Chapter 60

Victoria gazed at him quietly. After hesitating for a long time, she shook her head. “Since he doesn't want me to find him, then I shall respect his wishes. I won't go looking for him to cause him more trouble. Instead, I'll wait in Hallsbay for him to take back everything that belongs to him.”

Dwayne could not help but smile. “Perhaps he doesn't need to anymore. The properties he currently owns are ten times or even a hundred times more than the Saunders family's.”

Victoria took in a deep breath, forcing a smile. “Really? He must've encountered a miracle, then. I'm happy for him. I hope he can forget the painful past and start a new life.”

A conflicted expression flooded Dwayne's eyes. After staring at her for some time, he said, “Vicky, what I told you earlier is true. Lionel... is married and has a child.”

Clang!

Upon hearing those words, Victoria, who had just lifted her glass of coffee, accidentally lost her grip on it, causing it to hit the table.

“I-I'm sorry. I need to go to the restroom.” With that, she grabbed her bag and rushed out of the private room.

Dwayne narrowed his eyes as he watched her flee pathetically. At the same time, a hint of dejection flashed across his face.

It's been so many years, yet she still can't forget about him. She knows it's impossible between them. Why is she still being so stubborn?

After pondering for some time, he took out his phone from his pocket and gave Bailey a call.

“Ms. Jefferson, are you free now? Can you come over to the cafe under Luther Group? Victoria's in a bad mood. I think you need to come over and talk to her.”

There was a moment of silence before Bailey's calm voice could be heard from the phone speakers. “You talked to her about Lionel, didn't you?”

Dwayne hummed in response and recounted his entire conversation with Victoria.

“Oh, boy. Even I don't dare to bring up the past to her for fear of making her emotional. Where did you get the guts to do so? Ah, forget about it. I'll go over there with Susan. Keep an eye on Victoria and don't let her take any alcohol.”
