Back at E's Corporation.

Yan Chu and Valerie were still in a state of shock from the conversation between Mo Xi and Donovan.

Valerie popped a question immediately when she snapped back to reality.

"How did Donovan know about your habit?"

Mo Xi sighed, "Do you remember that you said that he wasn't always part of Poker?"

"Mm. How does that have anything to do with what I asked?"

"That period of time, when he was outside, he delivered milk and newspaper to my house."

Valerie's eyes went wide open when she heard Mo Xi's words, "He was observing you?!"

"Kind of? I guess?"

"But he doesn't even know that he is part of Poker until much later, so why would he observe you?"

Valerie questioned, but without Mo Xi even answering, she already knew what the answer was.

"He fell in love with you!"

"… Mm…"

Vincent's ears were wide open when he listened to Mo Xi, and Valerie talked.

Mo Xi could tell that Vincent was listening, so she glanced at him, and Vincent immediately looked away.

"I didn't hear anything!"

Mo Xi laughed, "Mo Chen knew about this already."

Vincent sighed a breath of relief because he was happy that he hadn't found out things that he wasn't supposed to hear.

Meanwhile, Tyler nodded his head subtly.

"So, this means that he kept the fact that he knew you from everyone in Poker!" Valerie then said in astonishment.

"Mm."

Valerie clapped her hands together as she had guessed correctly.

Valerie then placed her right hand under her chin and rubbed it as though she had a beard while she grinned.

"I didn't know Donovan has such a cute side to him. In order to protect the person he loves, he rather not let anyone know that he knew you than to put you in danger! He didn't even tell them anything about your past or who you are to anyone in Poker! You should have been with him!"

Mo Xi looked at Valerie, getting all excited for a moment, "You do know that I am married with kids now right. For your information, if I like him, I wouldn't have been avoiding him all these while."

"Sorry. Please continue," Valerie laughed awkwardly.

"He would be helping us."

Although Donovan didn't say that he would be helping them, Mo Xi could see that he would. Her 'death' scarred him deeply, and he would never let it happen again now that she was back safely.

Donovan wanted to take over Jing Corporation because he wanted to punish Jing Mo Chen for not protecting Mo Xi well. Donovan knew that he was responsible for Mo Xi's death because he was part of Poker. However, he was angry that Jing Mo Chen couldn't even protect his own wife. That was the reason and the motivation for him to work hard in bringing Jing Corporation down.

However, now that Mo Xi was back, Donovan wouldn't let the history repeat itself. He would do whatever it takes to protect Mo Xi, including going against his own family.

"Are you sure?"

"Mm. The kind brother in the past is back. I couldn't protect him in the past, and I couldn't get him out of that h.e.l.l last time, but this time, I won't let Zhou Dong hurt him again. This is the only time I will let myself get involved in his affairs. It wouldn't be right for me to do more things for him because I have Mo Chen."

Mo Xi said with determination.

"Honestly, I am not that surprised to hear that he wants to help us. From what he had done to keep you safe from Poker, it is very likely of him to turn against Poker, especially after almost losing you completely."

"That's why I can't let Zhou Dong hurt him anymore. Does the dungeon in Zhou Dong's house have CCTV?"

Valerie looked at Mo Xi, and she raised her eyebrow suspiciously before giving Mo Xi the 'I know what you are going to do' look.

"Yeap. I will go get the CCTV footage of what happened over all these years as soon as possible."

"Be careful not to alert our enemies. I will let you and Xue Yue take care of everything regarding Donovan from now on. I have to keep my distance from him, especially after I saw the look in his eyes."

"I know. Don't worry. I will tell Xue Yue about this matter as well, so you don't have to be worried about any of these issues."

Mo Xi nodded and smiled, "Mm. Thank you."

"Wait, so you knew Donovan when you two were younger?" Yan Chu asked to confirm.

"Mm."

"Then, why did he become this way?"

Yan Chu was shocked that Mo Xi knew Donovan when he was such a 'bad' person. He knew that Mo Xi would never bed friends with people that do bad things, and if they were on the edge of becoming evil, she would have helped change the person to become good again. Hence, he couldn't understand how Donovan became part of Poker or why he did all those things.

"After he was brought back to his family, I supposed that he was consistently punished and forced to become the person he is today. That is also why I need Valerie to get the CCTV. I need to know what happened to him over the years that we lost contact."

"Wait. So, there could be a chance that you and Donovan would end up together if wasn't brought back to his family?"

Vincent and Tyler became alert once again, and they looked at Mo Xi while they wait for her answer.

"That's not possible. Be it in the past, now or in the future, I only saw him as a friend. If I hadn't met Mo Chen, I would never have gotten married. You could ask him. He has been around me for the longest except for Alexander and the others," Mo Xi said while she pointed to Yan Chu.
