"The last time I threw you onto the bed, did your waist…" Victor started."No! Absolutely not!" Ariana's eyes widened dramatically.Was Victor being serious? Did he actually think about putting medicine on her waist too?Victor frowned at Ariana's resistance. He didn't understand what she was trying to express.For Victor, applying medicine was just that. Gender wasn't part of the equation.But clearly, Ariana didn't share the same sentiment.It may be medicine, but men and women should still keep their distance."Mr. Smith, Dr. Finch just called and asked if we needed some vegetables since tonight's meal might have a lot of meat." Hunter popped in."No need, just follow Ms. Torrey's menu." Victor hummed."Understood." Hunter nodded.Ariana remembered Simon saying Victor wasn't fond of meaty dishes like her. She thought back to Victor's minimalist hotel setup and how he always ate bland meals at home.She couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Smith, do you have some kind of masochisti

"Your hand is injured. Can you even chop vegetables?" Simon spoke with a serious tone. "As a doctor, I'd advise you to let someone else do it. What if your hand slips and you chop off a finger?"Ariana hadn't considered this. But now that Simon brought it up, she realized it made sense to find someone to help. Naturally, she turned her gaze toward Simon.Seeing her expectant look, Simon immediately raised his hands in defense. "My knife skills aren't as good as Victor's. I'll get him to help you."Without giving her a chance to object, he quickly headed upstairs, wanting nothing to do with the kitchen.Simon knocked on Victor's door upstairs. After receiving no response, he shouted, "Victor, come out! Go downstairs and help Ms. Torrey chop vegetables!"Then, he lowered his voice and muttered, "This is your chance to shine! I worked hard to get this opportunity for you. Hurry up and open the door!"Hunter emerged from the opposite room and cocked a brow at Simon, who was practical

Ariana glanced down at the apron Victor had tied around her waist, dazed.By the time she snapped out of it, Victor had already moved aside and resumed chopping vegetables.Outside, Hunter and Simon acted as if they had seen nothing and headed into the living room to chat.Ariana couldn't help but steal a few more glances at Victor who was focused on cutting the vegetables with precision.His side profile was flawless. Though he usually kept a serious and distant demeanor, he looked dedicated when cooking.No, not just in the kitchen. Whenever he did anything, he was always focused and meticulous.It was just… He gave off an unapproachable aura when he wasn't working."Are you done staring at me?" Victor's sudden remark snapped Ariana out of her thoughts.She cleared her throat. "I was checking if there was something on your face."Victor didn't respond, which gave Ariana the perfect opportunity. She reached out and patted his cheek. It was just a brief touch, but Victor was s

"Who bought the iced tea?" Victor suddenly asked.Simon answered, "I did. We obviously can't drink alcohol when dining with a lady. What if we got drunk and started talking nonsense?"Victor felt speechless.Simon continued, "I'm always looking out for women's safety. Don't worry, Ms. Torrey. You're safe here. After dinner, you can even stay the night and sleep soundly! No one will disturb you."Ariana glanced at Victor. "I couldn't possibly impose. I'd better not trouble you.""Don't worry, there was never a room prepared for you anyway." Hunter's sudden remark killed the mood.He didn't realize what he had said wrong until he noticed Simon glaring at him.Had he messed up?Hunter glanced at Victor next to him. But that was exactly what Victor had instructed.Ariana changed the subject. "By the way, why did you call me here, Mr. Smith? Was it just to give me this ointment?"It would seem excessive if it was only for that."Victor, hurry up and tell Ms. Torrey why you brough

Ariana continued eating leisurely.Eventually, Victor withdrew his gaze. "The result came back empty."Ariana sighed in relief. She knew it. Victor was just trying to mess with her.Simon laughed awkwardly. "It's not funny at all. Victor just loves telling lame jokes. Don't take it to heart, Ms. Torrey.""Of course not, I don't mind." Ariana set down her spoon. "But it's getting late. I should be heading back."Simon quickly stood up. "Already? You don't want to stay a little longer?""No, I have an exam tomorrow. I'd like to go home and rest. Thank you for the ointment, Dr. Finch. I'll leave now." Ariana put on her coat. She was about to leave when Victor also set down his spoon. "I'll take you home.""There's no need." Ariana shook her head."Are you planning to walk home?" Victor cocked a brow.Ariana hadn't driven here. She wouldn't even be able to find the exit without Victor leading the way."… I'll leave it to you, Mr. Smith." Ariana hummed.Since he had brought her

"I'll believe you if you insist you have nothing to do with South Gleaston right before we crash," Victor smirked."You!" Ariana's face fell. How was this any different from coercion?The car lights illuminated the broken bridge ahead. With nowhere to escape, Ariana simply shut her eyes and left it to fate. "Do whatever you want. But I have nothing to do with the South Gleaston plot!"Victor caught Ariana's resigned expression from the corner of his eye and slammed on the brakes right before the car flew over the edge.The car stopped inches from the edge.The impact Ariana had braced for never came. When she opened her eyes, the broken bridge loomed just ahead."You there! I'm talking to you!" Not far away, flashing police lights pierced the darkness.Two officers stepped out of their patrol car. One of them strode toward them with a flashlight in hand.The beam reflected off the car's windows, blinding Ariana."You two! Step out of the vehicle!" The officer's tone was harsh

Because Ariana had just unbuckled her seatbelt, she nearly slammed her head against the dashboard from the sudden acceleration."I'd suggest you buckle up unless you want a concussion." Victor huffed."You!" Ariana fastened her seatbelt without hesitation.The police hadn't expected him to break through their blockade.As soon as Victor sped onto the main road, more patrol cars swarmed in, encircling him again. The sudden roadblock caused a massive traffic jam.This was the busiest area of the city center. If things escalated, the incident would be all over the news the next day.Seeing the flashing lights and blaring horns, Ariana knew she was doomed. She regretted ever getting involved with Victor.Car horns blared as frustrated drivers honked at Victor's car, demanding he move. Meanwhile, officers were preparing to force open the car door.Ariana was nervous. She could only hope this wouldn't turn into a major media spectacle.Meanwhile, at Lodge Co.."What did you say?" B

Before the officer could finish his sentence, the police chief cut him off. "Shut up! Do you even know who's inside that car?""No matter who they are, they should still follow the law!" the officer insisted."Follow the law? Did they even commit a crime? They just drove into a restricted area. No one got hurt, so what's the big deal? Why are you making such a scene?" The chief was frustrated. He quickly stepped forward, waving off the surrounding officers before walking to the side of the car.The car window slowly rolled down.The police chief soon found himself staring directly at Victor.When the chief recognized who it was, his eyelid twitched, and his smile stiffened.The memory of Victor handling those female prisoners at the station was still fresh in his mind. Even now, he felt a lingering fear."Can we leave now?" Victor hummed.The chief swallowed hard and stammered, "Of… Of course.""Good." Victor rolled the window back up.Snapping back to his senses, the chief q

Ariana was still shaken from everything that had happened. Brian blocked her as she reached her apartment and was about to unlock the door.The hallway was empty, and his sudden appearance startled her. "What are you doing here?""You caused such a huge mess today, and you still have the nerve to ask me that?" Brian caged her against the wall. Ariana had no way of breaking free. She gave up and said indifferently, "I wasn't the one who caused the mess. And besides, it didn't affect your company in any way. Let's not forget that you and I are no longer engaged. Even if my reputation is in shambles, it has nothing to do with you."Her nonchalant attitude only made Brian angrier. "I've told you many times to stay away from Victor and that you shouldn't mess with him. Did you even listen to a word I said?"Ariana couldn't understand why Brian was so furious. To her, he was the one she should avoid at all costs, even more than Victor. "Mr. Lodge, we should keep our distance. My busine

Chapter 360

Emily had been hiding in the emergency stairwell the entire time. Only when Ariana entered her apartment did she finally step out. She cautiously approached Brian and asked, "Mr. Lodge, Ms. Torrey…"Before she could finish, Brian turned his anger on her. "Why didn't you inform me that Ariana moved?""I…" Emily was at a loss for words.Didn't Brian order that no one was to report anything about Ariana to him?But faced with an enraged Brian, she had no choice but to lower her head and take the blame. "This was my negligence, Mr. Lodge. I'm sorry.""If this happens again, you can say goodbye to your job." Brian sneered."…Yes, Mr. Lodge." Emily nodded. "But Mr. Lodge, you ordered the principal to change tomorrow's exam questions. What if Ms. Torrey can't graduate because of this?""She only has herself to blame. She shouldn't have taken any shortcuts." Brian took a deep breath. "She'll come to me if she truly wants to graduate.""…Understood." Emily didn't dare say another word.
