Chapter 227 - Meeting His Sisters
She had this conclusion after a few days of investigation. Now that DV Inc. has an office in one of the Shen buildings, she could easily monitor her daily activities.
Since the Shen restaurant catered their lunch meal every office day, she ordered the restaurant manager to keep an eye on any complaints or requests made by the company.
And in these passing days, the manager reported to her that Hailey made a special request. She wanted to make a separate meal for her, and there are few spices she doesn't want to add to the dishes, such as tomatoes. And she wants the garlic to fry and the bell pepper.
Added to the report, she frequently ordered berries pie and chocolate cakes, especially black forest cake and caramel cupcakes.
This unusual craving led her to that conclusion. And to observe her son and Hailey, both seem not to understand her cravings yet.
'After all, she was her daughter.' she mumbled to herself after remembering someone. She was staring at Hailey; she could not help but contemplate other things.
Later on, Hilda snaps herself back to reality.
"What were you thinking?" Fred slightly elbowed her in the arm and gave her a meaningful stare.
A glare flashed her eyes. She quickly concealed her emotion and showed her poker face. "What should I think?"
"You were staring at her."
"Is that long already?" she asked Fred. Her husband nodded at her. Hilda lowered her gaze, avoiding discussing his point. She told Fred, "Let's continue to eat."
"You don't need to deny it. I know you were thinking about her family."
"Our world is too small not to cross an old acquaintance. That's what I'm thinking."
"Then I am right. You were thinking about her family," said Fred. He was more likely mumbling to himself rather than talking to Hilda.
On the other hand, she only glared at him but then dropped the topic; however, Fred isn't done yet. It is good that Janise keeps chatting with Hailey; she mainly paid attention to Janise and less to them.
"She didn't get any features from her mom." Fred casually commented, putting a spoonful of lobster and rice on his mouth.
Hilda has rendered speechless and didn't respond to him. Fred is studying her moods, who soon give up on the thought that Hilda wanted to discuss.
Well, she didn't argue with Fred about his observation. True enough. He was right with his perception. Besides, who doesn't know about the Davies family and their wealth?
Sure everyone knew about them, especially Fred.
Staring at her plate, Hilda raised her head and glanced at Hailey before her gaze moved to her son. Indeed. It can be seen how her son was happy when he was with this girl.
Her daughters argued with her, pursuing her to give their big brother the happiness he deserves. Sure, Vincent has never had a girlfriend or flings in the past.
He is an obedient son and does well in his study, pursuing two courses to help run their company. And then, he succeeded in the career he chose.
They acknowledged him internationally for his competencies and achieved such recognition with his skill—something to be enjoyed and happy with his success.
But they said his success isn't complete without a woman by his side. And when he has a wife, her son throws her away and never attempts to work on that marriage. Instead, he holds the trophy as his mistress.
But wait… She isn't just an ordinary mistress.
She has the power to put Vince to the pinnacle of success or place him to the lowest point of his career.
Despite how she mistreated her in the past, it still allows Vince to work in Dream City.
According to Carl, neither Vincent nor he knew her real identity, who he was in the Mafia Association for a longer time.
Somehow, her weakness is Vincent. That is why, after she learned that the Lan who plotted Vincent's accident, she wanted to crush them immediately. Now, she's praying that this girl won't hurt Vincent to take revenge on her.
Now, the Lan Enterprise completely falls in their hands. If proven that Eva was part of the plans, she is going to jail as well, and she doesn't care anymore.
As soon as possible, she should sign the divorce papers, and much better if she wouldn't see her for the rest of their lives.
But what grounds could she stand if someone like Hailee Davies, who she was against? Of course, she would not back down to fight her if she hurt Vince.
"Hilda…"
She was pulled back to her senses when someone shook her shoulder. "What?" she snapped.
"Haven't you heard? Your daughters are here!" said Fred with enthusiasm.
"What?"
Hilda was stunned for a moment. She didn't notice that everyone was already on hype after Deana and Sheena suddenly appeared.
Not so long ago… Two beautiful women entered the greenhouse and exclaimed.
"Surprised!"
Everyone, except Hilda, looked in the fountain's direction, where two women stood there with a massive smile across their faces.
And among the people on the table, it was Janise who first rushed to greet them. "Sister Dee! Sheena! Oh, my gosh! What a surprise!"
The three women were now happily embracing. Soon, Deana and Sheena scanned the other people present tonight. Both were overjoyed to see another person—the one they wished to meet again.
"Hailey!"
Instead of greeting their parents and brother, Deana and Sheena rushed toward Hailey.
"Hi." Hailey smiled at Vince's beautiful sisters, who were walking toward her. "Oh…"
The girls hug her, so he embraces them as well.
"I'm happy to meet you, girls," Hailey uttered as they squeezed tightly, almost crushing her, but the smile remained on her face. She was happy that Vince's sisters warmly greeted her.
"Girls, don't…." She wanted to warn them not to press Hailey's body. Gladly, she immediately shut her mouth before she could spill out the words.
She couldn't help react after seeing that both of her daughters were crushing Hailey's body; she gets worried as she has her suspicions that Hailey possibly was already carrying a child in her body.
Sheena and Deana let go when they heard their mom's voice. They walked toward her and greeted her with an embrace. "Hi, mom. Sorry if we didn't greet you first."
"I… It's okay. I just wanted to scold you for not telling us ahead." She just used that excuse because it was true, anyway. If she had known, she would have made an even huge gathering. Maybe dinner with everyone in their family.
"It can no longer be called a surprise when we tell you," Sheena said, putting out her tongue.
Hilda shrunk her pupils to give her youngest daughter a warning stare, and she is no longer a child to act like this. Sheena is indeed still playful until now.
"Dad!" Sheena and Deana next to greet their dad before their brother.
"Ah, my princesses!" Fred couldn't be content with the joy filling his chest. Every day, he is missing his daughters.
However, he could not persuade them to come back to Metro City because the life they prefer is away from their mom. Besides, their husbands were successful in their careers.
Wallace is an International Soccer player, while the restaurant that Stephen and Sheena manage were doing well.
"Hey, girls." Vince steps forward to hug his sisters. If there is someone who is too happy tonight, that is him.
In fact, he just suppressed himself not to show how emotional he was at this moment. To see his parents, mainly his mom, is opening the door for Hailey. Now his sisters have arrived to visit them. Such a night to celebrate.
"Brother! I missed you!" Both Sheena and Deana said.
"I missed you both too."
"Ah! I can't believe this!" Later, Sheena burst out. After the girls greeted everyone, they were now continuing to eat at the long table.
"I was really happy to meet you, Hail, I mean… We already met before, but that was just like a brief encounter."
Hailey smiled at Sheena. "I'm also happy to meet you again."
"I will never forget that day! I still remember perfectly what kind of face my brother has while he's staring at Hailey across the road!"
Hailey looked at Vince, full of love. It thrilled her to hear this story from other people aside from Vince. That's why, in the next half hour, the table filled with laughter.
"However, I could not believe that my brother is such a man! In the end, he could never ask Hailey out!" Sheena added.
"I was afraid of being sprayed with lemonade." Vince jokes; he winked at Hailey.
She rolled her eyes. She blushed because of that part. And probably, if Vince approached her that time and asked her out, she would think he has an ulterior motive, and that is to take advantage of her like most of the stranger men who want to get close to her.
Sheena continued blabbering over dinner. Everyone didn't notice, but Hilda, who kept observing Hailey, saw how much dessert she had already consumed.
'She's putting herself and the child in danger of overeating sweets.'
Hilda couldn't help complaining, which she can't voice out yet. 'Maybe I have to warn Vincent. He has to watch this girl's diet.'
But the problem is, Vincent has no idea yet. So then, Hilda had decided. "Vincent, are you going to stay over?" she asked Vince all of a sudden.
Everyone at that table was a little surprised, but it made Sheena and Deena ecstatic.
"Why are you guys going back to the penthouse?" Sheena mouthed.
"We want to talk with Hailey all night." Deana chimed in.
"Yes! We girls can stay in one room and chat all night!" Janise suggested, which the sisters concurred with the idea.
"Are you girls going to steal my love tonight?" Vincent raises an eyebrow, but his tone has humor in it.
After that, the three girls admitted, together they exclaimed, "Yes!"
Vincent glanced at his watch. It's still nine o'clock at night. "Okay. You need to bring her back to me at midnight," he said.
"Eh? Is Hailey some kind of Cinderella? It's the opposite, though!"
Everyone laughed at Janise's joke, which confused the sisters. Janise then explained, "Oh! No one told you yet. She is Hailee Davies!"
The shock painted on their faces. "You…"
