Chapter 135 Victoria Got a Lecture at Her Parent's Home
Suddenly, Victoria's expression stiffened, her pupils shrinking in shock, and said, "You... You deliberately set me up just now!"
Adeline's eyes sparkled with a smile and replied, "My husband didn't say a word, it's your conscience that makes you feel guilty."
While Adeline was saying that, she pushed Curtis's wheelchair and prepared to leave. She gave Sara a sidelong glance and continued, "Remember this person. If she dares to touch me, you give her ten in return!"
"Sure, that's easy!" Sara replied confidently.
Victoria's raised hand had nowhere to go at that point. She awkwardly let it drop, glaring at the retreating figures of the two, her anger almost reaching a boiling point.
After a short while, Victoria's phone started ringing.
Upon answering, she heard the authoritative voice of Brayan.
"Come home immediately."
After that, Brayan hung up the phone.
Holding her phone, Victoria glanced at her side where Olivia was and said, "I'm warning you, don't get too close to your Uncle Curtis. You just witnessed it, our families have officially fallen out. And as for Max, don't even think about it! I won't allow you to stand on their side."
Olivia immediately got angry upon hearing that and said, "Mom, who do you think you are to control me? I can be with whoever I want and I like. You have no right to interfere!"
"You..."Victoria shot Olivia an exasperated look and said, "I'm going to your grandfather's place now! I'll talk to you when I get back!"
Then, Victoria hurriedly returned to her parent's home and walked into Brayan's study.
"Dad." Before she could even finish her sentence, a sharp slap landed on her face.
It struck Victoria without warning.
"Dad?" Victoria held her stinging face bewilderedly.
Brayan was infuriated. He pounded the nearby table and roared, "I told you not to provoke Curtis, not to mess with that lunatic! Why didn't you listen to me?"
Victoria's brows slightly furrowed and asked, "Dad, did Curtis tell you something? I can explain."
Before she could finish speaking, Brayan threw a CD onto Victoria's face.
"Explain what? Explain how you've been meeting Alexander? Explain how you've been going to him offering loan and it's all caught on surveillance with crystal-clear audio?"
Victoria sucked in a breath, feeling the blood rush to her head.
"That bastard, Alexander... How... How dare he!"
Brayan clenched his hands behind his back and paced around the study.
"How dare he! How dare he! If you don't have the capability, don't provoke Curtis!"
"Dad... I did this for Matthew to take his place. I did it for our family!"
"For our family?" Brayan sneered, "Just don't hold us back. To retrieve these pieces of evidence, I gave Curtis a piece of land for free!"
"What? For free!" Victoria exclaimed, then quickly fell silent.
Brayan fixed his sharp gaze on her and asked, "What else could I have done? What choice did I have? If the news of my daughter lending money is out, how humiliating would I get? What about the company's stock price?" Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"I'm warning you! From today onwards, you're not allowed to provoke that madman! Just focus on being a good wife to your husband, and don't meddle in anything else."
"I still have three sons, and it's not your turn to stand up for me!"
......
On the other side, as they headed back to their apartment, Adeline couldn't help but ask Curtis, "What kind of person is Logan's father?"
Having been in a relationship with Logan for three years, Adeline had barely met his father a few times.
She vaguely remembered that the man was thin, liked to wear white clothes, and appeared to be easygoing and approachable.
Curtis thought for a moment, chuckled lightly, and answered, "My brother is quite similar to Logan. You'll get to know more about him over time."
Adeline caught the implication of his words and speculated, "So, Victoria should be worried that he knows about these things?"
"Yes," Curtis nodded.
"Then how could she dare to scheme against me? Oliva, Logan, and your brother, none of them would support her."
"She was blinded by self-interest. They approached her and promised to contribute assets to her."
"Victoria probably thought of settling things quickly. Before Leon was out from the laboratory, she wanted to secure the marriage."
"By that time, with the situation firmly in place, my elder brother, my parents, wouldn't have much to say!"
"She's crazy," Adeline remarked, as if she realized something, her expression changed, "I remember that your brother's birthday is coming up soon..."
"Yes," Curtis nodded and continued, "So you should be careful these days."
"Alright."
The next day, Adeline returned to her office, turned on her computer, and was shocked by the notification she saw.
