Chapter 81: Just a Product of Exchange of Benefits
Alexia’s voice was loud and uncurbed.
Nick paused in his steps, the emotion in his eyes uncertain, a light sneer spreading across the corners of his mouth.
He remembered that Victoria had said earlier that she had an excellent relationship with her husband.
Turned out she was not happily married.
But if the marriage was unhappy, she could have chosen to end it, but she didn’t get divorced like that, what did it mean?
She loved that man?
Victoria looked at the unbelievable Alexia in front of her and just felt upset and just took out her cell phone and called Jonathan’s number.
There was no answer on the other side, and she was instantly a little anxious.
The temperature outside was getting warmer and Jonathan was walking alone, even if he passed out on the side of the road from heatstroke no one would know.
“Alexia, you’re coming with me to pick up my uncle.”
Alexia rolled her eyes, “I’m not going unless you give me a hundred thousand dollars.”
Victoria even thought she was hallucinating, what a thick skin to say something like that.
Her eyes glazed over, “Say that again?”
Alexia looked up and was going to say it again to Victoria, but when she came into contact with the chill under her eyes, she suddenly became a little afraid to speak, and her words became stuttered, “You … What do you want?”
Victoria had kind of seen how she was a bully.
“Just because my aunt and uncle tolerate you doesn’t mean I will, and you’d better not let me find out anything.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
A flash of weakness crossed Alexia’s eyes, but then she straightened her chest.
“Don’t threaten me here! What’s the matter with me? Hasn’t your family victimized me enough? I married your cousin, he left me alone, said he’d always take care of me, but it was all bullshit, it was your whole family that did me wrong all along!”
Victoria also stopped pestering her and drove off to find Jonathan.
She called Jonathan while driving slowly down the road she had gone, but there had been no answer.
Anxious in her heart, she drove out for half an hour and saw Jonathan passed out on the side of the road.
“Uncle!”
Victoria, startled, rushed to take the water with her and poured it over his face.
Jonathan slowly was awake and saw it was her, his lips stuttered twice but he didn’t have the strength to speak.
Victoria helped him to the car, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Jonathan sat in the passenger side and just felt the world shake before his eyes.
“Tori, don’t fight with Alexia. What happened between her and your cousin, it’s us who have wronged her. Your cousin is confused ah. Let him go to work in your father’s company, he actually dared to run away with hundreds of thousands of dollars from his clients! He also dared to go gambling, lost that more than a million dollars, your aunt and I have been paying back the loan sharks, Alexia followed us, always being gossiped about by the neighbors….”
Victoria squeezed her hands on the steering wheel and just felt helpless.
It was a fact that her cousin swiped money from the company’s clients and almost cost her family a couple of very important projects.
When her father was willing to help Jonathan for his wife’s sake, he didn’t think his son would be so bold.
After that there was a complete break in communication, with only Jonathan asking a few questions every time Victoria came to visit her grave.
But Daniel really hated the Jonathan family, which was why he looked so bad when he knew she and Jonathan were going to meet.
“I’ll apologize to Alexia if she says anything nasty. I’m so old too. I just want everyone to live in peace now.”
Victoria felt inexplicably bad as she listened.
It seemed that no matter who was, she wasn’t the one who ended up being chosen.
Dad chose Cynthia and Uncle chose Alexia.
Once her mom left, she completely became the one who would always be sacrificed, and even the marriage, which was much talked about by outsiders, was just a product of the exchange of benefits.
Everything was for the Blackwell family.
