Chapter 224

Bailey was betting on Lionel's memory of the past; she was betting on how Victoria used to mean something to him.

In the end, Bailey won the bet.

Five minutes later, Lionel replied with a message.

Lionel: You should know what it would be like if she comes to meet me. Seven years ago, she and her father ruined me. The only way I can alleviate the resentment in me is to crush her seven years later. Let's put it this way—if you make her see me, you'll be pushing her to hell. Will you still let her see me if that's the case?

A bitter chuckle escaped Bailey, and she handed the phone to Victoria.

After Victoria saw it, she started laughing and laughing until her laughter dissolved into sobs.

“I'm sorry, Bay. I know I shouldn't be this selfish and make you bear this burden, but you're the only one who can save me now.”

Bailey snatched her phone back and sent Lionel another message.

It was a simple one, saying: Your location.

Lionel responded quicker than before. In less than ten seconds, Bailey received an address.

After Victoria saw it, she leaped to her feet and headed toward the door.

Bailey's pained voice came from behind her. “Vicky, if you don't want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life, then you have to keep living. Even if there isn't a part of you that's unscathed after this, you must learn to rebirth again. At the very least... don't forget that you have me as a friend.”

Victoria skidded to a stop, but she did not turn around. In a hoarse voice, she uttered, “Okay.”

Bailey's knees buckled when she watched Victoria leave, and she fell back onto the couch.

Perhaps she could rescue Victor from prison, but that did not matter.

Doing that would only make Lionel exact his revenge with even more vigor. Although Bailey could save them once, she could not keep saving them forever.
