Chapter 108

It was obvious that the servant was lying due to the inconsistency of her words.

A frown appeared on Christian’s face as he was getting suspicious at the servant. Nevertheless, he could not help but still worry that Victoria really was drunk in the room across, so he eventually went to the window to pull the curtain open.

Right across from him, he saw a French window without the curtain drawn, and he could see whatever was happening in that room as it was well-lit. Standing in front of the opposite window was Victoria in revealing clothes. Her bosom was ample, and the hem of her skirt was barely covering her well-rounded hips. She was on her tiptoes as she hugged Lucas’ neck and said something to him.

She had her back to Christian, whereas Lucas had his head lowered as he looked at her with complete focus. Neither of them noticed that Christian was standing by the window of the room across.

Christian’s expression did not change, but his eyes were hollow as he looked on. He held the gift box so hard that his knuckles turned white.

He did not know why he was still standing there at this point. Perhaps, it was because there was a small part of him still hoping that it was a misunderstanding.

However, when he saw her boldly flirting with Lucas, his breathing became labored. Then, he swiftly closed the curtain before he turned around and stormed out.

“My apologies, Mr. Thatcher. You can’t leave now. Miss Spritz said that you can only leave after she is here.” With false bravado, the servant stood in front of Christian to stop him from leaving.

He looked down at the servant, and there was a storm brewing in his dark eyes. “I told you to scram!” he barked.

“Mr. Thatcher, this is our lady’s order. She asked me to stop you. I hope you unders—” Despite the servant’s attempt to stop him, he pushed her away with a wave before she finished her sentence.

He then headed toward the door, and strode out of the room with long strides.

Panicked, the servant jumped and followed after him closely. “Mr. Thatcher! Mr. Thatcher, please wait! Miss Spritz will be here very soon!

“Please, slow down!”
