Chapter 92 "Give me twenty million dollars, and I'll think about it."
In the coffee shop, Victoria sat in the corner across from Lucas, arms crossed and looking calm. She glanced at him indifferently. "Go ahead, what do you want? Here to defend Clara?"
Lucas looked at her cold, aloof features. "How have you been?"
Victoria raised an eyebrow, confused. "Mr. Tudor, that's none of your business, is it?"
Her aloofness made Lucas uncomfortable, though he wasn't sure why.
After a long pause, Victoria said, "Mr. Tudor, if you have something to ask, just ask. I don't have time for small talk."
Seeing her frown, Lucas knew she was getting impatient.
"Who's that guy around you?" he asked, staring at her. But Victoria stayed calm, showing no emotion.
She answered, "What? Is the Tudor Group going bankrupt? Are you so bored you have to meddle in my life?"
Lucas ignored her harsh words. He just wanted the truth.
"That guy's from the Howard family, right?" he pressed.
Victoria listened without changing her expression and didn't respond.
Seeing her silence, Lucas took it as an admission. He already knew the truth from a photo but couldn't understand why she'd be involved with the Howard family. Their internal situation was complicated. Wasn't she afraid of danger?
"Do you know how dangerous Alexander is? Are you risking your life with him?"
She asked nonchalantly, "How dangerous is he?"
Lucas explained, "The Howard family is full of crises. Do you really think you can handle all that chaos? You have no background, just your mom's company. Do you think the Howards will let you marry Alexander? You're too naive!"
Victoria thought, 'Sorry, but I've already married Alexander.'
"Someone like Alexander? No way he'd actually like you. He's just treating you as a mistress. Why degrade yourself?" Lucas added.
Seeing him so agitated, Victoria thought anyone might think he cared about her. In reality, he was just afraid she'd use the Howard family against them.
Even without the Howard family, she could still reclaim what was owed to her.
"So what?" she asked calmly, with a slight smile.
Lucas earnestly advised, "Break up with him."
Victoria laughed coldly. "Break up? I've finally managed to latch onto him, and you think I'd give up? Mr. Tudor, that's the Howard family. I'm not stupid."
Since he thought she was shamelessly messing around with Alexander, she might as well play along.
She added, "After all, this is something I fought for myself. Asking me to give it up, Mr. Tudor, you're being too much, aren't you?"
Hearing her indirectly admit to being Alexander's mistress, Lucas's eyes darkened, and his tone grew colder. "When did you become so shameless? Are you willing to be a hidden mistress?"
Victoria laughed instead of getting angry, her tone relaxed. "Haven't I always been shameless in your eyes? Besides, why wouldn't I be willing? Maybe I could get a huge breakup fee!"
Lucas shouted, "Victoria, you're simply too shameless."
Victoria replied, "If you can give me $20 million right now, I might consider your suggestion."
