Chapter 307: Chapter 306 : Elise

Alice frowned as she felt something cold creep up her spine.

She looked back and their eyes met. She couldn't have mistaken him for any other guy.
He was finally here, Caspian Drake!

He was looking at her.

She involuntarily looked back and held Yulian’s hand. She was looking for support.

“Are you ok?” Yulian, who felt something strange, asked.

“Nothing…” she said, letting go of his hand in a hurry.

“What’s going on here?” Elena suddenly asked.

“What do you mean?” Theodore asked as he helped Luna to some refreshments.

“Ever since that handsome guy entered the hall, you, Mike, and Alice started acting nervously, even Victor escaped the hall like a sneaky cat. Who is this guy?” she asked.

“Oh… Well… He is Alice’s old fiance…” Mike finally said. “Alice refused his proposal in public and humiliated him!”

“I see…. WHAT!” Elena asked, she had no idea that her daughter was engaged to begin with.

“It’s a complicated story… Now I have Yulian… So don’t care about him…” Alice said.

“Oh…” Elena frowned and looked at Theodore for an explanation. He just ignored her.

She sighed. Feeling her husband's reluctance to talk, she decided to stop asking for now and interrogate him later tonight in bed… She knew which buttons to press to make him talk!

…

Victor quickly headed to the reception room where a group was waiting for him. It was none other than Gary who was accompanied by his girlfriend April and a girl in a wheelchair. To the side of them, there was an old man with a mask who was relaxing on a sofa and sipping the quality coffee the girls prepared for him!

“Young master Victor!” Gary greeted quickly when Victor walked in.

“Gary you are here!... I am happy to see you again” Victor said and then turned to face the old man.

“MASTER HARVEY!” Victor greeted, “It’s an honor to host you here at my humble wedding!” Victor said to the Von Gledstadt family patriarch as he bowed elegantly.

“Victor… It’s nice to meet you again!” Harvey said as April nodded to Victor. She couldn’t act out of order as Harvey was here… She really wanted to thank him though. That scroll he gave Gary to make her a player was very precious! One must know, the family would have never accepted her as a wife for Gary if she was not a player.

“I heard you wanted to meet me before the wedding,” Victor said.

“Yes, yes, let me introduce you!” Harvey said in an amused tone as he put his hand on the wheel-chaired girl's shoulder. “This is my great-granddaughter Elise… She is Gary’s cousin and the girl we promised you!” he said casually as he squinted his eyes as the girl shook a little and bowed her head nervously. She couldn’t see it, but she felt Victor’s burning gaze on her body, inspecting every nook and cranny. Salivating all over her tender skin…. NOOOOO…. The pervert was going to rape her!

“...” Victor, who was doing none of what the blind girl imagined, acted shocked as he looked at Elise then at Harvey then at the girl again before returning to Harvey. “We agreed on Valerie!”

“No, we didn’t!” Harvey corrected him coldly.

“We did! I clearly told you I wanted Valerie!”

“And I clearly scammed you to take Elise!”

“Butt…”

“We signed a contract!” Harvey said as Gary looked at Victor with a sense of awe. He had never seen someone barter with his great-grandfather like this before.

“Oh... You got a point there... Fine… But you said nothing about her being in a wheelchair!” Victor complained, making sure to not reveal that he knew that she was blind too.

“You didn’t ask!” Harvey said. “A deal is a deal!” he said, totally not caring for the little girl’s feelings.

“Fine… We will see about that later.” Victor said “Why don’t we head to the wedding hall, the main event is about to start, and being the groom, I can’t be late!” he said.

“Of course, of course!” Harvey said as he stood up, “Since Elise is already yours, why don’t you drive her there and get to know her?” Harvey said.

“Oh…” Victor hesitated then grabbed Elise’s wheelchair’s handle and began to push the shaking girl by himself. “Oh… She Vibrates!” he said, secretly telling Harvey that the girl is not accepting him.

“Yes!” Harvey nodded as they walked toward the elevator, “The best quality goods!” he played along as he put his hand on Elise’s shoulder calming her. “Exactly what you asked for!” he added, reminding Victor of their deal.

“I see…” Victor said. But it was clear that he was not amused.

“Elise… remember our conversation…” Harvey secretly told Elise as they walked.

She nodded in dismay. Totally unaware that this was meant to be the best day of her life.

“Ah…” she suddenly yelped, making Harvey frown and look at her. Victor had seemingly bumped her chair with a door.

“Sorry about that….” he said quickly.

The rest of their journey was a little awkward, as no one spoke as they walked.

Harvey sighed. Although Elise was being wronged. But staying with Victor was way better for her. He long knew that her position in the family was not safe, but he was too sick to intervene earlier, leading her to end up in a very screwed-up situation.

For now, she had a few missions to achieve while she was with Victor.
To spy on him and secure an inheritor with the Von Weiss bloodline, and find out where the hell he got the awakening scroll Gary used on April from.

That foolish grandson of his tried to hide it, but Harvey was 100 years older and 1000 times smarter!

Harvey had a hunch that Victor was not a simple guy at all, and his hunch was never wrong!

Victor would never truly hurt Elise, he might abuse her a little, but she was already used to that, it would also make the girl hate Victor and work harder to finish him off… And when she returns to the family she would have a better standing having proven herself!
On the other hand, if Victor treated her well, it was even better. The girl would get a loving family at last and maybe she would get to have a few peaceful years before the Von Weise family's inevitable demise!

He would be able to extract her then, with all the secrets she got!

It is a good deal no matter what, though the stupid girl didn’t know it.

…

Victor, who was aware of Harvey’s stupid thoughts, sighed as he inspected the girl.
