Chapter 239


    A faint glint shed across Bane’s eyes as he asked, “Is that so?” He tried to hold


    back his emotions and put on a smile. “Which discerningpany president


    discovered your potential?”


    Victoria shot him aplicated look, making him even more ufortable.


    “What happened?”


    “It’s him. He’s the investor.”


    Even a usually calm person like Bane had suddenly mmed on the brake and


    stopped on the side of the road. The incident startled Victoria, who then turned to


    look at him. Fortunately, the road was empty, or their sudden braking would cause a


    car ident.


    Once he stopped the car, he took a deep breath and quickly returned to his calm


    state. “Is that so?”


    She thought he looked a bit off and nodded. “Yes, but are you okay? Why don’t I take


    the wheel from here?”


    “It’s fine, Victoria.” Bane turned on the engine again and exined, “I overreacted a

    little just now. Did I scare you? I didn’t think he would do such a thing.”


    “No, you didn’t, but just… don’t step on the brake like this again. We’re lucky there


    were no cars behind us, or we might’ve gotten into a dangerous ident.”


    “Okay. I was wrong. I’ll keep that in mind.” He readily admitted his mistake and


    apologized.


    !!!?


    Victoria felt relieved as this was one good trait about Bane. He was not

    self-centered and was willing to admit his mistakes, giving her leeway in everything.


    If ric had been in this incident, he would have scoffed and retorted, “What’s the


    matter? Think I’d get you into an ident? Don’t fret. Even if we had to die, I would


    die before you.”


    Though they had separated for five years, she could still easily remember his


    expressions and tones in such situations. She shook her head to get those messy


    thoughts out. Then, she quickly exited the car upon arrival at thepany. “Thank


    you for the ride. Be careful on your way to work.”


    Following that, she turned around and left. She had not gone further than a few


    steps when she heard someone opening and closing the car door. When she turned


    around, she saw Bane approaching her. “Come on. I’ll walk you to your office.”

    She tried to reason with him, “But-”


    “Is there something wrong with that? I’ve never stepped foot in yourpany since


    you started it. Am I unweed to get a tour?”


    “Of course not.” She tugged her lips. “Let’s go.”


    The two entered the elevator together.


    “What were you saying before you received the phone call?” When Bane’s voice


    sounded inside the quiet elevator, Victoria felt her nerves tense.


    Yeah… What was I going to say? “I forgot. Why don’t we discuss thister?”

    Just as thest words escaped her lips, the elevator doors opened. Since her focus.


    the doors opened.


    He stood inside the elevator as a shadow shed across his spectacled eyes. If his


    memory served him right, her words were, “If you’re willing…”


    What could be next? Perhaps it might be something he wanted to hear but was


    interrupted by the phone call.

    It was not until the elevator doors were about to close that he slowly emerged.

    After opening the door to her office, Victoria saw a spectacled man sitting before


    Henry. The suit-d man had a neatly tied-up tie and a briefcase beside him. He was


    holding a stack of documents while discussing something with Henry.


    When they heard movement from the door, they looked in that direction in unison,


    after which Henry rose to his feet and nodded at her. “Miss Selwyn, this is Mr.


    Levane, the representative from Cadogan Group.”


    In the meantime, Terrance shot to his feet when he saw Victoria’s face and stared at


    her in bewilderment. Beforeing here, he was confused about why ric would


    make such a strange investment out of nowhere, so much so that he even called


    Peter to ask him about this. However, Peter told him not to ask questions and do


    whatever he was told because he would soon find out the answers to his questions.


    Peter was right. The answer had appeared.


    All of Terrance’s doubts were instantly solved upon seeing Victoria’s face. I was


    wondering why Mr. Cadogan would suddenly invest in a smallpany. Turns out


    the answer is here.


    Chapter 239 Investment


    Now that they had an investor, Henry was clearly in a better mood as he came


    forward to greet Victoria. “Miss Selwyn, I-”


    Just as he was about to speak, he saw a handsome man with gold-rimmed sses


    and a gentle temperament entering the door. Then, the words he was about to say


    immediately vanished.


    The gentle-looking man had a strong aura. Once inside, he swept his gaze across


    the entire room before looking at Henry and fixing his inquisitive and probing gaze


    on Terrance.


    Having worked at the management level for many years, Henry immediately noticed


    Bane had a superior’s temperament. Adding on to the fact that he came in after


    Victoria, he instantly guessed the two had some sort of rtionship, so he sensibly


    decided to shut up.


    “Hello.” Victoria approached Terrance to shake his hand.


    He nervously and stiffly reached out to shake her hand while nodding like a


    woodpecker, muttering, “H-Hello.”


    After getting a closer look, he was astonished by how beautiful Victoria was and


    now knew why Peter was exaggerating with his words when describing ric’s

    Chapter 239 Investment


    ex-wife. Back then, he was even skeptical about Peter’s choice of words but threw


    his skepticism out the window after looking at a photo of her.


    Now that he saw her in the flesh, he thought the photo only showed ten percent of


    her actual beauty. She’s so beautiful, he thought while apprehensively withdrawing


    his hand.


    She smiled and asked, “Excuse me, but where is Mr. Cadogan?”


    “M-Mr. Cadogan? He’s not here today.”


    That was something Terrance found strange as well. Why did ric ask him to


    appear before her.


    After thinking about it, she decided to use a more straightforward approach. “Where


    is he now?” She would go and look for him.


    “Y-You’re looking for Mr. Cadogan?” Once he asked that, he took out his phone and


    stammered, “I-I’ll call him.”


    Before he could make the call, she stopped him with her snowy-white hand. “There’s


    no need to tell him. He knows who I am, so just tell me where he lives.”

    When she reached over with her hand, her fingers touched Terrance, causing him,


    someone with zero love experience, to instantly blush red.


    “S-Sure.” He then told her the address while stammering, his ears were blushing so


    red that they were almost the same color as blood, His strange demeanor went


    unnoticed by Victoria, who was wholly focused on the serious matter,


    “Thank you.” She looked at the document before the two.


    Henry blinked before staring at her and then at Bane, softly admitting. “It’s a


    hard-toe-by chance, so I’ve already agreed to it before you arrived.”
