Chapter 140
The next day, when Victoria woke up, she found that it was already
8.00AM. She looked at the familiar surroundings and the snow–white
ceiling before carefully feeling the soft bed beneath her. Finally, she
confirmed that she was in her bed at home.
After a moment of daze, she sat up while holding her head. I can’t believe I
slept so soundly. I remember falling asleep in the carst night, which
means that ric must have brought me back.
She sat there for a while, then picked up her phone to check for any
messages from ric. However, there were none, and their chat history
was still empty.
After some thought, she called ric while walking into the bathroom to
wash up. The phone rang for a long time before he answered.
“What is it?” His voice was cold and clear.
Victoria had already squeezed some toothpaste onto her toothbrush and
was about to brush her teeth when she heard his voice, so her actions
came to a halt. “Regarding the matter I told you yesterday, we’re

supposed to go-”

Before she could finish speaking, he interrupted her coldly and said, “I have
a very important meeting to attend now. It will probably take three hours.”
Hearing that, she became speechless. She pressed her lips together and
tried to control her anger. “Can’t you postpone it a little? You can spare
half an hour, can’t you?”
However, he replied directly, “I can’t. This meeting is urgent.”
If it weren’t for working at the Cadogan Group for so long, she would
probably have believed him.
However, before she could say anything else, ric said, “I have to go to
the meeting now. Bye.” He hung up the phone right away.
When Victoria heard the busy tone on her phone, she stood still with the
phone in her hand, speechless. Turns out it wasn’t just my imagination
yesterday. He doesn’t want a divorce, but why?
With these questions in her mind, she quickly got ready and took a shower
since she hadn’t taken onest night.

When she finished getting ready and went downstairs, she saw Mary in
the living room.
As soon as Mary saw her, she immediately walked up to her. “You’re finally
awake, Victoria.”
Only when Victoria saw Mary did she remember that the woman was
taking her to the hospital for a check–up today.
Initially, she nned on talking to ric about getting a divorce on their
way homest night. If he agreed, she could use that as an excuse to
leave with him and go get their divorce certificate today. When they
returned home, she could be honest with Adrian and Mary about the
divorce. By then, they would be distracted by the news of the divorce and
wouldn’t think about taking her to get a medical check–up.
That was the n that she had in mind. However, she never expected
ric to be uncooperative. Urgent meeting, my foot! It’s just an excuse.
She felt that he was deliberately avoiding her.
“Victoria? Victoria?”
Mary’s voice brought her back to reality.

“What’s wrong with you? You look so absent–minded.” Mary looked at her
with great concern and held her hand. “Did you hurt yourself somewhere
else that day? It seems like this check–up today is necessary.”

“Mom, I don’t want to get another check–up,” Victoria replied. With ric
avoiding her, she couldn’t go to the city hall alone, so she had to refuse
the medical check–up.
However, Mary would never let her off so easily. She immediately frowned
upon hearing Victoria’s refusal. “Why not? You were absent–minded just
now when I was talking to you. Maybe those people hurt you somewhere
else.”
Victoria could only maintain her smile and say, “No, I only hurt my calf that
day. It doesn’t hurt anywhere else.”
Furthermore, it was ine who kicked her calf. Although Christopher was
the one who kidnapped her, it was a surprise he didn’t do anything to her.
Thinking about him and ine, Victoria became curious about what had
happened to them. “By the way, Mom, do you know what happened to
those two after that day?”

Mary shook her head. “I don’t know, but Bane said he would take care of it.
He’s reliable, so I trust him. Don’t worry, I heard that Al also looked into this
matter after that, so they will definitely be punished.”
“Bane is handling this matter now, eh?”
“Probably.”
With that piece of information, Victoria nned on visiting Bane.
“Let’s go. I’ve already made an appointment with the doctor. Although it’s a
littlete now, we can still make it in time.” After speaking, Mary took
Victoria’s hand and led her out.
Victoria wanted to refuse, but Mary had already pulled her out of the
house. In the end, they arrived at the hospital.
At this point, Victoria was bing nervous. Is there no way for me to
escape today? If Mom finds out that I’m pregnant, she will certainly tell the
rest. “Mom, I just remembered that I have something else to do, I…”
“Mary Statham?” A surprised female voice suddenly came from behind

This voice… When Victoria turned around and saw who it was, the color on
her lips gradually faded. How can it be her?
Mary’s full name was Mary Statham, and she and Samantha, the wife of
the Rogers Family’s patriarch, were considered frenemies. Samantha was
jealous of Mary’s excellence and beauty, whereas Mary couldn’t stand
Samantha’s arrogance and stinginess, so the two of them always acted
superficially like best friends. This was because the Cadogan Family and
the Keith Family had business dealings, so they had to maintain their
dignity when they met each other at various events.
“Samantha Keith?”
Samantha took a few steps forward, looking at Mary in front of her with.

tell me? I could have picked you up from the airport.”
Upon hearing this, Mary sneered in secret. “I knew you were busy, so I
couldn’t ask you to pick me up from the airport.”
“How could I be busy? Even if I were, I would’ve made time for you.”
“Well, I’ll let you know in advance the next time Ie back.”

“Please do.” The two of them insincerely exchanged pleasantries as

After the pleasantries were over, Samantha suddenly noticed Victoria
