ric pursed his lips in silence. So what if I’m hiding from her?!
“What the hell do you want? Didn’t we have an agreement? After Grandma
undergoes her surgery, we’ll divorce. Then, you said that we should wait
until she recovers. She’s close to a full recovery now, so are you still going
to proceed with the divorce?”
Victoria couldn’t understand what he thought.
If it had been before, ric thought that Noel, Bane, and she were involved,
which resulted in his self-esteem taking a beating.
But what’s going on now?
Her line of questions fell onto ric’s ears like a sharp knife stabbing him.
and causing his skin to bleed.
Hostility shed in his gaze, and the tone of his voice dipped so much that
he became a little unscrupulous in his choice of words.
“It’s only been a short while since Grandma’s surgery, and yet you are so
eager. Didn’t you mention before that she’s like your own grandmother? Is

this how you treat her? You’re not even worried about informing her about
the divorce. What if her illness recurs if we tell her now? Victoria Selwyn,
where’s your conscience?”
If it had been the past, she might have been fooled by his words, but it was
no longer possible.
She gave a sarcasticugh. “Yeah, I have no conscience. You don’t want to
divorce, but you’re using Grandma as an excuse. Is that what you call
having a conscience?”
Victoria saw through his intentions perfectly, causing ric to suddenly
freeze before he subconsciously refuted, “Who said I don’t want a divorce?”
“If you want to divorce me, then you shoulde over. I have the marriage.
certificates, so we can file for the proceedings now!”
“Ms. Snowball, do you think I won’t dare to do anything to you?”
“I’m at your office now. Why don’t youe over? We’ll see what you can do
to me.” At that, Victoria sneered. “If you don’te over today, I’ll tell your
parents the truth!”

The distinction that she used to describe ric’s parents caused the man to
narrow his eyes in displeasure. Although he was annoyed, he still went out
of his way to remind her. “Watch what you say. They are still considered
your inws too.”
At that, she was taken aback and almost immediately agreed with him.
What he said made sense. They were still not divorced, which meant that
Mary and Adrian were still her inws.
“Fine. If you don’te over, then I’ll tell them everything tonight.”
ric fell silent as if he was considering his current situation.
After what seemed like an eternity of thinking, Victoria heard his cold.
“I suddenly feel that what you said earlier is correct.”
“And what was it?” She only felt her heart racing.
“It’s true that I don’t want a divorce.”
ric tugged on his tie and stared at the traffic with indifference. Now that

he had admitted it, his heart finally calmed down.
It was like the moon had sessfully broken through the clouds to reveal
itself.
The corners of his lips curled upward as he added, “Just tell them anyway. I
won’t agree to a divorce either way.”
Victoria was speechless as she figured that ric was close to losing his
marbles.
Otherwise, it means I’m the one going bananas. In what world will I hear
that he doesn’t want a divorce?
It took her a while before she could respond to him. “What did you say? You
don’t want a divorce? You were the one who brought this up, you know.”
“So what? I retract my words.”
It was only after a few moments that Victoria spoke. “Why are you going
back on your word?”
It’s obvious that he does not like me.

“There’s no reason. I still have something to do, so I’m going to end the call.
We’ll continue this when I’m backter.”
Victoria held the cell phone and sat nkly on the couch while pondering
their telephone conversation.
Momentster, she pinched her cheeks. Ouch!
What happened moments ago was reality and not a dream.
ric really did not want to divorce her.
Does he know what nonsense he has said? If he doesn’t file for divorce, how
is he supposed to marry udia?
ric had always mentioned that udia was the one meant for him.
Victoria remained in her position and held the phone in a daze until she
heard footsteps and blocking sounds at the door.
“Miss Johnson, I’ve already said that Mr. Cadogan is not in the office.

There’s no use going in there since it’s empty now.”
“Mr. Levane, I know you don’t like me, but I’m friends with Al. Isn’t it bad

that you are lying that he’s out?”
“Why should I lie to you? There are no benefits in doing so. He really is out
of the office.”
“Can’t you let me decide for myself? If I don’t see him, I’ll leave
immediately.”
As they were arguing, they did not realize that they had arrived in front of
the office. Peter never intended for udia to enter, but since she insisted
on entering, he couldn’t do much either.
After all, he knew very well that udia held a special position in ric’s
heart.
As a result, he tried to stop her, but he never expected that she would push
her way through.
As soon as udia arrived outside the office, her eyes widened in shock.
“Isn’t the door open? You lied, Mr. Levane!”
At that, she pushed the door open and rushed in. “Al!”

However, upon entering, the person whom she saw was not ric but
Victoria instead, who was wearing a white coat and seated on the couch.
“Why are you here?”
udia was rather surprised to see Victoria.
When she got her wits back, she covered the wound on her forehead but
realized that it was bandaged, so there was nothing to hide.
This was the first time that the two women met after udia’s injury.
“Miss Selwyn, Miss Johnson said that she wanted to look for Mr. Cadogan.
She refused to believe me when I said he’s not around…”
Victoria grunted in acknowledgment as she turned to Peter. “I understand.”
Then, she faced udia. “Look at the entire room. ric is obviously not
here today.”
When udia saw how Victoria acted like the woman of the house, she felt
suffocated. If the former did not decide to leave for abroad back then, there
was a chance that they would be in opposing positions.

At this, her lips curled upward slightly.
“He’s not around, but it makes no difference since you’re here. I have
something to tell you anyway.”
Ever since udia tripped and fell on her own ord but med Victoria
for it, Victoria felt that there was nothing left to say.
However, udia quickly turned to Peter and said, “I’d like to have a word
with Victoria.”
Peter had no choice but to look at Victoria. He only nodded after he noticed
that she did not have much reaction to hearing that.
udia waited for Peter to leave before she closed the office door.
Victoria silently watched udia’s movements and calmly pursed her lips.
“It’s been a while, Victoria.” udia smiled kindly. “I haven’t seen you since
the injury. You didn’t even visit me, which left me a bit sad.”
When Victoria heard that, she stoically asked, “It’s just the two of us here.
Are you sure you want to continue with your act?”

The smile on udia’s lips gradually disappeared before it was reced by
indifference and coldness. She looked at Victoria, who sat in front of her,
and questioned in a sharp tone, “When the hell are you getting a divorce?”
