After hanging up the phone, Mary wandered in front of rows of fragrans trees.
Although its foliage wasn't especially beautiful, the fragrance it gave off and the peaceful memories it evoked on Mary were incomparable to any other tree.
By the time Victor arrived, he found Mary standing with her back to him. He saw she gently reached out her left hand to the tree's branch while slowly approaching one of the yellow flowers to take in its intoxicating fragrance.
With his heavy breathing, it was clear that Victor had run his way there. Nonetheless, he couldn't wait to pull out his phone and take a photo of her slim figure under the tree.
With a click, Victor saved the photo and smiled with satisfaction.
"Mary!"
At the sound of his voice calling out her name, Mary looked back at Victor in shock.
"Oh my God! What... Are you really here?" Mary ran over with a surprised smile. "How did you find me?"
"I have my methods," Victor answered, smiling back at her.
"Humph," Mary snorted. "Tell me!"
"I just randomly found the location through your cellphone, and then with my personal charm, I inquired about the place wit
blurted. "He gave me money and then we got married!" she continued with tears in her eyes.
"What?" Victor's face contorted in shock. It had crossed his mind that Mary and William could have an arrangement involving money, but he had thought it was a crazy idea. It turned out he was right in the end.
"That's it. Now I must stay with him. Whether he likes women or men, I can only watch and suffer!" At that moment, Mary squatted down and burst into tears.
"Mary!" Victor pulled her up immediately. "You still have me!"
Stretching out his hand, Victor pulled her into an embrace. She stiffed in his arms, but before she could react, Victor's warm lips touched hers.
Meanwhile, in A City, William was in the AJ Group CEO's office when he put down the phone angrily.
'How bold you're now, Mary! Do you really believe I can't control you from afar?' William thought furiously. 'You said you were going back to your hometown, right? I think you went there to meet another man! Good job, Victor! Do you think I couldn't recognize your voice?'
As his thought ran wild, William grabbed his phone again and dialed a number in a hurry.
