Chapter 203
When Victoria caught sight of the wristwatch, the rm in her mind rang at once,
and she almost bolted to leave. However, she was still a step too slow, for the man
sitting across from Fiona nced inadvertently in her direction.
Their gazes collided mid–air, and in that instant, it felt like two trains derailing and
crashing, sparking countless fireworks, causing the world to shatter.
The man, who was holding a ss of wine, froze in his previously dignified and
indifferent expression.
Fiona, on the other hand, was still oblivious to the turn of events. As she attempted
to obtain his contact information, she appeared bashful. Since they were so close to
each other, Fiona dared not even look into ric’s eyes but only stole nces at
him.
“Um… I’ve been talking to you for so long. Do you mind if we exchange numbers?
Don’t worry, though–even though I’m interested in you, I won’t call you all the time or
anything like that.”
However, the man remained unresponsive when she had rambled for so long. At
that, Fiona lifted her head to look at him. “Can you-”

s, the man stood up before she could finish her words, moving so swiftly that
Fiona couldn’t react in time, and by the time she did, the man had rushed out of the
bar.
At the same time, a slender figure disappeared around the corner too.
Fiona stood there, feeling a bit bewildered, having no idea what was going on. Why
did he suddenly run out? Also, was that… Victoria?
Victoria fled, wishing she had wings to immediately escape from this ce.
She never expected him to be the man Fiona had her eyes on. What kind of person
has he be after five years? Doesn’t he already have udia in his life? How
dare hee to a bar and deceive an innocent young woman?
Victoria’s mind was in utter chaos as she ran and thought.
She didn’t even know why she was running. She hadn’t done anything wrong, and
they had divorced peacefully five years ago. What was there for her to run from?
However, as she heard the hurried footsteps approaching from behind, Victoria
couldn’t stop.

The toilet cubicles were right ahead, and Victoria, in a state of panic, nned to hide
inside. However, before she could take another step, someone grabbed her
shoulder.

Immediately after, she was pressed against the cold, hard wall. The strong scent of
alcohol overwhelmed her senses as the man leaned in, gripping her hands tightly,
his gaze locked onto her incredulously.
His actions startled Victoria, and she struggled with all her might to break free when
she came around.
It would’ve been fine if she hadn’t struggled. However, as she did, the eyes of the
man turned grim, and he leaned in to kiss her as though having been triggered.
“What are you doing? Let me go, let go…” Victoria fought to resist.
Unfortunately, the difference in strength between a man and a woman was too vast.
Victoria could only watch helplessly as he held her wrists and closed the distance
between them inch by inch.
The man got closer until Victoria could see the tiny pores on his face and even
smelled the scent of cedarwood masked by the smell of alcohol. Victoria red at
him and threatened through gritted teeth, saying, “ric, if you dare kiss me, I will

bite your mouth until it bleeds.”
Unfortunately, the man seemed deaf to her words and stubbornly persisted in his
actions.
Just when Victoria thought she couldn’t escape, the man suddenly dropped onto
her with a bang, lying motionless.
The corridor fell silent at once, starkly contrasting the previousmotion.
Victoria was still breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling. The man who had
fallen onto her shoulder remained motionless.
After calming down, she gave the man a gentle shove. However, he remained
unresponsive.
What is going on? He was just-

“Snowball…” the man suddenly slurred by her ear just as she was about to shove him
away the second time.
With his head resting on her shoulder, she heard him clearly. She stood frozen in
ce, lowering her head to get a closer look at the handsome and gaunt figure in
front of her.

He had just called her by her nickname, and now, he was exuding the scent of
alcohol, clearly sloshed out of his mind.
In that moment of confusion, Victoria heard a distant voice. “Victoria?”
Fiona! Alerted, Victoria forcefully shoved ric away at once.
Thump!
Naturally, ric, who waspletely intoxicated at this moment, fell backward.
Seeing that he was about to hit the ground, Victoria hurriedly grabbed his hand.
s, the man was too heavy for her, so she was pulled toward him instead.
Coincidentally, Fiona appeared, and when she saw Victoria falling onto ric, her
eyes widened in disbelief. “Vic, you…”
Victoria didn’t exin herself at once. Instead, she took a deep breath, calmly
ced her hand on ric’s chest for support in front of Fiona, then stood up.
Fiona, who was still reeling in bewilderment, pointed at Victoria and ric. “You
two…”
After standing up, Victoria casually fixed her clothes, tidied her hair, then nodded.

“You’re here, Fiona.”
Facing Fiona’s puzzled and inquisitive gaze, Victoria, without any hesitation or
breathlessness, said, “This drunkard appeared out of nowhere and tried to molest
me and even tried to barge into thedies‘ washroom.”
Her statement shook Fiona to her core. “What? No, that can’t be right!”
That said, she quickly remembered that this was her friend making the usation,
and she chose to believe Victoria. Still, the man on the ground…
At that, she exined at once. “Vic, listen to me. He’s the guy I’ve been telling you
about. What you just mentioned might be a misunderstanding. He’s had one too
many and probably didn’t know what he was doing.”
Victoria initially thought that striking first would nt a negative impression in

Fiona’s mind, but to her surprise, her friend spoke up for ric instead.
In fact, Fiona had already squatted beside ric and attempted to help him up
before she could even counter Fiona’s statement.
It left Victoria feeling suffocated.

“Fiona, a true gentleman remains a true gentleman even when drunk. It doesn’t
expose their true nature.”
Fiona paused her actions in response. Then, she looked up at Victoria and argued,
“But… I’ve been checking him out for over half a year and have never seen himy a
hand on a woman. It even stumped me earlier when he suddenly ran out. Although
I’m not entirely sure what happened, Victoria, please trust me. He didn’t do it
intentionally, I promise.”
Victoria fell silent at once, shocked that her friend was continuing to defend ric.
If Fiona knew that the man she was helping up already had someone else in his life,
would she still act this way?
