Chapter 496


    Jessie didn’t know if she had misperceived the situation. Holding food in her hands,


    she walked over and cautiously said, “Miss Selwyn, Mr. Morison asked the kitchen staff

    to prepare something for you. I heard it is made by the new chef. Would you like to try


    some?”


    After she said that, she seemed worried that Victoria might not be interested, so she


    added, “I heard this new chef is very talented. He has cooked for many patients with


    eating disorders before, and his foodbinations are unique, too. Would you like to


    give it a taste?”


    In all honesty, Victoria didn’t care whether the chef was talented or not. After her


    conversation with Ethan, she felt the desire to eat. It was not because Victoria had


    regained her appetite; it was because she realized she had to eat to stay alive so she


    could leave this ce and see her two children again. It didn’t matter how much she


    ate; she just had to sustain herself. Thus, after Jessie said a few sentences, Victoria


    had already reached out for the food.


    Normally, Victoria would hardly eat anything at this hour. Beforeing in, Jessie had


    been worried that Victoria might refuse to eat, so she was pleasantly surprised when


    thetter agreed to it without resisting much. Jessie approached her with the tray.


    “Look, Miss Selwyn. The fruits are so beautifully prepared. I just took a whiff of it


    secretly just now, and it smells amazing.”

    She didn’t mention how the food these past few days had been making her mouth.


    water. The kitchen staff had gone to great lengths to make sure Victoria could eat


    something. So, every time Jessie went to deliver food, the delicious smell whetted her


    appetite. However, as soon as she thought Victoria wouldn’t eat it, her appetite would


    diminish as she felt sorry for Victoria.


    On the contrary, Victoria didn’t have the mood to admire how delicious the food looked


    as she scooped up a bite.


    Jessie watched her expectantly.


    When she saw no expression on Victoria’s face while eating, she knew that the food


    probably tasted like wax. She sighed inwardly, knowing Victoria would probably take a


    few bites and then stop. So, she waited by her side, nning to take away the food


    after those few bites.


    Unexpectedly, as Jessie waited, Victoria kept eating without stopping. This made


    Jessie a little bewildered. However, despite her confusion, she was delighted that


    Victoria was willing to eat, so she didn’t say anything. Until…


    Victoria suddenly let out a gagging sound. She quickly put down the bowl and rushed


    to the bathroom.


    “Miss Selwyn!” Jessie was shocked, and when she went into the bathroom, she found


    Victoria had vomited all the food she had just eaten.


    Chapter 496 Give Up Everything


    Instantly, she felt extremely sorry for her. “Miss Selwyn, are you okay?”

    She helped Victoria back to the couch and sat her down again. Meanwhile, Victoria


    looked at the remaining food in the bowl and pressed her lips together. What


    happened? I want to eat, but my stomach is rejecting the food. Did I eat too quickly? Or


    have I eaten too much? Never mind. I should take it slowly. I haven’t been eating


    properly all this time, after all. My stomach probably isn’t used to it now that I want to


    eat more. The most important thing is that I need to adjust my mood.


    With that in mind, she took a deep breath and calmed herself down before telling


    Jessie, “I’m fine. Bring the food over. I’ll eat a little more.”


    Jessie was shocked upon hearing that. “Miss Selwyn, you want to eat more?” She


    wouldn’t have had the energy to eat at this time previously. She would just lean there,


    looking disgusted.


    While she was happy for Victoria, she also expressed her concerns, “Please eat slowly


    this time, Miss Selwyn. Don’t overwhelm your stomach.”


    “Okay.”


    After that, Victoria took small bites, and this time, she didn’t vomit again. When Jessie


    was tidying up, she was on the verge of tears, overwhelmed with joy.


    The meal had taken a lot of effort, which exhausted Victoria. Thus, she soon fell asleep


    again.


    On the other hand, when Ethan received a call from Old Mr. Morison, Old Mr. Morison


    was in a state of rage, angrily questioning why Bane’s phone was switched off. The old


    man demanded Ethan tell Bane to turn on his phone and pick up his call.


    At that, Ethan nced at the corridor ahead. He hasn’t returned since he left. Why


    would Old Mr. Morison suddenly be so furious and call me? Did something happen? At


    this thought, he replied softly, “Mr. Morison is not with me currently, Old Mr. Morison. I


    can ry your words to him.”


    “Don’t y dumb with me. You are his assistant. How can you not know what’s going


    on? Quickly let that girl from the Selwyn Family go.”


    At his words, Ethan was shocked. He had initially thought that Old Mr. Morison had


    some other business with Bane, but he didn’t expect it to be rted to Victoria. So, the


    current situation is that Old Mr. Morison knew about Miss Selwyn’s presence here and


    wanted Mr. Morison to release her. They had already spoken on the phone, and Mr.


    Morison refused to do so. He even hung up on Old Mr. Morison and turned off his


    phone. So, Old Mr. Morison has no choice but to call me and ask me to persuade Mr.


    Morison to let Miss Selwyn go.


    While he was contemting, Old Mr. Morison changed his mind. “Forget it, don’t


    mention these things to him. Go and take the girl away now and send her back to


    Corynthea.”


    Ethan understood from his words that he wanted him to do this behind Bane’s back.


    Pressing his lips together, he said, “I’m afraid I can’t do that, Old Mr. Morison.”


    His response infuriated the old man. “What did you say? What do you mean you can’t


    do it? Do you also want to defy me like Bane? Don’t forget; I am his grandfather. The


    Morison Family is notpletely in Bane’s power yet. If I want you to lose your job,


    you’ll lose it. If I want you to have no future, you’ll have none.”


    After having already experienced a situation where his family was threatened, Ethan


    remained calm in the face of these threats. “It’s not that I’m defying you, Old Mr.


    Morison, but Mr. Morison has already relieved me of my responsibilities.”

    When Old Mr. Morison heard that, he couldn’t be any clearer about what was


    happening. “What did you say? That brat did that for a woman?! How dare he! Does he


    think of himself as some romantic hero?”


    Ethan listened quietly and suddenly felt he could use Old Mr. Morison to his advantage.


    If he can control Mr. Morison, perhaps the chances of Miss Selwyn leaving will be


    higher.


    However, Ethan still had some hesitation. But with Mr. Morison’s current temperament,


    what if he’s pushed to the limit and decides to do something reckless? Just as Old Mr.


    Morison said, Mr. Morison had noplete control of the Morison Family. He thought


    Mr. Morison cared a lot about that and could be threatened by it. However, after being


    by his side for so many years, I know Mr. Morison doesn’t care about these things, not


    one bit. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had Miss Selwyn in his heart for so many years,


    even when she had been through divorce and had two children with another man.


    In Ethan’s eyes, Bane belonged to that kind of person who just needed Victoria by his


    side. If he wanted the power of the Morison Family, it was only to protect her and


    ensure that the three of them lived happily and were not bullied. On the contrary,


    without her by his side, he would probably give up everything and destroy it all.
