President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Daniel harbored deep disgust for Kevin, especially since Kevin had run off with several hundred thousand dollars from a client, causing significant operational challenges for the company. Now, not only does Victoria have dealings with Jonathan, but also doesn’t attend important banquets for Kevin’s sake, Daniel couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment. Victoria had nothing to say; she realized that with Daniel’s view on the matter, borrowing money from him now seemed unlikely.

“Dad, I didn’t skip the banquet solely because of Kevin. Nick got injured trying to save me, and I accompanied him to the hospital,” Victoria explained. Daniel squinted his eyes; Victoria wouldn’t use this incident to deceive him. He sighed in relief, feeling somewhat better.

“It’s good that it’s not just because of Kevin. I thought you had a better sense of priorities. You should keep your distance from their family. Alexia is also quite problematic, and Jonathan and Ellie are still treating her like a treasure. Sooner or later, there will be trouble with them.” Daniel said.

Victoria actually agreed with this point. However, the most pressing issue at the moment was the eight million dollars. Seeing Daniel’s improved mood, Victoria considered bringing up the idea of buying a compensatory gift for Nick as a way to ask for a loan. Before she could speak, Daniel’s phone rang.

Glancing at the number, Daniel’s eyes showed a trace of disgust, but he still answered. “What is it?”

Ellie’s voice sounded hesitant. “Daniel, I know you still resent our family for what happened before, but I’m in a desperate situation now. Alexia recently damaged someone’s expensive car, and they’re demanding eight million in compensation. Tori told me not to worry, but I can’t wait any longer. Daniel, could you lend me the money? I’ll pay you back once I sell the house…”

Daniel was furious, his heart pounding. “Eight million?! Tori told you not to worry? Does she even have that kind of money? Ellie, let me tell you, with such absurd situations, don’t expect me to help!”

“Alexia…”

Ellie’s voice was hoarse, but before she could finish, Daniel hung up the phone. Daniel looked at Victoria with a stern expression. Victoria frowned; she had already informed Ellie that Alexia would be released in a few days, and she would take care of the rest. Calling Daniel at this point seemed unnecessary and disrupted her plans.

“Dad…”

“If you help them pay the eight million, forget about the shares. I won’t let you spend money on them. Also, return the card I gave you last time.”

Victoria’s eyes showed disbelief, but she didn’t say anything, silently handing the card back to him.

“How much did you spend?”

“Two hundred thousand.”

“On what?”

“Bought cufflinks for Nick.”NôvelDrama.Org content.

Upon hearing this response, Daniel’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he hesitated before offering the card back. Victoria didn’t take it; feeling humiliated, she lowered her gaze and said, “No need.”
