For mer told you? The whaan’t loved is the mistress here.”
Victoria’s eyes widened as it it was her first time heating such a twisted statement
Chapter 6
“Aren’t you supposed to be moving out? Why aren’t you leaving? Les questioned as he stated straight into Victoria’s eyes.
Leminder. I’m leaving amway. This place is full of trash, I can’t stand another second here Victoi la grabbed her mitcase
With that, she turned and left without hesitation.
Sering he act so resolute, Leon’s eyes darkened slightly. “Wait”
Virtona paused.
Before she could speak, hin gaze fell on her suitcase. Then, he turned to the bodyguards at the door and ordered, “Inspert Ms. Smith’s suitcase. Make sure there’s nothing inside that doesn‘ belong to her
“What do you mean by that? Victoria held onto her suitcase protectively.
“Coudering your earlier attempt to steal jewelry, there’s no telling if you’ve taken other things as well. Checking it is for everyone’s best interest.” Leon knew actly how to push her into
“Is that who i am to you? Disappointment and anger illled Victoria’s gaze.
Leon’s heart softened briefly, but when he remembered how determined she’d been to leave, he said indifferently, “That’s right.”
A sharp pain filled Victoria’s heart. She could accept that Leon no longer loved her and his colchuess, but she couldn’t stand him humiliating her in front of Eva
This wasn’t just a challenge to her character; it was a slap to her face.
This is an invasion of privacy, and I won’t allow that to happen. If you insist on searching, either call the police and have them handle it, or chop my hands off.”
Her grip on the suitcase handle tightened like never before, and she stared at him she was as unyielding as always,
Le stepped doses, and under her defiant gaze, pried her fingers off the suitcase one by one. Her efforts to hold on with all her strength proved futile as he easily broke her grip.
He handed the suitcase to the bodyguards as if he were simply handling official business. “Search it thoroughly. Don’t miss a single corner,”
“Yes, sir,” the bodyguard responded without hesitation.

Leon remained expressionless, and his eyes were devoid of the tenderness he once had for her.
“Would you only be satisfied after crushing my dignity beneath your feet? I refuse to believe you actually think I’d steal from you!”
at this moment, all of Victoria’s lifelong pride shattered. The once–glorious daughter of a wealthy family was reduced to nothing but a fallen woman
Les did know the truth. He knew her better than anyone that she’d never take anything that didn’t belong to her, but he wanted her to understand the consequences of making the wrong
“Maybe we should just drop this. You and Leon were once husband and wife after all. Even if you did steal something, you’re entitled to it.” Seeing the hesitation in Leon’s expression, Eva decided to step in and offer him a way out.
“Can you just shut up? Victoria snapped Her dispust toward Eva remained unchanged
Leon thought she was foolish and easily provoked. She spoke without sidering the consequences. This meant she’d only suffer in the outside world.
Why couldn’t she just stay by his side!
“Fine. Eller this go for Eva’s sake.” He no longer pressed Victuala, but his words left her feeling even more aggrieved
Victoria grabbed her sultrave. Just as she was about to five back at them, Thomas approached and announced, “Mr. Quigley, Ms. Smith, Mr. Edwin is back.” They froze. Before they could react, a well–behaved boy in suspenders followed behind Thomas and stepped in
