Chapter 9
Victor la froze at Leon’s words.
It was at this moment that she truly saw León í
to who he was. She began to understand that after submitting the dorre application, they were nothing more than strangers.
The suffocating pain in her chest instantly vanished.
unot someone important, but if you had the decency to return my belongings on your initiative, none of this would’ve
she adjusted her emotions, and her expression turned cold. “I’m not son happened
“It’s just a suitcase Leon would’t want your stut anyway.” Eva spoke up in Lean’s dete
“He wouldn’t, but I don’t want my suitcase to be tainted with fith.” Victoria looked at the two, and her gaze was no longer filled with pain or sorrow. All that remained was emptiness as it something inside her had just been hollowed out.
Leon’s eves, darkened slightly.
Victoria’s expression remained indifferent as she said. “Give me my stuff, and I’ll leave tight away.
‘dsuddenly let go to art is sudden indifference and that he’d chosen someone else.
“Edam saw me with the suncase,” Leon reminded her.
“Misrding an identical suitcase shouldn’t be a challenge for you, Mr. Quigley. You probably don’t want us seeing each other too often from now either.” Even Victoria was surprised at how quickly her heart had turned cold
Leon scrutinized her and tried to determine if she was acting out of anger, but no matter how he looked at her, she remained early calm.
“Bring the suitcase from upstairs to Ms. Smith.” he instructed the bodyguard behind him.
The board nodded. Then, he headed inside and soon brought out a pastel–colored suitcase
Just when Leon and Eva thought Victoria would take it and leave without another word, the latter suddenly unzipped it right in front of them
“Eva was confused. “What are you doing?”
“Checking if anything is missing.” Victoria saldachy. She delivered the most cutting remark with the calmest tone.
Leon clenched his jaw. He hadn’t expected her to learn this quiddy.
“Are you doubting Leon’s character? Eva snapped and added fuel to the fire. “There’s nothing in there other than a few documents and certificates. Even if there was something valuable in dete, he wouldn’t spare it a second glance.”
“He wouldn’t, but would you?” Victoria wouldn’t hesitate to throw cutting remarks at anyone she saw right now.
“L” All Eva could do was turn to complain.
“Weren’t you just eyeing all the jewelry and designer bags in my room at noon?” Victoria snapped the suitcase
se shut and suddenly thought it through. “But then again, I don’t need them anymore. It’s fitting for a recycling station to collect trash.”
Eva’s hands clenched tightly at her rides, yet she couldn’t lose her composure in front of Leon
“I’ll have those things taken care of. Eva won’t use anything you’ve touched,” Leon said
“Is that so?” Victoria’s fingers curled slightly, and she added, “And yet, didn’t she use you?”
Eva Instinctively looked at Leon, who had a dark gaze.
*well Edwin about the divorce sonight. You should start thinking of an excuse that might lessen his hatred for you,” she continued as her clear eyes met Leon’s with a hint of mockery With that, she turned and left, taking cold, indifferent steps.
“Wait,” Leon called out
Victoria stopped and frowned slightly when she realized how easily she’d obeyed h
Leon walked over and demanded, “Give Eva the card. It’s no longer yours”
Victoria took the card out of her bug which was deactivated from the day Leon’s cheating affair was exposed
She glanced at it a few times before finally handing it over.
Leon teached out to take it, but just as his fingers were about to come into contact with the card, Victoria loosened hip and sent the black platinum card falling to the groundwith a crisp Her eyes filed with a mix of emotions. But in the end, she hid them all and simply said, “Apologies I slipped”
