udiay back on her bed, covering her face and crying her heart out. Even she felt
like beating herself up. She should’ve stopped while she was ahead, but it was toote
for regrets. No one could help her now. Wait, there is still someone who can help me.
She had someone in mind, and she quickly leaped out of bed. “Quick, get me a cab,
L!”
It was a busy night, indeed.
udia and L were at a quiet za. Ethan poured a cup of tea for Bane, and steam
swirled in the air. udia stood before Bane while L held her up. She had been
standing for quite a while, but Bane didn’t even let her sit. Ethan showed her no
hospitality either, aside from the cup of tea.
She hade out in a hurry, so she was wearing nothing but patient attire, revealing
her wrist covered in cut wounds. The only warm clothing she had was from L, but
even so, the cold still made her shiver. She yearned for a cup of tea. It should be
enough to warm me up.
However, no matter how much she stared at the tea, Bane still didn’t move. He looked
aloof, unlike his usual self, though he was still elegant as ever as he sipped his tea. He
blew on it and took a sip.

A gust of wintry gale whizzed past the ce, and thedies shivered. No longer able to
hold it in, udia inquired, “B–Bane, so what d–do you think?”
Finally, the man looked at her for a brief moment before putting his cup down. “I’m
sorry, Miss Johnson, but I have no ns on working with a fool.”
Ethan looked at Bane upon hearing that. That’s the man I know. The persona he
acquired after meeting Miss Selwyn is disappearing.
udia paled, and her lips started trembling. “W–What did you say?” It was a hurtful
reply, even though Bane was speaking politely. When he said he would see her, she
thought he was amenable to a partnership, but no. She had it wrong.
“You have nothing to bargain with me anymore, and you wasted all your overwhelming
advantage. Despite all the edge you had, you still lost. I see no reason to work with
someone who has no brains or brawn. I am no phnthropist.”
She is worthless to me. Bane then told Ethan, “Escort her away.”
Ethan stepped ahead and was about to escort udia away, but she flung L’s hand
off and shouted, “No! I am not leaving! You like Victoria, don’t you? We can make a
deal!”

“Oh?” Bane smiled. “Do you still think you have anything that’s tradeable? After
everything that’s happened, you’re worth nothing to ric anymore. And so what if I
like her? I see no point using that to negotiate.” His smile was slowly turning into a

sneer. “You should not bring my love for her up, let alone use it for your nefarious ends,
scum.”
The look on his face sent shivers down udia’s spine. She had a feeling Bane was not
as friendly as he pretended to be. This man was on the brink of madness. If this were
any other time, she would have left right away, but not this time. Now, she was
desperate. She stepped ahead and bit her lip. “I am not trying to crack any jokes. Do
you truly think you love her? Do you love her so much that you can ignore it when she’s
kissing another man?”
Bane looked at Ethan. “Take her away.”
“She’s going to start a rtionship with ric soon, and you’re just going to let them do
it? I know you’ve been by her side for thest five years. Don’t you want to be with her?
Are you just going to let someone else take her away from you?” udia screeched like
an insane banshee. She was at her wits‘ end, but Bane remained calm and collected.
“Had enough?”
udia froze. What? He’s unfazed even after all that? No way. He must have stayed
Chapter 375 Not Working With Idiots
with Victoria for years because he likes her. It was the reason udia stopped asking
her men to keep an eye on Victoria. She thought Bane and Victoria would end up
together sooner orter. No woman could resist a man like Bane if he kept up with his
advances for years. They would relent and say yes in the end.

However, Victoria was dirtier than she imagined, whereas Bane had more patience than
expected. Even when things were looking dire enough for him, he was still unfazed.
While she was in a stupor, Ethan came ahead and coldly said, “Miss Johnson, please
leave.”
She looked at Bane. He didn’t seem interested in talking to her, so she went around him,
but before she left, she said, “I don’t understand. If you never wanted to deal with me,
why did you agree to this meeting?” If he thinks I’m worth nothing, he could’ve just
skipped out on this meeting. There was no need to waste my time. There must be a
reason, but I just failed to find it. I can’t leave just yet.
However, what Bane said next dashed her hopes. “Ah, you’re reading too much into it. I

just want to see the look on your face when you find out you lost to her.”
udia’s eyes went wide in disbelief, and mes of fury filled her heart. She clenched
her fists in anger, irritated that he would y her like a fiddle. Though, that anger was
soon reced by envy. She envied Victoria for earning the love of good men, for getting

the affection of someone like ric and Bane, without having to do anything. If I could
date even one of them, I’d die happy.
“Miss Johnson, do leave at once.” Ethan came up to her once again, but this time, he
was not as polite anymore. “Or I will be forced to call the guards.”
udia red at Bane hatefully. “Don’t regret this. With that, she went away, and L
was about to leave, but she was reminded of something. She then bit her lip and
quickly came back to Bane to tell him something
And that little something managed to rile Bane up a little
