Chapter 15
Chapter 15 When Was She Released?
“Christian, I’ming in…”
Be, who was on crutches, stood at the door with her hand still at the doorknob, keeping the door
open. It was evident she was anxious, so eager to prove something that she had forgotten her
manners.

Uponing to himself, Christian frowned. “What are you doing here? Don’t you have a rehab session
today?”
It was clear that Be had seen Victoria as the former was taken aback for a second. Following that,
Be shifted her gaze back onto Christian to find his cor wide open and his lips stained with blood.
Even an idiot could tell what just happened between the two; what more when she wasn’t one and had
evene prepared?
At that, she frowned and asked intentionally, “When was she released, Christian? Why are you with
her?”
“Huh…” Christian snorted, not answering her but instead fixing his dress shirt, retorting with his eyelids
drooped, “Haven’t you already found out? Scarlett told you, didn’t she? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have
come all the way here thiste at night.”
“I… Be’s eyes turned red-rimmed, arousing pity. “I came because I learned that she’s in Delta Club. I
didn’t know you two would…” She had a hard time continuing her words. She chewed on her lips,
looking somewhat nervous. “Christian, she’s Victoria! Have you forgotten how she wanted to kill me?!”
Victoria couldn’t help frowning upon hearing so, and she fixed her clothes in silence before standing up
and limping out.
“Please make way.” She spoke softly, standing behind the two.
Be looked up at her in response, distressed. “Do you hate me this much, Victoria? Have you not
done enough damage to me two years ago? Why would you still show yourself to us aftering out
of prison? Just what do you want to do-
“I’m the one who asked her toe to Delta,” interjected Christian with a quirked brow when he saw
Victoria’s countenance shift barely visibly.
“Christian?” Be was rendered stumped, having some difficulty epting what Christian had just said.
“Why?”
“You and your brother like to question my reasoning whenever I hire someone. What? Are the
Thatchers supposed to report the people we hire to you two?” He sneered at Be. novelxo fast

Meanwhile, Victoria looked up at Be, sizing her up. This was their first meeting in two years. Apart
from the crutches in Be’s arm, she was no different from two years ago, still looking like a frail
princess. She, on the other hand, was miserable as hell. At that, she snorted self-deprecatingly, looking
at Be with a crystal-clear gaze. “Just who is the victim. Be? When are you going to finally tell the
truth?”
“What?” Blood drained from Be’s face as she bit her lip, then argued aggrievedly. “Why are you still
trying to deny what you’ve done when it has alreadye to this? Just what happened for you to so
ruthlessly want me dead?!”
Victoria couldn’t be bothered to argue who was the unapologetic one with her. No matter how the
argument went down, it couldn’t change the fact that she lost a leg and was put behind bars for two
years. Who would even believe her?
After straightening her cleaner uniform, she shrugged nonchntly and said, “Two years have passed,
and I don’t want to argue who’s right or wrong with you. I still have work to do, so if you two will excuse
me.”
With that, she bypassed the two and left the room.
Meanwhile, iprehensible emotions flowed beneath Christian’s eyes as he looked at Victoria’s
retreating figure.
Not a single detail on the man’s face went unnoticed by Be, and a sense of uneasiness arose within
her. At that, she wrapped her arm around his and tried her best to look as defenseless as possible.
“Christian, you have to believe me. I just felt worried after finding out she hade to Delta after being
released from prison. I don’t mean anything else; I’m here because I’m scared that the person who
harmed you in the past has suddenly shown up again…”
Christian frowned in response. “What are you afraid of?”
She looked up at him with a distressed look. “I’m afraid that she’ll put on her disguise again to trick you
and
my brother. If I hadn’t discovered that she was lying to you while seducing Lucas, she wouldn’t have
gotten furious out of humiliation and wanted to run over me. But now, she’s out and has even
reappeared in front of you two. Lucas… Well, he got bewitched and wanted to break up with Scarlett
because of Victoria. I’m genuinely worried that it’ll happen again.”
“You’re saying Lucas wanted to break up with Scarlett because of Victoria?” Christian narrowed his
eyes, looking grim.
