Chapter 58
Chapter 58
“For Chris to treat his employees like that means he’s a good boss.” Be’s eyes shed as she
pushed the wheelchair to the table. “No wonder so many people like to work with you, Chris.”
There was a considerable distance between the wheelchair and the teapot. Her hand shook after she
picked it up with great difficulty, which resulted in the hot tea being spilled on Victoria’s legs.
“Hissss!” As the work clothes were thin, the hot liquid had almost burned Victoria’s body. She gasped in
pain and beads of cold sweat broke out on her forehead almost instantaneously.
Her entire thigh was drenched, which meant that the contents of the teapot would have been poured on
her. Be really knows how to make it an ident, huh.
Christian frowned slightly. His body had already left his seat, but when he saw that all of the tea had
landed on Victoria’s body, he returned to his seat. He ced his hands on the table with clear irritability.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t hold the teapot firmly.” Be hurriedly ced the teapot on the table as guilt danced
in her reddish eyes. “Does it hurt? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for this to happen. If I had known, I’d rather
be thirsty than—”
“Looks like you don’t have to work for a few days,” he interrupted with a cool voice and addressed
Victoria.
“T-Thank you, Mr. Thatcher,” Victoria softly apologized before she suppressed the pain with all her
might and nced at the table. “M-May I h-have a cup?”
He moved across the table with a little more speed and responded coolly, “Sure.”
“Are you thirsty? Let me help you.” Be flushed with embarrassment as she diligently grabbed the
teapot.
Victoria grabbed a cup and resisted the urge to swing it at Be. “I’m not.”
“You’re not? Then, why are you asking for the cup?” Be ced the teacup on the table again and
added with worry, “The water was extremely hot, so I think you should be hurrying to the hospital.”
When Victoria heard Be’s pretentious concern, she smashed the cup on the floor and took a broken
piece to cut her clothes. After that, she grabbed both ends of the material and tore it open.

Tear!
Once the clothes were torn, it revealed Victoria’s red thigh with dozens of blisters growing on it. The
blisters had criss-crossed with the scars on her thigh, which gave it a scary view.
If she didn’t tear her clothes now, the blisters would stick to the material, after which she would suffer in
agony.
Christian’s gaze paused on those blisters and scars, which caused his fingers to stop tapping on the
table. For some reason, his hands started to tremble slightly.
“I’ll pay for the teapot,” Victoria noted as she wiped the beads of cold sweat dripping down from her
forehead and headed out of the office with difficulty.
Her right leg had been injured before, but now that she was scalded by the hot tea, it would make her
walking even more impaired.
Her emaciated figure was reflected in his eyes. His brows, which were slightly frowned, had loosened,
but his eyes darkened even more.
“You’re already injured, so going to the hospital will be inconvenient. Let me ask Chris to get someone
to send you.” Be hurriedly pushed her wheelchair to stop Victoria by grabbing her arm.
The more sincere she felt, the more disgust Victoria felt. “You don’t have to be like this…”
Her gaze then fell on Christian as she swallowed the word ‘fake’ in her throat. “I don’t want to bother
you, Miss Spritz. I’ll call for a cab myself.”
“There’s no trouble. It was my fault to start with. I should be asking someone to send you to the
hospital. Please don’t be polite with me. I injured you, so if you reject me, I’ll feel even more guilt.” Be
took out her phone on the pretext of calling someone.
Christian saw everything and lowered his eyes as it shed darkly.
Pat!
At this moment, Charlotte had pushed the door open and noticed Victoria’s hideous thighs. She then
covered her red lips in surprise. “What happened?”
“Not—” Victoria wanted to say that it was nothing, but when she saw that Be was already on the
phone, she liked her dry lips and replied, “I’ve been scalded, so I’m heading to the hospital. Would you
be able to get someone to drive me to the hospital, Miss Charlotte?”
“Let’s go. I’ll get someone now.” Charlotte nced at Be as she slightly raised her eye before she
supported Veronica to leave the office.
Be stared at the door in a daze for a while before she pushed the wheelchair to close the door.
She bit her lips and softly spoke, “Judging from Miss Charlotte’s gaze earlier, did she misinterpret
something?”
“Isn’t it true?” Christian rose to his feet and ced one hand in the pocket of his pants with a half-smile.
Sarcasm was also reflected in his gaze.
“It is true that I scalded Victoria.” She lowered her eyes with a guilty expression, but she still felt
aggrieved. “It’s inconvenient for me to sit in a wheelchair and pour myself tea, though. S-She should be
able to understand.”
He snorted and ced his fingers on the table before he repeatedly tapped it. “If I remember correctly,
it’s been months since youst came to Delta Club.”
A confused Be then asked, “Huh? Why are you mentioning this all of a sudden, Chris?”
“Why have you been so diligent in thest two months?” Christian stopped his movement and sat down
before he enunciated the next words clearly. “Not to mention, you’d always arrive not too long after me.
It can’t be a coincidence, right?”
She blinked and feigned innocence. “If you didn’t say it, I wouldn’t have realized it. But it is a
coincidence.”
“It may be a coincidence if it’s once or twice. Since it’s a regr urrence, it’s incidental.” He stood
up and ced his hands on the table again as he stared at Be. “Be, don’t try me.”
The air in the office seemed to have dipped by a few degrees.
“Chris, what are you implying? I don’t seem to understand your words.” Be’s eyes shed as she
gently asked.
Christian lowered his head to smoothen his slightly wrinkled suit. His hair shone in the sun, which made
it look shiny. “You are a smart person, so don’t make me say it loud and clear. Once you have passed
the threshold, it’s not a good thing for you.”
“Are you saying I’m following you or asking someone to track you?” Be sighed in resignation. “I just
wanted to talk to you about Lucas’ engagement next month. I heard that you are here, so I figured that I
shoulde over. It’s not asplicated as you think it is.”
He sat down again as he coldly regarded her in the silence.
When their gaze met, there was a surge of emotions.
“I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, Chris, I can’t do anything either.” She spread out her
hands as her brows and eyes reflected her frustration.
His lips twitched, but there was no smile as he said, “I don’t like women who lie to me. Furthermore”—
He raised his eyes to give her a cold nce—”the Thatcher Family nevercks a suitable marriage
partner.”
“My legs were injured because of you two years ago, though, Chris. If the Thatcher Family changes
your marriage partner, the news won’t be well-received. If some people decide to make use of the
media to blow the matter out of proportion, the share of the Thatcher Group would be affected too.” Her
lips had a shallow arc to it.
He snorted and ced his fingers on the table before he repeatedly tapped it. “If I remember correctly,
it’s been months since youst came to Delta Club.”
