The Innocent Wife of Scheming President
Chapter 540: Who broke the news to you

"Dave, calm down and stop fighting." Xenia tried to persuade Dave one more time.

But it was clearly a faint sound in the ear of a man who had lost his mind.

Olive pulled Xenia aside to keep Xenia away from the center of the field. "Xenia, don't worry, as things between men are better left to the men themselves.”

Olive told Xenia not to worry, but even Olive was slightly uneasy when she saw Dave becoming like this, as she always felt like something bad was going to happen.

After Alan briefly learned what had happened, he took a few steps forward, and he was within an arm's reach of Dave. "I overrated you when I said you were rich in limbs and simple in mind. I now realize that you are an idiot, as you've been taken advantage of, but you're still being rude.”

"Yeah, I'm an idiot, and that's why I used to believe your bullshit." Dave laughed at himself, reached out, and attacked Alan. "But Alan, has it ever occurred to you that even if you can shade the sky with one hand, the truth will come to light sooner or later?”

"I should like to know who broke the news to you.”

"What's the matter? Do you want to pay someone to keep his mouth shut? It's too late.”

Dave's fist almost hit Alan in the face, and Alan wasn't like Ivy, who put up with Dave during the fight, so Alan didn't try to avoid Dave.

Since Dave thought fists could solve problems, they're going to fight first. Anyway, a man didn't listen to anyone when he lost his mind.

It was a dead heat between Alan and Dave, but with Ivy to help, things would have been different. So Alan gave Ivy a wink.

The tacit understanding between men made Ivy understand Alan's meaning. Together, they pushed Dave into a corner, unable to attack.

"Dave, you don't have to believe me, but I think you know what Ivy is like after he being your friend for so many years.”

"Dave, I'm disappointed with you." Ivy said with a complicated look in his eyes.

"You're disappointed with me? It's me who's fucking disappointed with you." Dave snapped at him. As a man blinded by hatred, he didn't listen to anyone, and all he did was attacking.

Alan was also angry. "Dave, if you want to know the truth, well, I'll tell you.”

"Alan, don't say it." Ivy cried out to stop Alan.

"Tell me." Dave commanded Alan. "I knew you were keeping something from me. Alan, I know I can't beat you when it comes to playing tricks, but I'm going to hear what you have to quibble.” "Quibble?” Alan sneered. "I don't need to quibble, but I fear you will be sorry when you hear what I say."

"My biggest fucking regret is being friends with you, an old fox." he said.

"It's too early for you to come to that conclusion.”

"Stop your fucking nonsense here and say what you have to say.”

"If you have a vendetta, do you have to avenge it?"

"If a person has a vendetta but does not take revenge, then this person is not a gentleman, and I'm not that generous.”

Alan suddenly grabbed Dave's shirtfront. "Dave, I'm telling you that out of the three of us, the one who had the most reason to get revenge was not you but Ivy."

Dave was slightly stunned. "What do you mean?"

Ivy replied before Alan. "What he said doesn't make any sense. Dave, as your dear brother, if you believe me, let it go today, and we won't quarrel with you about anything.”

"You?" Dave seemed to have heard a funny joke, and he broke free from his restraints. "I am the one who will quarrel with you now. Alan, if you have the guts, you just tell me.”

"Are you sure you want to hear it?" Alan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Why shouldn't I listen? Lest you say I haven't given you a chance to explain.” Dave was like forcing them to say it.

"Well, listen carefully then...”

Alan was about to speak, but Ivy cut him off again. "Alan, you promised to keep this secret for me for the rest of your life."

Replied Alan. "It's not that I can't keep the secret, but it's that someone wants to use this secret to cause trouble. If you really have no hard feelings about it, even if Dave knows the truth, you should trust that there will be no barriers between you and Dave."

Dave was no doubt intrigued by what they said. "Don't speak in riddles and say what you have to say. What annoys me most is that you like to beat around the bush.”

Alan's words shook Ivy's persistence. lvy seemed a little hesitant, and after he sighed softly, he acquiesced.

"Dave, listen up. Today, I will say it only once, and if you don't believe me, you can check the original file at the police station in Jiangcheng. Ivy's father, Karl Davis, had the evidence against your father, Zhou Wannian and Finn Meyer, as they colluded with each other, and your father was afraid of being exposed, so when no one was watching, he killed Karl and pushed Karl out of the window, making it look like that Karl committed suicide by jumping off a building. Your father thought that he could share the Hoyle Group, but he didn't realize that he was just a pawn used by others in the end, so when your father lost the value of use, he was kicked away, while your father even acted as a scapegoat and lost his life in vain, as a dead man never tells a secret.”

Dave clearly had a hard time digest the harsh truth as Alan slowly uttered it, so Dave shouted. "That's impossible, and I don't believe it. You must be trying to deceive me again.”

"You want to defend your dead father, and we can all understand that, but the truth of the matter is more complicated than you think. We're not telling you because Ivy thinks the old generation's feuds should end with them in the grave. He was afraid that you would feel guilty, and he didn't want your brotherhood to be affected by the old generation's feuds, so he asked me to keep it under the table. Dave, friends are easy to find, while confidants are hard to find, so if you don't value Ivy and you listen to the person who was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between you and Ivy, then you have a real pig's brain.” Alan was afraid that Dave was trying to split hairs.

"Why should I believe what you say, but not what others say?" Dave was confused because he didn't know who was telling the truth and who wasn't.

Perhaps, in his heart, he had a faint discernment, but the news was so sudden that he was shocked, and he didn't want to believe this news, so he resisted it.

"Believe it or not, but if you hadn't gone mad today, this secret would have rotted in the ground forever. If my guess is correct, the person, who is deliberately trying to delude you, seems to be wanting to drive a wedge between the three of us, but his ultimate goal should be to target me. If you're willing to be used, I won't stand in your way."

In Alan's mind, he had a guess. The person who was hiding behind them and plotting against them should know all about them, but he didn't know if this person was in league with Susan and William. Dave kept his eye on Ivy. "Is it true what he said?"

Ivy sighed softly, as he nodded. "Dave, it's true, but...”
