Chapter 623 Part On Good Terms

Lionel tightened his grip on the phone. If it weren't for this b*stard pressuring me, I wouldn't have invited him over for a talk. I managed to hide it from Victoria but not the old woman at home, leading to this unsalvageable situation.

Indeed, he did not plan to keep Victoria in the dark for a lifetime.

However, he harbored selfish intentions—he wanted her to give birth to their child safely before coming clean to her.

With the child acting as their emotional bridge, they might still have a chance to stay together even if he revealed the truth about the past.

Unfortunately, all his plans had been foiled. The child was gone. With the connection between them having vanished, Lionel figured there might no longer be a future for him and Victoria.

Lionel rasped, “Your sister had a miscarriage. When you came to pressure me, and I invited you into the study for a talk, my stepmother overheard us. I suppose you're familiar with my stepmother. She's the woman whose reputation was ruined by your father. She wanted revenge on the Saunders family, so she targeted Victoria like a rabid dog and harmed her. Now, we're all in immense pain and agony.”

Victor suddenly raised his voice. “What does that have to do with me? I didn't leak anything. Since it was your stepmother's doing, you should deal with her. Why are you pushing the responsibility onto me? Lionel, give me a straight answer. Will you transfer the shares to me or not? If you refuse, be prepared for me to unleash my wrath on all of you like a rabid dog, just like how your stepmother acted.”

Lionel chuckled. A murderous glint flashed across his gaze.

His bloodshot eyes and malicious expression gave him a terrifying appearance. It was as if one could see the gruesome scenes from hell in his eyes.

“I won't transfer the shares to you. You can give up on that idea. I'd rather sell them at a low price and donate all the proceeds to charity than let you run wild. Before, I tolerated you for your sister's sake. But starting today, I won't tolerate you anymore, so come at me with whatever tricks you have.”

Victor was beside himself with rage. After cursing several times and repeatedly saying “fine,” he left a harsh threat before hanging up the call.

Listening to the beeping sound of the disconnected call, Lionel curled the corner of his stiff mouth into a bitter smile.
