Chapter 845 Victoria, I'm Always Ready for You
"Can we go home now?"
Victoria looked at Daisy for a long time, but in the end, she just turned to Alexander beside her and asked softly.
Alexander immediately started the car, never once looking directly at Daisy.
Daisy watched in disbelief as their car passed right by her.
She couldn't believe she had humbled herself to this extent, and yet Victoria remained unmoved and said nothing.
Isabella said Victoria was a master of manipulation, and it seemed Isabella was right.
Daisy couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
The wind was chilly, but it couldn't compare to the coldness of her wounded heart.
Daisy got into her car, and the driver set off for their destination: the courthouse.
Daisy was getting married.
If she didn't marry, Bryant Group would fall.
No matter how unwilling she was, she couldn't let the Bryant family lose everything.
But this hatred, she kept it in her heart.
Jerome found her a boy from a previously well-off family that had now gone bankrupt, someone around her age.
But that man wasn't entirely a match for her.
Evening, at the club.
When Alexander entered the private room, Benjamin and Edward had already had some drinks.
Edward looked at Alexander, "I thought you were going to bail."
Alexander did want to bail, but Victoria kept a close watch on him at home, so he had to come out.
This way, she could relax, and he could too.
Alexander sat inside, lost in thought, and placed his phone on the table.
Seeing this, Benjamin asked, "Are you waiting for Victoria's call?"
"No, I'm just afraid of losing it."
Alexander explained nonchalantly.
Edward thought he was lying but asked about another important matter, "I heard Daisy married Elliot. Is that true?"
"I just heard about it too."
Alexander leaned over to pour himself a drink and filled their glasses as well.
"Daisy is quite bold, daring to drug Victoria and quickly getting married," Benjamin said.
Alexander looked at him, "Sounds like you admire her?"
"I'm firmly on your side, no doubt about that. But haven't you heard? Elliot doesn't like women."
Edward immediately perked up, his big eyes staring intently at Benjamin.
He was truly shocked; he didn't know.
Alexander, upon hearing this, instinctively looked at his phone again.
'Will Victoria be unable to resist calling me?'
'After all, the effects of the drug on her should not have worn off yet.'
When Edward's phone rang, Alexander instinctively looked over.
Seeing the word "Honey" on the screen, Edward arrogantly cleared his throat and mumbled, "What's up, honey?"
"Come back."
"Didn't you tell me to get lost?"
"If you're not home in thirty minutes, I'll have sex with someone else."
"Got it, I'll be back in twenty."
Edward said as he ran out.
Benjamin couldn't help but squint, looking at him with a smirk, "What's going on?"
When Edward arrived, he was furious, looking like he wouldn't talk to Olivia for a while.
Alexander just felt sad watching this.
His phone remained silent.
Benjamin turned to look at him, "Can't you call her first?"
"No need, she's playing chess with my grandma. She won't be free for a while."
Alexander spoke calmly, raising his glass to toast with Benjamin.
Benjamin sighed helplessly and had several more drinks with him.
Then Benjamin's phone rang, too.
Seeing the caller ID, Benjamin's face lit up, and he looked at Alexander, "Should I call William to come over?"
"Why call him?"
"He's probably free at home. I can ask him to keep you company?"
Alexander frowned.
Benjamin's words were a clear sign he was leaving.
He had been there for less than half an hour, and now both of them were leaving.
Alexander sighed in frustration but didn't ask Benjamin to bother William.
After Benjamin left, Alexander was alone in the private room. He poured himself a drink but had no interest in drinking.
It wasn't until after eleven that his phone finally lit up.
Alexander quickly leaned over to grab his phone.
[Come home early.]
It was Arabella.
Seeing Arabella's message, Alexander leaned back on the sofa in frustration.
'Why wouldn't Victoria contact me?'
'Could she hold out with her physical condition?'
Near midnight, he finally grabbed his coat and left the private room.
He drove back, getting out from the back.
The house was already dimly lit with just two wall lamps on.
He walked upstairs slowly, the silence around him making him nervous.
But this was his home.
The master bedroom was, unsurprisingly, locked.
Alexander stood at the door, gently letting go of the doorknob, then sighed deeply.
He knew Victoria wouldn't open the door for him.
[Strawberry has a fever, what's going on?]
Soon, Victoria received this message on her phone, and she immediately got up to open the door in a panic.
Opening the door, she saw a broad chest in front of her and looked up, "Strawberry has a fever?"
"Let me in first, and I'll explain."
"What?"
Before Victoria could react, he had already grabbed her wrist and walked in, closing the door behind him.
Then, she found herself pressed against the wall.
Alexander placed one hand on the wall beside her ear and gently held her wrist with the other, his voice low and seductive, "You're still so easy to fool."
Victoria realized she had been tricked but, trying to get angry, found herself moving closer to him. She had no choice but to stay against the wall, "Don't go too far. It's not right to lie about Strawberry's health."
He easily silenced her with a kiss.
Victoria lowered her head, not daring to look at him. Just looking at him aroused her.
It seemed this wasn't over yet.
Alexander's gaze was filled with tenderness, his sexy Adam's apple moving as he softly murmured, "I'm so jealous. Edward was called home by Olivia after just five minutes."
Victoria looked at him in confusion, her clear eyes meeting his.
"Why won't you call me?"
He asked softly again.
"Why should I? I don't need you."
Victoria mumbled defiantly.
"Really? You'd rather knock yourself out than have sex with me?"
Victoria lowered her head, remembering that night.
Fortunately, the bruise on her head was long gone.
Alexander suddenly cupped her face, looking at her with deep, passionate eyes, "Victoria, I'm always ready for you."
