Chapter 117

    Chapter 117


    Bang!


    Victoria’s slender body loudly mmed into the ss door.


    The employee’s eyes were wide with shock when she saw that. She


    hurried over.


    “Are you okay, miss?” the employee asked.


    Over the phone, Summer had heard the bang as well. “What happened?


    What is it? Victoria, are you okay?”


    Victoria frowned from the agonizing pain radiating from her shoulder.


    When the employee helped her to her feet, her first reaction was to


    reflexively stroke her stomach to ensure her baby was all right.


    When she was finally certain that the only pain in her body came from her


    shoulder, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    She then looked up at the person who mmed into her.

    Chapter 117 Revenge


    Who was it? Why were they so careless when entering a store?


    Furthermore, so much time had passed since the crash. Why had they not


    offered an apology?


    The face she saw was strangely familiar.

    It took her a few seconds before she could recall the man’s name from her


    subconscious.


    “Christopher Drevel?”


    “What?” Summer was confused by the name Victoria called out. “Why


    does that name sound familiar? How are you? Are you okay?”


    Even Christopher was shocked to hear his name on Victoria’s red lips.


    He had not expected a beautiful and pampered youngdy to recognize


    him after all these years. She even remembered his full name.


    After all, to thedies in high society, the existence of ruffians like him was


    like ants.


    Chapter 117 Revenge


    “I’ll talk to youter. I have to handle this,” Victoria said to Summer.


    She did not hang up, however. Summer cleverly kept quiet to listen in on


    what would happen next.


    “Why are you here?” Victoria asked Christopher as she held her aching


    shoulder. She seemed to have forgotten he had crashed hard into her.


    This was not what he had expected.


    ine had told him to hold back for now.

    However, it was impossible for him to sit back one second longer every


    time he recalled how Victoria had hurt udia so badly that udia’s


    beautiful face would be scarred. He could not attack Victoria, but that did


    not mean he could not harass her.


    She would not be hurt from being shoved anyway. He only needed to say


    it was an ident and no one could do anything to him.


    He had not anticipated Victoria’s response.


    It made him panic.

    It was a long while before he finally replied in a fierce tone, “I’m here to buy


    some cake.”


    “Oh.” Victoria nodded and smiled at him. “Do you work around here? Are


    you new to the area? I don’t recall seeing you around here before.”


    He was rendered speechless by that.


    After a few more moments of silence, he asked, “Aren’t you angry that I


    crashed into you just now?”


    It was only then that she recalled she had been shoved into the ss


    door. Her shoulder was still aching, and he had not apologized for that yet.


    She had not expected the culprit to be someone she knew, however.


    At that thought, she replied, “It’s fine. It must have been an ident.”


    A menacing rage shed in his eyes.


    She just deduced it was an ident? Was she naive or stupid?


    Still, her response had him at a loss. After all, he was here to teach her a


    Chapter 117 Revenge


    lesson.


    All the schoolmates he bumped into over the years either did not


    recognize him or looked down on him. No one instantly knew who he was


    like how Victoria recognized him. She did not even get angry at him for


    crashing into her.


    The thought diforted him while also filling him with curiosity.


    “How did you recognize me?” His lips tilted in scorn. “Rich young women


    like you detest problematic people like me the most, right? I was a


    problematic student back in school, and I’m not even a productive


    member of society now.”


    Hearing that, she paused and went silent.


    “Was I right? Did you look down on me like those people?” he continued.


    She snapped out of her thoughts and turned to look him in the eyes.


    “What do you think would make someone a productive member of


    society?” she asked.

    Her question stunned him.


    “Everyone has their own job and ce in the world. We’re all humans. Why


    should I look down on you?”


    In the past, she might not have said anything to him.


    However, ever since the Selwyns went bankrupt, she had gained a better


    understanding of the world.


    A few momentster, a thought struck her. “I have to get back to work.


    Excuse me.”


    She soon left the shop without spending a single moment scolding him for


    crashing into her.


    He stood there in thoughtful silence as he watched her leave.


    Momentster, he crushed the cigarette in his hands and walked away


    from the shop as well.


    Who was that? Why didn’t he apologize for bumping into you?” Summer

    questioned.


    “It was Christopher Drevel,” Victoria replied.


    “Christopher? That name sounds familiar.”


    She spent a few minutes trying to recall who that person was.


    With her cake in hand, Victoria smiled.

    “Don’t you remember him? We studied in the same school,” she prompted.


    The prompt that they had studied in the same school jolted Summer’s


    memory as she eximed, “I remember now! I know who he is!”


    “Oh?”


    “He was one of udia’s admirers.”


    “That’s right.”


    “He bumped into you just now?”


    Victoria nodded. She was about to respond when Summer continued,

    “Shoot! Does this mean he wants revenge because he knew udia was


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    hurt?”


    Victoria froze when she heard that.


    “Revenge?” she repeated.


    “Yes. He likes udia. You know that, right?”


    Everyone in school knew that Christopher was udia’s simp. That was


    because he had done a lot of shady stuff for udia even though she


    had always rejected his advances. Still, he was obsessed with his


    one–sided love.


    Due to his identity, everyone only looked down on him even more.


    “From the conversation just now, this is your first time seeing him, right?”


    Summer asked.


    “Yes.”

    “How long have you been working at Cadogan Group? Have you ever seen


    him around? Why would he appear the moment udia gets injured? Do

    you think that’s just a coincidence?”


    9/9


    Victoria pursed her lips.


    “I had nothing to do with her injury,” she said.


    “Boo, I know that. I only realized she injured herself because I have faith in


    you. What about Christopher? He has been herckey for ages. Would he


    trust you? Not only would he not believe your word, but he might also


    attack you for that.”


    Standing on the sidewalk, Victoria watched the people and cars going


    past her as she recalled what happened when she opened the door.


    She had not looked out of the door back then, so she could not know if he


    had crashed into her intentionally or by ident.


    However, there was one undeniable fact.


    The incident left her shoulder aching with sharp bursts of pain radiating


    from the spot.
