Chapter 130 Why?
VICTORIA'S POV ...
'The man was David, President Edwards's assistant.'
That line wasn't only a line for me, but an eradication of my conviction. My phone was pressed to my
ear and my eyes were glued to my brother, who was now squatting before my baby, playing with his
nephew, unaware of my gaze on him.
I am frozen on the ground. Never in my life had I ever imagined that the man who called me was one of
the closest people to Antonio.
No, I don't doubt my brother. I know him and he would never do anything to harm me but always
protected me and even will forever. But Daniel? He is someone Antonio trusted a lot. How am I going to
put my inner turmoil aside and investigate this matter?
"Ma'am? Are you there?" I heard Sgae's worried tone from the other side and nodded my head. "Hmm,
listening. Just a second." I replied and after taking one last look at my happy family, I stepped out of the
living room.
I rushed to my room and closed the door carefully. This is getting too much complicated at this point.
"Hmm... Go on." I urged Sage after settling on the couch in my bedroom. "Did you investigate it
properly, Sage? David is the most trusted guy of Antonio."
"Yes, Ma'am," Sage replied confidently. "I know this is sensitive and after getting the information, I
cross checked it again and again and it turned out the truth. David worked for Miss White. But the
reason is still unknown." He said.
I remained silent for some time before speaking, "Do you have enough proof, Sage? I need a concrete
proof at this point."
"Yes, ma'am. I do have. The voice record of the man on the call matched with him in the examination.
Even have an eye witness who has seen him with Miss White in the art school." He replied. "Just a little
push and he will blurt it out. Now, after Miss White's death, he is powerless." He added.
"Fine then. Pick me up this evening. We will pay a visit to this new guest. Till then keep a close eye on
him and let me know if you get any more information regarding this or any other matter." I ordered.
"Yes, ma'am." He replied respectfully before I hung up the call.
I leaned on the couch, tossing the phone beside me. What could be the reason for David to work with
Camilla? He has always been loyal to Antonio. And as his sister, David shouldn't have hurt me. Then Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
why?
The more depth I am getting into this matter, the more it's getting complicated. If David took a step to
hurt me. Then it's very much possible that he is planning to hurt Antonio, or maybe, the whole Edwards
family.
Still, that one question remains, why?
Soon, Antonio's haggard face crossed my mind. Is there something going on in the company that he is
not sharing with us and enduring it alone? Now, with a hidden enemy around us, I am more scared for
him.
I thought for some more time but was pushed back to the dark corner of confusion. Nothing came to my
mind that could relate to David in this matter. So, I decided to let it go for now and find it out in the
evening.
Right now, I need to turn my focus on my husband, who requires it. I guess, I should call him. While
going to the phone list for his number, I came downstairs only to find that, Alessandro is already home.
Our eyes met from a distance. Yet, I couldn't read him. He is blank and off for some reason. As I
started walking toward him, Antonio noticed him too.
"Aless?" He sounded confused. "Didn't you go to the office this morning? Why did you come back this
early?" He asked, now sounding worried. "Is everything alright in the company? Did Dominic do
something?" He stood up from the sofa and both mama and papa turned their attention to him too.
I walked close to my man. Without a word, I hold his hand and caressed the back of it. He looked at me
and those blue eyes were somewhat dull, asking for some warmth and appreciation.
I smiled at him in assurance and nodded at him. Silently saying to him that, 'Everything is fine and I will
support him no matter what.'
The formed eclipse in his eyes softened a little as he inhaled a sharp breath before turning to my
parents and brother, who were staring at us in confusion but know that something is gonna come to
their way.
"Yeah, I came back. I came back... Permanently." He finally breathed out.
Antonio frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
"Yes, Aless." Mama spoke, "What happened, son?"
"I..." Aless paused and I tightened my grip on his hand, assuring him again. His stiffened body relaxed
a little, "I left Reywalt Permanently. I have given my shares to Dominic."
"What!?" All three of them gasped in unison as they stared at us as if they just saw aliens landing
before them.
"Are you fucking kidding us!?" Antonio was the one who reacted first. "What did you do!? Gave up your
shares and fight, for that... Bastard!?"
"Antonio..." I warned my brother this time. "Calm down. Listen to him first." I was very calm than others
at the moment.
"Calm down?" He frowned and then his eyes widened a little in realisation. "You want me to calm
down? This man just gave away his sweat and blood to someone who never thought before hurting
him!?" He stated in displeasure.
Suddenly, "Wait, you knew about it? Victoria! Have you gone crazy along!?"
Before I could speak, Papa came forward and hold Antonio's shoulder. "Vic is right. Calm down,
Antonio. Let's hear him first and then we will talk, okay? He is the one to choose and I am sure he
didn't do anything without thinking."
Papa turned to us and gestured for us to go forward. "Let's seat here and talk. I am sure, the
misunderstandings will be resolved by this."
I agreed with Papa and pulled Alessandro's hand to the front and made him seat before sitting closely
beside him as Leo was taken away by Maria.
After we all settled into the sofa, Mama watched us with concern, "Go ahead, Aless. We are all here to
listen to you. You are one of us and we believe in you. Now, come on. Go ahead." She said as I felt his
grip on my hand tightens.
I caressed my thumb on his knuckle, smiling up at him with a nod. Reassuring him that I am always
with him ...
