Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 452

When Victoria entered the car, she noticed that the passenger seat was empty, so she

decided to sit there without further ado. Initially, it was supposed to be Ethan’s seat. So,

when the driver saw her sitting there, he glanced at Ethan.

“Miss Selwyn, it’s not safe to sit in the front seat. How about-”

“Do I not have the right to choose my own seat?” she interrupted.

“Let her sit there as long as she’s happy.” A voice came through the earpiece. It was

Bane. Ethan remained silent, and everyone entered the car one by one.

Since Victoria had previously worn blindfold glasses, no precautions were taken inside

the car. She could see the street view clearly from the car and even read license plates.

It didn’t take her long to figure out their destination. So, she leisurely looked out the

window, observing the scenery and buildings. The journey lasted about an hour, and

they finally arrived at their destination.

She followed Ethan as they exited the car, and the first thing she asked after getting out

was, “Where is Alaric?”

Ethan didn’t respond. Instead, a person who had approached from the house entrance

took his place. After a brief conversation with that person, Ethan left, and he glanced at

her before departing. Her heart sank at the sight of him leaving. Was his only task to

escort her here and then leave?

As expected, Ethan got back in the car and quickly drove away. Once he disappeared

from her sight, the person who replaced him approached Victoria. His gaze fixed on her

like that of a venomous snake.

“Hello, Miss Selwyn. Please follow me,” he said.

For some reason, she felt as if she had become the target of a venomous snake the moment she met his gaze. Instinctively, she furrowed her brows but had no choice but to follow him. She walked behind him as he led her inside. He brought her to a room,

and as she stood by the doorway and took a quick glance inside, she asked, “Where is

Alaric? Where is Bane?”

“We don’t know, but Mr. Morison has instructed that this will be your room from now

on.”

She was rendered speechless upon hearing that, so she stared at him. “What do you

mean? I didn’t come here to stay. You promised that I could come and see-”

However, before she could finish her sentence, a high–pitched voice echoed from

downstairs.

“What’s with the fuss?” Victoria’s gaze followed the voice and saw a girl in a pink dress

walking toward them. She had curly hair and vibrant nail polish, exuding the impression

of a beautiful young girl.

As soon as the girl spotted Victoria, she narrowed her eyes and asked, “Are you the

woman Bane loves but can’t have?” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Victoria was taken aback by her words.

The girl scanned Victoria from head to toe, and a flicker of astonishment crossed her

eyes but was quickly replaced by annoyance. She exclaimed, “What’s this? I thought

you would be far prettier. It turns out, you’re just average.”

Victoria was at a loss for words, and her eyebrows furrowed in response. Who was this

random girl? She hadn’t come here to engage with her. So, she turned to look at the

person who was interacting with Ethan.

“I want to see Bane,” she demanded. She had rushed over here overnight just to see

Alaric.

Instead, the girl turned and asked, “What’s going on, Leon?”

Leon replied, “Ms. Rainee, Mr. Morison wanted her to stay in her own room.”

“Oh, then why is she still here? Let her go into the room,” the girl retorted.

“Well, this young lady might have other demands and might not be willing-”

Before Leon could finish his sentence, the girl suddenly reached out and pushed Victoria into the room, quickly closing the door. Although Leon disliked Victoria for influencing Bane, he didn’t dare to touch her. Yet, he didn’t expect Rainee to

suddenly push her into the room and shut the door.

“Ms. Rainee…”

Rainee tilted her chin and looked at him. “What’s wrong? Didn’t you say she didn’t want

to go in? So, I used the most straightforward method to make her go in. Bane doesn’t

want her wandering around, right? So, hurry up and lock the door.”

After a brief moment of confusion, he smiled. “You’re right, Ms. Rainee. I’ll lock the door

right away.”

They quickly came to an agreement and locked the door before leaving. As they

departed, their footsteps were light and hurried, and they naturally didn’t notice the

person inside the room falling after being pushed.

Victoria never expected that the girl, who already appeared domineering, would

suddenly make a move on her and push her inside. Her head hit the ground hard,

causing sharp pain and making her see stars. She tried to prop herself up with her hand

and sit–up, but her vision became dizzy, and she felt too weak to support herself.

She reached back to touch the back of her head and felt it was wet. However, before

she could look at her wet palm, she lost consciousness once again.

Chapter 452 A Push

Leon followed Rainee as they walked down the stairs. “Ms. Rainee, what you did might

upset Mr. Morison,” he said.

“What’s there to be upset about? Doesn’t he want to confine that woman? I was just

helping him out since she wouldn’t listen. Bane should be grateful to me,” she replied.

“But… what if she gets hurt because you pushed her?”

“Come on, it was just a slight push. She’s an adult, not a child. Do you think she’s made

of sand that she gets injured from a mere push? Besides, she wants to compete with

me for Bane. What’s wrong with teaching her a lesson? Don’t worry, it’s nothing.” She

dismissed any guilt about pushing Victoria.

“A push might not be a big deal, but have you considered that she might complain to

Bane about you? After all, Bane values her a great deal, so he will definitely care about

what she says.”

“She wouldn’t dare!” She gritted her teeth and seethed, “I’ll make her sorry *ss regret it if

she dares to complain.” After she said that, she thought of something and turned to

look at Leon. “I helped you today, so you shouldn’t tell anyone about this.”

Leon smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ve always been on your side. If you don’t want

me to say anything, I won’t. But you shouldn’t show off in front of Bane and admit it just

Chapter 452 A Push

out of loyalty.”

“Will you help me, then?”

“Of course.”

“Let’s just say that Victoria didn’t want to stay in the room, so she injured herself?”

“Yes.”

“Sounds good.”

Rainee smiled contentedly. “Leon, you’re always good to me. I wouldn’t ask for anything

else if Bane treats me half as well as you do.”

As Leon looked at the fair–skinned and delicately dressed girl in front of him, he lowered

his gaze, concealing the sinister glint in his eyes. “Ms. Rainee, you’re beautiful. As long

as you put some thought into it, most men won’t be able to resist you.”

“Is that so?” She didn’t notice his sinister gaze and got lost in her own thoughts after

hearing his praises. After she thought his words over for a while, she smiled again,

revealing two sweet dimples. “You’re right. In the past, I didn’t have a chance to spend

time with Bane. As long as I work hard in the future, he will definitely acknowledge me.

By then, he won’t want that woman anymore.”
