Chapter 460 – An Unbreakable Vow with the Heartless Tycoon

But Leilani hid it behind her back.

“Does the person in the pic mean a lot to you?”

“Yes, a lot.”

Leilani put more strength on the fingers holding the phone. She sneered and gave Waylen his phone.

If this person was in his mind, it didn’t matter if she deleted the photo on his phone.

“Give me my phone. You have no right to keep it.”

Leilani said coldly. It was clear that she was upset.

Waylen, instead of getting his phone back, looked at Leilani with interest.

“The woman in my icon is the most important one in my life.”

“That’s none of my business.”

“She’s more precious than my own life.”

“You should tell her that in person. You don’t need to tell me. And I don’t need to listen.”

“She has an irreplaceable position in my heart.”

“That’s enough!” Leilani yelled, slapping Waylen across his face. Was Waylen mad to tell her the significance of another woman in his life?

Without any suspense, her moves were stopped. Instead of getting mad, Waylen was in a lovely mood. He bent over and whispered at Leilani’s ears, “Oh, honey, you’re jealous.”

“Isn’t it time for you to leave?”

Leilani walked up to the other side of the couch. She didn’t want to spend another minute with Waylen.

Waylen walked over to her and grabbed her by her waist. They both fell down on the couch. Leilani was in Waylen’s arms.

“Why do you want me to change my icon?”

Leilani didn’t want to be bothered to explain. She held her hands against his chest to get up. But Waylen kept grabbing her by her waist, “who do you think is the woman in my icon?”

“None of my business. I don’t want to find out either.”

Leilani turned her head away from Waylen to avoid his look.

Leilani was quite stubborn. Waylen moved up to stroke her face and forced her to look at him.

“Of course, it’s your business.”

Waylen bit her earlobes and whispered, “You’re my wife, and she’s your mother-in-law.”

“What did you say?” Leilani was surprised at the unexpected answer. She couldn’t say another word. She always assumed the woman was Diana. But Waylen told her it was his mother.

So, the woman he used as his icon was his mother, not Diana?!

“Who do you think she is?” Waylen crossed his hands in front of her chest, stopping her from moving about. He held the phone up so she could see it. Then he clicked the photo to get it replaced.

“What are you doing?”

“Whatever my wife says. Honey, whatever you say is true. If you want me to change the pic, I will.”

Leilani became embarrassed. She had been speculating in her mind for such a long time. But as it turned out, it was just her imaginations.

“Is this from when your mother was young?”

Waylen nodded. He already opened his photos to choose a new one as his icon.

As Leilani looked at the photos, she realized something was wrong. These photos…

Even Leilani didn’t know when she took the pictures.

Did she get her pictures taken while she was asleep, played with Lucky, or in Zuri Hotel?

But she was the only person in all these pictures wherever the background was. There were no exceptions.

“How do you get all my photos? When do you take them?”

Waylen took secret photos of her!

“What? Didn’t you take secret photos of me too?”

Waylen said like he had every right to do so. But the corners of his mouth slightly pointed up. He smiled. He took photos from different angles of Leilani, stored them in his phones, and looked at them whenever he wanted.

Leilani frowned because she saw a picture of when she was asleep, her mouth was slightly open and drooling.

She reached out to take the phone to delete it. She needed to destroy it. How could he take such ugly photos of her?

“Will you delete it?”

Leilani didn’t want Waylen to keep any of these photos. But Waylen used the pic when she and he kissed at the open-air restaurant in Zuri Hotel. Then he added a very difficult code to his photos, and gave Leilani his phone.

“If you could open it, you can delete whatever phones you like. I’ll also promise you one thing.”

Leilani tried different sets of numbers. They were her birthday, Waylen’s birthday and their anniversary.

None of them was right.

At the presidential house

After Andrew received Leilani’s texts, he divided his security team in two. One headed for April Webster’s, and the other followed Andrew.

Andrew finally understood what Leilani meant by making things worse.

Andrew asked the bodyguards to guard the door, and he walked into the gym. In the farthest end stood three treadmills. A man in a tracksuit was jogging in the middle one.

Andrew took off his black coat, stepped on the treadmill on the right, and started running.

The man cast Andrew a look but didn’t say anything.

“Mr. Webster, I see you’re a sporting type.”

Andrew decided to talk to William first.

William only hummed as an answer to Andrew’s question.

“Can I talk to you for a second?”

“Go ahead,” William didn’t stop. He only slowed down the speed.

Andrew took out a piece of paper the size of a business card from his trouser pockets.

“I believe you dropped this.”

There were four pictures on the paper which vividly recaptured the disfiguring process of the character.

William took a peek, “Mr. Clifford, you’re wrong. This isn’t mine.”

Andrew knew William wouldn’t acknowledge it. He eyed James standing next to him. James immediately found a pile of manuscripts.

“If this piece of paper doesn’t belong to you, these signatures are written by you, right?”

William stopped the treadmill and turned at Andrew, “What do you want?”

“The suspect has identified Leilani as the one who put her to it. But that’s far from the truth. And you, William, are the only ones apart from Rebecca who knows the truth. I hope you could testify. I want you to say that Leilani acted in self-defense because Rebecca wanted to disfigure her first.”

“Mr. Clifford, you’re barking up the wrong tree. I don’t know exactly what happened.”

Andrew even knew he would get rejected. He put on a nice smile, “as far as I know, you’re a Christian.”

“So what?”

“William, do you really want to overlook justice and let the evil win?”

“I don’t need lecturing from you. I know how to act like a good Christian. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to keep exercising.”

William didn’t have a chance to get back to his exercise before a bodyguard came in a hurry.

“Mr. Webster, I just saw Mrs. Webster being chased by some guys in black hoodies. We went there to save her but are outnumbered.”

“Send our men there.”

Andrew ordered while hiding the cunning look. He soon led the bodyguards to save April, followed by William.

They ran to the back garden. The guys that went after April started fighting Andrew’s bodyguards. Some kicked April, who was on the floor. When they saw the rescue coming for April, they left quickly.

April had bruises and cuts all over her elbows and legs. She was vomiting blood on the floor. She couldn’t stop trembling while covering her belly.

William ran over to check her wounds. Andrew was in charge of chasing the men who just fled the scene. Andrew’s security team moved fast and started fighting them. The grass and flowers were crushed completely.

“Mom, are you okay?” William held his mother up. She had blood around the corners of her mouth. She could barely keep breathing, but still said weakly, “William, they want to kill me.”

“Who are they? Who wants to kill you?”

The bodyguards retreated and reported to Andrew, “Sir, they’re Your Highness’s men.”

April suddenly recalled what Leilani said to her. Did Rebecca really send them to silence her?

William bit his tongue so hard, and the fire of anger lit in his eyes.

“Rebecca?” He punched the grass, “I will not let her get away with it.”
