Chapter 41

    Chapter 41


    Victoria remained silent. On the other hand, udia’s heart was pounding.


    She pretended to be calm but wasn’t sure if her words could intimidate


    Victoria. udia didn’t know much about Victoria, except that she had a


    very high opinion of herself. So, udia decided to take a gamble and


    approach the situation from that angle. When Victoria didn’t respond,


    udia’s hands started to sweat under the table. She forced a smile and


    asked, “What, you don’t agree?”


    Victoria looked at her lightly and said, “You seem nervous. Why is that?”


    “No, I’m not nervous. I just…”


    udia almost revealed her true feelings but quickly stopped and


    continued, “Fine. Take your time to think about it.”


    Just as Victoria mentioned earlier, udia really wanted Victoria to make


    a quick decision. However, Victoria fell into deep thought. Truth was,

    whether she signed the agreement or not didn’t matter much to her. Even


    if she didn’t sign it, everything in the agreement, except for the first


    condition of going abroad and not returning for five years, was something


    she wanted to do. As for the first condition, she hadn’t decided where she


    would settle down yet, but it would definitely be far away from ric.

    “What do you think?” Although udia had asked Victoria to take her time,


    udia had been waiting for a while and couldn’t help but ask.


    Victoria didn’t know if udia was being deliberate, but she couldn’t help


    saying, “I thought you were not nervous. Why are you in such a hurry? Is


    there something wrong with the agreement?”


    udia was speechless. She tried her best to maintain a smile before


    Victoria signed the agreement. “Okay, then take your time to check it out.


    Indeed, I’ve been rushing you. Sorry.”


    Victoria nced at her and calmed down. She then asked, “Okay, as long


    11:08 Mon, 19 Jun


    Chapter 41 I Don’t Owe You Anymore


    as we follow the conditions in the agreement, we’ll be even?”


    udia nodded immediately and said, “Yes.”


    “Okay,” Victoria said.


    When udia heard this, she handed her a pen and said, “Then, sign it.”


    Victoria stared at the pen for a moment before taking it. But instead of


    signing with it, she yed with it in her hand. She spun the pen in various


    patterns. Seeing that, udia was getting more and more anxious until


    Victoria finally smiled and said, “I won’t sign this agreement.”


    At that moment, udia’s eyes widened. “What do you mean? You won’t


    sign it?”


    Victoria put down the pen with a snap on the table and leaned back


    calmly. “No, I won’t sign this kind of private agreement.”

    sign such an ambiguous agreement. Did she owe udia a favor? Yes,


    but that did not mean she would need to sell herself out just to repay it.


    udia was visibly upset. “Victoria, what’s your deal? Are you trying to


    y me?”


    “No,” Victoria replied seriously as she shook her head. “Although I won’t sign


    the agreement, I will still fulfill all the requirements you mentioned.”


    She paused and continued slowly, “If you didn’t make this agreement to


    trick me, then it shouldn’t matter whether I sign it or not.”


    udia restrained her anger, but her smile was anything but pleasant.


    “Victoria, are you overthinking things? How could I possibly trick you? If I


    wanted to, I wouldn’t have helped you in the first ce. Don’t


    misunderstand me, okay?”


    Victoria smiled and asked, “Is that so? Then, what are you afraid of?”

    udia didn’t understand what she meant. “Afraid of what?”


    “You’re his savior, right? You mustck confidence in yourself to ask me to


    sign this agreement.”


    Hearing this caused a trace of viciousness to sh across udia’s face.


    When she heard Victoria mention the matter, she felt wretched and afraid


    that those fragmented memories of Victoria’s would suddenly return.


    udia wasn’t sure if it was because she was suppressing her anger, but


    her usually beautiful features were twisted. “If you didn’t insist on keeping


    this child, would I need to prepare this agreement?”


    After saying that, she quickly regained her gentle demeanor and said to


    Victoria, “Just trust me. I won’t trick you.”


    Victoria didn’t expect to see such a quick change in attitude. She hadn’t


    seen it before, and she couldn’t help but marvel at udia’s ability to turn


    on a dime. Thinking of this, she curled her lips and said, “Then, please trust

    me too. Even if I don’t sign this agreement, I will still do everything you


    mentioned.”


    “You!” udia didn’t expect her to be so sure she wouldn’t sign. “If you


    don’t sign, how do I know you won’t change your mind?”


    “Even if I do sign, how do you know I won’t change my mind? If I really want


    to do something, do you think the small amount of penalty on the contract


    will stop me?”


    udia stared at her. “What exactly do you want? You don’t want to


    terminate the pregnancy, and I agreed. Can’t you just sign the agreement


    to ease my mind?”


    Victoria furrowed her brow. “Miss Johnson, I hope you understand one


    thing. What happens to the child is up to me, not you. To put it bluntly,


    ric and I are legally married, and others don’t have the right to interfere.


    As for you…”

    udia’s face turned pale. “What do you want?”


    “I don’t want anything. It’s just a matter of goodwill. I will fulfill all the


    requirements you mentioned,” said Victoria tly.


    “That’s not good enough. I don’t trust you. How do I know you won’t change


    your mindter on?”


    “Well, then there’s nothing I can do.” Victoria shrugged, looking indifferent.


    “If you can’t trust me, then you shouldn’t have helped me in the first ce


    or asked me for any favors, right?”


    After hearing this, udia finally calmed down a bit. She initially thought


    that Victoria was easy to deceive. All she had to do was present Victoria


    with impossible conditions, and after Victoria refused, udia would


    produce the agreement. When that time came, Victoria would sign her


    name when her guard was down. Who knew that Victoria would be so


    vignt?! I really miscalcted things.

    udia gritted her teeth as she looked at Victoria. “Are you sure you can


    keep your promise?”


    Victoria smiled. “It’s a simple matter. If I can’t keep my promise, I wouldn’t


    havee out today. And if I’ve already made up my mind, why would I


    waste time sitting here with you?”


    “Okay, that’s what you said.”


    There was no other way. Victoria refused to sign the agreement, and


    udia couldn’t force her to sign it. Her main task was to keep Victoria


    from speaking nonsense in front of ric anyway. That conversation just


    now should be useful to prevent that.


    She stretched out a hand toward Victoria, restored her smile, and said, “I


    hope you will always keep your promise. Let’s have a pleasant


    cooperation.”


    Victoria stared at her hand but didn’t move. She just said calmly, “From
