Chapter 124
When Victoria woke up, she was in an abandoned warehouse.
Her head felt heavy; her body was limp and weak. Victoria surveyed her
surroundings and realized she was in an abandoned warehouse filled with
the damp, putrid smell of decay.
Her hands and feet were tied separately, and the warehouse was
cluttered with discarded cardboard boxes.
She already had an idea of the culprit behind this.
Victoria pursed her lips and took a deep breath. She didn’t feel any pain in
her stomach, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
She was worried that they had injured her, but except for where the ropes
had been tied tightly on her, she didn’t feel any pain.
Suddenly, she heard a noise outside the warehouse. The heavy iron door
was pushed open, and the room was filled with light.
Christopher walked in carrying a bag and closed the door behind him,

plunging the warehouse back into darkness.
Bang!
He walked over to Victoria, dropped the bag next to her, and crouched in
front of her.
Victoria stared at him calmly.
After a moment, Christopher said, “I can remove the tape from your
mouth, but if you dare scream, it will make me angry, and I will knock you
out immediately.”
Victoria hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Christopher peeled the tape off her mouth, and Victoria instantly felt her
breathing be smoother. Still, the smell in the warehouse was so bad
that she didn’t take deep breaths.
Her reaction surprised Christopher. “Aren’t you afraid?” he asked.
Victoria looked at him and asked calmly, “If I said I am, would you let me
go?”

“No.”
Well, then.
Victoria leaned against the cardboard boxes behind her and remained
silent.
Her hair was disheveled, and her face, pale from the cold, looked clean
but haggard. Her hair covered most of her face, making her look even
more sallow.
Christopher watched her in silence.
She was undeniably beautiful, but she had a poisonous heart.
“What should I do with you?” Christopher finally asked. “You hurt udia,
and I have to get revenge on you. However, you’re the only child from the
wealthy families I’ve met who recognized me at first sight and knew my
name.”
Ever since he started school, Christopher had been looked down upon
because of his identity. People never even looked at him directly.

immediately.
He felt like he had finally be someone with a real identity.
But she was the one who hurt udia.

So, Christopher had been struggling with what to do with her.
Victoria surprised him by asking calmly, “Did udia tell you I hurt her?”

Christopher narrowed his eyes and shook his head. “Of course not. How
could udia juste out and say something like that?”
“Then it was herpanion who told you?”
“You’re very smart. It was herpanion. So what? You don’t think that
just because udia didn’t say it directly, you’re not responsible for
harming her, do you?”
Victoria looked at Christopher and suddenly asked, “You like udia, don’t
you?”

His feelings for udia were well–known in school, so Christopher didn’t
deny it.
“So what if I do? If I don’t like her, why would I kidnap you for her?”
“Does that mean you’re willing to sacrifice yourself for her and seek
revenge on me?”
“What did you say?”
When Victoria spoke, she didn’t look at him but gazed out the window. Her
voice was faint as she continued, “I remember thest time you told me
that you believe that we think you have no value to society.”
When Christopher heard this, his eyes contracted.
“Do you remember what I asked you then? I asked, ‘What do you think is
helpful to society?‘ Is this your answer?”
Christopher stood still in shock.
Seeing him like this, Victoria sneered. “Or maybe you’ve created value for
yourself? After hearing from udia’s friend that I harmed udia, did

“Investigate?” Christopher had never thought of such a thing, let alone that
Victoria would point out a new direction for him.
Victoria looked at him with amusement.
“So, you never thought of investigating and just came to kidnap me, right?
Then let me ask you, what about after the kidnapping? Do you think the
police won’t find you?”
Hearing this, Christopher coldly said, “Are you talking about the
surveince? Do you think I didn’t prepare in advance?”
“No, I’m not talking about surveince.” Victoria shook her head.
Ever since Victoria had dealings with udia, who returned to the country,
she had gained some insights.
Moreover, with the phone call ric received in front of the operating
room today, Victoria suddenly realized that this was actually a game set
up by udia.

Even ric was included in her schemes.

all part of her carefully orchestrated n, weren’t they?

“If it’s not surveince, then what is it?” Christopher asked curiously. He
couldn’t figure it out. He felt like the woman in front of him was speaking in riddles with him.
Victoria snapped out of her thoughts and said in a soft voice, “I’m talking
about the unpredictability of human nature.”

Christopher was speechless.
It took him a while to figure out what she meant.
“Are you saying that someone will expose me?” he asked.
“I didn’t say that,” Victoria replied with a t expression. “But wrongdoings.
always require someone to bear the unfortunate consequences.”
Her words made Christopher understand.
Victoria looked up and met Christopher’s gaze.
“Everyone is born equal, and I have never looked down on you.”
Christopher pursed his lips. If these words hade from anyone else, he

would have found themughable. Yet, these words came from Victoria.
After so many years, she still remembered his name.
Christopher still sneered, “Do you think saying these things will make me
let you go?”
