The private room fell into dead silence. Those who were jeering and
watching a good show earlier kept their mouths shut. A sense of coldness
seemed to permeate the air.
ric sat there and red at ine with a gloomy and ruthless gaze. The
woman no longer dared to be haughty as she hunched her back. When
she was met with ric’s gaze earlier, she felt like the man was ready to
kill her. She could only hide behind udia in fear.
udia could barely keep the smile on her face as she took a look at the
woman behind her. Left with no choice, she pleaded with ric. “Please
don’t be mad at her, Al. ine is straightforward, but she means no harm.
ine, apologize to Victoria now.”
ine was displeased. She would rather go to hell than apologize to
Victoria. However, when she recalled ric’s terrifying gaze, she turned to
look at Victoria and said through clenched teeth, “I’m sorry.”

“ine didn’t mean to offend you, Victoria. Will you please forgive her?”
Victoria sat there calmly without responding to her.
On the other hand, a relentless ric curled his lips and sneered. “Do you
think an apology is enough? What were you trying to do?”
Hearing that, ine was astounded. “N-Nothing.”
“You were trying toy a hand on her, weren’t you?”
“No, I just ”
“Al,” udia called out anxiously. I’ve pleaded with Al, but why isn’t he
willing to forgive ine?
Hearing that, ric turned to look at udia as his emotions were slightly
stirred.

The woman’s eyes were red. It was as though she was about to break into
tears.
She had sacrificed herself to save his life before. After the incident, he
swore that he would protect her for the rest of her life. Since she had
pleaded with him, he was supposed to forgive her friend.
However, all he thought about was a certain someone at that moment. He
saw nothing else, but Victoria’s determined and distant gaze.
Despite being humiliated in front of so many people, she didn’t seem to
have been affected one bit. It was as though all of this had nothing to do
with her.
Nevertheless, ric remembered that wherever the woman felt wronged
in the past, she would clench his shirt and look pitifully at him while
sobbing, hoping for him to stand up for her.
All of a sudden, he recalled what Victoria said to him that night. She asked

him what everyone would think of her if they found out their marriage was
a sham.
Apart from her colleagues, even these friends started despising Victoria
upon finding out the truth. udia’s friend even wanted toy a hand on
her.
If today’s incident never happened, ric would never have understood
how Victoria felt when she said those words that day.
Initially, he thought that Victoria wasn’t happy about always being
regarded as just his wife despite working hard to prove her worth.
It wasn’t until that moment that he realized what was on her mind when
she said those words that night.

Upon that realization, ric felt his emotions undting in his heart.
He pressed his lips into a thin line and rejected udia’s plea for the very
first time. “I don’t mind forgiving her, but she can never appear in front of
me again.”
Upon hearing that, everyone understood that the man was ordering ine
to get out of the private room.

She had been haughty because she believed that udia was important

settle the score with ine. Much to her surprise, her assumption was

“Help me, udia,” ine pleaded in a small voice while tightening her
grip on the woman’s clothes.
udia fell into a dilemma. She wanted to help ine because she was
eager to prove to everyone that she was important to ric. However, the
man was determined and didn’t even spare her a nce.
Norwood, who had remained silent all along, couldn’t take it anymore.
“Stop trying to beg for his mercy, udia. Don’t you see he’s furious?”
Hearing that, udia came to her senses and nced at ric. The man
had hung his head low as his long eyshes concealed most of the
emotions behind his gaze. Despite that, he was still evidently vexed.
He’s mad. udia understood that if she still tried to ask ric to forgive
ine, he would see her in a bad light. No one can stop me from winning
ric’s heart. Not even ine.
At the thought of this, udia pushed ine’s hand away and said gently,

It never crossed ine’s mind that udia would readily give up on her.
She wanted to growl and curse, but she couldn’t afford to offend anyone
at the scene except for Victoria.
Victoria! She red at the woman resentfully before leaving the ce in
embarrassment.
After she was gone, the private room fell silent. All of them looked
embarrassed. Those who urged ric and udia to drink together
earlier sobered up in an instant and wouldn’t dare to drink again.
They were dumbfounded. It was said that ric and Victoria’s marriage
was a sham and that udia was indispensable to ric.

Much to their surprise, it seemed that udia had lost her special ce in
the man’s heart. They couldn’t help but think many things could change as
time passed.
After ine was gone, udia sported a dark expression. She could no

couch and said, “Sorry, I need to use the restroom.”
She then left the private room. Seeing that, her friends followed her in
silence.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room turned awkward.
Some of them were unaffected, including Bane. After udia was gone,
he suddenly stood up with his ss of juice and sat down beside Victoria.
“Here you go.”
