Chapter 84
All colors drained from Victoria’s face. “I wouldn’t dare.”
She quickly supported herself to get up from the ground. Unfortunately, as she had been kneeling for a long time, she staggered
a little, but Christian managed to catch her in time, helping her to stabilize herself.
A faint scent of men’s cologne washed over her, making her take a few steps forward in order to hastily leave that warm
embrace.
“Thanks, Mr. Thatcher.”
“Sure.” Christian lowered his gaze and retracted his hand, rubbing his thumb, index, and middle fingers together for a moment
before he dropped his hand to his side.
At this moment, Vincent was still kneeling on the ground.
Victoria was concerned for his well-being, so she went over to help him up after hesitating for a long time. “Vince... Come on.
Let’s get you up.”
“I’ll just keep kneeling here, and I won’t get up until Christian agrees to let you go!” Vincent shoved her hand away and insisted
on kneeling on the ground.
Victoria squatted down with difficulty and said softly, “He doesn’t care about you at all. Even if you were to kneel here your whole
life, he wouldn’t agree to let me go. On the contrary, you will displease him even more, which might aggravate his treatment
toward me.”
Vincent’s eyes widened when he heard her remarks, making him look ridiculous as there were still blood stains on his face.
Then, he held her hand and stood up.
Victoria just shot him a bitter smile.
Even death did not scare her now, but Christian used her brother to threaten her.
Vincent was not a person to be afraid of anything, but he was scared that Christian might torture her. That caused the siblings to
become each other’s weaknesses..

The four of them stopped talking. The atmosphere in the hospital ward was strange and oppressive.
A moment later, Evelyn rubbed her temples, and the wrinkles by her eyes appeared more evident. “Get a doctor to bandage
Vince’s head up. Tori, make sure to rest. Chris and I will be going back now.”
Victoria lowered her head submissively as she saw the two out to the elevator. Her tense figure finally relaxed when the elevator

doors finally closed. But, by now, her limbs were already sore.
“Are your legs hurting?” When Vincent noticed her swaying due to exhaustion, he immediately came to help her.
However, Victoria just shrugged him away and headed back to the hospital ward without any expression on her face. Vincent
wiped the blood on his head, rubbed on his shirt, and followed behind her dejectedly.
“What are you doing?” When Vincent was about to enter the ward, Victoria closed the door from the inside. He pushed the door
in a hurry to prevent her from locking it.
“What are you doing?” When Vincent was about to enter the ward, Victoria closed the door from the inside. He pushed the door
in a hurry to prevent her from locking it.
Victoria stood at the door, licking her cracked lips as she said, “Go home. Don’t look for me next time.”
“Go back? To where?” Vincent asked, wiping the blood from his head while it bled. “Dad kicked me out of the house. So I’ll be
living with you.”
She frowned when she looked at the wound on his forehead. “You are incapable of doing anything. I can’t sustain your life with
that little money I make. Go get your wound treated and go home.”
“I don’t need you to sustain my life. I brought my wallet when I left, and there are over ten million dollars in my bank account. It’s
enough for us to use for some time. I’m sure Dad and Mom won’t bear to freeze my bank account.”
Nevertheless, she still blocked the door, unmoving. “Vince...”
“Are you mad because of what I said earlier about not acknowledging you as my sister anymore?” He smiled and ruffled her hair;
his adoration for her was written all over his gaze as he said cautiously, “I’m sorry. Don’t take my words to heart. I only said it
because I was angry.”
The way Vincent was acting suffocated Victoria. She felt like a fish out of water, and it was becoming hard for her to breathe.

She avoided his doting gaze and said ruthlessly, despite how it broke her heart, “Go home. Please don’t look for me next time,
and I hope you live a happy life with your wife.”
His gaze locked on her while his smile diminished by the second.
“Remember to get your wound treated before you leave. It’ll be bad if you have a scar like I do.” She looked up at him and forced
a smile. Under the bright sunlight, the scar at the end of her eyebrow was more apparent to one’s eye.
He swallowed hard. A few drops of blood dripped to the corner of his lips. It was sweet yet salty at the same time. “Who is going
to protect you when I leave? Who will do that?”
Initially, his voice was soft, but he practically roared his words toward the end of his sentence.
“You can’t protect me even if you’re here.” Her expression was composed, yet her words were harsh. “You’re not on Christian’s

level, so what can you do for me? Even if it were Lucas and Bella who wanted to do anything to me, there’s nothing you can do
either.”
Some of the blood droplets on Vincent’s face were starting to dry up, and the fresh ones would cover them up. His mouth opened
as he panted heavily.
“You won’t be able to protect me by staying here. On the contrary, you’d only cause trouble for me, just like how you were at
Delta club the other time and the incident today. You think you’re helping me when you’re only adding two more problems to my
plate! You’re only making my life more difficult,” Victoria said calmly.
Vincent held his chest and leaned on the wall by the door lifelessly. “Tori, am I so... useless in your heart?”
“Yes.” She looked right into his eyes, forcing herself to be mean. “Vince, I’m begging you. .com fast updatePlease don’t
look for me anymore. It’s already draining enough for me to face Christian and the others’ harsh treatments every day. If you
cause more trouble for me, I don’t think I can handle it.”
Her words seemed to be the sharpest knife in the world, each and every one of them stabbing right at Vincent’s heart, leaving no
spots untouched.
He clenched his hands into tight fists, saying, “I’ll leave after taking my clothes.”
He could not stop his voice from trembling.

“Okay.” Victoria moved to the side.
Vincent walked over to the couch and picked up his blazer. Unfortunately, when he was putting it on, he accidentally swept his
hand over the gift box on the bed.
The gift box fell to the ground, revealing the clothes inside.
It was already too late when Victoria wanted to pick it up because he had already seen everything.
He said nothing else and just walked over to the door, where he stopped for a while to look at her and said seriously, “Tori, wait
for me. I’ll do all I can to protect you.”
“Go home now.” Victoria approached him and pushed him out of the room. As soon as the door slid shut, she leaned on it and
slumped to the ground.
She hugged her knees to her chest, her hands covering her face.
She did not let out a single sound from the start till the end.
On the other hand, a Bentley was moving along the roads. Although it was a luxury car, it still could not avoid being stuck in
traffic and moving slowly, just like the other cars.
“Tori’s birthday is on the 28th of September. That’s a few days away from today,” Evelyn said as she looked at the car in front of
them.
There was heavy traffic, and the car had to stop. With a hand on the steering wheel, Christian nodded lightly.
“She can’t return to the Coleman’s Residence, so I was thinking of asking her to stay at our place for some time after she gets
discharged from the hospital. She can leave after we celebrate her birthday. What do you think?” Evelyn asked.
