Claudia was making a bet when she said that because Alaric had been
acting strangely as of late. If she hadn’t restricted Victoria with the reason
of the latter owing her a favor, she would’ve assumed that Victoria had
told the man about the pregnancy.
Ironically, even though Victoria was a love rival, Claudia trusted her to
keep her word. That was the reason she tried very hard to make Victoria
owe her a favor back then.
As expected, after she finished speaking, everyone was hyped up.
“What do you mean?”
Someone asked with a smile, “Claudia, are you talking about Al being a
husband now?”
“Gosh, the marriage is a sham! Everyone knows that you’re the only one in

Al’s heart.”
“That’s right. Moreover, Alaric and Victoria have been good friends since
childhood. There’s no love between them.”
Alaric frowned while listening to their conversation. He subconsciously
took a look at Victoria to find her calmly sipping on juice.
Her eyes brightened as though she realized the juice tasted wonderful.
Following another sip, she started chu gging it down.
Alaric was speechless at that.
Victoria didn’t expect that her taste for food and beverages would change.

favorite back then, but she loved it now. She finished the juice in barely a
minute.
Claudia noticed what Victoria had been doing as well. She frowned for a

moment before becoming at ease. She must be embarrassed right now.
That’s how she’s trying to cover it up. Pfft.
There were mostly alcoholic drinks on the table. Several people didn’t like
to drink wine, so they ordered juice, including Victoria. Claudia had
ordered a glass of milk, but Victoria didn’t like the taste.
There was a glass of juice in front of Bane as well. Since he didn’t like to
drink wine, he asked for a glass of juice.
After finishing her juice, Victoria seemed to be craving more. Despite
feeling bashful, she had the urge to ask for another glass of juice from the
waiter. After all, she couldn’t ask Bane to pass her his juice.
While she was deep in thought, everyone in the private room started
urging Alaric and Claudia to drink.
“Let’s drink!”

“Drink up!”
Even Claudia’s friends joined in the fun.
“Alaric, why don’t you drink with Claudia?”

“That’s right. Are you worried Miss Selwyn will be mad? We’re aware of your
relationship with her, and she knows that you’re fond of Claudia. I’m sure
Miss Selwyn won’t mind, right?”
Hearing that, Victoria sneered in secret.
Not only are they trying to make Alaric and Claudia look like a couple, but
they’re also trying to keep my mouth shut. Do they think they can
embarrass me by doing so?
At the thought of this, Victoria lifted her head and looked straight at that
person before curling her lips. “Why did you even ask me when you’ve put
words in my mouth?”

At this point, Victoria finally realized that the person was one of the women
who had warned her outside the clubhouse.
Her voice is also the same as the one who warned me over the phone.
She’s indeed a good lackey of Claudia.
The woman was startled, as she didn’t expect Victoria to counter. When
she came to her senses a moment later, she lifted her chin and said, “I
had to ask, of course. I don’t think you’re so petty, but what if you’re that
kind of person?”
“Elaine…” Claudia took her arm with a dark expression. “Stop it.”
“Why are you stopping me, Claudia? I’m just trying to have a friendly
conversation with Miss Selwyn. I’m sure she’s not so narrow-minded.”
As the woman spoke, Victoria picked up a glass of wine in front of her. She
swayed the wine as the red liquid radiated a charming glow under the
lights.

Elaine’s expression changed when she saw that. “What are you trying to
do?”
Hearing that, Victoria was startled as she turned to look at the woman in
shock. When she realized what was on the woman’s mind a moment later,
she broke into laughter. “What’s wrong? Do you think I’m going to splash it
on you? Don’t worry. I’m not narrow-minded, so I won’t let the wine come
into close contact with your face.”
Although she did nothing, her tone was weird.
Elaine’s expression darkened at that. Just as she was ready to flare up,
Claudia placed her hand on the woman’s shoulder and sent her a signal.
Only then did Elaine calm down, but she pursed her lips with displeasure
as a hint of gloominess flashed across her eyes.
“I’m sorry, Victoria. I’ll apologize on her behalf. She didn’t mean it. Will you
forgive her?”

Hearing that, Victoria smiled. “Sure. I’m magnanimous, after all.”
Claudia was rendered speechless while balling up her fists. She’s such a
b*tch!
All of them were ready to watch a good show the moment the blonde
woman beside Claudia started mocking Victoria. They were not
disappointed, as they had indeed witnessed a good show. The only
problem was that the show lacked the long-anticipated intensity.
Victoria, who was Alaric’s wife, was too calm. They felt like even though
Elaine was haughty, Victoria could easily destroy her and render her
unable to keep making a scene. They secretly chastised Elaine’s
foolishness. If she had been more adept at arguing, the show would’ve
been more interesting.
Just as they assumed the show had come to an end, Elaine appeared
agitated as she said through clenched teeth, “Claudia has apologized to

you, Victoria. Why are you still putting on an act?”
Hearing that, Victoria shot her a glance. “She told me to forgive you, and I
did. How am I putting on an act? Weren’t you the one who said I wasn’t
narrow-minded?”
“You!” Elaine was at a loss for words for a moment before sneering. “So
what if I’ve said it? You’ve been occupying Alaric for many years. Claudia is
magnanimous enough not to settle the score with you, but it doesn’t
mean we have to put up with it as well.”
“Oh?” Victoria arched her brow and put on a smile. “Are you saying Claudia
has been putting up with it? Is that what she told you?”
“Of course not!

“In that case, why are you trying to imply that she has been putting up
with my relationship with Alaric? Are you slandering your friend?”

Victoria remained calm and collected. She had been in the business world
for years, so her logic was impeccable when she argued with Elaine. She
could also make the woman embarrass herself.
On the other hand, Elaine had made a fool out of herself because of her
stu pidity. Her fury got the better of her as she yelled and tried to grab
Victoria. Since she couldn’t win the argument, she decided to lay a hand
on Victoria.
At that moment, she had forgotten that she was Claudia’s friend. She just
wanted to teach Victoria a lesson.
“You b-”
With a gloomy expression, Alaric slammed his glass on the table with a
bang.
