Chapter 378 – An Unbreakable Vow with the Heartless Tycoon

Waylen wanted to grab Leilani’s hand to go out, but Leilani stood still and stared at the face of Rebecca’s mother, “Auntie?”

That’s right. The president’s wife was the younger half-sister of Leilani’s mother. After Leilani’s grandmother had passed away, her aunt’s mother had remarried to the grandfather.

Leilani’s mother died young. But when Leilani was very young, she heard that the relationship between her mother and her aunt was not very good. Leilani had only seen her aunt once or twice at the family dinner party, and every time her aunt had said evil words to her.

When there was no one, her aunt would scold Leilani and said she was bitch’s daughter. At that time, she was less than five years old, and she didn’t know what that meant. Later, she knew that the relationship between her aunt and her mother was so bad.

Leilani didn’t know the identity of her aunt, and she never asked. Unexpectedly, her aunt was the wife of the president of Country B.

“It’s such a small world. Are you surprised?”

Indeed, it was a shock to Leilani. Leilani looked at Rebecca as Rebecca was held up by her bodyguard and put on the sofa. Several doctors came to rescue her. Suddenly, Leilani understood a lot of things.

Perhaps, Rebecca had already known they were cousins so that she said she wanted to have a sister that day.

“Arrest them.” Molly Arlington ordered the soldiers with guns to surround them immediately. The weapons aimed at them.

“Take them to the dungeon and send someone to inform Waylen’s grandfather that the princess fell in a faint because of them.”

Waylen was still protecting Leilani behind him, and Leilani knew that things were going to make a big deal.

If the old Mr. Bamford was involved in the matter, the ending of Waylen and her would be bad.

Leilani clenched her phone in her hand and pulled the clothes of Waylen, which were wrinkled by her.

Although Molly was her aunt, they have no family affection, or she would not let the soldiers take them to the dungeon.

As the soldiers approached them step by step, Waylen raised his foot to kick someone. A soldier fired a shot at the ceiling as a warning.

“I want to see the president.” Leilani stood up and said,

“Do you think it’s easy for you to see the president?” Molly approached them, “My daughter is so kind that she has tolerated you irritating her over and over again. I’m different. I have only a daughter. If she has any trouble, you will not feel better!”

“I’m your little kitty. Are you scared?”

“I’m not scared, but I think of…”

“Oh, you’re so bad.”

Leilani held the mobile phone high and played the video. She had secretly recorded this video to protect themselves and thought that she might not need this video. But now the video was in good use.

“I have set up timed sending in my mailbox. There are more than a dozen media addresses in my email. I know Country B is a very open country. But on the occasion of the president’s re-election, if the scandal is to be reported, you’ll mess things up.”  “How dare you!”

“The mailbox has a password, and only I can log in. The mail will be sent automatically in 10 minutes. Besides, I also sent a copy to Gabrielle.”

“You…” Molly was silenced for a moment by Leilani’s careful arrangement, and suddenly arrogantly clapped her hands, “Leilani, you are smarter than I thought.”

“That’s because there are so many people like you.”

Molly squinted her evil eyes slightly and said, “Take her to the president.”

“Don’t go.” Waylen caught Leilani’s wrist. It’s a very sensitive time, and Waylen could not allow her to leave his line of sight.

In the morning, Waylen’s grandfather had wanted to see him, so he took Robert to answer the appointment. When he came back, he left Robert outside the palace to get in touch with him. He was not unprepared for his sudden break-up with Rebecca.

This was the presidential palace of Country B. It’s undeniable that the president had a strong force. But if the president were going to attack Waylen, Waylen would also fight back.

Leilani turned to face Waylen, put her hands around his neck, and whispered in his ear, “I want to solve my mother’s affairs. I’ll be right there.”

Waylen caught her waist and kissed her, “If you don’t come out half an hour later, I’ll rush in.”

When Leilani approached Logan Arlington’s study, he sat on the sofa, with his hands habitually resting on his overlapping knees.

Staring at Leilani, Logan asked, “Are you the daughter of Olivia and Anthony?”

“Yes.” Leilani stopped in front of him, and there was a coffee table between them.

Logan’s fingers moved slightly on his knees, and the subtle movement may not even have been noticed by himself.

“To be frank, I’m not just here to see you.”

Logan raised his eyebrows, “What else do you want?”

He looked at Leilani again, who was in front of him and had a pair of bright eyes, which revealed her calmness and intelligence.

“If you want me to delete the video, I have two requirements.”

“Just say it.”

“The first one, get us out of here. Second, I want to see Cindy Michelle.” The ring in Cindy’s hand was the thing Leilani was interested in.

Ten minutes later, she saw Cindy in the meeting room, and Cindy was stunned. With a cigarette in her hand, Cindy smoked heavily.

“You and your baby are fortunate.”

Her words were familiar to Leilani, who also seemed to understand, “You are Cindy?”

“How do I look? You didn’t recognize me?” Cindy laughed, and continued to smoke, having no intention to take care of the pregnant woman in front of her.

“Why are you here?”

“I escaped here, or I would have died at your husband’s gun. Oh, I forgot, you and Mr. Bamford have divorced. Congratulations.”

Leilani was a little surprised. Although Cindy was in Country B, she knew a lot of things.

Finding that Leilani was looking at her, Cindy also looked at her, “You don’t just want to make sure I have plastic surgery, do you? Are you curious why I wanted you dead at that time?”

Cindy sat on the coffee table in the room, and her whole body leaned back. Soon, she heard Leilani deny it.

“No.”

Leilani looked at her finger, “I’m curious about the ring on your hand.”

Cindy looked down at the red diamond ring on her finger, “You say this one?”

Leilani thought she wouldn’t tell her truth so easily. Unexpectedly, Cindy confessed, “This ring is not mine. It’s your mother’s.”

Her being outspoken, on the contrary, made Leilani surprised.

It’s rare to see Leilani’s dull appearance. Cindy was very proud to say, “What a surprise, right? Your mother and Logan have been in love before.”

“You don’t know?” Cindy smiled and said, “I have to play the role of your mother in front of Logan every day, and I was asked to have plastic surgery according to your mother’s look.”

“!!!”

“Don’t look at me like that. The plastic surgery failed on purpose.”

“On purpose?” It’s no wonder that Cindy didn’t look like her mother very much.

“Do you think that Molly will let me go? She used to be jealous of a dead woman, and now it’s time for her to compete with me. She really has no idea how old she is.”

“Why are you telling me this?”

Cindy kept silent for a moment, and her eyes flashed a trace of gloom, “Because I used almost to kill you. Oh, I heard that Leonie went crazy. She really deserved it. She was the one who wanted me to kill you.”

It’s really Leonie! However, Leonie was crazy, and there was no need to bother about it with a madman. But Cindy used to be at odds with Leilani. Could Leilani believe what she said to her?

Like seeing through her thoughts, Cindy tried to make herself look indifferent and said, “Whether you believe it or not, I can’t go back to your city anyway. I just want to stay in Country B, and there is no conflict of interest with you. It’s no good for me to do anything wrong with you. I won’t be so stupid.”

“Do you know anything about my mother and the president’s wife?”

Cindy has lived in the presidential palace for a while, and she might know something from gossip even if she didn’t take the initiative to ask about it.

Cindy raised her mouth corner, disdainfully. As the cigarette burned out, she pinched out the cigarette end in the ashtray, “The two women fell in love with the same man. How could your mother win Molly with her personality? I heard that Molly was pregnant later and that your mother went back to the city. Soon she got married, and you were born a year later. Molly also married Logan as she wished.”

Leilani did not expect to hear the story of her mother from Cindy. Feeling that her head was going to blow up, she pressed her finger against the temple, and the pain was relieved a little.

There were many puzzles in her mind, such as whether her mother got the newly developed toxin, resulting in a significant change of character.

And why would her mother be so obsessed with jumping off the cliff?

Leilani thought Cindy probably didn’t know it. After all, these things happened in the city.

“Thank you.” Leilani thought that this information was enough, “The ring…”

“I won’t give it back to you. This is the reward for telling you so many secrets.”

Leilani nodded, “Just put it at your place for the time being.”

Cindy did not expect Leilani to be so generous, took out another cigarette, and squinted at her through white smoke, “I’ll tell you another secret as a gift.”

Leilani has turned around to leave, and she was pressed in place by Cindy.

“Logan has been sending people to search for your mother all these years. When your mother jumped off a cliff and killed herself, Logan was stunned. He has never believed that your mother was dead. He said that if he could not find her body, he could not believe her death. Oh, he was so faithful to your mother. He did not touch me even if I flirted with him. I really don’t know how Molly got pregnant in the past.”

No wonder Logan was very calm in the face of Cindy that day.

Leilani’s mother tried to jump out of the building many times in the city, but all stopped by Anthony, so Leilani’s memory always stayed in the picture of persuading her mother not to jump.

But her mother was determined to die, sneaked on the cliff, and jumped off.
