Chapter 227
A long whileter, the wind blew on Victoria’s hair, and her nausea finally went away.
She looked down at the arm around her waist and coldly asked, “Had enough?”
ric froze for a moment upon hearing that. She then said, “Let me go. I’m taking
the g.” She could feel the person behind her tense up slightly after she said that.
A momentter, he finally let her go.
“Sure.” He got off the horse and extended his hand, trying to help her hop off.
She looked at him, but instead of epting his hand, she got off the horse herself,
although with difficulty. ric’s face turned cold. Victoria took a deep breath and
went ahead to take the g. She didn’t take the gift box, as she was uninterested.
The moment she stood back up, Jordan’s curse came from afar. “Holy sh*t, you
b*stard! You got here before me!” He got off his horse and angrily tossed his leash.
away. “This is all your fault, Zoe! We could’ve taken the shortcut, but you just had to
stop me!”
The only response he received was Zoe hurling up, and Jordan was speechless. He
looked at ric and was about to go around to talk to Victoria when ric held his
hand up. “We had a bet, remember?”
Jordan looked miffed. “Come on. I just want to chat a little. We’ve been friends for a
while now. That bet was a joke, right?”
ric didn’t move, and he looked at Jordan coldly. “Do I look like I’m joking?”
Jordan opened his mouth and tried to say something, but when he noticed the dark.
storm brewing in ric’s eyes, he noticed something was off. No, this is not just
about the bet. He wouldn’t look this furious if that was it.
Jordan nced at Victoria. She looked beautiful as ever, but there was an aloof look
on her face. Something must have happened between them. He stepped backward
and conceded. “Fine. I won’t talk to her right now. I yield.” With that, he scurried
away.
Victoria tried to go after him. After all, she needed to talk to him about the
investment, but when she went by ric, he grabbed her hand.
“I didn’t say you could leave.”
She frowned at that. Although the g of victory was in her hand, the triumph did
not bring them joy. She stared at the hand holding her and struggled a little before finally breaking free
of his grasp. She then flung her hand and looked at ric in
amusement. “It’s been five years. You’re no one to me anymore. I’m not someone
you can touch however you like. Keep some distance between us, or I’ll sue you for
harassment.”
ric’s face darkened, and the air around him turned cold, but Victoria wasn’t even
scared of him. She said, “Understand?” She heaved a sigh of relief and went around
him.
“You’re going out with Bane?”
She stopped in her tracks. A whileter, she rebuked, “None of your business.” After
saying that, she walked away. Standing some distance away, Jordan looked
dumbfounded. When she approached him, he couldn’t help but nce at ric.
“Sorry we didn’t get to ride together, Mr. Floyd, but please give me some time. I’d like
to talk about work.”
The thought of ric’s anger scared Jordan a little, but when he saw her smile, he
couldn’t resist. “Very well. Let’s go.”
“Thank you.” Before leaving, Victoria invited Zoe toe with her, but Zoe declined.
“No. One woman’s trash is another’s treasure. I’m going to woo him.”
Hearing that, Victoria couldn’t help wondering, Don’t they know he’s dating udia
now? Why are they still trying to woo him? Regardless, it wasn’t her ce to judge

what someone else did with their life. She respected Zoe’s decision and nodded. “I
see. We’ll be going, then.” With that, she left with Jordan.
The man led his horse over and scratched his head. “It’s a long way down; it will take
us a long time to head back on foot. So, wanna ride the horse?”
The whole ordeal just now made Victoria dislike horseback riding, but she needed
the investment, so she took a deep breath.
Just when she was about to say yes, ric growled, “Get on that horse, and you’re
going to regret it.”
Jordan quickly said, “You know what? I’ll get us a ride instead.” He swiftly whipped
his phone out.
Victoria heaved a sigh of relief. Going back by car was a damn sight better than
going by horse. The car came quickly, and just when she was about to get into it,
someone got into the back seat before she could. When she saw who it was, she
was speechless.
I told him not toe near me. Yet, here he is.

ric met her eyes as well.
Fine. His friend called the ride. He can use it, but I won’t sit with him at the back. She
mmed the door shut and went to take the passenger seat.
Zoe and Jordan were a little speechless, and they came into the back seat. The
moment Jordan sat down, ric said coldly, “You’re taking the front seat.”
“Why?” Jordan asked in confusion, but when he met ric’s icy gaze, he shivered
slightly. “Fine, fine. I’ll take the passenger seat.” That’s the most dangerous seat
when you’re going downhill. He opened the door and said, “Let’s switch ces, Miss
Selwyn.”
“Thanks, but no thanks,” Victoria declined.
Jordan was in a dilemma. Man, ric is being impossible today. He can’t expect me
to demand something from a girl I like, right?
At that moment, ric said, “Switch ces, or no one’s going anywhere.”
The driver held the steering wheel tightly. He almost mmed down on the gas
pedal out of nervousness. Scary.
“Why do you do this?” asked Victoria. She didn’t turn around, but everyone knew
who she was talking to.
ric fixed his gaze on the back of her head. “You’ll see.”
Jordan whispered, “Let’s just switch ces. It’ll all be over once we get off the
mountain.”
Victoria didn’t budge, and Jordan couldn’t say anything more. ric still looked as
cold as ever. Everyone was silent, and the situation came to a stalemate. A long
whileter, Zoe raised her hand timidly and suggested, “Um, how about I take the
passenger seat?”
