Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Charlie shook.

Victoria had wanted to say those words for a long time, but kept it all in without daring to let them out.

Now, blurting it all out, she felt her chest clear as she wrung her hand loose and walked to the side.

She took a deep breath, feeling her eyes sting. She kept the tears down by force.

She chuckled self-deprecatingly. “And stop hanging on to those things from five years ago. A lot can change in five years. Who says I’ll be willing to be with you now? I stopped loving you a log time ago. Oh, and you don’t know, do you? I have a boyfriend now. He’s great to me, so you don’t have to worry about my future.”

Charlie’s pupils shrank.

“What did you say?”

Victoria turned to him, thrusting out her chest and saying confidently, “I said I have a boyfriend now. His name’s Max and he’s the young master of the Nixon family of Eqitin. You must have heard of him, right? That’s the kind of opportunistic woman I am. If you Stevensons can’t have me, I’ll find some other backer instead of dying on your tree.”

Charlie laughed coldly.

He nodded again and again.

“Good. That’s very good.”

His eyes grew bloodred, shining with dark, cold light.

Victoria clenched her fists and growled, “Then you can leave now, can’t you!”

But the man didn’t leave. Instead, he approached her.

And he pushed her up against the wall.

Victoria started, glaring at him. “What are you doing, Charlie? I’m warning you, this is my home! If you do anything out of turn, my father won’t let you go!”

“What am I doing?” Charlie gritted his teeth. “You think you can lie to me like that? You think that I’m as stupid as you imagine, stupid enough to spin around in the palm of your hand?”

Victoria’s face changed.

“L-Let me go.”

“No!”

One of his hands shot out and clamped down on her chin.
