Chapter 50
Victoria’s body froze as she followed the everyone else’s gaze, watching as Christian walked out of the
crowd. The sunlight shone on him and cast shadow on his corbone, which made him even more
attractive. She subconsciously gazed at his crotch and couldn’t tell how his injury was, but as she took
a closer look, she noticed that the way he walked was unnatural.
“Have you seen enough? Hmm?” He walked up to her and leaned in before whispering in her ear.
Hearing that, she slowly turned her gaze away and whispered back, “I’m sorry…”
The crowd couldn’t hear what they were saying and started discussing among themselves when they
saw how intimate Christian and Victoria were from how they whispered in each other’s ears. Rumor
had it that both of them were on bad terms, but their interaction proved otherwise! Seeing that, Be bit
her lip and clenched her fists while sitting in her wheelchair.
“What do you mean, Christian?” Nancy, who was surprised by his reply, snapped, “Victoria almost killed
Be in the car crash, so how could you invite her to the birthday party?”
On the other hand, Glen started at Christian while being deep in thought.
“Mrs. Spritz, I believe that it’s none of your business who my mother invites to her birthday party. Don’t
you think that you’re being nosy?” Christian smirked.
“Please don’t misunderstand. That’s not my intention.” Nancy didn’t dare to lecture Christian although
she was older than him. “I just think that…”
“It’s fine if that’s not your intention,” he interrupted her coldly and turned around before walking away.
After taking a few steps, he paused and looked over at Victoria as he frowned. “Aren’t youing
along?”
“I’ll be taking my leave, then,” said Victoria while looking down. Just as she was about to leave, she
tugged her gown while scanning the room before saying sarcastically, “Just so you know, Mrs. Thatcher
prepared this dress for me, and I didn’t get it by sleeping with someone. Miss Spritz, please get your
facts right before you say anything. Had it been someone else in my position, you would have been
sued for defamation.”
The atmosphere was awkward, and Be’s parents were embarrassed when they heard what Victoria
said.
“I’m sorry for causing the misunderstanding.” Be ced both her hands on her knees and apologized
earnestly. “I hope that you won’t take it to heart. I was just worried that you’d go down the wrong path.”
“People would say that I’m being ungrateful if I said that I was offended by your words.” After ncing
over at the displeased Glen, Victoria left and chased after Christian as she was worried that he was
getting impatient.
Be’s eyes flickered as she stared at Christian and Victoria’s leaving figures. “You should avoid
Victoria next time. She might do something bad to you while we aren’t around,” Kevin said sternly.
“Dad, you’ve said this so many times that I can memorize every word of it.” She sighed.
“You can memorize every word, but you don’t do as you’re told.” Nancy poked her forehead before
telling Glen and Denise, “Glen, Denise, shouldn’t you be keeping an eye on your daughter? I’m sorry
for being rude, but if that murderer tries to hurt my daughter again, I will sue her and let her spend the
rest of her life in prison! I will also stop all coborations with yourpany!” Nancy eximed.
“It is our fault for not raising her well, and we apologize for the trouble that she has caused you.
However, I’m sure you’re aware that our family has severed ties with her, so we are not in the position
to tell her off. We seek your understanding on this,” Glen apologized.
Before Nancy could say anything, Kevin responded, “Alright, it’s not their fault. Glen, the owner of the
new raw materialpany I mentioned earlier is here. Let’s go and greet him.”
Hearing that, Glen nodded. “Luke,e join us,” Kevin suggested. After the three men left, Denise
came up with a reason and left as well.
“Be, what’s wrong with Christian? How could he invite Victoria over when she almost killed you?”
Nancy asked with a grim expression when she saw that there was no one around.
“I’m not sure, but Mrs. Thatcher has always liked her more than me. I think she’s the one who invited
Victoria over,” Be said with a smile.
“It doesn’t matter who invited her over, but it obviously seemed like Christian had her back. Don’t tell
me that he has feelings for her!” Nancy furrowed her brows.
“You’re overthinking it, Mom,” Be replied softly, but she was unsure about it too.
Nancy then squatted down and looked her in the eye. “I might be right. If he doesn’t have feelings for
her, why hasn’t he proposed to you in thest two years?” Be’s gaze darkened as she bit her lip
when she heard what Nancy said.
“Be, you might think that I’m only nagging, but let me tell you this—men are all greedy. You have to
keep a close eye on him so that he doesn’t get snatched away by the vixen, yet you’re still trying to be
friends with her!” Nancy nagged.
“Christian isn’t someone like that. He’s different from Dad.” Be regretted the moment she said that.
“Mom—” she called out.
“Since your friends are here, you should go hang out with them. I’ll go look for a few of our rtives.”
The embarrassed Nancy got up and left.novelxo fast update

After her mother left, Be rubbed the space in between her brows and sighed.
Meanwhile, on the spiral stairs, Victoria was hesitant to speak as she followed behind Christian. She
wanted to thank him for his help but was worried that he would mock her about it. She also wanted to
ask him about his injury, but she didn’t dare do so.
“Why are you still following me?” he asked nonchntly, pausing his footsteps.
Luckily, Victoria was able to stop in time and didn’t collide with him. Being close to him made her feel
ufortable, so she took a step back before uttering, “Earlier on… thank you.”
“Do you think that I’m helping you out? He chuckled before lifting her chin with his finger to make her
look at him. “I didn’t want you to ruin my mother’s birthday party.”
Both of them stood so close to each other that all she could see was him. She lowered her gaze as she
tried to suppress her emotions. “It doesn’t matter what your intention was, but I should thank you for
getting me out of that sticky situation.”
“If I knew that my actions would’ve gotten you out of the situation, I should have kept quiet.” Compared
to the passionate Victoria two years ago, she seemed cold and exhausted now, and it made him feel
ufortable. He frowned as he let go of her chin.
Just then, Evelyn was heard asking, “Is this a bad time for me to be here?
