Chapter 1187
Victoria then opened her drawer and took out the makeup kit that she had just put away. After carefully
checking her makeup and doing some brief touch–ups, she heard footsteps coming from outside her
office. Suppressing the intense excitement on her face, she put on a natural, charming smile. Why is he
coming here so suddenly? Does he have something to say to me? No matter the reason, she wanted
to present the best of herself to him. Then, the door opened. The moment Ren entered the office, the
door was shut behind him.
With her breathing turning slightly irregular and her heart beating faster, Victoria pointed at the couch
and said, “Ren! Come, have a seat.”
“I’ll be leaving after a few words,” Ren said indifferently.
Victoria’s heart ached briefly as she realized that the man was here for another purpose, and not as a
friend like she originally thought. “Go ahead.” She took a deep breath as she waited for Ren to speak.
“Did you say something to Ruka recently?” Ren asked with his somber gaze on Victoria, his tone
slightly interrogative.
Victoria already had a hunch about what Ren was going to say. Once she confirmed her hunch was
true, her excitement instantly turned into bitterness and sorrow. “Ren, just how inferior to Ruka do you
think I am?” Her eyes welled with tears of resentment and jealousy. She wanted to know from the man
himself why she had lost to Ruka.
“I’m warning you once more: Outsiders have no right to meddle in the affairs between me and Ruka. If
you fill her mind with nonsense behind my back, then you better be ready for the consequences.” Ren
warned Victoria as he glared at her, as though he knew what she had done.
As the color drained from her face, Victoria became as pale as a sheet. In the end, she only let out a
pained choke as she held onto her desk. With a sorrowful gaze, she watched the man about to take his
leave. Reluctant to give up, she cried out to him. “Ren, Ruka is your sister’s goddaughter. Just look at
the age gap between the two of you. If people find out about your relationship with her, your reputation
will be negatively affected. I’m only doing all this for your own good!”
