Departure with a Belly ( Victoria Selwyn & Alaric Cadogan’s )

Departure with a Belly Chapter 89



Chapter 89

Victoria splashed her face with some water to calm herself down.

Pressing her hands against the sink’s edges, she looked at herself in the

mirror and recalled Norwood’s words.

What did he mean when he said I should feel it with my heart? What am I

supposed to feel?

Victoria didn’t understand Norwood since he didn’t elaborate on that.

Moreover, many people were in the private room, so she didn’t ask further.

She just found it ridiculous that Norwood’s stance was different from

Alaric’s. If she wasn’t mistaken, Norwood was trying to get Alaric and her

together.

Why, though? He’s supposed to help Alaric and Claudia get together.

Forget it. I’ll stop thinking about it.

“Stop being sad, Claudia. It’s all my fault for what happened. If I hadn’t said

nonsense, Alaric wouldn’t have treated you harshly.”

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Victoria stopped in her tracks and looked

speechlessly at the people outside the restroom.

They were Claudia and her friends. The woman who wanted to lay a hand

on her was also there.

Surrounded by her friends, Claudia sobbed. “It has nothing to do with you. I

know you’re straightforward and you meant no harm. Al understands that

as well. It’s just that his heart is no longer with me.”

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Elaine’s eyes when she heard that.

“It’s all Victoria’s fault. She must’ve seduced Alaric since she’s his wife on

paper. Otherwise, Alaric wouldn’t have treated you distantly. Don’t worry,

“Forget it.” Claudia took her hands while her tears slid down her cheeks. “I

don’t want to drag you into this. You’ve suffered a lot for standing up for

me. Don’t worry, though. I’ll plead with Al again on your behalf when he’s no

longer furious.”

“Claudia, we’re best friends, so you’re not dragging me into any mess. I’m

supposed to help you out.”

Victoria sneered in secret upon hearing that. She finally understood she

shouldn’t deal with fools who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong. They

felt that they were righteous, but most of the time, they were used like

pawns. It had to be said that Claudia had been making use of these

people cleverly.

While she was deep in thought, someone noticed her presence.

“Victoria?!”

It was a sensitive name for all of them, so they immediately shifted their

attention to her.

Elaine appeared resentful as she gritted her teeth and glowered at the

woman.

“It’s you, Victoria! Why are you eavesdropping on us?”

“Huh?” Victoria let out a sigh. “I was just using the restroom. When I came

out, I heard your loud ensemble performance. Could it even be considered

eavesdropping when we’re in a public space?”

Elaine looked at how calm Victoria appeared and shifted her attention to

the sobbing Claudia.

Claudia is crying, but Victoria doesn’t seem to feel guilty at all. Doesn’t she

realize she has done something wrong? She’s such a b*tch!

A furious Elaine charged forward with a dark gaze.

On the other hand, Victoria was well-prepared. When she saw Elaine

dashing toward her resentfully, she vigilantly took a step back.

However, Elaine was a crazy person who did things recklessly. She

grabbed Victoria’s hair the next moment and yelled, “B*tch, how do you

have the nerve to be smug after seducing another woman’s man?”

Claudia and her friends were stunned, not expecting Elaine to make a

move when they were only talking behind Victoria’s back.

Only wealthy young ladies could become Claudia’s friends. Although their

families weren’t comparable to the Johnsons, they were famous people.

As such, they wouldn’t dare to embarrass their families by doing anything

irrational.

They would never curse at others or even get into a fight in public. Much to

their surprise, Elaine had acted on a whim.

Claudia was astounded when she saw that. Since she hated Victoria, she

certainly wanted to teach her a lesson. However, hurting the woman

directly would only worsen her relationship with Alaric. Therefore, such an

idea never crossed her mind.

When she saw what was going on, she subconsciously wanted to step

forward and stop them. However, she soon stopped in her tracks.

Wait a minute. Why would I stop them? Perhaps an accident will happen

to her child amidst the chaos. Since no one else is aware that she’s

pregnant, I can nip the problem in the bud by making use of another

person to get rid of the child. If I allow Victoria to give birth to her child, it’ll

prove to be a threat in the future. Even if Alaric finds out about it, it has

nothing to do with me anyway.

At the thought of this, Claudia remained in the same spot, pretending she

was too stunned to move. On the other hand, her friends were all

astonished, not knowing how to deal with the situation.

Although Victoria had acted quickly, the woman still managed to grab her

hair.

At that moment, she felt a sharp pain as the woman pulled her hair. She

was enraged at that while glowering at Elaine. Does she think I’ll let her

bully me and won’t counterattack?

She sneered and forcefully stepped on Elaine’s foot while bearing the pain.

Although she wasn’t wearing stilettos, she made sure her heel came into

contact with Elaine’s toes, sending a sharp pain through her leg.

As expected, Elaine groaned in pain as her expression turned hideous. She

was in so much pain that she was no longer able to hold onto Victoria’s

hair.

She glared at Victoria and tried to grab her hair with the other hand. “You b

women. Do you think I have less strength than you?”

At the same time, she exerted more force on her leg, causing Elaine to

shriek. Elaine had lost all her strength while Victoria had gained the upper

hand.

None of them had expected the turn of events because Victoria looked

like a beautiful and frail woman from a broke family. It surprised them to

learn she was so ferocious.

They finally came to their senses and rushed over to separate them.

Victoria’s expression changed as she instantly released the woman and

moved away.

On the other hand, the noise caught the attention of the people in the

private room. The moment Victoria stepped backward, Claudia caught

sight of the others coming over. Flustered, she quickly approached

Victoria to pull her.

Victoria didn’t know it was Claudia coming to her. After all, they were a

group of people, and she only saw someone charging toward her.

Therefore, she subconsciously tried to push the person away. However,

before she even made a move, the person shrieked and fell over.

Following the scream, Claudia, who was wearing stilettos, fell toward the

steps.
