Chapter 6 Do You Really Love Bella So Much?

  • "Luke…" Scarlett gave chase right behind Lucas, feeling anxious when she saw the man's reaction. After all, Lucas was once Victoria's admirer until she drove away recklessly in a desperate attempt to escape and ended up knocking Bella down. Therefore, she was afraid that Lucas would fall for Victoria again. As Scarlett was wondering whether she should stop Lucas, a gray Ferrari pulled up outside the club's entrance.
  • The next second, a familiar voice was heard. "What's going on here?" Victoria looked back and saw Christian stepping out of his car, whereupon he walked closer to the lady with a pair of furrowed brows. "What's wrong with you? It's been more than half a month, and you still don't know how to greet a guest?"
  • Victoria snapped out of her trance and clumsily got back on her feet, courteously bowing down to the man. "Good evening, Mr. Thatcher." However, the uncomfortable posture slowly made her feel nauseous as she shook like a leaf from head to toe. In the meantime, Christian squinted, seemingly catching the scent of the alcohol that surrounded her.
  • "You're not allowed to drink at work. Don't you know that?"
  • "I'm sorry. I…"
  • Seeing Victoria's unconfident look, Lucas knitted his eyebrows and somehow stepped up to stop Christian from reacting further. "Mr. Thatcher, what brings you here?"
  • "I'm just doing my normal inspection in one of my properties, but it appears that my employee has upset you when I arrived and saw your conflict." Christian glimpsed at Victoria, adding, "You've been here for more than half a month. Didn't Miss Charlotte teach you what to do when you need to apologize?"
  • Victoria closed her eyes and turned to Lucas. She then walked closer to him and bowed. "I'm sorry, Mr. Spritz. Can you forgive me?"
  • While Lucas remained silent with a darkened expression on his face, Christian rolled up his sleeves and replied, "Well, it seems to me that you're not going to accept her apology anytime soon. Fine, she'll just kneel down here until you forgive her."
  • On the other hand, Victoria bit her lips, her eyes filled with tears as she turned around and met Christian's cold gaze. This is what he wants. He wants to push me to the wall. Despite her dismay, she took a deep breath and slowly sank to her knees with her head down when she thought about the Coleman Family.
  • Meanwhile, Scarlett was stunned when she saw Victoria's knees hitting the ground, noticing the cold gaze on Christian's face. "Mr. Spritz, please forgive me…"
  • Before Victoria could finish her sentence, she was splashed with a glass of wine. "It's been two years, Victoria. I can't believe you'd still abandon your pride for a man."
  • For the next few seconds, Victoria froze in a trance, but by the time she snapped out of it, Lucas had already left. I guess he must be really disappointed with me. In the meantime, Christian remained unmoved about what he saw, walking closer to the lady before stopping in his tracks.
  • "Since our guest chose not to forgive you, you're going to continue to stay on your knees." As soon as he finished his words, he walked away, only to hear the lady's voice behind him.
  • "Christian …" Victoria called out to the man and asked with a cold voice, "Do you really love Bella that much?"
