Chapter 1045 A Ghastly Photo

Never having seen Zoelle in such a modest getup, Vince was bewildered. Her long black hair and white dress made her very attractive, and he could not help staring at Zoelle. He yearned to ask why she was with Gary. Although Gary did not know Vince, Vince knew Gary very well as he worked for Joseph. He did not think Gary was a nice man since he had conspired with a bastard like Noah. Vince was wholly unaware of what had transpired as he was grounded for the last two days. He did not know the latest about the Noah situation, and neither did he know that Joseph and Chloe had reconciled. Gary inspected the impact site as Vince’s thoughts went wild. There was just a slight scratch at the rear of Vince's car. Although it was not serious, Gary knew he was at fault. He fished out some banknotes from his wallet and handed them to Vince. "I'm in a rush, bud Just take this money for the repairs,” he said. Not accepting the money, Vince looked at Zoelle and asked, "Is he your new lover?" Rolling her eyes, Zoelle answered, "It's none of your business." Vince calmly explained, "I was riled up the other day and had a slip of the tongue. I'm sorry. I hope you make a serious reflection of your life. I’m in no position to meddle in your life, but I know you'll get hurt if you keep living such a chaotic life. Please don't ruin it with your greed and desire." "Shut up!" Zoelle retorted fiercely, "Who are you to me, and what gives you the right to comment about my life? How is my life chaotic? Do you have any evidence? Why are you slandering me? I hate self-righteous men like you!" Zoelle wondered why Vince was saying these things while they were in front of another man and what would Gary think of her. Although she did not fancy Gary, she could not tolerate Vince’s comments. "I..." Vince realized that he had misspoken again. "I didn't mean that. Please let me explain." "Oh, I see now. You're one of Zoelle's suitors, aren't you?" Gary stood in front of Zoelle and stared at Vince mockingly. "Get out of the way. I don't want to talk to you," Vince said. "No, I won't let you bully Zoelle." Vince coldly pushed Gary out of the way. Although Gary was pretty strong in his own right, he could not withstand a push from the heftily-built Vince and stumbled a few steps back. Vince grabbed Zoelle's hand, attempting to usher her to his car. "Don't get close to him. He's not a nice guy." "You're not a nice guy either." Zoelle shook off Vince's hand. "I only want the best for you, Zoelle. This guy and Noah framed Ms. Chloe together. You just don't understand how horrible Noah is right now as it’s been a long time since you’ve contacted each other. If you ask me, I think it’s due to karma that Noah fell ill. You should stop being friends with him." Being a straightforward person, Vince did not hold back his words. However, he quickly realized something contradictory. Noah and Gary were bad, and if birds of a feather flock together, then Zoelle was not a nice person either. However, he could not bear to see her get hurt. Did he feel this way because of the words he had said impulsively the other day, or because of some other unknown reason? Zoelle frowned and was about to say something when Vince's phone lit up. A ghastly photo appeared, causing Vince’s expression to fall. Noticing something was wrong, Zoelle leaned in to look at the photo as well.
