Chapter 342 - My Wife

Elizabeth was almost on her way to the outskirts of the city when she notices military men inspecting the road.  She grinds her teeth together and ponders on what to do. Her hands were tightly holding onto the wheel. 

"Damn it! They already knew..."

It frustrates her that her family knew of the current situation yet is doing nothing to help her but instead, prevent her from doing anything unnecessary. If they knew about the situation, they would have gone and rescue Little Yan already. Yet, here they are trying to catch her instead. 

"What should I do?" Elizabeth thought hard of a way to get out of her current situation. 

It was not long when the various cars on halt moved in a slow manner and were thoroughly inspected one at a time. Each car showed no resistance to the investigation and happily cooperated with the military. But, it made them curious and suspicious as to why the sudden check. 

Elizabeth realized she had no choice but to cooperate as well. In the end, they will catch her. She has already analyzed her situation and expected some of the soldiers waiting at Jade Palace. 

"Will see then..." 

...

Meanwhile, Feng Xiaotong just received news that the Zhao men are going a checkpoint on the outskirts of the city. 

"Where does the road lead?" He asked.

"If I'm not wrong Young Master, the road leads to M City."

"What's in M City?" Feng Xiaotong muddled as he gathered his thoughts together. 

"Not a lot master, but one of the best community estate is also located there. Jade Palace..."

Feng Xiaotong couldn't see the connection between M City and the Zhao. Also, the fact that Jade Palace is located there. He knows that Jade Palace is home to most political leaders as well. It was like Imperial Garden Plaza. 

"Prepare to assist the Zhao, head straight to where they are. I have a feeling Li Zi is already there?" Feng Xiaotong order. 

Feng Xiaotong was right about the fact that Elizabeth was indeed there, but he was already too late. For the situation was out of the blue and believable that once would find it hard to believe that such a person could do such things. 

...

Jayden Stanford who just received the same news as Feng Xiaotong was also on his way to the checkpoint. Coincidently, he was behind Feng Xiaotong and his men. 

He grabbed his phone and called the person in front of them. "Seems you do control this country?"

Feng Xiaotong was not in the mood to be talking to the man, he was far concern of the girl's current situation. "Then, you should give up and let me handle the situation."

"I don't trust you to be able to handle the situation. I mean, you and your friend are so alike. I give you all the warning and yet you can't even put a leash on Liz and prevent her from putting herself in danger. What rights do you even have to take care of her when you can't even do it now? Have you forgotten who she is? The daughter of the Knightley family was put in danger by her own fiance. To think the mighty and aw so powerful Feng family couldn't protect their future daughter-in-law. What a shame?" Jayden Stanford's words were cold yet true. He really wished to p***ed the man off and cause him to erupt like a volcano. Seeing the man lost control was his pure entertainment. 

"Please, you who have the biggest chance before but was too blind. To think Li Zi was so head over heels over you yet you couldn't see the true gem in front of you. I wonder how your family will think of you as well. I mean, what would people say about you. The young proud son of the Stanford was too blind to realize the true gem and decided to play with some rotten stones. Such a shame don't you think? I mean, I would rather sleep with a man than sleep with a s.l.u.t who in the end..."

Jayden Stanford was on the peak of erupting. He didn't expect the man had investigated what happened that day. He expects Jackie who knew the girl very well have told the man of what happened at that time. 

He did not expect that on that day, he was being played around. The model was hired by his older brother who was jealous of him for their father's wishes for him to manage the company in the future. At that time, his brother already found out the identity of the girl. If people knew that the Young Princess of the Knightley was in love with his brother and the two would be unioned in the future, it just gives his father more reason to give the company to him. So that night, on that dreadful and regrettable night. His brother drugged him and it was already too late when he gained his consciousness back. He already saw himself sleeping with the woman. What made things worse was the fact that Elizabeth showed up that night. He regretted that night and almost killed the girl he slept with. However, the girl was one of his friends whom he helped become where she was. But did not expect he'll be betrayed. 

"You have no right to judge me, I was not myself that night..." Jayden Stanford clenched his phone in anger as he maintained the same calm tone. 

"Please, even I know when to raise and control myself. Even if I was drugged, I'll rather suffer than fool around especially... You had her for years yet you didn't... Why???" Feng Xiaotong was curious about that fact. 

Why Jayden Stanford never made things official between him and Elizabeth. During those years they were together, the man did not play around with any girl at all. He never went out with anyone nor hang out with any of his friends. Instead, he devoted himself to the girl. As if she was her sun and moon. His morning and night... His breath of air. 

"You have all the time to make things official between you, yet you never did. You spent all your time with her as well. One fact I'm sure of, your family won't be against you marrying Li Zi for her educational standards and achievement are already enough for your family to approve of you to be together. Yet why? Why didn't you make things official? What were you waiting for?" 

"It's none of your business..." Jayden Stanford was no longer in the mood to play around with the man and ended the call. He sat back on rested his head back. He sighs heavily as he reminisced about the past. 

During those times he and the girl, the reason why he never made things official was because on the day of the girl's graduation day. He planned to surprise her and instead of making her his girlfriend, he planned to make her his wife. But everything was ruined by his greedy brother. 

Once he found out that his brother had done such a thing. His brother was stripe from all rights to the company and privilege. Jayden's parents were so upset about what happened. They knew their son was seeing the girl and never even dare brother and intervened. For they saw a change in their son and thought that the girl was indeed right for him. But who would have expected that their own blood would ruin their son's happiness over power and wealth? 

Since then, his parents have worked hard in order to mend the wounds between his son and the girl. They have secretly contacted Lord Knightley and explained the matter. But who were they to ask a favor from the man? They were trash to them especially their son broke the heart of his precious daughter whom he loved and pampered for years. 

Jayden Stanford pulled his phone and opened the gallery, there the photo of him and the girl during the beach pictorial flashed in front of him. He smiled bitterly as he gazed softly at the photo. 

"I planned to make her my wife..." He muttered to himself as he gazed on the photo and slowly closed his eyes and imagined back on that memory. How he wished he could turn back time and make sure that night never happened. Maybe all of this is just a nightmare now...
