When I Die, I Will Still Protect You
Chapter 2
I floated over and saw that he was frowning. He called and said, "What do you mean that she is missing? Why don't you go find her?"
After hanging up the phone, he was anxious.
In the face of Scarlett, who had followed him backstage, he said indifferently, "Get out."
She asked, "Are you coming to our wedding house tonight... or to her place?"
He tightened his grip on his cell phone as he didn't answer. Then he made another call and said, "Get someone to check the surveillance cameras around this hotel. She should be..."
He sneered and said, "She should come to peek at my wedding."
As he spoke, he looked at Scarlett and asked, "Why are you still here?"
Tears welled up in her eyes. Scarlett said, "Do you care so much about her? Since you do, why don't you marry me instead? I have no value to you anymore."
Gavin said, "She doesn't deserve it."
His voice was full of disgust. After that, he turned around and went out to stand in the middle of the avenue. He tidied up his wrinkled suit as if he were waiting for someone.
An idea suddenly popped up in my mind.
He seemed to be waiting for me.
Then, another idea popped up in my mind.
But he would fail.
Before it was dark, an old man appeared and dragged Gavin into a car.
I floated outside the car window and followed him to a villa.
It was his and Scarlett's wedding room.
On the first day of their marriage, their wedding night...
He didn't sleep in the same room as her. He sat alone in the living room and kept calling Jack.
Jack said he didn't find her.
Gavin, who had been anxious, looked angry and gloomy. In the end, he sneered and said, "Yesterday, she said that she would never run away for the rest of her life. Is this how she keeps her words? Liar! She is born as a liar. Her whole family are all liars!"
After that, he smashed his cell phone and turned to leave.
After a while, he came back, took out a sim card from the broken phone, and stuffed it into a new cell phone. Then he turned it on and called Jack. Flying into a rage, he said, "Go all out and find her no matter what."
A gust of wind blew past. I was transparent, but his roar made me tremble.
The heavy rain, a broken vase, the blood all over Gavin's hands, and the tears rolling down his face flashed through my mind.
Then, a thought flashed across my mind.
"It's the beginning of Gavin's painful life."
The next day, he was no longer in a rage.
He ate calmly with Scarlett and drove to see the old man after the meal.
I floated next to them and listened to their conversation. I then figured out the whole story.
Gavin's father had a car accident when he was in primary school. The operation failed, and he died. His mother committed suicide when he graduated from high school.
This old man was Scarlett's grandfather, who had single-handedly helped Gavin reach his current position.
The old man looked sharp, saying, "If you can't find her, give up. Live a good life with Scarlett."
Gavin held his cell phone without saying a word.
Scarlett tried to smooth things over and held Gavin's arm, saying, "Okay."
On the way back, Gavin remained silent.
"You haven't found her yet. She shouldn't be in this city anymore," she said. "You've taken revenge on her for so many years. It's time to let her go. Don't bring her back again."
Gavin's eyes suddenly turned red. He looked at her and said, "It's not enough. My parents died because of her! She ruined my family! Vivian Young should live miserably rather than die!"
He mentioned Vivian Young.
I repeated the name many times and vaguely felt that it was familiar.
