Chapter 807
Astrid did not respond and stared blankly at the ceiling above her, feeling utterly disheartened. Tuckercontinued,
“Actually, you should blame Caridee if you have to. All your misfortunes are because of her. Shaunwouldn't have been fixated on her if she didn't provoke him. If she didn't cripple Shuan, he wouldn'thave hated her. So, you can blame her. It's her fault that you became her substitute.”
Astrid's fingers hanging by her side twitched slightly, gradually clenching into a fist.
Caridee... The pain inflicted upon me today, I will surely return it to you tenfold in the future.
Astrid's entire life was completely ruined.
The only thing she wanted to do for the rest of her life was to skin and debone the person who hadcaused her such misery and burnt the person into ashes.
Astrid would never let Caridee have a peaceful end. It would either be her death or her downfall in thefuture.
“Get out.”
A hoarse and dry voice, filled with intense grief and anger, sounded like a ferocious ghost roaring as itcrawled out from the eighteenth level of hell.
Upon hearing that voice, Tucker felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Even though the air conditioningwas switched on inside the room, Tucker still felt a bone-chilling cold. Indeed, a woman with pent-up
hatred in her heart was the most terrifying.
“I'm warning you again! After removing the gauze, go and serve the Carter family obediently.Otherwise, I'll make sure everyone from the Adley family dies a tragic death.”
Astrid clenched her fists tightly until her nails dug into her flesh, oozing fresh blood.
I'll take good care of Shaun. Although he's a good-for-nothing, he still holds significant power. Perhaps Ican use the Carter family's influence to get revenge and let Caridee live a life worse than death!
“Get lost...”
Tucker left without uttering another word. In the top-floor office of LG Corporation in Hallsbay, Victoriawalked into the CEO's office with high heels under the secretary's lead. Victoria was dressed in a blackbusiness suit and holding a proposal. With her burgundy short hair, she exuded exceptionalcompetence and astuteness.
“Did you see that? That's Mr. Gezmond's ex-wife.” novelbin
“She's so charming. It's no wonder she has captured the heart of Mr. Gezmond. At least, I know I won'tbe able to possess such an aura even after decades of cultivation.”
“It's such a pity that the perfect match between a man and a woman was ultimately torn apart due totheir families' grudges.”
“Well, it's not necessarily the case. Look, heaven has given them another chance to spend time
together. Who knows? While discussing their collaboration, they'll rekindle an old flame!”
“Everyone, avoid going near the CEO's office these few days. If you accidentally bump into Mr.Gezmond and Mr. Saunders doing something in there, you may get terminated if you disturb them.”
“Right, right, right! You've made a good point.”
As Victoria walked by, she heard all the surrounding chatter.
Victoria's lips curved into a light smile as she teased the chief secretary beside her, “LG Corporation isan international conglomerate. I assumed the internal management would be very strict. I neverthought there could be much time to gossip during work hours. Today has been quite an eye-opener.You guys have a great office atmosphere.”
The chief secretary was stunned for a moment, quickly glanced around, and successfully made theclerks peeking out with their heads retreat. She grinned and said, “It may be because of Ms. Saunders'charm that they are envious. Ms. Saunders, we've arrived at the CEO's office. Mr. Gezmond is still in ameeting, expected to end in about five minutes. You wouldn't mind waiting for a bit, would you?”
Victoria nodded and replied, “I came here to seek collaboration with Mr. Gezmond. So naturally, I canwait.” The chief secretary pushed open the door to the CEO's office and gestured for Victoria to enter.
As Victoria strolled in, her field of vision suddenly broadened. The spacious office, spanning severalhundred square meters, was incredibly luxurious and roomy. The interior was adorned with top-notchdecorations, making it a feast for the eyes.
That was just the scale of a branch. It was rumored that the CEO's office at LG Corporation
headquarters was extravagant, reflecting the grandeur and magnificence of the world's largest mediacompany.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Victoria could gaze at half of Hallsbay.
That building was a landmark second only to Luther Group, with one in the south and the other in thenorth, echoing each other at a distance.
Once, while Victoria was with Bailey on Mount Hallor overlooking the entire Hallsbay, she marveled atthose two majestic buildings. Now, one became the wife of the CEO of Luther Group, while the other...
Victoria was once the wife of the CEO of LG Corporation.
“Sorry, I had an urgent meeting and couldn't get away. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.”
A familiar voice appeared behind her, causing Victoria's body to stiffen slightly. Her fingers hanging byher side trembled uncontrollably for a second. After a few seconds of silence, Victoria turned aroundwith a smile and exchanged glances with the man who walked in through the door.
In an instant, Victoria quickly averted her gaze, nodded, and said, “It's already an honor for me that Mr.Gezmond could spare some time to meet me despite your busy schedule.”
Lionel beamed without saying a word, walked over to the water dispenser, poured a glass of warmwater, and handed it to Victoria.
Victoria took a sip and then placed the glass on the coffee table.
She reached out to grab the proposal on the table and said with a smile, “Mr. Gezmond, this is theproposal for Saunders Group's new product. I know that LG Corporation only promotes products thathave the potential to become a hit.
Over the years, all the products LG Group have marketed have become internationally popularbestsellers.”
Victoria continued, “This time, the jewelry designed by Gezmond Group incorporates many newelements, among which the traditional-style design carries the profound historical heritage of ourcountry, making it truly distinctive. I have already included the design concept, product selling points,and sample drafts in the proposal. Please take a look first. If there're any issues, I'll make theappropriate adjustments.”
After Victoria finished speaking, she handed Lionel the proposal she was holding.
Lionel reached out to take it, but instead of opening it to read right away, he stared at the glass cup onthe table and remained silent.
Victoria looked in the direction of Lionel's gaze and saw him staring at the glass cup in front of him. Shecould not help but be taken aback.
Could there be something mysterious about this cup?
Victoria picked up the cup with a hint of suspicion, feeling the warmth in her hand. It was freezingoutside, and Victoria had recently suffered a miscarriage, causing her body to be weak.
When she walked to LC Corporation, her hands flushed due to the cold.
Even with the heater on indoors, the chilliness in Victoria's fingers could not be dispelled.
So, he poured this glass of water not for me to drink but to warm my hands?
When Victoria looked up, she saw Lionel had already shifted his gaze, leaning against the back of thecouch and browsing through the proposal. That further confirmed her speculation.
This man...
Victoria's eyes felt a little watery, so she slowly turned to look out the window.
If there were no family feuds between them, perhaps they would still be the most intimate couple in theworld now. However, fate played tricks on people. Their destiny, ultimately, reached its end.
“Ms. Saunders, hasn't anyone told you that you shouldn't simply show the prototype of a new productto others?”
The slightly cold voice of Lionel reached Victoria's ears and interrupted her wandering thoughts.
“Oh? Why can't I show you the prototype of the new product?”
Lionel frowned, tossed the proposal onto the coffee table, and replied indifferently, “The design of thenew product is your company's top secret. Aren't you afraid I'll leak it if you easily show it to me?”
Victoria retorted, “You won't!” Lionel asked in a deep voice, “What makes you think I won't?”
