    On that day, ric finished his breakfast while looking displeased.


    The maids couldn’t see his face because he had his back toward them.

    interactions.

    In the following days, Victoria didn’t have to enter thepany as she


    requested annual leave. She took the time to apany Griselda every

    Sometimes, when she was left alone, she would caress her belly.

    To be frank, her mentality had undergone changes.


    When Victoria first found out that she was pregnant, she was still quite


    confused about what to do with the child, but as time passed, she


    gradually felt connected to the child in her belly as if they shared the


    same body and heart. Thus, her love for the child grew.


    Many times, she would even tell the baby secrets that she couldn’t tell


    others.


    This further brought Victoria closer to her child.


    At first, things were going as expected.


    Victoria thought she could apany Griselda peacefully until the day of


    her operation, but as soon as her annual leave was used up and she was


    about to return to thepany for work, udia called her once again

    and asked to meet her.


    Since the previous incident, she had been hesitant to meet udia


    because she knew what thetter was up to.


    At that thought, she rejected udia without hesitation.

    “Miss Johnson, I understand why you’d like to see me, but I’ve made my


    decision. I’m not going to change my mind no matter what, so we don’t


    need to meet again.”


    Perhaps she had spoken too bluntly as udia went silent for a second


    before asking, “Are you sure nothing can change your mind?”


    “Yes.”


    “Victoria.” udia’s voice suddenly softened. “I remember that you owe


    me a favor, don’t you?”

    Victoria’s gaze instantly turned cold in response.


    udia continued, “What if I ask you to do me a favor now? Will you still


    reject me?”


    Victoria bit her lower lip hard, hershes trembling.


    “You don’t need to answer me in a hurry. Perhaps, we can meet up first.”

    After hanging up the phone, Victoria stood on the spot as her mind went

    It was not that she didn’t think about repaying udia her favor, but she


    intended to do it in another way.

    As long as she needed help, Victoria was even willing to sacrifice her life


    for her. However, she never thought udia would use that as a condition


    during this time.

    At a quiet cafe on Rodeo Street, Victoria noticed the ‘closed‘ sign in front of


    the door of the cafe as she was about to enter.


    Just then, her phone rang.


    “Victoria, push the door ande in. My friend owns this cafe. They aren’t


    open for business yet.”


    Victoria hung up the phone nkly before pushing open the door.


    As soon as she entered, she noticed udia waiting for her in the corner.


    udia waved at her to indicate her seat.


    Victoria walked over with steady steps and stopped in front of udia.


    There was a man with a scar sitting next to udia. The man looked

    in a gentle voice.

    “Hello, beautiful. You must be udia’s friend. Would you like to have a


    drink?”


    The man looked at Victoria with a hint of surprise in his eyes.


    Without much thought, Victoria replied, “No, thanks.”


    The man was taken aback by her refusal, but udia chimed in, “Carlo,


    give her a cup of warm milk.”


    Carlo Jabba nodded neatly. “Sure. I’ll get it and leave you guys to do the


    talking.”


    Before leaving, Carlo couldn’t help taking another nce at Victoria.


    udia caught all his subtle actions, and once he left, she smiled at

    Victoria. “Come over and take a seat.”


    Victoria nced at her and took the seat opposite her.

    udia judged her outfit as she uttered softly, “Carlo is a friend I met


    abroad. He’s an open–minded and honest guy. After returning to the


    country, he opened this cafe. Even though he isn’t very ambitious, he


    earns enough to get by. He’s into serious rtionships and treats his


    girlfriend gently.”


    She then paused for a while before saying tentatively, “If you have


    nowhere to go after divorcing Al, you can consider him.”


    Victoria was speechless as she heard that.


    She suddenly raised her head and blurted, “Miss Johnson, even though I


    owe you a favor, did I give you the right to decide for my marriage?”

    udia was stunned by her response before she chuckled. “Of course not.


    Chapter 39 udia’s True Colors


    Don’t get me wrong, Victoria. I’m not trying to decide your marriage. I just


    think my friend here is a great person.”


    “Is that so? Then why don’t you consider him?” Victoria snapped.


    udia’s smile faded.


    Since when were they so close to each other?


    Her true colors were revealed as time passed.

    Frankly speaking, Victoria did not assume that udia would help her out


    sincerely. After all, they had ric stuck between them, but it was also true


    that udia once helped her out.


    After a moment of silence, udia picked up the spoon and stirred the


    coffee in front of her whilementing, “I never expected you to be so


    aggressive to your savior, Miss Selwyn.”


    Chapter 39 udia’s True Colors


    Her tone was no longer gentle, and her voice waspletely different


    now. It was crisp and clear now as she looked at Victoria with disdain.


    Despite that, her current look made Victoria feel much at ease.


    Following a chuckle, Victoria blurted, “Are you finally letting go of your act?


    Honestly, your true face is more pleasing to the eye. At least, I don’t find


    you insincere.”


    “Insincere?” udia sneered. “I just think you’re not worthy of my kindness.


    I initially thought that you would be a nicedy despite not being smart,


    but I can’t believe you’re such an ungrateful person.”


    “Ungrateful?” Victoria rubbed her fingertips and narrowed her eyes in a


    judgmental expression. “I may be an ungrateful person in your eyes, but I


    never expect that your kindness and righteousness would lead you to kill.”


    When udia heard Victoria’sst two words, her expression changed


    entirely.

    It took her a while to speak. “The child is like a time bomb. If you were in my


    shoes, there is no way you can ept it.”


    After saying that, she red at her. “Why do you want to keep the child


    when you’re going to get a divorce? You could’ve remarried and carried


    another child. So, why insist on keeping this one? Do you think I have no


    idea about what you’re thinking?“
