through some unofficial channels and pulled some strings. It was only then that I was able to get in. I am already four months pregnant this time. If I still don't think of a way, my child will not be able to stay hidden anymore. I can't terminate this pregnancy anymore. I must find someone to marry me as soon as possible. Only then can I keep my life and also the child in the belly. In the future, when my child is all grown up, and once the old man dies, both my child and I will be able to fight for a substantial share of his family fortune."

"Therefore, you found me to be your husband? You have already targeted me for a long time, and you made up your mind that it had to be me. Therefore, you set up a trap for my sister and you cruelly separated US?" At that moment, Vincent wanted to choke Belinda to death.

Even though he had a tinge of sympathy for her earlier on, he felt disgusted at the sight of this woman. He was extremely disgusted.

"Help me out. Just one year. One year later, my child would have been born, and we'll get a divorce. Alright?" Belinda knelt in front of Vincent and begged him in tears.

Chapter 2426 "Of course, it's not alright!" At that moment, Vincent was incredibly furious. He was so furious that he had forgotten that he had actually married Belinda. The wedding had just ended. It was just that after he heard about all these absurd things related to Belinda, he did feel sympathetic, but he also was not willing to be taken advantage of.

Belinda, however, sneered. "You are already married to me."

Vincent was speechless.

"Also, I have kept a record of where your hometown is, what your brother does, and all the indecent photos of your sister that T had someone take for me! When the time comes, I'll print ten thousand copies of these indecent photos and scatter them on every cover of the campus. Let's see how your sister is going to live!"

"You!"

"You have had your eyes on me since a long time ago?"

Belinda nodded. "Yes."

Without waiting for Vincent to say something else, she said, "You have no parents, and you only have a brother in your family.

You don't have much trouble, and your family has a clean record. Not only that, but your grades are outstanding, you don't have any bad habits, and you are very good-looking. In every aspect, you are the best candidate for me. Therefore, I am hell-bent on choosing you."

Vincent was speechless.

At that moment, he was tightly clenching his fists. He was tempted to have this woman killed in one single punch. However, he still could not do so yet. This woman still had dirt on Helena in her hands.

"I will be good to you. Don't worry. I will let you know that I am actually a good woman. I am also a victim." Belinda looked up at Vincent with teary eyes.

Vincent remained silent for a very long time.

It was after ten minutes or so that he said, "I can put up an act together with you. Even if I were to share a bed with you, I also won't touch you. This is until you have delivered your child and have thoroughly gotten rid of those people. By then, give the dirt you have on my sister to me. We will then be even."

"Alright. Alright. I can do that. Thank you. However, we have to act a little more realistically tonight," Belinda said while nodding non stop.

"Mm-hmm."

Both of them did share a bed that night, but they really did not do anything. Even if Vincent wanted to do something, he sincerely could not do it because of Belinda's body. She was four months pregnant, to begin with, which was at the moment when a pregnant woman was at her weakest. On top of that, as she had already terminated a few pregnancies before this, her body absolutely could not stand being messed around at all. Therefore, that night, both of them slept peacefully until daybreak.

The following morning, Vincent went to college as usual. There was an extremely small number of people on campus who knew that he and Belinda had had a wedding. However, due to Belinda's power, the news did not spread. Therefore, Vincent was still able to go to class.

He saw Helena in college and she had gotten much thinner overnight.

Helena called out to him. "Vincent..."

Vincent ignored her. He and Belinda had indeed agreed to get a divorce after she gave birth to her child. However, with Belinda's nature, he was unsure if he was still able to break away from her. If he was unable to break away from her, then he did not wish to get Helena involved anymore. He only hoped that Helena could forget him, have a bright future, and live her happy life from then on. He had to be determined to ignore her for her own good. He knew that Helena must be crying her eyes out behind him.

Helena's voice got even hoarser. "Vincent, I know that you did it all for me! It's all for my sake, right? I will wait for you. I will wait.

Vincent..."

Suddenly, Helena received a solid slap on her face.

"Damned woman! Remember this, your brother is already my husband! If you dare to think about him again, you will be the mistress. A mistress through and through! By then, I will let everyone on campus and in this city know that you are a mistress!"

Belinda looked at Helena incredibly viciously.

"You...you shameless person! Devil! You've harmed me and my brother!" Helena said.

Chapter 2427 Vincent, who had taken a few steps away, knew that Belinda was bullying Helena, but he did not look back. He had to be firm. He had to! His heart, however, was bleeding and crying.

After he had taken a pause, he still did not look back, but he called out his wife's name, "Belinda, you're pregnant now. You can't just simply get angry. Let's go."

"Alright, dear," Belinda immediately answered sweetly.

Upon answering, she jogged toward Vincent and hugged his arm. After that, she looked back and smiled at Helena.

At that moment, Helena's heart was bleeding. She was a strong girl. She knew that she was still able to survive even if she no longer had Vincent with her. She had a good educational background, was cultured, and was willing to work hard, she would certainly do very well in the future. Helena then walked away without looking back.

However, tears just would not stop streaming down Vincent's cheeks.

"Don't cry anymore, dear." Belinda felt sorry and wiped his tears for him.

She treated Vincent really well. Not only did she buy clothes for him, but she also went along with whatever he said for everything. Also, she had never requested him to share the same room with her. She even notified Vincent's brother, Wymond, who was back in their hometown. She bought all sorts of gifts for Wymond and his girlfriend as well. In the end, she even paid to build a house for Wymond in their hometown.

Gradually, Vincent no longer hated Belinda that much anymore. However, he still disagreed to consummate their marriage.

Belinda did not force him as well. In front of him, she has always behaved as an understanding person.

Unknowingly, another two months have passed.

As Belinda was no longer able to hide her baby bump anymore, she took a break from college. Both Vincent and Helena entered their junior year in college.

During that period, Helena did not speak to Vincent anymore. She had always been very motivated, and she got herself a boyfriend. She and her boyfriend have often gone to the library together, studied together, and attended classes together. They were not exactly inseparable but were quite loving.

Vincent, who had always been hiding and watching his sister from afar, had an indescribable feeling. There was joy, but there was also sadness. He did not want this kind of misery to expand in his heart, so he gradually put his focus on Belinda. To be exact, he was focused on the child in her belly.

Belinda was wrong. Everyone was wrong. However, the child in her belly was the most innocent child in the world. The child was not his, but Vincent was compassionate to the child. He would often press his head against Belinda's belly and speak softly, "Baby, are you a boy or a girl? If you are a girl, I will read fairy tales to you every day, alright? If you are a boy, I will take you to play basketball every day, alright?

He did not say such words to make someone feel moved or to please Belinda. He simply wanted to let himself have something to think about.

In the end, when Belinda was getting closer to her due date, Vince had even thought it through. As long as Belinda would turn over a new leaf and stop doing bad things, he may just stay with her and live a good life together. This was only under the premise that Helena could destroy all of his sister's indecent photos.

However, that was not the time to talk about all that. At that moment, the most important thing was to let Belinda deliver the child sadly. No matter how forced their marriage was, he was still her husband at that moment. Therefore, he had to take care of her as she delivered her child, and not let her health get any worse.

A few months later, Belinda gave birth to a healthy boy. Seeing the baby that was covered in wrinkles, Vincent felt a mixed feeling. To be honest, he did not have the joy of becoming a father, but he also knew that the child was very innocent.

He was the first person to hold the child. He held the child in his arms sincerely and said softly, "From now on, I am your father."

Just when Vincent wanted to tell Belinda about his idea of wanting to properly spend the rest of his life together with her and the child, a big incident happened around Belinda. The biological father of the child had died.

Chapter 2428 "He's dead?" Belinda was completely stunned when heard the news for the first time.

Immediately after that, she mumbled, "Then who will be giving US money to spend in the future? What should we do?

What should we do if we don't have money? My family is not going to give me any money. Not only will they not give me money, but they will even bully me. What should I do? If I had known this would happen, I never would have given birth to this child. I can't even support myself. What should I do?" Belinda sobbed.

At that moment, the kind of arrogance of a lady from an eminent family the woman once had completely disappeared.

What has been replaced was a pitiful woman who was cowering and not knowing what to do in the future.

"My family will bully. The old man's family will also not let me off the hook. What should I do?" The woman was trembling. She was not even able to take care of her child anymore. The child kept on crying in the crib, but she did not care at all.

After Vincent came back from classes and saw the woman like that, he thought something major had happened. When he learned that the old man had died, he unexpectedly felt relieved. "It's alright that he is dead. He will only be harming people if he is alive anyway. He is already so old. He deserved to die! It's perfect now that he is dead. You and his family no longer have anything to do with each other anymore in the future!"

"What about me then? I don't have money anymore in the future!" Belinda howled hysterically.

"So what if you don't have money? It's not like we can't get any food on the table. I will be graduating in one year. With my grades at the moment, I am very confident that I will be able to stay back and be a teaching assistant after I graduated. It's not a problem for me to raise a family of three. Besides, after the child turns one, you can also find a job or something. We can live a good life by relying on our own hard work and not anybody else!" Vincent looked at Belinda angrily. 1 He had always hated the woman very much. Even if she was a victim. However, Vincent really did not hate the child.

Even though the child was not his, he did not hate him at all. The child was extremely innocent. His father died as soon as he was born. Even if his father was not dead, his father also would probably never be bothered about him at all.

Vincent has decided that he was going to be the child's father from then on. He must love and protect the child properly.

Vincent carried the child in one hand and prepared infant formula for him with the other hand. He then fed the child once he had finished preparing it. The child, who was still bawling earlier on, immediately stopped crying. After he gulped and finished a bottle of formula, the boy was so tired that he actually fell asleep. Vincent felt so sorry for him. He felt both sorry and warm.

"Gosh, you little thing. Look at how delicate you are. A short cry and a sip of milk were enough to make you so tired that you fell asleep. Sleep tight. You'll grow a little taller when you wake up."

Vincent put the child back in the crib, and then looked at Belinda seriously. "Listen to me carefully. You are now still lactating, but you don't breastfeed the child, since the child is on infant formula and we don't have any source of income now anymore, you will have to work! Even if you have to work as a dishwasher, you still have to work! otherwise, the child will have no infant formula to drink! Also, after I finish my classes at night, I will also find a job. I will take on two more jobs working as a tutor on the weekends.

This way, it will be enough to support US. It's not hard."

To Vincent, it really was not hard. He had a tough childhood and he was born to be able to endure hardships. Also, he was able to find joy in the miseries.

However, Belinda was not able to do it. she thought it was too embarrassing to go and wash dishes, she did not find it embarrassing to be kept by an old man who was almost 80 years old, but she found it embarrassing to be working as a dishwasher.

She asked Vincent haltingly, "Why don't we give the child away?

"Bullshit!" Vincent raised his hand and slapped Belinda.

Belinda looked at Vincent in disbelief. "You slapped me? How dare you slap me? This child is mine! Not yours! How dare you slap me?"

Vincent looked at Belinda with incomparable fury. "If it weren't for this child, you would have not been a woman a long time ago! why didn't you say such a thing when you didn't have a choice to terminate your pregnancy back then?

You're the one who gave birth to the child but you don't want to raise it. You carry the title of being a lady who grew up in an eminent family but you're so ill- bred! How dare you abandon this child?"

Chapter 2429 "If you dare to abandon this child, I will kill you!"

Vincent lost his parents during his childhood and had grown up with his brother. Helena was a child who was picked up as well.

All of them have had it rough since childhood. Therefore, what Vincent hated the most in his life was the people who abandon their children.

Belinda was shocked by Vincent's action. She nodded and said with a grievance, "I don't want to abandon my child as well, but I don't have to raise him."

"Do you know how to eat and sleep?" Vincent asked angrily.

Belinda was speechless.

"If you, who have functioning limbs, don't want to work, and you're just going to wait to be fed until the day you die, then what's the point of you being alive? Listen to me carefully. Go out there and find a job. Be it cleaning trash or washing dishes, it'll be fine as long as it's a job! If you don't go and find yourself a job, then just go to hell!" In any case, the old man has already died and her family has also abandoned her. Therefore, Vincent just wanted to force her a little to make her self-reliant.

Belinda said with a humiliated expression, "I got it. I will go find a job even if I have to wash dishes."

Only then did Vincent feel relieved.

In order to prevent Belinda from giving the child away or abandoning him, Vincent had no choice but to look for Helena.

At that time, Helena was already as lively and cute as before. It was as if she had never experienced all that pain in the past, she still had outstanding grades, and she was even more beautiful and energetic than before.

She no longer blamed Vincent as she did half a year ago. When she saw Vincent, she greeted him very generously, "Vincent?

Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Vincent told Helena about the situation.

Helena felt so heartbroken that she cried. "Vincent, how could someone be so cruel and not even want her own child? It's fine.

Bring the child over. The girls in my dormitory can take turns taking care of the child. You can also take turns to take care of the child. Don't let that woman really give the child away or sell him off."

"Mm-hmm." Vincent nodded.

After he had settled the matter relating to the child, he got even busier. He had to work hard in class during the day, and he had to work at a store at night. He also had to work as a tutor during the weekends.

However, after working like that for a month, not only was he able to buy infant formula for the child, he actually had some money leftover. He then saved everything.

Even though the son was not his, even though he was not fond of his wife and has never shared a bed with her, Vincent felt that life has a purpose whenever he saw the child.

This was particularly when the child unexpectedly gained almost three kilograms in just a month. The speed of his growth really made people feel happy. Even Helena liked the child very much.

Helena did not dare to speak of giving away the child anymore. She obediently went to find a job and made a meager earning.

This kind of life made Vincent feel extremely happy.

However, this kind of happiness was unable to last. Something happened to him and Belinda again, and that kind of matter thoroughly broke the balance among him, Belinda, and the child.

One Monday night, when Vincent was preparing to go work the night shift after class, a man, who was in a suit and carrying a briefcase, came to the house that Vincent and Belinda were renting.

"May I know if you are Miss Belinda Kelly?" the man asked Belinda.

"I am. May I know who you are?" Belinda subconsciously thought that the man was here to collect a debt, she did have a little bit of debt, but Vincent did not know that. If Vincent had known about it, he would have beaten her up.

The man smiled and said, "Your child has an inheritance to inherit. Given that he is too young, you have to sign the papers before he can get the sum of money he is to inherit."

Belinda was stunned and then she asked, "What? You're saying that the damned old thing left an inheritance for my child?" The man nodded. "Yes, ten million dollars."

Chapter 2430 "If we were to compare the value of ten million dollars from thirty years ago to the value of the present day, it should be estimated to be more than one hundred million dollars," Vincent told his daughter, Yvonne, about his past that happened 30 years ago in his old voice.

That was a story in the past that had been sealed. Neither Vincent nor Helena was willing to mention it.

More than 30 years have passed, but there were still people who would maliciously dig out this past. Since it had been dug out, both Vincent and Helena had nothing to hide anymore.

"Dad, is it because of that woman, your ex-wife, Belinda, has gotten ten million dollars and you feel she should already be able to live comfortably, so you divorced her?" asked Yvonne.

Vincent shook his head. "No."

Yvonne was curious. "Then why?"

At that moment, her uncle, Wymond, interjected, "Yvonne, hear your father out."

Yvonne nodded and continued looking at her father.

Vincent started to recall the past again.

More than 30 years ago, when Belinda heard the father of the child, that 80-year-old man, left her and her child ten million dollars, she was crazily happy. After she was done feeling happy, the first thing she did was give Vincent a backhand slap.

Vincent was shocked. "W-Why did you slap me?"

Belinda sneered. "You're a terrible bully! You're incompetent, so you kept forcing your wife to go out and work tough jobs! I am truly extremely unlucky to have married a man like you! It's all good now. I am rich now. I can finally hold my head up high! I finally have assets that belong to me now!"

Seeing Belinda so smug, Vincent sneered. "You're a real psycho."

After saying that, he turned around and left. When he got to the door, he turned his head back and said to Belinda, "since you feel being married is unlucky, then let's get divorced now! Please return the indecent photos of my sister to me! From now on, we are square. You don't need a husband in name only anymore anyway."

"Dream on!" Belinda turned her head around and looked at Vincent while sneering.

She came to Vincent and grabbed his collar. "You have never loved me, Vincent! Do you know how great of a humiliation is that to me? You want a divorce? You want to marry Helena? I just deliberately won't do as you wish! I will not divorce you! Everyone in this city knows that the child I delivered is yours. The matter is covered up at college right now. If you want to finish your studies without a hitch, and if you dare to divorce me, I would spread the word to every corner of the city! I would also expose all of your sister's indecent photos!"

"You!" Vincent was so infuriated by that woman that he no longer had a temper anymore. He tried his best to hold back his fury and asked, "What the hell do you want?"

"What do I want? Pay me back for all the ways you have bullied me during this period! I want you to pay me back double! You broke man! You kept forcing me to wash dishes for others all day long. How wicked could you be! Listen to me! From now on, we will never get divorced! However, don't you even think about taking a single penny of my money from me! You don't love me, don't you? II Vincent said, "You... This money belongs to the child. Since I am the child's father, I have the right to keep it safe on behalf of the child! Also, we are a married couple. Your money is my money!"

In fact, it was because he was exasperated for a moment that he said that. However, he had never thought that those words made Belinda feel like she had dirt on him.

"Finally revealed your true colors now, haven't you? I was just thinking, what kind of a person would not be envious and interested when they see the ten million dollars? You even pretended not to love money, you broke bum! You have long had your eyes set on my ten million dollars, haven't you? Just give up on this idea forever. I won't give you a single penny! You broke bum!"

After she was done scolding Vincent, she actually went out of the door arrogantly.
