Chapter 71


    ric?! Why is he here? Victoria almost shrieked.


    I thought he was working. Why is he in the study room? I didn’t even hear


    him here. Did… Did I mention the child? Did ric hear it when he came in?


    As Victoria thought about it, her face went pale. She looked at ric


    nervously but could only purse her lips, trying to remain calm.


    On the other hand, ric didn’t expect her presence as well. When he saw


    her bewildered expression, he frowned and recalled that she had been


    acting strange for the past few days, seemingly as if she was hiding


    something from him. Thinking about it, ric pursed his lips and squinted


    his eyes. His sharp gazended on Victoria’s pale face as he spoke. “Who


    were you talking to just now?”


    Hearing his words, Victoria was startled.


    Does this mean he hasn’t heard what I said? she thought. However, she

    didn’t dare jump to the conclusion since she feared it was a trap. What if


    ric has heard it and is just testing me?

    As she thought about it, she suppressed her emotions and mumbled,


    “What are you doing here? I thought you were at work.”


    She brushed off his question.


    “It’s a video conference. I don’t have to go to work.”


    “I see.” Victoria nodded. “I was using your study room since I thought you


    were at work. Yasmin is still unsure about certain things, so I was talking to


    her.” She tried her best to stay calm and acted like nothing had happened.


    ric stared at her and didn’t say anything. He was looking at her with his


    deep dark eyes that seemed to be able to see through her.


    “You seem nervous.”


    Chapter 71 I’m Going to Kill Him


    Hearing his words, Victoria was at a loss for words.

    ric walked toward her and stood close to her. They were extremely


    close to each other, and his scent surrounded her. In that split second,


    Victoria subconsciously took a step back. However, as soon as she made


    a move, she felt a pair of hands wrapped around her waist. With little


    force, Victoria bumped against ric’s chest.


    3/9


    “I guess I was right. You are nervous,” ric said casually. He held her waist


    tighter and squinted his eyes.


    “Who were you talking to?”


    He was asking the same question.


    Victoria didn’t know whether he had heard her words or not since she


    thought she was alone and was talking normally. If ric could hear her


    voice, it would mean that he might have heard what she was talking


    about. Yet, she didn’t know which situation it was. Thus, she could only


    remain calm and avoid blowing up her cover.


    “Didn’t I tell you already? I was working and talking with Yasmin,” she


    replied as she raised her head and looked at him.


    “Is that so?” ric didn’t believe her. He clicked his tongue and said, “Do


    you think you are a good liar, Snowball?”


    Victoria’s heart dropped. “I’m not lying.” Then, she gritted her teeth and


    barked, “Don’t ask if you don’t trust me, ric!” As she spoke, she swatted


    his hands away.


    ric’s expression turned cold when he saw her reaction. He looked at her


    with a darkened gaze and said, “Are you mad because I guess it right?


    Fine then. Since you didn’t lie to me, do you dare to show me your call


    history?”


    “Call history?” Victoria was speechless by his words. “How old do you think


    Chapter 71 I’m Going to Kill Him


    you are? Don’t you think looking at my call history is childish?”


    Then, ric grabbed her chin and demanded coldly, “Are you trying to


    order me around?”


    “Don’t be ridiculous. I don’t have that spare time, nor am I willing to order


    you around. You can do whatever you want.” Victoria shrugged.


    “Show me your call history, then.” ric stretched his hand and looked at


    her with a stoic expression.


    “Are you nuts, ric?”


    “I thought you said I can do whatever I want.”


    “I mean to say that you can do whatever you want to yourself, not me.


    Care to listen more attentively next time?”


    “What’s wrong? Aren’t you having a call with Yasmin just now? Can’t you

    Chapter 71 I’m Going to Kill Him


    show me the evidence? Does that mean you were talking to someone


    else?”


    Victoria fell silent.


    “Is it Noel?” asked ric.


    6/9


    At that moment, Victoria knew why he was testing her and being


    entric. So that’s how it is. He only heard my voice but didn’t know what I


    was talking about. That is why he mistook me for talking to Noel instead of


    Yasmin when he saw my panicked expression. Yet, Noel… This is the third


    time ric has gone mad because of him.


    As she thought about it, she went silent. At the same time, she was at


    ease. After all, it wouldn’t matter if he had mistaken her for talking to


    someone else.


    Seeing that she remained silent, ric was on the verge of going berserk.


    “Why aren’t you saying anything?!”


    Chapter 71 I’m Going to Kill Him


    Silence means consent. Does that mean she is talking to Noel just now?


    Although he had not heard clearly what she was talking about, he could


    tell that her voice was soft. She has never spoken to me so gently.


    Moreover, he could vaguely hear her saying something about a baby and


    getting rest after lunch. Thus, as hebined the words, he realized that


    Victoria had called Noel her baby. Moreover, she was telling him to get


    some rest and eat well!


    He was infuriated as he thought about the woman who was married to


    him calling someone else their pet name. What was more frustrating was


    that Victoria seemed calm. She even shrugged when facing his


    interrogations.


    “There’s nothing to talk about. You are right with whatever you say.”


    When ric heard her words, he recalled that she had promised that she


    was talking to Yasmin. Yet, after he had seen through her lies, she decided


    to go with the flow.

    At that moment, ric grabbed her chin tightly. He used so much force


    that Victoria frowned from the pain.


    This time, when ric talked to her, he didn’t use her nickname. Instead,


    he called out her full name with a cold voice.


    “Listen here closely, Victoria Selwyn. If you dare to hook up with another


    man before our divorce, I will kill him.”

    Initially, Victoria didn’t want to acknowledge him. However, she was baffled


    that he would say such a thing. “When did I ever hook up with someone


    else? Also, what makes you have the right to say that? Even if I were to


    hook up with someone else, what’s that got to do with you? Do you think


    you and udia have a pure friendship?”


    If they were to argue about this matter, Victoria felt that she could make a

    together. However, what about you and udia? She hase looking


    for you. Do you dare to say that you have nothing with her?”


    “She came to me because she knew the truth.” ric frowned.


    “What truth? The truth of our fake marriage? Since she can find you after


    knowing we are a fake married couple, why can’t Noel do the same thing?


    ric, don’t tell me that you allow udia toe looking for you and


    even wear my clothes while I can’t even have a phone call with a man.”
