Victoria didn’t even have to stand in her position to understand that it was
uneptable, but she was Victoria, not udia.
She could only consider the matters from her own perspective.
“What a pity. I’m not that great of a person nor am I willing to sacrifice. The
child is in my belly, so whether or not I want to keep them is my decision.
No one else can decide the life or death of my child except me.”
“You-”
“If you want me to return the favor, sure. I am willing to do anything you
ask of me except this.”
Her child was her family. How could she let someone else decide on her
behalf whether to keep the child or to have an abortion when she was
reluctant to do that?

“Are you really going to do whatever I say?”
“Yes, as long as it isn’t anything outrageous.”
Favors must be repaid, but if her demands were too high, then she
shouldn’t even think about it.
udia started pondering about it.
In fact, before she came here, she had predicted that Victoria wouldn’t
agree to her request easily.
Who was ric? He was the heir to the Cadogan Family. Whether it was
his family background, character, or the way he presented himself, they
were all top–notch.
In udia’s eyes, no one else in the world couldpare to him.

they captured his heart?

What about Victoria? Her family went bankrupt, prompting her to hold on
to ric like a lifeline. If she had be his real wife, then she would
have been living in a rags–to–riches fantasy.
Had she been willing to give up on him, she wouldn’t have gotten
pregnant.

The child could be considered a token for Victoria to hold ric back. Thus,
udia couldn’t possibly allow that token to exist. Otherwise, it could
possibly affect whether they would get a divorce eventually.
Now that Victoria wasn’t willing to abort the child, udia had to use other
means.
Moreover, the most important thing to do now was to calm Victoria down.

spoke. “Sure. Aborting the child is indeed cruel. Even I can’t bear to do that.
In that case, let’s sign an agreement.”

“An agreement?”
As soon as the question slipped out of Victoria’s tongue, Carlo served the
cup of warm milk.
“Here’s your milk, beautiful.”
udia stopped talking before offering him a sweet smile. “Thanks, Carlo!”

front of Victoria. “Since you can’t take any other drinks for now, have some
warm milk.”
Victoria nced at her and noticed that she was wearing her facade
again.
“What? Are you afraid that I might have drugged the milk?” udia
chuckled. “Don’t worry. If I wanted to do such a nasty thing, I wouldn’t have
asked you out.”
Withdrawing her gaze, Victoria no longer wanted to continue that topic.
Instead, she changed the subject. “What were you saying about the
agreement?”
udia smiled. “Seems like you can’t bear to stay any longer with me.”
“What? Don’t you want to get it over and done with?”
“Of course, I do.”

While saying that, udia took out a paper folder and handed it to
Victoria.
“This is the agreement. Take a look.”
Victoria took it with a poker face.
Seeing her calm look, udia couldn’t help holding her breath. At this
point, Victoria didn’t even seem to have any other better idea, but she
could still appear so calm and collected. How on earth did she do that?
All of a sudden, she recalled the scene where Victoria plunged into the
river many years ago.
It was a risky act, but she jumped down without hesitation. udia, on the
other hand, panicked and was unsure of what to do.
In her dreams, darkness prated her nervous system often, showing a
clear contrast between herself and Victoria.

In front of others, udia was highly praised because she sacrificed
herself to save ric.
Behind others, however, she was just a clown under Victoria’s mask. The
harder Victoria tried to save ric, the more despicable and shameless
she appeared to be as she robbed the credit.

Outsiders all deemed her as pure, naive, and had a great personality, but
in reality…
No. Stop thinking about it. Stop thinking about it.
The past was now in the past. Everyone knew that she was ric’s savior
now, and even ric himself thought so.
The only person who knew the truth was Victoria, who had lost her
precious memory when she was diagnosed with a serious illness back
then. She would never be able to get her memories back in this lifetime.

“I have a question about this agreement.”
Victoria’s cold and distant voice sounded, pulling udia’s sanity back.
She noticed how Victoria’s face was superimposed with the younger
version of her face before they were separated.
In the past, her young face was delicate and bright, but now, Victoria
looked a little cold. Her features had grown as she aged, making her look
even more beautiful than before.
udia forced a smile.
“What problem?”
Victoria nced at her before looking down at the agreement again.
Although the agreement seemed to be ovepped, it merely revolved
around a few main points.

Firstly, she had to leave the country after the divorce and promise not to
return within five years; secondly, she was not allowed to mention the
child to ric, nor could she use the child as a token for self–pity; thirdly,

she couldn’t engage in any intimacy with ric before their divorce;stly,
udia would offer her an amount of money, and if Victoria had to raise
the child, udia was willing to undertake the obligation of supporting the
child until he or she reached adulthood.
Under udia’s gaze, Victoria tapped the table with her fingertips lightly
before asking, “Why can’t I mention the child to ric?”
Hearing that, udia widened her eyes. When she drafted the agreement,
she had done it in a rush.
Nheless, Victoria wasn’t dumb. It made sense that she would be
doubtful of the agreement, but udia insisted on using the agreement
to suppress her. Otherwise, Victoria could possibly make a slip of the
tongue by mentioning the child in front of ric while they still lived

together.
After much thought, udia decided to risk it.
Anyway, she had something on Victoria, so if thetter refused to sign the
agreement, she was going to use other means that were up her sleeves.
In order to make Victoria believe her, udia had long prepared an
answer to her question.
Looking into her eyes, udia uttered in a soft voice, “It’s all for your sake.”
Victoria looked at her judgmentally.
udia picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. With a look of disdain,
she exined, “Since you two are childhood friends, I believe that
friendship still stands between the two of you if not for love. Otherwise, he
wouldn’t have helped you, right? But he will live with me for the rest of his
life soon. Your child isn’t just going to be an obstacle for us, but he or she

will also be a threat to the two of you. He seems to really care about
it, do you understand? Most importantly…”
She paused for a moment, then continued, “I worry that if you bring up the
child too often, he might eventually ask for him or her. I’m not interested in
raising someone else’s child, Victoria.”
