Can't Resist the Billionaire

Chapter 69  Vincent's Family Background is Unusual

Duke could also hear that, although Vincent sounded very polite, it was obvious that he didn't want him

to get in touch with his grandfather. So he smiled awkwardly, saying: "That's fine. Isn't your

grandfather's 70th birthday next month? I'll visit him then!"

Duke kept mentioning that he wanted to see Vincent's grandfather, which made me very curious. What

kind of big shot was Vincent's grandfather? Why was Duke Murphy, such a rich man, was so eager to

see him? And he still didn't want to give up after what Vincent had said

Confused, I turned to look at Vincent and saw that he was a little annoyed by Duke's repeated mention

of his grandfather. Then I tried to smooth things over, "Well, why aren't the dishes we want still here?"

Probably because the atmosphere in the room was a little gloomy, Duke hastened to say. "Yes, I'll ask

the waiter!"

Then, he rang the bell next to him. Then Vincent said to Duke, "I want to buy the villa under Jasmine's

name. Is it okay?"

Hearing this, Duke was slightly taken aback. He looked at Vincent as if he didn't believed what he just

said. Seeing that Vincent was determined, he asked him with slight hesitation, "Have you made up your

mind?"

"Yes, since long ago. Let's do it in the afternoon. You don't need to worry about the money. Once the

formalities are done, the money will be transferred to your account immediately!"

Suddenly, Duke looked up into my face and said in a strange tone, "Did your father give you the

money?"

Hearing his question, Vincent became a bit displeased. He replied wryly, "I got it legally anyway. Don't

worry about anything else. Just help me complete the formalities!"

"Alright then. We will do it after lunch. Since you have already thought it through, I won't say anything

more!" Duke laughed freely and light-heartedly. His gaze returned to me and seemed filled with

admiration. Looking me up and down, he sighed, "Jasmine is indeed charming. I've never seen Vincent

care about a woman so much!"

His words were mixed with praise and criticism, which made me feel strange. Vincent probably felt the

same as I did, so he said unhappily, "It's not because she has charm, it's just that I want to settle down

and have a family!"

Duke was shocked at his words. He looked at Vincent for a full minute before asking, "Have you

decided to marry her?"

I thought the reason why Duke was so shocked was that he knew the background of Vincent's family

too well. He knows that his family would never accept a divorced woman.

However, Vincent's answer was exceptional confirm. "Yes, I will marry her, but I'll need her consent

first!"

After that, he suddenly turned his head and looked at me, smiling: "But now Jasmine hasn't trusted me

that me, so I'll should try harder!"

Feeling a little embarrassed by what he said, I said, "Well, I need to go to the bathroom."

The bathroom was not far away. I just washed my hands before coming out. Before I entered the

private room, I suddenly heard Duke talking to Vincent about me. "Have you asked your father? Will he

approve?"

Vincent paused and said in a low voice, "I told him about Jasmine, but he didn't approve. But my

grandfather approved!"

This time Duke was even more shocked that he even raised his tone. "What, your grandfather

approved?"

"Yes!" At this point, Vincent suddenly said proudly, "I haven't expected him to accept Jasmine. I thought

he would be the most difficult to deal with!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Duke then asked curiously, "But why? Did he meet Jasmine?"

"No, he only told my father that he hoped I lived well. It really didn't matter who the girl was and

whether or not her family was rich!"

Vincent suddenly became a bit upset, "I don't want to hide it from you. I think it's probably because after

my mom went to the Rocky Mountains, my grandfather suddenly accept everything in this world. After

all, my mom was exactly destroyed by his stubbornness!"

Hearing Vincent's words, Duke felt a little sad. "I do not know much about your family, but since your

grandfather has agreed, I think you two may get married soon!"

Hearing this, Vincent gave a wry smile, just saying, "I hope so. But no matter what, my marriage must

be decided by myself. I won't be like my parents, I'm not a puppet of anyone and will not make a bet

with my life!"

Then I deliberately made some noise, and the room suddenly became quite. I pushed open the door

and found that the waiter had already served all the dishes. Then we chatted a while and went to

Duke's company after lunch.

The villa was located near Duke's Company, so we directly handled the formalities there. After Duke

named the villa under my name, Vincent directly went to bank and transferred ten million dollars to

Duke.

When all was done, it was almost evening. I reckoned it was almost off-duty time, so I told Vincent it

was time to go home.

Upon hearing this, Vincent's face darkened. "Home? Which home?"

Seeing that he seemed to be angry again, I hurriedly explained in a low voice, "Which home could it

be? Of course... that one!"

The last sentence, I said, was as low as I could. I almost didn't dare to let Vincent hear it, but how could

he miss it?

"Why do you think I bought the villa for you?" Vincent glared at me. He said to me, "Tell Christopher

you're on a business trip tonight and don't know when you'll be back!"

"Don't joke. Since when do I have a temporary business trip? Besides, he will be suspicious if this

happens. If everyone in the company knows about it, we..."
