Chapter 825
Although the words spoken were pure speculation, they had been spoken with pure conviction. Holger had made a good guess about Natalie's thoughts.
Trevor had only ever shown nonchalance to women. Whether they were beautiful or not, he didn't care about them at all. To think that he made her feel loved just by treating her like everyone else...
He was clearly behaving like a normal person, but for a woman who was ignored and laughed at by men, his actions might have caused her to feel something. Besides, if he really did give her a helping hand, wouldn't she be on cloud nine then? It was understandable for her to see him as someone who appreciated character more than appearance.
In addition, other than the mark on her face, she did have a good figure. How could she not fantasize? After all, the famous Master Trevor in Casterwich City was the ideal partner of many women. If she had managed to capture his heart, wouldn't any humiliation she had ever suffered before be wiped clean?
Therefore, Trevor was her sacred dream and
benchmark!
After a brief moment, Holger continued talking.
"So, I guess she did all those things because she just couldn't accept the fact that you were so close to your wife! Your abrupt marriage and your love for your wife must have broken her heart! Sometimes, jealousy just doesn't make any sense!"
She must have acted so impulsively because she was out of her mind!
"Is that so?"
Tapping his fingers worriedly, Trevor furrowed his brows. If Natalie's motive really was that simple, and if all of her actions had been inspired in the spur of a moment, then how could Vicky jumping off a building and the terrifying gift box be explained?
Those two things looked like Natalie's doing, but they also seemed to have nothing to do with her. Plus, when the washroom incident was brought up, she never denied her involvement in it. As for those two things, she hadn't admitted to any of them!
Was it really not done by her, or was she just playing dumb?
Trevor just could not drop the matter. He kept feeling as if things were not over yet!
Holger asked uncertainly, "Trevor, what else is on your mind?"
"Am I overthinking this? If it was just a moment of anger, how do we explain the gift box?" It was clear that someone wanted Victoria dead! She fainted on the spot!
If she hadn't been so scared that she passed out, given her cowardice, she would've suffered severe trauma! Even though he had sort of brain- washed her, she would still be woken up by nightmares in the middle of the night.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Also, could there also be a different mastermind behind her jumping off a building?
They exchanged looks. Trevor then said, "Could it be that she was used?"
"Are you saying that someone had learned about Natalie's feelings - that's why the gift box was delivered from somewhere near the office entrance? To put the blame on someone from the company, and to stay hidden so that our attention would be diverted elsewhere?"
If this were true, this meant that the culprit was not only familiar with him, but with the company as well. This mastermind sounded like a true danger! However, what agenda did this person have? Was it a business matter or a personal matter?
After a brief analysis, Holger knew that it was the latter as Victoria was the target.
Of course, Trevor knew better. However, there were only a few women who had a relationship with him!
He did not have deep feelings for his
first love, nor did she entangle herself with him. Liana was the one who dumped him, and had a child after; she would not take such a risk. Selena could barely be counted as an ex, furthermore, she's sick. Even if she was at home, she could not possibly do such things, let alone thousands of miles away.
However, it was obvious that both he and Victoria were the target!
At his company, it was even more unreasonable to say that it was because of her emotional entanglements. After all, she came to Sofa re Entertainment in the spur of the moment. The time she had spent there was very short. It was way easier to make a move on her outside. Therefore, Trevor must have been the real target!
Trevor tapped his head, feeling like it was about to explode. The names of several people kept flashing through his mind, but were constantly struck off.
He then turned around and said, "No matter what this person's purpose is, I need a shield! Let's get a list of names and hold a banquet! I need a woman who can put on a show!"
After all, the situation looked to be going south at an increasingly high speed. He must do what he can to prevent Victoria from being frightened again! He was afraid that she couldn't take it anymore!
"Got it!"
In the following days, Frederick continued to be harassed by Danica almost on a daily basis.
At first, he was understanding of her condition. He thought that by ignoring her, she would take the hint. However, when his phone started to ring again one day when he had just come back from a meeting, Frederick started seeing red.
"Are you done? I'm not your parents. What reason do I have to feel sorry for you?" Did she not have a conscience for doing this? "Frederick, why do you have to be so cruel? You still get to live a long life while I'm only asking for 180 days! I don't need you to accompany me all the time. Did you forget how many days I kept you company when you were all alone? Why are you so heartless to me? Didn't you say that you would love me forever and be good to me?"
Her voice was piercing, hurting Frederick's eardrum. His face darkened.
"You also said that you would not betray me! Danica, when you're asking me to keep my promise, have you ever stopped to think about whether you've kept up your end of the deal? Stop thinking that others owe you. Have you never owed anyone anything?"
"Look at what you're doing. To this
day, do you have any relatives or friends who are willing to stand by you? Why don't you think about why things have turned out the way they did? Could it possibly be other people's fault? Danica, don't take it the wrong way. I feel sorry for you because I care. But if I don't feel sorry for you, it's also reasonable! I don't owe you anything! Aren't you tired of pestering a man who doesn't belong to you? With such limited time, can't you do things that are meaningful and look for your own happiness?"
Whether it be having a good rest and going for treatment, or having a look at the world and enjoying life to the fullest, she should still be doing this on her own. If he was going to leave the world, he would not continue being so obsessed. Money, fame, and everything else would be gone soon. What was the point? Why couldn't she understand this and was still making things hard for others?
Frederick didn't want to be too harsh on a sick person, but at that moment, he was close to breathing fire.
After a moment of silence, he thought that she had started self-reflecting. Unexpectedly, her more terrifying voice boomed through the phone, saying,
"Yes! That's why I want to live for myself during my last moments; I want to be with you!"
Looking up, Frederick's heart sank at once.
