Chapter 109


    Chapter 109


    Be looked at Christian almost greedily with a hint of adoration in her eyes. She then said in a soft


    voice, “I don’t know what is going through Victoria’s head, but I can tell you that this is not the first time


    I have seen them together. And, like I said before, I have no need to nder my own good friend and


    brother.”


    “Ha!” Christian sneered. He could feel the irritation spread to his limbs and bones, and now every cell in


    his body was piqued. It felt so upsetting like he was being tormented physically. “Why should I believe


    your one-sided words?”


    She sighed again and scoffed bitterly. “Christian, even if I made up what I said, how are you going to


    exin what you saw earlier? Am I some kind of a witch who can control Victoria to manipte my


    brother?”


    Even though it was almost October, a month when the temperature was not high, the sweat that came


    pouring down from his forehead never ceased.


    He undid the cufflinks and rolled up his sleeves, showing his attractive forearm with some veins bulging


    out of it.


    Be had never seen him showing his emotions outright before, so she could not help but feel her heart


    shatter upon seeing him lose hisposure because of Victoria. “I wasn’t going to tell you this, but you


    are getting engaged to Victoria tomorrow. I only decided to tell you the truth after I pondered over it.”


    She let out a heavy sigh, and with a resigned look on her face, she said, “I honestly don’t want to see


    you being deceived, and neither do I want to hear anyone say my best friend is rampant, or my brother


    is the third party in your rtionship. Telling you the truth is hard for me too.”


    “Don’t tell anyone about this!” Christian’s handsome face was taut as he barked. Slightly dazed, he


    then stumbled into his car and promptly drove away.


    Be watched the car slowly disappear from sight with a bitter expression on her face.


    He had insisted that he did not like Victoria and only married to a member of the Coleman Family for


    his self-interest. However, his reactions today had already shown that he was gravitating toward


    Victoria without realizing it…


    A few hours passed by. Others might think that the time slipped by quickly, but at the moment, the few


    hours felt long and it was a downright tormenting experience for Christian.


    After he left the vi, he rushed to thepany. However, when the financial manager was giving him


    an overview of the monthly report, he could not seem to listen to a single word. The secretary also


    brought him the documents that needed to be signed. However, he had signed in the wrong ce in


    two or three of the documents, and one in which he identally signed Victoria’s name.


    Realizing that he could not get much work done in his current state, he decided to leave thepany


    again. Before he got into his car, he threw the rings he bought this afternoon into the trash bin, then


    drove out of thepany.


    However, just when he arrived at the first traffic intersection, a frown was slowly forming on his face as


    he was thinking about something. And before long, he turned his wheel and drove back to the


    company.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    By the time he returned, a cleaner of Thatcher Group was doing his work and had already properly


    packed up the garbage in the trash can by the door. And he was about to throw it into the garbage


    truck.


    Sitting in the driver’s seat, Christian tapped his slender and beautiful fingers against the steering wheel.


    His eyes were fixated on the cleaner. He got up a momentter, only to sit back down again. He had


    repeated the process several times, and when the cleaner was about to leave, only then he quickly got


    out of the car with a sullen face and stopped the cleaner.


    “Mr. Thatcher?” The cleaner stared at Christian with his dim eyes for a long minute before surprise and


    joy appeared on his wrinkly face.


    “Mm,” Christian replied. “Please wait a minute.”


    Still frowning, he held his breath and took the topmost bag of garbage from the vehicle to retrieve the


    gift box with the rings while he endured the pungent and disgusting smell.


    “Thank you.” He tied the stic bag up before throwing it back into the garbage truck, and hurried back


    to his car under the cleaner’s startled and confused stare.


    One of the stic bags probably had some leftover beverage in it, and it leaked onto the suit jacket he


    was wearing. The acrid smell of decay mixed with the sweet-sour smell of the beverage was so


    disgusting that it was enough to trigger his gag reflex.


    He took off his suit jacket and threw it onto the backseat before he opened all his car windows.


    Though the sour smell in the car had been ridden by the smell of nature in the breeze that had blown


    in, Christian’s mood had not gone any better and instead, his rage had finally boiled over.


    Bam! With full force, he struck the steering wheel with his fist. His handsome face was now spotting a


    gloomy expression that was chilling to the bone.


    In one way or another, Be definitely had nned for this to happen when she asked him to head to


    Spritz Residence. However, just like she said, she was not a witch that could control Victoria to do


    something so intimate with Lucas…


    Victoria… Victoria!


    Christian eyed the gift box in his hand coldly as he ced his hand over the window, only to retract it


    the next second. He could not find any way to relieve the sadness and anger he was feeling aside from


    hammering his chest a few times in hopes of recing the emotional pain with physical ones. He then


    gritted his teeth and threw the gift box to the back, which ended upnding on his suit jacket.


    Buzz—


    Buzz—


    His phone began to vibrate.


    He nced at the caller ID, only to frown and hang up when he saw that it was Vincent. However, his


    phone kept vibrating no matter how many times he cut the call. It repeated for nearly seven times until


    he finally picked up the call.


    “Christian Thatcher! Are you crazy?! Why didn’t you pick up my call?!” Vincent demanded impatiently, ”


    It is Tori’s birthday tomorrow. Have you prepared a present yet? Also, since the two of you are getting


    engaged tomorrow, I have gotten a team to arrange the flow for you. Come over tonight and do some


    rehearsing with Tori!”


    When he did not hear a reply after a long time, he kept calling out to Christian. “Christian! Can you hear


    me, goddammit?! Just give me a short reply if you can!”


    “I am not free tonight,” Christian answered while clutching his phone tightly. As soon as he said that, he


    hung up the phone and blocked both siblings on his phone. He then leaned into the seat with his hands


    over his face.


    He thought miserably, Victoria! I shouldn’t have gotten soft-hearted and agreed to get engaged to


    her!novelxo fast update


    In his 22 years of life, he had never once been toyed with like this.


    It was not like he loved Victoria very much. Still, the woman had already decided to get engaged to


    him, and yet she had still flirted with other men… With a glum look in his eyes, he straightened up and


    started the car.


    Christian did not have a good night’s sleep the whole night. He was still so absent-minded on the 28th


    of September that he could not concentrate on his meetings and documents.


    At 6.00PM, he wore his suit jacket and drove to Coleman Residence.


    During this time, the Coleman Family’s business was prosperous because of Victoria’s engagement to


    him.


    Though, since she gave him such a big surprisest night, he wanted to announce the cancetion of


    their engagement during her birthday banquet. And that would be his birthday present for her.


    However…


    Bang!


    While driving her sports car, Victoria had mowed Be down just outside of Coleman Residence.


    The bright red blood had stained Be’s white gown and formed a pool on the ground. That was when


    everything started to change.


    Victoria’s birthday banquet was canceled at that moment.


    Be was then sent to a hospital for an emergency rescue, and the operation was finally done after


    more than 2 hours. The doctor said that her legs could still be saved, and she would be able to walk


    again within a few years. The only thing was that she would never be able to dance again.


    Christian was there too during the emergency treatment and he had heard Be utter a few words


    while she was unconscious. “We are best friends, Victoria. Don’t hit me with your car…”


    Then, she woke up with a scream.


    Nancy’s heart ached so much that she burst into tears while she held Be in her arms. “Be, while in


    your sleep just now, you were pleading with Victoria not to run you over. What do you mean by that?”
