My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 183

Cayden could tell that Russell and Victoria's relationship was not ordinary!

Cayden certainly didn't dare to disobey Arthur's instructions.

He picked up a glass of wine and took the initiative to toast Victoria, "Victoria, I'm really sorry for what happened previously. Why didn't you say earlier that you knew Uncle Russell? If I had known that you and Uncle Russell are so close, I wouldn't have dared to offend you."

"I'll drink this glass of wine. I hope you can forgive me."

Victoria never thought that Cayden, who had always been arrogant and domineering, would apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness.

Seeing that his hand was still bandaged, Victoria said, "No, no, you don't have to apologize to me by toasting to me."

However, although Cayden was injured, he still chugged the wine in one go.

That was also considered giving Russell enough respect.

After drinking, Cayden couldn't help but ask, "Victoria, what exactly is your relationship with Uncle Russell? How did you two get to know each other?"

Victoria obviously couldn't bring herself to reveal their relationship, but she didn't know if she should lie about it.

Russell took the initiative to give her an out. "I am good friends with Victoria's father. Victoria is miserable. Her parents passed away at a young age. As her elder, I can't possibly leave her in the lurch, can I?"

Russell was still trying to pretend to be a loyal and righteous person.

He made himself look like a kind person who had helped his best friend look after his daughter after his death.

However, what really happened?

Russell had slept with his close friend's daughter!

Was that considered taking care of her too?

After a short while, Cayden gave Shane a wink.

Shane suddenly got up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Me too."

Cayden followed Shane out of the private room.

When they arrived in the bathroom, Cayden said to Shane, "What do you think? I think Victoria and Russell definitely don't share a normal relationship between juniors and elders. They must have an affair with each other!"

Shane also agreed with him. "There's no way Victoria could have become the president of Ace Corporation with her own abilities. I've long guessed that she must be backed by a rich person, but I didn't expect it to be Russell."

"Since Russell and Victoria's father are close friends, they must have known each other for a decade or two. Maybe, Victoria became his mistress as early as ten years ago!" "Haha." Cayden laughed, "I think so too! In that case, Victoria has deliberately gone to her old flame for help just to get rid of us."

"Haha, in that case, won't Jordan Steele have to get lost?"

Shane said sneeringly, "Uncle Russell will never let himself be shortchanged. Since he has helped Victoria Clarke today, he'll definitely make her pay him back somehow. I reckoned that she has already served him well."

"Hahahaha, Victoria Clarke is really something! Does this mean that Jordan Steele is being made a cuckold again? Hahaha."

Cayden laughed happily at the thought that Victoria might have cheated on Jordan.

In Cayden's opinion, beating up Jordan was not even as satisfying as having Victoria betray him.

"Come on, let's go in and try to get something out of them again."

Cayden and Shane returned to the private room, where Cayden took the initiative to pick up the bottle of wine and poured some wine for Victoria, which made her feel surprised and flattered.

Cayden said, "Victoria, we didn't know each other previously. Well, you probably don't know that Uncle Russell is like half a father to us. Our families are very close, and from now on, we're like a family."
