Chapter 115
ric had actually not known what he wanted to say to Victoria,
He merely chased after her because the stormy emotions stuck in his chest felt
overwhelming but had nowhere to go.
However, he knew for a fact that she was the cause of those emotions.
The frustration made him uneasy.

When he continued to pin her wrist against the car, she scowled. Not wanting to just
end the conversation without an answer, she asked one more time, “There’s no
difference between saying what’s on your mind now and waiting to tell me after
Grandma’s operation, right?”
If he had anything he wanted to say to her, it would undoubtedly be about what
happened between him and udia.
They seemed to have moved past udia’s fall.
He did not bother her about it, likely because the family did not want to humiliate
Griselda. However, that did not mean he did not hold a grudge against Victoria for
the fall.
Even though he did say he knew udia had fallen on her own, he did not step up to
rify the circumstances and defend Victoria.
Thus, if udia were going to target Victoria, she would only do it after Griselda’s
operation.
By then, ric and Victoria would be divorced. Victoria would have nothing to worry
about then.
Hence, she did not want to fight with him about udia right now.
She only wanted to focus on Griselda’s health.
At that thought, she tried to struggle away once more. To her surprise, he continued
to hold on tight to her wrist. The warmth radiating from his grip felt hot against her
skin.
She silently stared back at him.
Is he still not letting me go after all I’ve said?
Finally, ric spoke. “Can we sit down and properly talk after Grandma’s operation?”
“Of course,” she immediately replied.
If possible, she wanted them to part on good terms.
Her swift response seemed like she was only brushing him off, but a careful
observation of the look in her eyes did not show any of that intent.
The two of them had known each other since childhood. She would not need to lie
to him.
Thus, he slowly let go of her hand.
The force pinning her wrist against the car disappeared.
She heaved a sigh of relief. Did that mean this situation could be put on pause until
after Griselda’s operation?
As she massaged and rubbed her wrist, she asked, “Did you tell your parents before
Chapter 115 Make–or–Break Moment
following me?”
“Tell them about what?” His voice might be as cold as usual, but his face looked
more pleasant now.
“You ran after me, so we disappeared without a word. Wouldn’t they worry? What if
Grandma…”
ric’s lips twitched in a self–deprecating manner.

“Don’t worry about that. Grandma’s greatest wish is for me to get back together with
you,” he said, interrupting her.
She could muster no retort to that deration.
It was true that Griselda hoped for them to be together.
“Mom and Dad will take care of her,” he said.
“Okay.” She nodded.
Silence fell once more, filling the air with awkward tension.
Chapter 115 Make–or–Break Moment
Momentster, she suggested, “Why don’t we head back in?”
His dark eyes snapped to stare at her.
“Okay.”
He did not say a word on the way back, but she could clearly sense he had slowed
down to walk beside her. She pursed her lips as she internally sighed.
It would be so nice if Griselda were not sick.
If that were the case, Griselda would have a healthy body and not have to suffer
through an operation at her age. Victoria would not have to pretend to marry ric
then.
If not for the fake marriage, their friendship would not have turned into this.
Unfortunately, they were all past the point of no return.
ric only messaged udia after Griselda’s affairs were settled. He did not answer

her call and only messaged her that Griselda would be operated on soon.

udia had thought he was avoiding her. Thus, even with Christopher avenging her,
she was still unhappy since ric was not by her side.
His message made her heart leap with joy once more.
She would not be upset if he refused to answer her call only because of Griselda.
She cautiously called him once more.
This time, he answered her call.
“Al,” she called out.
There was a note of exhaustion in his voice as he replied, “Rest well in the hospital.
I’ll visit you when I have the time.”
“I know you’re busy. It’s okay if you don’t have the time to visit me,” she replied in a
voice as gentle as a breeze. “My head wound is nothingpared to Grandma’s
illness. You should focus on that first.”

ric had been worried that she would feel neglected due to his absence, so he had
felt relieved when he heard that.
“Okay.”
“Oh, right. Al, is Grandma’s operation happening in the next few days?”
After a moment of silence, he replied, “Within the week.”
Within the week…
She could not resist smirking when she heard that.
“Okay. Tell Grandma that I pray for her operation to go well.”
“Thanks.”
Her smile vanished as soon as she hung up. Her fingers clenched around her
phone.
Hopefully, things would go smoothly without a hitch this time.

Still, if Griselda were undergoing an operation within the week, Christopher’s actions
against Victoria during this time would affect Griselda’s health.
That would not do.
No matter what, Griselda’s operation had to be a sess.
The longer the wait for the operation, the longer it would take for ric to divorce
Victoria.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
It seemed like they would have to wait before attacking Victoria.
Still, Christopher would be too foolish to wait that long. From the menacing look in
his eyes, he would probably make a move in the next two days.
At that thought, she immediately turned to ine and asked, “Do you have
Christopher’s number?”
ine had been peeling an orange for her when she heard that. Her head snapped
up in shock.
“Why do you want his number?” she asked.
Chapter 115 Make–or–Break Moment
“Do you have it?” udia asked once more.
“No, but why do you want to contact him? Are you…” ine was honestly worried
that after being neglected by ric, she would be depressed enough to throw her
lot in with Christopher instead.
It was impossible for udia to not hear the implicit question. She scowled.
“What nonsense is that? Just give me his phone number,” she barked out.
ine had no choice but to tell udia his number to be saved on her phone.
ine bit her lips and nced at udia. In the end, she could not resist speaking
up once more.
“Why do you want to contact him, udia? I’m not trying to mother you,
but…”
“It’s fine. It’s nothing important anyway. I’m just worried he might do something to
Victoria. That’s why I wanted to talk to him,” udia softly exined.
ine’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“udia, why are you defending her even now? She deserves to be taught a lesson!
She had the nerve to seduce ric. Please let Christopher get rid of her.”
udia’s face darkened.
“The next few days will be a make–or–break moment. Al will only divorce Victoria
after Old Mrs. Cadogan’s operation. What do you think might happen to her if
Victoria got into an ident?” she exined.
