Chapter 468
On the other hand, Jessie had put in a lot of effort to bring back the food that Victoria
wanted to eat. When she returned, she was beaming with glee as if she had acquired
some incredible treasure. “You’ve been waiting a long time, Miss Selwyn, haven’t you?
You have no idea how long the line was over there. I must say, you have impable
taste. I think this must be delicious.” After saying this, she eagerly handed the food to
her.
Unfortunately, Victoria didn’t pay attention to her as she lowered her gaze, seemingly
lost in thought.
However, Jessie was perplexed by her behavior and repeatedly called out to her.
Victoria eventually snapped out of her reverie when she heard Jessie’s voice, and when
she regained her focus, she saw her standing there with the food in her hands.
“Miss Selwyn, I’ve bought the things you wanted.”
Then, Victoria caught a whiff of an appetizing aroma. As it turned out, she didn’t have
an appetite and had only asked Jessie to run errands because she needed her to be
gone for a while. In addition, following her conversation with Ethan, her mind was filled
with countless thoughts. Seeing that Jessie was looking at her with a hopeful
expression, Victoria reluctantly epted the food and said, “Thank you.” Since the
street vendor had packaged the food in paper bags, she tore open one and took a bite.
“How does it taste, Miss Selwyn?”
In the meantime, Victoria was still lost in her thoughts and didn’t know what she had
just eaten. After hearing Jessie’s question, she nodded and remarked, “It’s good.”
Jessie was pleased to hear that the food was good, but Victoria gave up after only a
few bites. Seeing that, she hesitated and asked, “Miss Selwyn, aren’t you going to finish
it?”
Nevertheless, Victoria didn’t respond; she seemed to have drifted off into her own
thoughts.
At that moment, she recalled her earlier conversation with Ethan, in which she gained a
general understanding of the situation. The moment he mentioned the name, a flood of
emotions erupted from her heart, relieving the pressure that had been weighing her
down. She had a nagging feeling that there was something she was supposed to do
but didn’t know what it was until he told her. However, she was aware that Bane would
not reveal this information to her and that she would only be able to obtain these
pertinent details from Ethan. So, Bane wishes me to remain at his side, but I’vee
voluntarily this time because I wanted to save ric. This is the only usible
exnation for why I’m here. I’m here to save ric! I finally understand the sequence
of events and know what I must do now, but Ethan is the one who told me this.
When Ethan noticed Victoria’s conflicted expression, he said, “Miss Selwyn, do
whatever you want. There’s no need to consider me.” I don’t want her to be concerned

about how her actions will affect me. Since she has now lost all of her memories,
forgotten everything, and is returning with a firm understanding of what transpired,
obviously, that man will know that I told her this as I apanied her today, I foresaw
that she would hesitate due to this issue, so I should inform her beforehand.

After hearing this, his expression showed a hint of confusion. “How do you n to do it,
Miss Selwyn?”
Meanwhile, Victoria had only stayed at the mall for a few moments before returning,
and she had only eaten a few bites of the food Jessie had bought. At this moment, she
had nned to throw out the uneaten portion of food, but Jessie felt it was a waste
and ate it anyway. When Victoria saw her eating the leftovers, she blushed slightly out
of embarrassment.
However, Jessie reassured her, “It’s okay, Miss Selwyn. You don’t need to feel
embarrassed. I see you as close as my sister, so I don’t mind.”
“As long as you don’t mind.” Victoria found this young woman’s temperament and
personality to be quite rare.

On the other hand, Ethan focused on the back of Victoria’s head while listening to their
conversation in the car. His mind was filled with the question Victoria had asked him
before Jessie’s return from her errands.
“I have one question for you. You said I came here voluntarily. Is that true?”
Earlier, when she asked that question, he assumed she was testing or did not trust him,
so he responded based on the facts. Later, he reasoned that even if she didn’t believe
him, there was nothing he could do. However, once they were in the car, his mind finally
clicked. So, her earlier inquiry didn’t indicate that she didn’t trust me; rather, she asked
that question because she did trust me. In particr, my response is essential because
it will dictate her next move. As for that thing….
At this realization, Ethan’s expression and eyes became solemn as he stared nkly at
the back of Victoria’s head. If this rtes to the question she asked, I’m sure I know
what she’ll do. I should have advised her, but I could not utter a single word whenever
the words reached my lips. What should I tell her? It’s useless; I can’t even ensure my
own safety.
As the vehicle approached the vi, everyone got out of the car, and he couldn’t help
but remind her, “Miss Selwyn, although it’s not my ce to speak, please think carefully
before doing anything.”
After hearing this, she paused in her actions, quickly realizing the meaning behind his
words. She nced at him and noticed the deepening guilt in his eyes. Then, she

pursed her lips, realizing that he already knew what she would do. Nheless, she
was not the type to have her mind changed about a course of action she had already
decided on. Hence, she cast a nce at him before averting her gaze.
After entering the house, Victoria immediately told Jessie, “You’ve been here for a
while. Where would Bane usually be at this time?”
Jessie thought momentarily before saying, “Mr. Morison rarely returned to stay here. He
only recently-” While saying this, her face changed, and she realized she had
misspoken, so she quickly corrected herself, “Anyway, at this time, Mr. Morison should
not be at home.”
Victoria had already learned about the general rtionship between her and Bane from
Ethan, so even though Jessie misspoke, she didn’t pursue the matter. Instead, she said,
“Then, I’ll go upstairs to rest. When he returns, tell him toe find me.” Following this,
she turned around and headed upstairs.
In the meantime, Jessie remained immobile until the butler approached and inquired, at
which point she exined what had just transpired. After that, the butler promptly
made a phone call to Bane.
After hearing this, Bane immediately left everything he was doing and hurried back
home.
“She’s looking for me? Where is she now?”
On the other hand, Jessie hadn’t expected him to return so soon, and for a moment,
she was stunned. “Yes, Mr. Morison, Miss Selwyn went upstairs to sleep. She asked
you to look for her when youe back.”
