Chapter 93
The people who were secretly stealing nces were now tantly staring at Christian.
He smiled, nced lightly at Nancy, and said, “Do you think I’m the one responsible for dying Be’s
marriage?”
“Of course!” She held her waist with one hand, raised her head slightly, and retorted without hesitation,
“If it weren’t because of how much she liked you and how she insisted on marrying you, I would’ve
arranged another marriage for her, and she’d be married by now.”
The onlookers wanted tough when they heard this. Instead, they sighed discreetly at how a
renowned family like the Spritz Family could raise such a daughter who spoke and did things without
thinking about the consequences.
“If that’s the case, then I apologize.” Christian bowed slightly and continued, “You don’t have to neglect
Be like this. You should go ahead and set up an arranged marriage for her. I wouldn’t stop you.”
Nancy did not expect to hear this from him at all and was stunned for a while. Then, she pointed at him
with a trembling finger for a long time, her face flushed with anger, and she couldn’t even speak as her
chest heaved with fury.
“Mom, what are you doing here?” Be pushed her wheelchair next to Nancy. Be’s eyes were still
red. She always had a gentle temperament, giving her a sense of sophisticated beauty.
Lucas stood behind her wheelchair, frowning with angry eyes. Nevertheless, he merely shot an irate
re at Christian, clenched his fists, and didn’t speak up or add fuel to the fire.
“I’m seeking justice for you!” Nancy rambled on about how Christian had wronged Be before lividly
ending her sentence, “He doesn’t like you. Call off the engagement. Come. I’ll definitely find you a
better man. I’ll make him regret this!”
With that, she pushed Lucas aside and wheeled Be away.
Unfortunately, she held onto the wheels with both her hands, offsetting her mother’s strength. Thus, the
wheelchair didn’t budge. She sighed helplessly as she looked up at her mother. “Mom, that’s enough.”
“Enough? Are you upset with me?” Nancy released the wheelchair and pointed at herself in disbelief.
She was filled with grievance and anger. “Who am I doing this for?”
Be immediately had an embarrassed look on her face and exined softly, “Mom, don’t be angry. I
just think that Mrs. Thatcher organized this birthday party for Victoria, and it has nothing to do with
Christian.”
Christian was standing at the side, looking down at the wine ss in his hand as though he was a
simple audience instead of one of the main ‘stars’ of this debacle.
“You’re not even married into the family, yet you’re siding with him already?!” When Nancy heard what
her daughter had said, she was furious. Her voice turned shrill, and she was so infuriated that it ended
in a highly piercing note.
Finally, she turned her head to look at Lucas, gripping his arm tightly as she pointed at Be before
muttering hotly, “Luke, look at your sister! Aren’t I doing this all for her?!”
“Mom, please stop.” He nced at the crowd, awkward and annoyed. Then, he whispered sharply, “Did
you forget the aftermath of what you did when you couldn’t control your mouth back with Mr. Thatcher?
Christian and Victoria aren’t—”
Regrettably, what he said only made Nancy blow up further as she shoved him away and interrupted
him with a shriek, “I see, the two of you have grown. You can think for yourself now and wouldn’t listen
to me. Is that it?! Fine, I’ll leave. I’ll leave right now!”
After she yelled that, she didn’t spare the two siblings another nce and stomped away as a group of
onlookers watched in barely concealed glee.
Lucas frowned but only took two steps to chase after her before he halted in his tracks and returned to
Be.
Be watched Nancy’s figure disappear at the door and sighed softly; there were hints of
disappointment and despair on Be’s face.
Then, she called the waiter, took a ss of red wine, and turned her wheelchair to face Christian. She
bit her bottom lip lightly before saying, “My mother has been spoiled by her family since she was a
child. She is too simple-minded and does things based on her mood. She meant no harm with what
she said just now. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
“Mrs. Spritz is right.” Christian sat on the chair and looked at Be. “You’re not young anymore. You
should get married. Our family will never stop you. I’ll send a generous gift when you get married.”
She scrunched her nose at his kind words, and a vicious gleam shed across her eyes.
Lucas walked to the two and looked down at Christian in contempt, mixed with jealousy and righteous
fury. “You caused Be her right leg and made her wait for you for two years. So now that Victoria is out
of prison, you’ll call off the wedding with Be?!”
“Luke, you’re misreading the situation. Christian only said that because of what Mom said.” Be raised
her ss to Christian. “I apologize on behalf of my mother.”
After she toasted him, she drank it gracefully and ced the empty ss on the table.
“Your mom is lucky to have a daughter like you.” Christian raised his ss but only took a sip before
saying perfunctorily, “I still have something I need to do. Please excuse me.”
This made Lucas unhappy, and he wanted to chase after him to say something but was tugged to a
stop by Be.
She shook her head at him. “Luke, if you really love me, don’t cause a scene with Christian. Everything
I do is done at my own will.”
“I don’t understand what you see in Christian that you’d do anything to marry him.” Lucas downed two
sses of wine and sat on the chair, looking at her in frustration. “You know fully well that you have no
ce in his heart. So how can a brilliant girl like you not understand this?”
Yet, Be just smiled and answered bitterly, “What about you? Why are you still betting all you have on
Victoria when you know she doesn’t like you?”
“I hope you won’t regret this in the future.” His eyes dimmed at her remark, and he finally replied after a
long silence, but despite that, he couldn’t hide theplicated expression on his face.
“I won’t.” She lowered her gaze as hershes fluttered a few times when she considered her situation.
“Besides, what’s the use of regretting?”
She raised her gaze and nced at him with a slight smile. “Just like you, even if you’re filled with
remorse and regret, you still can’t forget Victoria, can you?”
Lucas froze, and his eyes were filled with shock and guilt.
He wanted to defend himself, but Be was one step ahead of him. “Mrs. Thatcher really did a good job
of helping Victoria. The secretary of the new municipal party that you want to meetnovelxo fast
update is here. Let’s go.”
Christian had always felt that the Spritzs were a challenging family to deal with. They were like flies;
once they swarmed around him, it was hard for him to get rid of them. Still, they were particrly
annoying tonight. Kevin came over just as he managed to pry the three of them away, thest person
he wanted to see.
“I just heard from the hotel manager that you told them to look for Victoria?” Kevin’s voice was warm,
yet his question was anything but that.

Christian lightly hummed and teased. “I’ve always wondered how Be knows where I am or what I’m
doing. It turns out that it’s a gic trait.”
“I’m not that great. I just heard it by chance.” Kevin waved his hand and took a sip of champagne. “I
have no other intention. I just came over to say that I have a few acquaintances in the police
department. Do you need me to ask them to help you find out where they went?”
“Thank you, Mr. Spritz, but if I want to know where Victoria is, I can just give her a call. There’s no need
for that,” Christian answered.
