Chapter 36
Victoria ruffled Edwin’s hair, choosing not to tell him the truth. “Thave a lot to take care of, so I won’t return for now he good at home, and if anything happens, just let me know”
Edwin nodded and reached out to hug her. He rubbed his little head against her neck.
Victoria murmured a soft word of reassurance before helping Edwin into the cat. She knew that even if she went back with him, Leon wouldn’t throw her out in front of him.
But she had no intention of stepping foot in that place ever again.
Once Edwin left, the headed to Susie’s house.
She had originally planned to go straight to the hospital to pay the tees, but by the time she arrived, the office was about to close
When she reached Susie’s house, no one was home. She took out her phone and called her. It didn’t take long for Susie to pick up
Victoria asked, “Where are you?TM
“Talking to my dad. If I don’t make it back tonight, lock the doors and windows,” Susie answered without hiding anything
Victoria was about to ask if it was because of her, but Susie cut her off first. “Did you sell the ring?”
“Yeah, 60 thousand dollars,” Victoria replied.
“Only 60 thousand dollars?” Susie thought it was a complete rip–off. That ring was worth tens of millions.
“You went to see your dad. “Victoria started. She wanted to ask if it was because of her.
Before she could finish, Susie interupted as if predicting her question. “I’m driving right now. We’ll talk when I get back”
Victoria didn’t call her out on it. After Susie hung up, she sent her a message, letting her know everything was settled and urging her not to argue with Vergil about it.
Hall an hour later, Susie sent back a simple text. “Don’t worry
After that, there was no more news.
The next morning, Victoria woke up early and headed straight to the hospital with her bank card. She wouldn’t feel at ease until the money was officially transferred to the hospital’s accoud.
Only then could she breathe a little.
As soon as the arrived, she ran into someone she had no desire to see.
Ignoring the prison entirely, she walked straight toward Leslie’s office.
Victoria had no interest in dealing with Eva, but that didn’t mean Eva felt the same.
She had come here deliberately to cause trouble. Now that she had finally run into her, there was no way she was letting her go
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Eva stepped in front of her and radiated arrogance. “Let’s talk”
Victoria took a couple of steps to the side. She was trying to avoid Eva. But no matter where she went, Eva followed. She was clearly determined to corner her.
Stopping in her tracks, Victoria shot her an impatient lock. “What do you want?”
“Theard you’ve been short on cash lately. You’re trying to sell the wedding ring Leon gave you.”””
Eva, who was dressed head to toe in the latest designer fashion, smirked as if she were enjoying a show. “But it seems like you didn’t get a great deal.”
Victoria didn’t hesitate. “And what does that have to do with you‘
“Il you’re really struggling to sell it, I can do you a favor and buy it. Consider it a gesture between old friends.” Eva casually brushed back her wavy auburn hair and pulled out a black Platinum card
“How about so thousand dollars?”
Victoria regretted selling it so soon. She had been too hasty
“If that’s too low, I can add more.” Eva toyed with the offer, savoring every second of Victoria’s frustration.
“All you have to do is call me Mrs. Quigley ”
Victoria’s grip on her phone tightened. This food should have shown up earlier.
