Chapter 252: Chapter 253

Chapter 253 I Wish You a Long and Prosperous Life

Peyton had no intention of telling anyone about this matter. But Kevin had been helping her all along,

even making plans for her future, so Peyton decided to lay everything out

Kevin was somewhat surprised after hearing this. “So that person was the one who orchestrated all of

this, making Mr. Dalton choose between you and Helena?”

“Yes. Kevin, the blueprint you described really captivated me, but the only thing I can’t let go of is this

matter. She harmed the Schmitt family. She put my life in danger and ruined my father’s reputation. But

in the end, I don’t even know who she is. How can I willingly leave?”

Peyton’s hands clenched tightly involuntarily. “She had planned for so long and finally made a big

move, sacrificing so many people. It pains me deeply whenever I think about it. I don’t know what I did

wrong to offend someone like this.”

Kevin said lightly, “Maybe it wasn’t you who was wrong, but that mentally disturbed person?”

Peyton looked at him with confusion and asked, “Kevin, what did you just say?”

“It’s nothing, what I mean is that you are so kind, how could you possibly do anything wrong. Even if

there is a mistake, it’s someone else’s fault. There are naturally bad people in this world.”

Peyton shook his head helplessly. “There’s no one like you.”

“I didn’t say it wrong. My Peyton is the kindest girl in the world.

Nolan doesn’t appreciate you, it’s his loss.”

Kevin’s voice was clear. “Peyton, since you said that before jumping into the sea, Nolan will definitely

continue to investigate. He will surely find out more than you. Don’t worry. The truth will be revealed. I

just want to buy some time with him. While he is only focused on salvage, let’s plan to leave Aelford

City early. Otherwise, when he comes to his senses, we won’t be able to leave.”

Peyton hesitated but gradually made up her mind. She stared at Kevin earnestly and said, “Kevin, can I

trust you?”

Kevin held her hand. Kevin’s palm was not smooth. There were many calluses on Kevin’s hand, but his

hand was clean and warm.

He stared directly into Peyton’s eyes without flinching. “In this world, even if everyone wants to hurt

you, my desire to protect your heart has never wavered.”

“Why? We are not related at all. And now I have nothing to give you either.”

Kevin chuckled and winked at her. “What do I have to gain? I just want Peyton to live a long and

prosperous life.”

A scene flashed through Peyton’s mind, something she had long forgotten.

Kevin’s parents divorced when he was very young. His father was completely absorbed in his business

and had many women around him, neglecting to discipline Kevin.

”

That Christmas Eve, every household was happy, and Peyton found Kevin all alone.

Peyton led him to the Schmitt’s house and together they made wishes under the Christmas tree, telling

him to write down his own wish.

Kevin said he didn’t know what to write.

Peyton wrote down this sentence.

“May you live a long life and have a smooth journey throughout your

entire life.”

The little boy’s face gradually merged with the face of the Christmas tree and Kevin in front of him.

Kevin’s pure gaze was the only solace Peyton found in the darkness.

She nodded. “Kevin, I understand. My father’s illness can no longer be delayed. I’m not in a hurry for

revenge, because as long as I’m alive, there will be opportunities. Could you please arrange for us, I

want to leave Aelford City.”

Kevin tightly held her hand. “Okay.”
