    Chapter 552 The President’s Wife


    “What’s wrong?” ric asked when he noticed that she seemed to be lost in her thoughts.


    Victoria proceeded to share her thoughts with him.


    Upon hearing her words, ric fell silent for a long time. One of the things he had been worried about


    since she lost her memory was exactly this.


    Once she asked about her parents, she would have to experience the pain and unease she had


    suffered all over again because she had forgotten about it.


    Was it because he mentioned his father?


    If he had known, he would have postponed the topic forter.


    “Why aren’t you saying anything?” Victoria grew curious when he remained silent. “Is there something


    you don’t want to talk about?”


    Only then did rice back to his senses. He reached out and rubbed the back of her head as he


    spoke softly. “No, I was just thinking that we should discuss this after you finish work. After all, we’ve


    been standing outside thepany entrance for a while now. Wouldn’t you like to go inside and take a


    look? Perhaps being inside might be more helpful for the recovery of your memory.”


    ric’s reasoning made sense, and it interrupted Victoria’s train of thought.


    “Okay. Let’s go inside and take a look first.”


    If she could remember something, she wouldn’t need to ask others.


    After saying that, she stepped forward and entered the office.


    When the receptionist saw someone entering, she instinctively prepared to greet them. But the moment


    she saw who it was, her voice faltered in disbelief for a moment before she regained herposure.


    “M-Miss Selwyn?”


    Victoria paused as she was still processing whether the receptionist was referring to her when the


    receptionist excitedly shouted toward the interior.


    “Miss Selwyn has finally returned!”


    Victoria was speechless.


    With just those words, the employees who were still working inside all rushed out.


    “Miss Selwyn? Where’s Miss Selwyn?”


    “Miss Selwyn has returned?”


    “Which one is Miss Selwyn?”


    During Victoria’s absence, Henry and the people specifically sent by the Cadogan Group had been


    diligently managing thepany. So even when she was not present, thepany had been well-


    maintained, and the newly hired employees were aware that they had a female boss. Henry often


    mentioned and praised her.


    He praised not only her beauty but also her capabilities. He described her as a wonderful boss.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Therefore, even though they hadn’t seen Victoria, they had heard nothing but good things about her.


    They were full of anticipation for their boss.


    Upon hearing that she had returned, they all rushed out in a swarm.


    Victoria was at a loss for words.


    She stood in ce, bewildered, as she looked at the crowd.


    All eyes were on her, with looks of familiarity, curiosity, and various other expressions.


    For a moment, she felt like she was a monkey being watched.


    Many people were stunned in ce after seeing Victoria’s appearance. Previously, when they heard


    Henry praising their boss as intelligent and beautiful, they only believed him to a certain extent.


    In their understanding, there were no ugly women in the world, onlyzy women.


    As long as women were willing to dress up and had money to support them, why wouldn’t they look


    good?


    However, after seeing Victoria, they realized that Henry wasn’t just praising her. He was stating facts.


    Because… her beauty and temperament were not the kinds that money could buy.


    Even with minimal makeup, her facial features were three-dimensional and remarkable. Not only that,


    her


    figure seemed slender yet not skinny, with all the right proportions.


    There was a saying that beauty was in the eye of the beholder.


    In their eyes, even her hair was beautiful.


    No wonder Henry had spoken so highly of her. With her looks, she could easilypete with female


    celebrities


    in the entertainment industry.


    Furthermore… the man beside her, who was tall and handsome, looked as if they were a perfect match


    when


    they stood together.


    Some people recognized ric and quietly revealed his identity.


    The crowd buzzed with excitement.


    “ric…? Could it be ric Cadogan from the Cadogan Group?”


    “Although it feels unreal, it is indeed ric from the Cadogan Group.”


    “Why would ric from the Cadogan Group be here?”


    “Are


    you stupid? Ourpany has secured investment from the Cadogan Group.”


    “Even if we’ve secured investment, it’s unlikely for Mr. Cadogan to appear here, right? Does that make


    sense?”


    Everyone was speechless.


    13:55 Wed, 19 Jul G


    It did seem highly unlikely. After all, for the Cadogan Group, theirpany was as small as it got. So


    the reason: this man was here…


    Everyone couldn’t help but set their gazes on Victoria.


    It was not surprising that they would instinctively think that way. After all, this woman was so beautiful,


    and


    ric was a man.


    In most people’s eyes, men were attracted to beautiful women, especially men with high status and


    power.


    Perhaps to go along with the crowd’s thoughts or to announce their marital rtionship, ric


    extended his arm and pulled the person beside him into his embrace amid their curious gaze.


    “It seems everyone is curious about the nature of our rtionship.”


    Before Victoria could react, her waist was firmly held by ric, and her head rested against his chest.


    Soon, she could feel vibrationsing from his chest.


    “We are husband and wife.”


    The crowd exploded with excitement at this statement.


    They had been specting, but they never expected him to directly admit their rtionship so quickly.


    What was even more astonishing was that they were actually husband and wife.


    As for ric, he disappeared from the spot while holding Victoria and leaving others to specte after


    dropping this bombshell.


    “Miss Selwyn and Mr. Cadogan are actually husband and wife. So, does that mean our boss is the wife


    of the President of Cadogan Group?”


    “Oh my! Does that mean we are working for a subsidiary of the Cadogan Group?”


    Due to the investment from the Cadogan Group, many people were willing to work at thispany.


    After all, if the Cadogan Group showed interest and invested money, it meant thepany had


    excellent prospects. So, people eagerly rushed to apply for positions here.


    Upon learning that they hade here for an interview, their friends, who worked at half-decent


    “It’s just a smallpany favored by the Cadogan Group, and you guys are scrambling for positions as


    if it’s a subsidiary of the Cadogan Group.”


    “You’d be better off finding any randompany outside rather than going to such a small workshop-


    likepany.”


    “That’s right.”


    When they heard those sarcastic remarks before, it made everyone feel ufortable. However, they


    were feeling triumphant now.


    They could lift their heads high and feel a sense of satisfaction.


    What could they say when they meet those people again?


    nicy say wHIGH MI


    Hey, didn’t you say this was a small workshop–likepany? It seems like Miss Selwyn is the wife of


    the President of Cadogan Group. That’s even more prestigious than being a subsidiary!
