Trapped By Tainted Love

Victor put away his phone, stood up, and stated, “Fine. Let’s go.”
Ivan was stunned by Victor’s response. ‘Why doesn’t he seem surprised that Mr. Guzman had gotten injured? What’s more, Mr.
Guzman and Miss Bennet were in the same room thirty minutes ago, and there’s no one else around. It’s easy to figure out that
she’s the one who injured him.’ “Are we going to the hospital?” asked Ivan. “I’ve sent the new contract to your email. Print it out
tomorrow, and review it before sending it to our partner.” Victor left the room without even answering Ivan’s question.
A new contract?
What new contract?
With a frown, he took out his phone and opened his inbox. And as expected, he received an email five
minutes ago. Upon opening the email, Ivan was dumbfounded. This was...
The contents of this new contract was exactly the same as the one they had asked Trevor to sign tonight. However, one minor
detail was changed: Party A. It was no longer Trevor’s company, but it was now one of the biggest suppliers for foreign markets.
This supplier had no lack of customers, and it mainly targeted foreign markets. Back when this project was launched, Ivan had
once contacted this same supplier, but they rejected his proposal, making it clear that they had no intention of entering the
domestic market.
At the time, Ivan formulated several plans to convince the supplier, but he never succeeded. But now, Victor managed to close a
contract with the supplier for the next quarter unbeknownst to anyone.
At this moment, Ivan had an epiphany. Everything soon became clear to him.
Victor had never intended to cooperate with Trevor from the very beginning! Ivan looked at his email, and then glanced at
Victor’s back. For some reason, seeing his boss sent shivers down his spine. After all these years of working for Victor, Ivan
thought that he knew his boss well. But now, he realized that he didn’t know him at all.
It seemed that Victor was far more terrifying than he had initially imagined.
However, there was still one thing that Ivan could not figure out. ‘If Mr. Sullivan had already decided not to cooperate with Mr.
Guzman, then why did he attend this party in the first place?’

Ivan really couldn’t figure it out. Upon seeing that Victor was walking farther and farther away, Ivan decided to drop his thoughts
and caught up with him.
Figuring out Victor’s thoughts was much more difficult for Ivan than finding a needle in a haystack. What Victor accomplished
today was enough to prove his unfathomable capabilities. As a matter of fact, the reason behind Victor’s attendance at the party
wasn’t as complicated as Ivan had
Seek Justice For Mr. Guzman thought. Initially, he did want to partner up with Trevor, but before he went to the appointment, he
received the results of the investigation regarding Trevor’s background. It was only then that Victor knew that Trevor’s company
was not really prosperous as it seemed. In reality, two years ago, their company started running out of money. In addition, the
quality of their raw materials were subpar at best. His company was struggling to keep itself afloat. Thus, it proved to Victor that
Trevor did not have the upper hand in this supposed cooperation. His company urgently needed the Sullivan Group as its partner
to fill in his company’s losses for the past two years. Otherwise, his company wouldn’t be able to hold on for another three
months. While Victor was reading the report regarding Trevor’s background check, Ivan came in to report that Alice had been
detained.
And that was the reason he attended the party; to make things difficult for Rachel. When Ivan found out that Victor had no
intention of cooperating with Trevor, he thought that Victor would leave the club and go back home. But to Ivan’s surprise, he
followed Victor to the private room where they met with Trevor earlier. At this moment, all the lights in the room were turned on. It
was as bright as early morning. Trevor had been sent to the hospital, but residues of his blood could still be seen on the gray
carpet. The air in the room wasn’t able to circulate well, so the scent of blood was still present in the air. More than a dozen
uniformed bodyguards were standing in the room, and their eyes fell on Rachel. The club’s manager on duty for tonight rushed
here as soon as he heard what happened. All of their customers were rich, powerful, or both. Even if a person looked ordinary,
they could be a big shot who could turn this club upside down with a snap of their finger. And so, the manager wasted no time to
try and resolve the problem. The manager was in a difficult position. He never imagined that something this horrible would
happen while he was on duty. And to top it off, he never imagined that the Crown Club would be put in turmoil, not by some big
shot, but by a mere woman. After knowing who Trevor was, the manager’s face turned pale. Right now, he wished that he was
the one sent to the hospital instead of Trevor.
Although Trevor didn’t live in the city, Apliaria, all-year-round, he was still a well-known domestic supplier, and he was one of the
best in the country. He was definitely not someone they could offend!
Just the thought of this was enough to drench the manager’s back with sweat.

In stark contrast to the trembling manager, Rachel was quite composed. Quietly, she swept her eyes across the bodyguards in
the room, sat on the sofa, and remained silent all throughout the ordeal. Her actions left the manager confused.
The vibe Rachel exuded was hard to ignore. She was aloof, indifferent, and apathetic.
Was this woman who injured Mr. Guzman? Was she more powerful than him or something? He couldn’t figure it out, so he asked
the bodyguards not to act rashly. He decided to call the general manager and wait for his arrival.
Rachel lowered her head, her long eyelashes cast a shadow beneath her eyes. Nobody could tell what she was thinking right
now. “Mr... Mr. Sullivan!” When the manager heard the footsteps, he quickly turned around; but instead of the Seek Justice For
Mr. Guzman general manager, he saw Victor. He was immediately stupefied by Victor’s frigid presence. Victor glanced at the
manager, and then at Rachel. He knew that Trevor didn’t do anything to her. To be exact, before he could take action, she
bashed his head in. Victor narrowed his eyes on Rachel. The reason he didn’t leave the club right away was because he wanted
to see what Rachel would do to make him regret. When she claimed that he was gonna regret it, he thought that she meant
things like she would never love him again. If she really said that to him, Victor wouldn’t hesitate to laugh at her face. However,
what Rachel did tonight was beyond his wildest imagination. Amusement flashed through Victor’s eyes. He smirked at the
manager and asked, “Are you sure this woman was the one who hurt Mr. Guzman?” Hesitating for a moment, the manager
replied, “Mr. Guzman was still conscious before he was sent to the hospital, and he told us that this woman was the one who
attacked him. We also checked the surveillance cameras and found that she had indeed attacked Mr. Guzman.” At last, Rachel
decided to do something. She looked Victor dead in the eye. As a matter of fact, she already knew that she wouldn’t be able to
escape Victor’s clutches the moment she smashed the bottle at Trevor’s head. Even if she managed to escape the club and get
back to her own house, Victor would still have a thousand ways to catch her.
Thus, Rachel decided to wait for him, and see what he wanted to do to her. “Good. I’m glad that you confirmed it,” Victor
responded with a sneer. “Mr. Sullivan, do you know her?” The manager was stunned. “No, I don’t. But Mr. Guzman is my guest.
And since he has gotten injured, I must seek justice for him,” replied Victor.
