Chapter 1365 A Long-Planned Plot

“At that time, his eyes were profound and resolute, like a bottomless sea I couldn’t help but be lost in and addicted to. I’ve always been a soft-hearted person, so not only did I agree to his request, but I even begged my family not to tell anyone about his whereabouts. My father gave the order, and no one dared to disclose his whereabouts. Do you know for whom this smail garden was first built?”

Kisa was quietly shocked. ‘It was for David, wasn’t it? It seems the Mullen family treated him well.’

Vivian seemed to have read her mind and laughed at herself. “It was for him. But at the time, I didn’t know that his appearance in front of my car that night had actually been a long-planned plot. There’s no denying that he really is charming. He appeared simple, but often subtly flirtatious. Any woman who spends some time with him will mostly fall in love with him.

“After his injury healed, he started to subtly show affection for me. I was already in love with him, so in less than six months, I happily said yes to his proposal. He would do anything I asked, even listen to my family. My dad asked him to be his live-in son-in-law, and he readily agreed. At that time, I thought he really loved me so much so that he would say yes to anything. I loved him with all my heart and mind. On the eve of our wedding, I even transferred my shares of The Mullen Group and all my assets to him because of his sweet talk. I thought I would be the happiest bride in the world, but…”

She suddenly smiled sadly. “At the wedding, the groom never showed up. I was wearing a wedding dress, pregnant with his child, and searching frantically for him. In the end, a car accident reduced all my expectations and fantasies to ashes, leaving only cataclysmic resentment in my heart.”

Vivian was already in tears when she finished.

‘But the fact that she can talk about those unpleasant past events in such a calm voice shows that she has come out of it, hasn’t she?’ Kisa thought.

Kisa asked, “And then what happened? Where did he go? Did you investigate?” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Of course I did; all of us in the Mullen family wanted him dead, so we searched for him, but we couldn’t find him, as the trail went cold in Oceanville.”

“Oceanville?” Kisa’s heart skipped a beat. “Isn’t that where the Webb family is?” In David’s letter, she had seen him mention the Webb family of Oceanville.

Vivian let out a faint smile. “You found out about the Webb family of Oceanville too? Unfortunately, we couldn’t find him, even after we had turned the Webb family upside down. Because of this, the Mullen family had a huge row with the Webb family.”

“How did you find out about the Webb family of Oceanville?”

“Business. We found out that he was doing business with the Webb family and was last seen at the Webb residence. Only that he’s vanished without a trace since that lead.”

Kisa frowned. ‘I think I have got to go to Oceanville.’

As she was thinking, Vivian looked out the window and suddenly said to her, “Speaking of Oceanville, I do remember something.”

“What is it?” Kisa followed Vivian’s eyes and saw Adrien, who was walking toward the garden.

“During the time we were in Oceanville looking for him, there was a rapidly rising family in Oceanville who became one of the rnost powerful and influential families in just two months, and their family business developed rapidly. You have to know, that family used to be almost unknown before that.”

“Are you talking about the Tanner family?”

Vivian nodded her head.

Kisa was surprised. “And did you ever suspect that David was related to the Tanner family?”
