Chapter 131
When udia saw ric, she was startled. Then, it turned to excitement
as she got off the bed and approached him. “Why are you here all of a
sudden, Al? How’s Grandma doing? Was the surgery sessful?”
However, she realized he had a cold expression when she stood before
him. In that split second, she thought about what ine and Christopher
had done. Although she felt guilty about it, she didn’t dare show it on her
face. She needed to calm down and prevent ric from sensing
something wrong.
“Grandma is fine. What about you?” ric asked coldly.
“What?” udia’s heart skipped a beat, wondering if she had heard him.
wrong. Did he just ask about me?
While she was in thought, ric spoke up. “Where are your friends?” He
scanned the whole room. “Do you know where they went?”
“I’m not sure.” udia shook her head and bit her lips. “They must have
gone out to look for me when I was gone.”

“Is that so?”
She didn’t know what he was implying. Just as she thought she was being
exposed, ric said nothing more and was quiet. However, his gaze made
her shiver in fear.

This was the first time she felt like ric was a stranger. He was eyeing her
with those wary eyes.
No, how can this happen? thought udia. She felt as if her heart had
broken into pieces. She couldn’t stand the way ric looked at her and
asked softly, “What’s up with you? Did something happen? I’m sorry. Are
you mad because I snuck out to see Grandma?” As she spoke, she
reached out and gently tugged on the hem of his shirt. “Please don’t be
mad at me, Al.”
ric lowered his eyes and looked at her hands. Then, he slowly pried
them off.
udía staggered and almost fell when ric pulled her hands away.
“I’ll ask you again. Are you sure you don’t know where they are?”

“Yes. I assure you that I have no clue.” udia shook her head. “Is there
anything you want from them, Al? Did they do something to upset you
again? If that’s the case, I’ll give them a call and scold them, okay? Don’t
be angry.”
If it were any other day, ric would find udia pitiful and think of
himself as unreasonable for saying such a thing. However, it was different
this time as they had crossed the line and hurt Victoria.
“Yes, they’ve upset me. If you want to scold them, do it now.” He smirked
coldly.
udia was baffled by his words, for she never expected him to be so
straightforward. Then, she fell silent for a moment before asking, “Who…
Whom should I call?”
Mockery shed across ric’s eyes as he spoke. “What do you think?”
“I don’t understand what you are talking about.” udia’s face was pale.
Although she was nervous about his interrogations, she was also excited
at the same time.
With ric being angry and having his suspicions about me, that could

only mean one thing–Victoria must have lost the child! It doesn’t matter if
ric feels sorry or sad toward Victoria because of the unborn baby; the
threat is gone. Plus, it won’t make sense for him not to divorce her just
because of a miscarriage.
As she thought about this, she felt it was the right move to take the risk.
ine was normally a bad–tempered person. To put it bluntly, she was
dumb and had no sense of right and wrong. Thus, she was the perfect
candidate for udia to use as a tool. That was why udia had allowed
ine to stay by her side. Never did she expect that ine would indeed.
be of help. On the other hand, since Christopher loved her, she felt it would
be fine for him to suffer slightly for her.
“Don’t you understand?” Coldness filled ric’s eyes. He gripped her chin
with his cold fingers and said, “I’ve always trusted you because you saved
my life, udia. That is why I treat you with respect. However, that doesn’t
mean you can lie to me.”
As he spoke, he tightened his grip, and udia could feel the paining
from her chin. In that split second, besides his cold fingers, she could
sense an intimidating auraing off him.

This was the first time this had happened, and udia couldn’t believe
that ric would treat her like this. Hasn’t he always trusted me? Why did
things be like this?
As she thought about it, she felt a pang in her chest, and tears rolled down
her eyes. In just mere seconds, udia was a crying mess.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Al. When did lever lie to you?
If it’s because I didn’t get your permission before sneaking out to see
Grandma, I have already apologized. Moreover, I didn’t tell anyone about
my whereabouts since I didn’t want anyone to know. I was nning to
return after taking a look. Is that too much to ask for? I don’t understand
what I’ve done wrong, ric…” udia bit her lips and sobbed.
Looking at her reaction, ric frowned and wondered if he had wrongly
used her.
Then, he released her and ryed what ine and Christopher did.
Initially, udia was upset because ric had used her of lying.
However, when she heard his words, she was stunned. After some time,
her eyes widened. She quickly wiped her tears away and grabbed his arm.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know about this. How’s Victoria? Is she alright?” As she
spoke, she released his arm and was going to walk out of the room bare
feet. “I’m going to check on her.”
“Wait.”
Before she was able to leave, ric called out to her. Thus, she stopped in
her tracks and looked at him. “Sorry, I might be too anxious. I’m just worried
about Victoria. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. Let’s go and check
on her, Al.”
Hearing her words, ric had a grim expression since he recalled that
Bane was taking care of her.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
“It’s fine. Someone is taking care of her. She’s now resting in the hospital.”
“That’s great. How is she, though? Did she get hurt?” I’m sorry about what
happened. I didn’t think ine and Christopher would have done such a
thing,” said udia.
As she spoke, ric stared at her intently, trying not to miss out on any
details of her expression. After she was done speaking, he said in a low
voice, “She is fine. However, she’ll need a check–up to know more about

her condition.”
At that moment, udia seemed to freeze. “Hasn’t she gone through a
check–up yet?”
