Chapter 212 - 212 Other Reasons212 Other Reasons
“For whatever reason. I helped you out of my own free will. There’s no reason for it.”
Zhou Xuan said calmly, “At that time, I only did what I should do as a man.”
“What if Victor did shoot you then? Have you thought about the consequences?”
Zhou Xuan’s cold eyes paused for a moment. “I haven’t thought of the consequences, but I bet he won’t shoot.”

“Since Young Master Zhou has said so.” A smile appeared on Shan Yue’s face. “Then I can only say that helping you is what I should do.”
Perhaps Zhou Xuan would never have dreamed that the reason was because of one of his actions.
Before he could continue, Shan Yue turned around and opened the door. Her side profile was revealed under a few strands of long hair, and her exquisite and beautiful face appeared in Zhou Xuan’s eyes. Her red lips curled up slightly. “If you really want to thank me, thank yourself.”
With that, Shan Yue decisively closed the door. If it were any other woman, she would never bear to reject Zhou Xuan like this.
Meanwhile, out of sight of everyone, Victor and his assistant were hiding in a darkened room.
“What were you doing?” Victor’s eyes were clearly filled with anger. He frowned. “How many times have I said that you have to keep an eye on them? How did it become like this?”
“Young Master, I really don’t know.” The assistant’s tone revealed grievance. “I did follow your instructions and have already sent people to monitor it 24 hours a day. I really didn’t find anything unusual.”
Victor covered his face with his hands, unable to hide his despair. “Then how on earth did they get here before I did? What’s more serious is that one of the people turned out to be Carter’s people. Carter knows Father’s temper best. How exactly did the two sides get in touch?”
The assistant thought for two seconds before his eyes flashed and he suddenly said, “Young Master, when we retrieved the listening device, we realized that the listening device in Miss Shan’s room was wrapped with two layers of paper.”
“You mean…” Victor’s eyes narrowed into a line, and his thin lips parted slightly.” That woman has long discovered that we installed a listening device in her room, but she didn’t expose us.”
“That’s what I mean, Young Master.”

I didn’t expect the most inconspicuous woman to become the most important person.” Victor’s eyes gradually turned from cold to calm. “It’s too late to know this now. After the video spread, my father was already disappointed in me. The position of the patriarch must be Carter’s.”
“No, Young Master. We haven’t failed yet.” The assistant’s lips curled into a sly smile, and he deliberately raised his eyebrows. “We still have a chance before Master announces the final heir.”
Victor heard an unusual meaning in his assistant’s words. His eyes were thoughtful. “You’re implying something. Just say it.”
“Although you failed in the competition and lost your reputation, if there’s only one person left between you and Second Young Master, there’s no way Master can not pass the position to you.”
Victor instantly understood what his assistant meant. He frowned tightly. “This definitely won’t do. Even if it fails, it won’t be enough to kill Carter. If Father finds out it’s me, I’ll wish I were dead.”
“Young Master, you have no choice now.” The assistant’s words pressed on step by step, his eyes filled with ferocity. “Do you want to be stepped on by Second Young Master for the rest of your life and listen to his orders? This is your last hope. Once Master announces his successor, you won’t have a chance to make a comeback.”
Victor was disintegrated step by step by his assistant’s words. In the end, his heart loosened.
“So what should we do?” Victor asked tentatively, unconsciously flustered. “If this fails, we’re all screwed.”
