Chapter 799 Jane's Shocking Offer
Day Eighty-Three...
~~*****~~
Vincent had been pacing back and forth across Nathan's office when he received a call from his underling.
He hurriedly answered the call, hoping to hear a piece of good news.
"What happened? Where's Mia? Did you manage to escape from your pursuers?"
"We secured Mia. And..." he paused for a moment.
"And what?" Vincent asked, feeling impatient.
"And we brought Phantomflake with us. She has already agreed to your terms and conditions, our King."
Vincent was taken aback for a moment. Then his eyes sparkled with joy and excitement.
"Where are you?" "In your secret villa, my King!" He replied.
Without further ado, Vincent grabbed his coat and his car keys, rushing out of the office.
"Phoenix, Let's go!" Vincent threw the car keys to his subordinate.
Feeling puzzled, Phoenix just followed his big Boss as they headed to the parking area.
"Where are we going, Sir?" Phoenix politely asked him as he started the car.
"To my secret villa," Vincent promptly responded.
Phoenix just nodded in understanding. He could sense the urgency in Vincent's voice.
His heart was beating so fast. He couldn't believe that Jane finally agreed to marry him. His husky laugh suddenly bubbled up inside the car. He couldn't contain his joy.
'It looks like I won. I defeated Nathan. I could imagine how devastated he was when Jane chose Mia and me over him.'
Vincent was as happy as a clam.
Sensing his mistrust, Jane spoke again.
"I'm serious with my offer, Vincent. I'm tired of your game. All I want is to live peacefully with my daughter. Earlier, I realized what is the most important thing to me... It's not Nathan... but it's Mia."
"I don't want to lose her again," Jane added, trying to convince Vincent.
"If I want to be stubborn, I can easily kill your men and escape from this mansion. But here I am, trying to negotiate with you for my daughter's sake."
Vincent was still silent. "If you refuse my offer, then you will face more consequences. My father will mobilize his men to destroy you. The Syphiruz Mafia and the Sawada Clan will work together to get me back. Now is your chance to stop this war. Marry me and forget about your revenge," she boldly offered him with a straight face.
"If I agree to this, will you stop seeing Nathan? I want you to stop communicating with him. Sever ties with him. That's my only request. Then I will do it... forgetting about my revenge and I will stop causing trouble for Nathan and his family." Vincent stated his demand.
"Okay. Once I marry you, I will stop seeing him. I will no longer communicate with him if that is what you want." Jane said confidently, reassuring Vincent. She didn't break their eye-to-eye contact when she said those words, convincing Vincent of her sincerity.
Vincent grabbed her shoulders tightly and said, "Then prove it to me, Jane. Show me your sincerity by actions, not by words."
Jane just nodded. "Okay. I will show you my sincerity. I will be the one to talk to my father about our marriage. I will stay here with you together with Mia. Let's do all the preparation within a week. Then we will do our church wedding after."
Vincent was at a loss for words. Jane was firm in her decision to marry him.
"If you are still in doubt, we can announce our marriage to the public. I promise I will never try to escape. I will walk down the aisle in my wedding dress and meet you there at the altar." Jane's words were full of promises, erasing Vincent's doubt.
"Okay. Let's do that. I hope you are not deceiving me, Jane. I swear... if you abandon me, you will suffer a great consequence."
Jane took a deep sigh. "I don't care if you believe me or not. I only want to be with my daughter. I'm tired of this game."
After saying that, Jane brushed his hands off her shoulders and she turned around, heading to Mia's room.
Vincent just watched her back with complicated emotions on his face. 'Am I dreaming? Is this real? Jane wants me to marry her.'
Vincent was still frozen in his spot, trying to absorb everything. After he recovered, he summoned Phoenix.
"My King, do you need me?" Phoenix asked as he approached him.
"I want you to hire the most famous wedding planner in the city. Contact the number one media company in this country. Jane and I will make an important announcement about our wedding. I want you to assist me in the preparation."
"Got it, My King. I am here to serve you."
"Oh, one more thing. Assign someone to secretly monitor Jane's movement. Report everything to me. Let me know if she tries contacting someone, most importantly Nathan. I want her to be put on strict surveillance, twenty-four seven!"
"Noted, My King. Leave this to me."
