Chapter 157
Tears oozed out of her closed eyes and her cheeks twitched as she frowned in painful realization . She felt like she had never cried so hard before . She whimpered softly into her slumber .
When dawn had arrived with sunlight that shone upon her eyes, she sat up from the bed quickly and pulled her phone towards her to check the time .
Phew it was still early . There are probably only the maids downstairs at the moment…
A new kind of phobia haunted her . The source was none other than the Huo family . She could not imagine a normal breakfast with the entire family anymore . She placed down her phone and collected her thoughts . Having more conversations would only reveal more things about her past . She would not want to tremble at her words just to greet her parents .
It'll be better for me to leave . Right now .
She made up her mind and began packing . She tidied her hair clumsily and picked the earliest flight back to the city on her way downstairs . She grabbed her coat off the rack and a bottle of milk off the fridge before she left the crime scene for good .
She thought she was the only one who had nightmares the whole night . The reality was, the devil was not sleeping that soundly either . He got up and left his room right after Lu closed the front door and ran away . He gave a few knocks at Lu's room, only to hear no reply . Everything felt pointless by then .
"Son, get over here for dinner . " He ignored his father's call and headed straight for the front door . As he walked through the garden, Huo Chen was there . The prince also did not look that well as he appeared to be rather dispirited . One could tell sorrow by his expression . Huo Yunting gave a brief wave to greet him before walking past him hurriedly .
"Hold it . " Huo Chen reached out his arm and held Huo Yunting back, "Would you mind explaining your words last night? Yunting, I demand to know everything . " His eyes were stern .
Huo Yunting snorted towards Huo Chen's inquiry, as he laboriously took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket .

He inhaled deeply and let the nicotine clear his mind . The bit of glow twinkled among the columns of smoke . Huo Chen remained silent as he patiently awaited the explanation .
"Well…" The devil slowly made his statement after taking another deep breath, "I had made promise that somebody in the story, that I will not tell anybody about this, including her own mother . "

"But—"
"Huo Chen…" Huo Yunting interrupted, "Sometimes there are things you need to discover them yourself . "
" . . . "
Huo Chen's expression turned sterner yet there was nothing he could do .
He would not want to admit it . However, it was also a fact that there was no way for him to get anything from Huo Yunting at the moment .
But one thing for sure, Yang was hiding something .

"I still have a few errands to run at the company . I'll be leaving . See you next time . " Huo Yunting then stepped on the cigarette he threw and left . Huo Chen froze at the same spot, tasting the last bit of his brother's words like the scent of tobacco that remained .
Two hours later, Huo Yunting exited the carpark and walked briskly into Thunderbolt Corp, when someone came with an invitation card to a function . Huo Yunting seized the card and glanced at Secretary Lin Yazhi, "Call the Head Secretary here . " That was his last few words before he slammed the door shut and sealed himself in his office .
"Alright . " Lin Yazhi quickly returned to the office .
Huo Yunting then sank into his throne, with his darkened stare fixed upon the entrance in the gloomy room . The door was soon pushed open, with his beloved secretary stomping towards him expressionlessly . Her steps sounded steady to his ears as usual, yet he could perceive the irritation in it .
"Sir, is there anything?" Said Lu coldly .
Like seriously, the last person I need to see would be this Huo Yunting .

I don't want to see him if possible .
NOT AT ALL .
Huo Yunting gently pushed the finely-crafted invitation across the table, "Join me . "
Join you???
She remembered the fiasco he caused during the auction last time . Thanks to him being a "gentleman" she also managed to become the "superstar" in the headline news the next day .
So, now what? The same trick again?
