    Chapter 32


    It was then that Victoria owed udia a favor.


    79%?


    Also, Victoria discovered just how crucial udia’s call was when she was


    out asking others for help.


    At that time, the Selwyns lost all their properties except for that house.

    When they started to get back on their feet, Victoria intended to sell the


    house to gather funds for her father to restart his business. However, Tony


    declined her suggestion and instructed her sternly, “You can deal with the


    house however you want. Since I could start my business from scratch


    back then, I can do it again now. You should mortgage the house to those


    people and use the money to treat udia to a meal. Then, see if there’s


    anything you can help her with so that you can return the favor as soon as


    possible.”

    Tony stroked her head and smiled warmly.

    “Even if I lose everything, I can’t let my snowball bow down before her love


    rival. So, don’t worry. I will get back on my feet. As a matter of fact, I have


    contacted one of my friends. He will help us if I ask him for help.”


    No, you’re lying.


    Victoria overheard his call and knew the other party refused to help them.


    The friend Tony was talking about had received a lot of help from Tony


    before. Yet, he refused to aid Tony at such a critical moment. What an


    ungrateful b*stard.


    Tony had lied to her so that she wouldn’t worry about him. Also, he didn’t


    want his daughter to owe udia any more than she had now.


    After being silent for a while, she raised her head, revealing a pitiful look on


    her face as she spoke in a low and weak tone, “Dad, how about


    Mr. Cadogan…”

    As soon as she said that, he immediately turned grim. “We can’t! Let’s not


    mention the fact that Adrian still doesn’t know about this because even if

    he does, he will definitely help us without me asking him for help. But


    Snowball, have you ever thought about what you would do after we


    ept his help? The daughter I raised is the best young woman in the


    world, and I don’t want to see her bowing her head before anyone. Don’t

    worry. Even if I don’t have any money, I will still find a way. It would just take


    a little more time, so you have to wait for me, alright?”


    That night, Victoria returned to her room and cried so hard that her eyes


    were swollen.


    After that, she didn’t mortgage the house but sold it. Then, she transferred


    the money into Tony’s bank ount.


    When she came out of the bank, she took out her phone and stood in her


    spot while looking at the photo of her and ric.


    Chapter 32 When Is Returning a Favor Easy?


    Perhaps my feelings for ric aren’t as strong as I thought. I need this


    money. It turns out that, in reality, nothing can beat hardships.


    Victoria and Summer stayed together for two hours before parting.


    During her trip back home, Victoria silently counted the days she still had


    before getting divorced. When I visited Grandma a while ago, she was


    doing very well. The doctors estimate she will be able to go through


    surgery in about a month. Once she had surgery and recuperated for


    some time, ric and I could finally end this marriage, and he could fulfill


    his promise to udia. udia is gentler and kinder than me, and she


    will have a great future together and won’t need me to worry about


    anything.


    “Mrs. Cadogan.”

    The driver looked at Victoria through the rearview mirror and noticed she


    seemed a little out of it, so he reminded her, “When are you going to visit


    Old Mrs. Cadogan today?”

    Hearing that, she was stunned and woke up from her daze.


    Noticing she looked a little lost, the driver reminded her again, “Today is


    Sunday.”


    When Victoria heard that, she returned to her senses and muttered, “Is it


    Sunday already?”


    Time has passed so quickly.


    Since both of them were busy with work, Griselda only allowed them to


    visit her on Sundays and would get angry at them if they visited her on


    any other day.

    Sundays. Since ric had gotten so drunk yesterday and went home with


    udia, perhaps they are now…

    The driver asked, “Do you need me to call Mr. Cadogan?”


    Victoria subconsciously answered, “No need. He’s busy.”


    He didn’t reply, so she continued, “I’ll head over on my own.”


    In the end, he could only nod and drive away.


    Having been working for the Cadogans for a long time, he had noticed


    something wrong with the atmosphere at home and heard some rumors


    shared around the household. Now that he saw how Victoria was


    behaving, he felt heartbroken for her.

    When Victoria arrived, one of the nursing staff greeted her with a smile


    and informed her, “Mrs. Cadogan, you’ve arrived. Old Mrs. Cadogan was


    just telling us about you. My colleague and I suggested bringing her out for


    a walk downstairs, but she refused, saying that she wanted to wait for you


    in her room so that you wouldn’t have to wait for her.”


    Hearing that, Victoria couldn’t hold back her chuckle. “Actually, I’m fine


    waiting for a while.”


    The nursing staff replied, “It’s mostly because you onlye visit her once


    a week, so she cherishes the time she spends with you and thinks that the


    more time she can spend with you, the better.”


    Victoria was surprised to hear that and was stunned for a moment before

    “From how I see it, she’s doing fine. Her emotion has been calm with no


    ups and downs.”


    Then, Victoria asked, “How about her eating habits and rest?”


    “I think they’re the same as always.”


    “Thank you.” Victoria nodded. “But I still have to trouble you to help me


    cross–check her recent sleeping and eating habits.”


    The nursing staff nodded and promised, “Sure, no problem. I’ll take a look.”


    “Thank you.”


    After thanking the nursing staff again, Victoria turned around and headed


    to Griselda’s room.


    Meanwhile, with the help of her personal caretaker, Griselda had returned


    to her room and was now resting on the bed, waiting for her

    granddaughter–inw and grandson toe and visit her.


    Though she had grown old and showed signs of old age, she hadn’t lost


    her elegance and calmness. Her gray hair was tied behind her head, and


    she wore a cotton dress that looked delicate and warm.


    The moment she heard footstepsing from outside, Griselda showed


    a joyous and excited expression that didn’t fit her age.


    “It’s about time, so Victoria and ric must being to see me.”


    Just as she finished talking, a familiar and slim figure appeared at her


    door.


    “Victoria,” she called out happily. “You came.”


    Victoria then sprinted over and stopped before Griselda.


    “Grandma. Good to see you.”

    “Good to see you, too.”


    Feeling extremely happy, Griselda quickly held Victoria’s hand.

    However, the smile on her face immediately disappeared after touching


    Victoria’s hand and was reced with surprise and concern. “Why is your


    hand so cold? Are you feeling cold?”


    Before Victoria could reply, Griselda started nagging, “You’re skinny and


    can’t handle the cold. How can you wear so little in this weather? Where’s


    ric? Is this how he takes care of you?”


    At the mention of ric, she finally realized something.


    “Speaking of which, where is he?”
