Gilbert chuckled . “ Sure . I’ll be waiting . Littuane Hotel , Presidential Suite . Make sure you don’t get the wrong room . ” Halsey ended the call without another word .
Gilbert was already waiting in the Presidential Suite at the Littuane Hotel . He had been there long before Halsey called . He knew she would come .
As the only daughter of the Lincoln family , Halsey had been spoiled and cherished since childhood . Whatever she wanted , her parents were more than willing to give her . Raised like a flower in greenhouse , she was also deeply devoted and loyal . She would never abandon her parents or Lincoln Enterprise .
No one in this world gets to live solely for themselves . Everyone has their responsibilities .
Gilbert poured himself a small glass of red wine : He wasn’t in a rush to drink it . He swirled the wine gently , watching its rich color ripple inside the glass .
Soon , a soft chime rang out . It was the doorbell .
Someone had arrived . It must be Halsey .
Gilbert smiled . She had come faster than he expected .
He raised the wine glass and drank it all down in one gulp , then stood and walked to open the door .
The door swung open , and Halsey stood there , her crystal – clear eyes blazing with anger .
Gilbert smirked . “ You’re quicker than I thought . ”
Halsey shot him a glare . “ Step aside ! ”
Gilbert moved , and Halsey stepped inside without hesitation .
He raised an eyebrow in amusement and closed the door behind her .
Standing in the room , Halsey stared him down .
Gilbert grinned . “ You came right in , huh ? Don’t you worry that I might do something to you ? After all , it’s just the two of us here . That can be dangerous . ”
Halsey’s voice was steady . “ Since I agreed to come , I’m not scared . So tell me – did you mess with Lincoln Enterprise ? ”
Gilbert loved how straightforward Halsey was – no airs , no pretending . She went straight to the point .
He stepped closer and nodded . “Yeah , it was me . That worker works for me . ”
Halsey said nothing .
Gilbert went on , “ I know Lincoln Enterprise is working with a multinational company . This deal will lock up all their liquid assets , so it’s critical . Not a single mistake can happen .
“ At such an important moment , I couldn’t just stand by . So I found a worker and paid him a huge sum to fall and break his leg on purpose . Then I told him to stir up trouble , damage Lincoln Enterprise’s reputation , and make the multinational company want to cut ties . Even your father getting hurt today – that was me . ”
Gilbert confessed everything . It matched exactly what Halsey had suspected .
She wasn’t surprised , but furious . “ Our families have been close for generations . My dad practically watched you grow up ! How
you do this to us ? Don’t you have any conscience ? ”

Gilbert stepped forward and stopped right in front of her . “ I never wanted to hurt your dad or your family . You left me no choice .

“ How did I leave you no choice ? ”
“ For three years , you ignored me and treated me like I was invisible . You knew I wanted to marry you , but you refused , no matter what . So I had to find a way to make you say yes . ‘
Smack !
Halsey raised her hand and slapped Gilbert hard across the face .
