Everyone stood frozen at the doorway for a few minutes.

Ethan was actually worried that Victoria would resist again. After all, they would be the
ones getting hurt if they continued to hold her back.
They could only restrain her but not harm her.
Fortunately, Victoria was not that kind of deranged woman. Otherwise, they would likely
sustain many injuries if she were to scratch and hit them.
Ethan looked at Victoria and reluctantly persuaded her, “Miss Selwyn, life with Mr.
Morison isn’t going to be bad. You should have seen clearly that you are his world over
the past five years. He won’t fall for anyone else and will treat you well for the rest of his
life.”
“So what? Do I have to choose him just because he treats me well? What about my
freedom?”
“In any case, it would be best for you to seriously reconsider your choice now. I know
Mr. Morison very well. He is not one to change his decision once he has set his mind to
1. it. You continuing to make a scene will only further provoke him.”
Chapter 389 A Step Too Late
After saying that, Ethan nced at the two expressionless people beside him before
leaning in close to Victoria and whispering, “Just go along with him for now.”
Upon hearing this, Victoria pursed her lips and looked at Ethan, who then gave her a
nod.

Victoria knew that Bane left with Nicole in his arms without looking back because she
had acted impulsively just now.
Bane’s demeanor at that moment was unlike anything before. Just as Ethan had
mentioned, Bane seemed to have been provoked.
“Mommy…”
Feeling a tug on her hand, Victoria looked down to see her son standing next to her,
looking up at her with a hint of uneasiness.
“Nathan, dear.”
Victoria immediately picked him up and went back into the house. Seeing this, Ethan
quickly closed the door behind them.

After returning to the quiet room, Nathan cautiously asked, “Mommy, did you fight with
Mr. Bane?”

Victoria shook her head.
“We didn’t fight. It’splicated. In any case, Mr. Bane is currently doing something
very dangerous, and we need to stop him.”
“Okay, Mommy.” Nathan seemed to understand as he nodded. He soon remembered
something before he added, “But Mommy, Mr. Bane took Nicky away.”

At the mention of this, Victoria unknowingly furrowed her brows. Based on the current
situation, Bane shouldn’t harm Nicole for now.
The reason he took her away was to live together, so he wouldn’t harm her or any of the
children.
But as he had said, he would redirect his anger on someone else.
“Mommy?”
Victoria snapped back to reality and gently patted Nathan’s head.
“Sorry, I was lost in thought. Don’t worry, Mr. Bane won’t harm Nicole.”
All they could do now was wait for someone toe to their rescue.
Chapter 389 A Step Too Late
Or maybe, wait for Bane to bring back Nicole.
But neither of those options came to pass.
Instead, Ethan pushed open the door and informed Victoria, “Miss Selwyn, the car is
ready. Please head downstairs.”
Victoria nced at her phone. It had only been fifteen minutes since everything
happened.
“Do we really have to leave?”
Ethan nodded.
“What if I say I want to stay and have a meal right now?”

Ethan bowed respectfully. “If you don’t mind, I can arrange for food to be brought to the
car, Miss Selwyn. You can have your meal on the way.”
“And what if I don’t want to eat in the car?”
“Then, you may consider having your meal after reaching the destination, Miss Selwyn.”
Hearing this, she snickered. “It seems like I have no choice but to leave.”
Chapter 389 A Step Too Late
Ethan spoke softly, “Miss Selwyn, I managed to contact Mr. Morison just now. He has
already bought ice cream for Miss Nicole and is heading to our destination. If we leave
now, we will probably arrive about ten minutester than them.”
Victoria was indignant. Even though she had already sought help from the outside
world, she still failed to slow things down.
Nicole was right by her side, but Victoria had lost her because of her carelessness.
Victoria couldn’t help ming herself. If only I hadn’t agreed to buy her ice cream.
“Miss Selwyn.”
Ethan was still waiting for her. Seeing her lost in her own thoughts without replying to
him, he urged, “We should leave now. We won’t be able to catch up if we dy any
longer.”
His words snapped her out of her daze.
“Got it.” She solemnly nodded. “Let me pack up a few things.”
“Understood. We will wait outside for you, but please take no more than five minutes.”

their belongings. When something came to mind then, she took out a piece of clothing.
from the suitcase and hung it in the wardrobe while she stuffed some items into the
adjacent drawer.
She only brought the suitcase and Nathan to the door when she was done organizing.
“Let’s go. We’re going to meet up with Nicole.”
“Okay.”
As the door opened, Ethan immediately stepped forward to carry the suitcase. Since
they were currently under house arrest, Victoria decided to let them handle all the
luggage.
Before leaving, Victoria couldn’t help but turn back to look at the hotel room door. Will
they see what I left behind?
Someone shoulde to clean the room after we check out. I hope they will be here.
before the cleaneres.
As for where they would be going next, she had no way to escape her fate for now.
Although Ethan had been pped by Victoria, he still treated her with the utmost

respect. He carried her luggage, opened the car door for her, and even had food sent to
the car
“Although you may not want to eat, you haven’t had much to eat all day, Miss Selwyn. I
prepared something for you. You may go ahead if you feel like eating on the way. If you
don’t want to, we can have the chef at our destination prepare something you like upon
arrival.”
Victoria was indeed hungry after the tumultuous day.
Since she couldn’t change the situation for now, she could only take care of her own.
well–being.
After the car drove ahead for a while, Victoria finally picked up the fork and started
eating.
Ethan felt relieved when he saw this.
Unbeknownst to them, a group of people rushed into the hotel and investigated
everything about Victoria ten minutes after they left.
However, the hotel room was already empty when they pushed open the door.
“Where are they?” ric demanded, his face glum.

Terrance answered from beside him. “We might be a step toote.”

Hearing that, ric clenched his fists by the sides of his torso tightly and muttered two
words through his gritted teeth. “Bane Morison!”
“Mr. Cadogan, we found this.”
One of the people conducting the search inside the room brought something over.
Terrance quickly took it and handed it to ric.
“Sir, it’s a beige coat and an earring.”
ric recognized them at a nce the moment he took the items. It was the coat
Victoria often wore, and the earring was one she had worn before.
It was the earring she had on when they first met after she returned to the country.
That was why ric particrly remembered that earring.
“Are these Miss Selwyn’s belongings?” Terrance asked.

ric’s face was so dark it could practically swallow light. “They are hers.”
