Chapter 442 You Want to Divorce Me
Victoria stood up but didn't move, then slightly raised her head, looking at him pitifully with a frown on her small face.
She pouted, "Darling, it hurts. I think I messed up my back injury. I can't walk; I need help."
Alexander looked at her delicate appearance, and even if he was angry, he couldn't stay mad, only feeling helpless.
Because of her back injury, he couldn't carry her, so he could only support her.
After returning from the bathroom, the tense silence between them eased a bit.
Since he didn't ask, she decided to speak up.
He helped her back to the hospital bed, and just as he was about to return to the sofa, she immediately grabbed his hand.
He looked at her, and she asked, "Are you mad at me?"
Alexander was silent for a moment, not speaking.
She held his hand tighter, afraid he would leave the next second.
Alexander's hand was large, broad, and warm.
He glanced at her without a word, neither moving nor stopping her actions.
She lowered her head slightly, thinking for a while, then said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept this from you. I'm just not used to relying on you for everything, but..."
She paused for a moment, then looked up at him again. "This time, if you hadn't come, I might not be sitting here talking to you now."
Alexander felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his limbs instantly went cold.
Then she said, "It's just that I didn't want to involve you in this, so I never told you."
Her sincere attitude made it hard for him to be harsh with her, mainly because he couldn't bear to.
Alexander asked, "Then why don't you think about why I was there today?"
"What?" She blinked, not having thought about that.
Did he mean he was in that forest at the time?
Her previous words had triggered him; he straightforwardly explained the whole story to her.
Victoria was stunned after hearing it, realizing his target was also the people from 103, possibly because of that batch of gold mines?
She had overheard his conversation with Gideon in his office last time.
Alexander looked at her and asked, "If I hadn't arrived in time, how would you have resolved the crisis then?"
Victoria looked at him, not knowing how to answer. This time, it was indeed her oversight. She had been too arrogant and had underestimated Ronnie after five years; he had become even crazier.
Alexander looked at her helplessly and said, "I told you, I won't interfere with anything you do, but before you do anything, make sure you're safe and tell me. But you still didn't do it this time."
Listening to his lecture, Victoria casually replied, "So, do you want to divorce me because I'm a troublesome person?"
Alexander's lips twitched as he narrowed his eyes at her. "What? Are you trying to piss me off even more?"
His voice, deep and magnetic, carried a dangerous undertone. The sound was captivating, yet it also sent chills down the spine.
She immediately shook her head in denial. "No, I was just joking."
Alexander just raised his hand and gently tapped her forehead, then said, "You don't want to involve me, but I've always wanted to be part of your world."
His implication was clear: he wanted to know everything about her, including her involvement with the 103 organization.
He had investigated but found nothing.
She understood his words.
In fact, she had no secrets from him, except for this matter.
Victoria said, "When I was eighteen, Simon sent me to Country M, and this move helped cover up a lot of things for me. They always thought I was in Country M, but I was actually at the Aidamore border."
"I met Cressida and Chloe because, at sixteen, I went to the Foggy Forest at the border and met them there. Later, only ten of us made it through the Foggy Forest, and we formed a small team of ten. But I didn't stay long and left until I returned to the Aidamore border at eighteen," she added.
Five years ago, the ten of them made a name for themselves at the border of Aidamore, the most chaotic border of all.
There were all kinds of looting, fighting, drug trafficking, and smuggling, but after the ten of them took control,, the border of Aidamore later became peaceful, and everyone did things properly.
The ten of them were also known as the Ghost Ten.
Because every time they appeared, they wore different masks, and no one had ever seen their true faces.
It was only known that among the ten, there were three women and seven men, each with their own specialties.
But such peaceful days didn't last long.
One time, Victoria, George, and Ronan witnessed a brutal and even perverse murder at the border.
At that time, Victoria had already recognized them as people from the 103 organization.
She had only heard of them but had never really encountered them.
After all, they had never crossed paths and didn't affect each other.
If they hadn't acted at the border of Aidamore, she could have ignored it, but since they did, the three of them had to intervene.
At that time, only the three of them were at the border; the others were out.
They dealt with the people from the 103 organization on the spot and found a small notebook. The notebook contained some chemical formulas, and because of this notebook, she discovered the secrets of the 103 organization.
It was also because of this incident that the three of them got involved with the 103 organization.
And once, the three of them went out on a mission together again.
Due to her oversight, she, George, and Ronan fell into Ronnie's trap and were captured at the 103 organization's base.
The 103 organization, rumored to be brutal, violent, and bloody, was all true.
But one thing the outside world didn't know was that they had been secretly researching a drug.
A drug that could mutate people, and they needed to capture a large number of people to experiment with their drug.
And the people they captured were mostly children, which was utterly inhumane.
They were attempting to develop a novel drug capable of altering human genetic cells, potentially transforming individuals into unique beings with unknown 'superpowers.' The specific nature of these abilities remained undetermined.
Because Victoria had studied the chemical formulas in the notebook, she knew that once this drug was developed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therewas no such thing as superpowers in the world; most were just figments of people's imagination.
Once this drug was injected into the human body, it forcibly altered the genetic cells.
Those who could endure it could survive; those who couldn't would die.
Their experiment was halfway through, just missing the content from the notebook she had.
But how could she hand it over?
So, Ronnie used George and Ronan to threaten her.
He injected Ronan with their semi-finished drug and tortured him in various ways in front of her. In just a few days, Ronan had become unrecognizable, his body broken.
She couldn't bear it anymore and finally agreed to give the notebook to Ronnie.
She told Ronnie where the notebook was hidden, and he sent someone to retrieve it, which they did.
But the next day, Ronnie broke his promise.
