Chapter 160
His question stumped Victoria, and just as she contemted how to answer
Hector, he spoke up. “Mr. Cadogan hasn’t eaten anything sinceing back
But what use is there in telling me this now? Victoria mused.
“I don’t know what happened between you and Mr. Cadogan, madam, but
considering how long you’ve been together, if the matter can be resolved…”
“It can’t,” she mumbled, rendering Hector at a loss for words.
Momentster, he said softly, “If you have already decided, Mrs. Cadogan,
then I can only wish you a safe journey.”
Victoria was a little bewildered at first, but she smiled in relief moments
hope you can help take care of her.”
“I’m the Cadogan Family’s butler.” Hector nodded solemnly and sincerely. “I
would do so even if you didn’t ask.”
“Yeah… You’ve always been loyal and responsible.”
Chapter 160 He Still Doesn’t Know She’s Pregnant,
And shrewd as well, for only he saw through it when others couldn’t.
“Take care, Mrs. Cadogan.”
Victoria left the Cadogan Residence with a small bag in her hand. Before
leaving, she paused and looked back at the ce that had been her home
for nearly two years.
She always knew she wouldn’t stay for long when she first came, but to her
surprise, it had already been two years by the time she came around. Time
flew, and the years were truly unforgiving.
Before their fake marriage, she and ric were friends-childhood
sweethearts-and had a mutually supportive rtionship.
But now, it came to a bitter divorce, and their rtionship became that of
strangers. However… she still felt grateful to ric, who appeared and
helped her when she needed it the most.
She would remember the kindness forever.
Victoria turned around and left, her slender figure quickly disappearing at
the end of the road.

The cold wind mercilessly blew the fallen leaves on the ground, causing
them to spin on the street and eventually return to their original point.
On the other hand, ine’s life had been a living helltely.
She had been imprisoned for some time after she was believed to be
Christopher’s aplice. Later, considering that they were first-time
offenders, and the victim did not suffer any significant physical harm, they
were released. However, after her release, ine returned home only to
discover that her family had been subjected to endless retaliation.
Her family’s smallpany relied on the Johnsons for survival, taking
whatever the Johnsons left behind. Hence, ine would often tter
udia to gain favor. But this time, the retaliation directly led to the
bankruptcy of the Sutcliffe Family’s smallpany, leaving them with a
massive debt.
When ine returned home, her mother embraced her. “ine, please beg
udia for help. Your father is on the verge of giving up entirely. We’ll all
be doomed if anything irreversible happens. And your younger brother,
yes, your younger brother. The school has suspended him too. Just who

have we offended, ine? Why is this happening to us?”
ine’s heart sank in response, and she knelt on the ground with weak
knees. Whom have we offended? The only person who can be so ruthless
can only be ric Cadogan!
The man had already warned her the time she fought Victoria, telling her
never to appear before his eyes ever again. However, she didn’t listen.
Worst, she even bullied Victoria, and now, he hade for her.
Aftering to herself, ine hurriedly went to udia, hoping thetter
could help her, but to her dismay, she was rejected at the door when she
actually visited udia.
udia didn’t want to see her at all, and if she dared barge in, someone
would kick her out. With that, ine lived a life worse than death.

Her mother was no better as she was overwhelmed by the pressure. She
even contemted taking sleeping pills to end it all but was luckily stopped
by ine’s younger brother.
In the end, her younger brother kneeled in front of her, begging, “ine,
N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
please, I’m begging you. Who in the world did you offend? Please go and
Chapter 160 He Still Doesn’t Know She’s Pregnant,
plead for mercy. If this continues, our entire family will be utterly doomed!”

Even her mother begged on her knees. “ine, our family has never
mistreated you, even if you’re a girl. Our family is now in dire states.
Whomever you’ve offended, please apologize and make amends. Our family
can’t go on like this anymore.”
Whom had she offended? Of course, she knew who it was.
Driven to desperation, she finally went to the gates of the Cadogan
Residence.
She stood outside the gates and gazed at the towering building before her.
She bit her lip, thinking about her own broken and impoverished home.
Her phone beeped, and ine took it out to check. It turned out that
someone asked udia out for a shopping trip in the afternoon in a group
chat, and thetter agreed eagerly.
At that, she checked her chat history with udia, where it stopped at
ine sending udia multiple messages with not a single reply in return.
No matter how she begged, udia would only respond with
Chapter 160 He Still Doesn’t Know She’s Pregnant,
impassiveness.
While pondering, she suddenly noticed udia had deleted the message,
and she couldn’t help sneering in response. Looks like udia had
forgotten I’m also in the group, huh? Did she delete it because she’s worried
I’d see it?
ine had assumed there must be a reason for udia’s avoidance-
udia could be injured, or the Johnsons were stopping udia because
she offended them. At the end of the day, the revtion that udia
refused to see her on her own ord was devastating.
At that, a malicious idea crossed her mind as she gazed at the Cadogan’s
gate, and she gave udia a call.
As expected, the young woman didn’t answer. So, ine took her time to
send udia a text. ‘Do you know where I am right now?”
With that, she took a picture of the Cadogan Residence’s gate, and not five
minutes after she sent it to udia that her phone rang. It was none other
than udia herself.
ine smirked in response. She did nothing but watch the phone ring

silently until it was hung up. udia didn’t give up either, as her call came
seconds after.
Like teasing a mouse, ine waited until udia called for the fifth time
before finally answering.
As soon as the call connected, udia anxiously asked, “ine, what are
you doing at the Cadogan Residence?”
Her tone was filled with urgency, showing no sign of weakness.
At this point, ine couldn’t even maintain the assumption that udia
was sick anymore. “Of course, I came here for a reason,” she enunciated
with a smirk. “What’s the matter, udia? Why do you sound nervous? Are
you afraid I might identally say something unfavorable to you?”
udia fell silent for a moment before chuckling awkwardly, “What are you
talking about? Why would I-”
“ric still doesn’t know Victoria’s pregnant, does he?”
