Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Victoria Was Humiliated 

Standing outside the door of le Charme, Ella called her driver to come and pick her up. 

Ella glared at Victoria with disdain as she hung up the phone and said, "I can tolerate that you're a little scheming and love to show off. But, Victoria, what you did to Adeline was immoral! Legally speaking, you'll be punished for your actions. You have totally let me down. I hope you won't call me again in the future." 

Ella walked away without looking back. 

Those women who had been left behind exchanged glances before shouting at Ella's back. 

"Ella, please give us a ride." 

"By the way, I know there's a nice country food restaurant around here. How about we have dinner there?" 

Those women caught up with Ella, leaving Victoria standing in place with a grim face. 

Victoria could hear those women talking about her as they walked away. 

"Was that girl Victoria's daughter-in-law before?" 

"Yeah! Oh, you just noticed that?" 

"Oh, my God! Victoria got humiliated in front of her ex-future daughter-in-law! I bet she's going to lose her mind from anger." 

Victoria was so angry that she couldn't control her expression. She angrily dialed Kevin Baker's number after getting into her car. 

Victoria got right to the point after Kevin answered the phone, saying, "Someone is checking your bank account." 

Kevin was still in the hospital despite his dislocated jaw had healed. His chubby frame shook with nervous excitement as he asked, "Who are you?" 

"Well, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that we have a common enemy." 

"Our common enemy?" Kevin frowned, holding his still-aching jaw, and asked, "Who are you talking about?" 

But he assumed that the man she was referring to was the one who had beaten him up earlier that evening at the restaurant. 

He asked many people to look for who that man was, but he never found any valuable clues. 

"Our common enemy," Victoria said with a sneer, "Is the man who beat you up that day. He's the reason why you're in the hospital now." 

"Who the hell is he? I've been looking for him these days, and I really want to punch him hard in the face! I can't believe he's looking into my bank account!" 

"Kevin, you had better watch your mouth. Adeline's husband is not someone you want to mess with. Have you ever heard of him? He is Curtis Riley, also known as Mr. Riley. Everyone in Prodiff reveres him!" 

"What? Are you talking about Mr. Riley?" said Kevin, stunned with fear. He sat up in bed shivering, his face turning pale. After recalling the man's expression from that night, he believed Victoria's words even more. 

"It's him. Adeline slept with her fiancé's uncle Curtis Riley and then married him. Didn't you all try to assault Adeline once? What are the odds do you think that Curtis will let you off the hook? You should hurry up and figure out how to protect yourself!" 

Kevin broke out in a cold sweat. He asked, "Well... And how should I defend myself, in your opinion?" 

"The solution is quite simple. Find something to use as a threat against Curtis and strike a deal with him. He'll stop investigating you that way." 

Kevin wiped the sweat from his brow and began to ponder. "But I have nothing to threaten him with! People wouldn't be afraid of Curtis if he were easily threatened!" 

Victoria let out a slow grin, knowing that Kevin was now safely caught in the trap she'd set. "If you have nothing useful to offer, you can make them. Just do what I say. All you have to do is..." 

Kevin hung up his phone after listening to Victoria's advice. He spat on the ground and shouted, "I know you want me to die instead of you, you bitch! You're viperous!" 

He lacked the guts to tell the world that Adeline had slept with her fiancé's uncle. 

He was well aware that Victoria wanted him to take the blame for spreading the word, but he wasn't stupid enough to comply. 

Her other suggestion, on the other hand, sounded pretty solid to him. 

Kevin rubbed his chin and slightly narrowed his eyes. He made a decision and then called a few people to make plans.
