Chapter 454


    Rainee and Leon, who had followed Bane in, looked at the scene before them in shock,


    and the two exchanged a nce.


    “How did this happen?”


    Bane had already wrapped his arms around Victoria’s waist and picked her up from the


    ground, his expression icy as he ordered, “Get a doctor here now.”


    Although he had not a single clue as to what happened here, all of his emotions were


    instantaneously taken over by worry the moment he saw her sprawled on the ground.


    He did not feel anything other than concern, terrified that she was hurt.


    Hence, his first reaction was to carry her and instruct Leon to call a doctor over. Then,


    with Victoria in his arms, he carefully ced her on the soft andrge bed.


    While Leon left to look for a doctor, Rainee stayed behind. Then, she watched as Bane


    carried Victoria to bed, and how tenderly he treated her, as if he were handling


    something precious and fragile.


    Her heart was filled to the brim with envy at the sight. In all the time she had known


    Bane, she had never seen him treat a woman with this much care. What did this


    woman do to deserve special treatment from him? Did he genuinely have feelings for her?


    Chapter 454 Got Into an Argument


    Thinking that, Rainee couldn’t help but raise her head to look at him, biting her lip as she


    asked, “Bane, do you like her?”


    However, it was as if Bane didn’t hear a single word she uttered, and he acted as if she


    wasn’t even in the room. This angered Rainee; how could he pretend to not see her?


    In the midst of her fury, sheshed out, “Bane, you must not trust this woman. She was


    perfectly fine during the day, so why did she faint out of nowhere? Don’t fall for her lies.”


    Most likely annoyed by her constant rambling, Bane finally lifted his gaze to shoot her


    an impatient nce.


    “Get out.”


    His voice was icy and heartless, and Rainee’s face fell when she heard his tone.


    “Are you chasing me out, Bane? It took a lot of effort for me to find the time to see you. I


    don’t want to go.”


    At that, she squeezed a few tears out of the corners of her eyes and said, “Don’t chase


    me away, Bane, okay?”


    Bane was nning to check if Victoria had any wounds on her, and when he lifted her


    hair up and saw the injury on her forehead, his gaze immediately turned cold as he


    asked icily, “Why is there a wound on her forehead?”


    Chapter 454 Got Into an Argument


    At that, Rainee jolted. Her previously haughty attitude instantly vanished, and she


    became as silent as a quail, too afraid to say another word.


    There’s a wound on her forehead? How? Is it when I pushed her? But, I didn’t even use


    much strength, so why would her forehead be injured?

    Although Rainee’s heart was drumming with fear, she did not voice it out loud. After all,


    she had already agreed with Leon that neither of them would admit that it was their


    doing.


    At that thought, she replied in a small voice, “I’m not too sure about that. Maybe she


    wanted to protest being locked up in the room?”


    At first, Rainee was still attempting to use Victoria of ying hard to get with Bane,


    but she was now forced toe up with a different excuse.


    After Bane examined the wound on Victoria’s forehead and connected the dots with


    what Rainee had said when he first entered, his eyes darkened. He suddenly lifted his


    head and trained his cold gaze on her. “Did you do something to her?”


    Rainee was immediately startled by the look in his eyes, stammering, “B–Bane, what are


    you saying? How could I ever do anything to her? I only met her for a moment!”


    Bane’s eyes werepletely devoid of any warmth. “Do you think I don’t know what kind of person you


    are?”


    Chapter 454 Got Into an Argument


    “Bane, I…”


    “Get out!”


    Bane had always been as gentle as amb no matter the asion, and he was the


    textbook definition of a gentleman in Rainee’s eyes. Hence, his sudden change in


    demeanor and his fierce tone as he talked to herpletely frightened her. She froze in


    ce, staring at him in shock before she eventually regained her senses and ran out of


    the room.


    As she left, she coincidentally ran into Leon who had returned with a doctor. Upon


    seeing her disheveled and hasty departure, he deduced that she hadn’t been able to


    gain a favorable reaction from Bane, and he began to grow nervous as well.


    After entering the room, he was too afraid to say anything unnecessary and only


    reported the main point. “Mr. Morison, the doctor is here.”


    “Come and take a look at where she’s hurt.”


    The doctor hurried over to examine Victoria’s body, and upon seeing the wound on her


    forehead, he hastily disinfected the wound and took care of it before saying, “It seems


    like it’s been quite a while since she got this injury.”


    Next to him, Bane’s eyes narrowed dangerously at his words, and the air around him turned icy.


    Chapter 454 Got Into an Argument


    Leon couldn’t stop the tremor that coursed through his body. He expected Bane to berate him, but


    instead, Bane only reminded the doctor to conduct a thorough


    examination of Victoria before he turned his gaze toward him.


    “What exactly happened?”


    5/7


    After hearing that, Leon immediately exined without any hesitation, “Mr. Morison, Mr.


    Hudson did indeed send Miss Selwyn over as per your instructions. I was nning to


    take her back to her room as well, but she insisted on seeing you… Hence, we stayed at


    the door for a while, but Ms. Rainee showed up at this moment. She lost her temper


    after seeing Miss Selwyn and said that she wanted to teach her a lesson on your behalf,


    so they got into an argument.”


    Bane quietly listened as he spoke, and it was only after he ended his speech that the


    corners of Bane’s lips curled up as he let out a chortle.


    “Got into… an argument?”


    Leon nodded. “Yes, Mr. Morison.”


    “Do you think I’ll believe that nonsense?”


    When Victoria arrived, both her heart and soul werepletely devoted to ric, and


    there were only two people she was here to see–one was ric, and the other was


    Bane himself. Moreover, ric was the reason why she wanted to meet him.


    Chapter 454 Got Into an Argument


    He understood her too well and knew that she would not allow herself to waste any of


    6/7


    her time, much less start an argument with someone else. Besides, the argument Leon


    spoke of was most likely one–sided.


    Seeing that he was unable to hide the truth from Bane, Leon hurriedly corrected


    himself, “I made a mistake, Mr. Morison. The conflict was actually single–handedly


    started by Ms. Rainee.”


    “What did she do?”


    “She pushed Miss Selwyn.”


    Bane’s eyes widened.


    “Miss Selwyn was unwilling to enter the room, so Ms. Rainee pushed her in and told me


    Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    to lock the door.”


    At his words, things instantly became clear to Bane. In other words, Rainee had


    suddenly pushed Victoria, and as thetter had not expected her to make a move at all,


    she waspletely caught off guard and failed to defend herself, falling to the ground


    as a result, Then, Leon was instructed by Rainee to lock the door. Just from his


    deductions alone, Bane was able to piece together what had happened then.


    He turned to Leon, his eyes as cold as frost. “Did you see her fall?”


    Chapter 454 Got Into an Argument


    Leon stammered, “I…”


    “You saw it, but you didn’t help her up, nor did you check if she was hurt. Am I right?”


    “I apologize, Mr. Morison.”


    After realizing his mistake, Leon, who was still acting like a big shot just a while ago,


    could barely straighten his knees which had gone weak from fear.
