Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please!
Chapter 596 - 596 The thing called fate 4

Chapter 596: The thing called fate 4 Chapter 596: The thing called fate 4 Edward Hernandez’s words were undoubtedly like a string of firecrackers, immediately causing a commotion in Victoria Garcia’s heart.

Not curious? That seemed impossible.

“Mr. Hernandez’s phone call actually has something to do with me, which piqued my curiosity.”

Victoria looked at Edward, waiting for him to disclose what was related to her.

“Since Miss Garcia is interested, let me explain.” Edward asked slowly, “Miss Garcia, you seem to be in a bad mood today, right?”

“How can you tell?” Victoria wasn’t like Arnold Johnson, who could hide his emotions well. However, she wasn’t the type who would show her inner thoughts on her face either.

But, if Edward was really the one who hypnotized her, she probably couldn’t hide anything from him.

“Yes, I can tell. However, the phone call just now confirmed that you aren’t happy. I presume Miss Garcia is aware that Mr. Johnson is in the hospital at the moment.”

“…”

How could Edward know about something like this?

Victoria felt that it would be absolutely impossible unless he had spies on her.

Edward seemed to perceive her thoughts and explained, “Miss Garcia, don’t accuse innocent people. I knew about this only because the matter blew up. It’s the power of gossip, I didn’t have anyone tailing you. You should know better than me what kind of person Mr. Johnson is.”

Tailing Arnold wasn’t an easy task.

Victoria thought she might have been overthinking.

“I didn’t say anything, yet you’re already explaining. If I hadn’t suspected you before, I would now.” Victoria sternly said and then chuckled, “I’m just joking with you, don’t take it so seriously.”

Edward couldn’t help but clear his throat, saying, “I really was frightened by your seriousness just now. It felt like you’d discovered some bad thing I did.”

“It seems that you’ve done so many bad things you’re feeling guilty.”

“The worst thing I’ve done is fantasizing about someone else’s fiancée. Does that count?” Edward looked at her, half-serious, half-joking.

Victoria pretended not to understand and said, “You haven’t told me about the phone call yet.”

Seeing that she wasn’t responding to his joke, Edward laughed and said, “The person injured at the hospital is Chloe Johnson. It is said that she attempted suicide because of Arnold, and she hasn’t been saved yet. We’re not sure if she’ll recover.”

“If it wasn’t for Grand Lady Johnson forcing Arnold into this, the news wouldn’t have spread so fast. But she insisted that Arnold must marry Chloe, dead or alive. She said if Chloe lives, she belongs to the Johnson Family, and if she dies, she would still be considered a Johnson Family ghost. Even if she were to die, her tombstone should bear the title of Arnold’s wife.”

Apparently, Grand Lady Johnson was prepared to fight with Arnold to the end. No one knew how this drama would unfold.

While Edward was talking, he observed Victoria’s expression.

Although her face seemed expressionless, she couldn’t stop poking the rice in her bowl with chopsticks, not a single grain entering her mouth.

It was clear

her heart was agitated.

Anyone in that situation would struggle to remain calm, especially since Arnold and Victoria’s relationship seemed to be deepening.
