Returning to her residence, Carl glanced at his phone and grinned, "Oh dear, Jack has finally arrived! I'll head back to my room, don't want to disturb you two!"
Victoria found it strange, "Who said you're bothering us?"
Carl proudly replied, "I know you doesn't mind, but I have my principles; I don't want to be a third wheel!"
Victoria sighed.
Carl mysteriously approached, teasing, "Jack definitely doesn't want me to be a third wheel either."
Victoria sighed again as Carl quickly slipped away, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Mai rubbed her forehead and walked to the window. From here, she could see the beautiful scenery of the villa.
The resort's view was undeniably impressive.
Victoria enjoyed the scenery for a while before turning her gaze to the room. The lone bed caught her attention, making her heart skip a beat.
Just then, there was a knock on the room door.
Jack was back.
His handsome features, especially in a white shirt, exuded elegance.
He casually raised his hand and tugged on his tie.
From the knuckles of his fingers to the slightly protruding Dempsey's apple, every inch of his body emanated a refined aura.
Noticing Victoria's gaze fixated on him, Jack raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Why is little Victoria staring at me?"
Hearing this, Victoria's earlobes reddened and her eyes widened in embarrassment, "Don't call me that."
He tore off his tie and said, "Alright, why have you been staring at me?"
Victoria gazed at him. Her long and thin eyelashes trembled. She cleared her throat nervously, "That...Dempsey's video, thank you."
When Jack heard this, his eyes suddenly became cold.
After checking the surveillance, he watched the video.
When he saw Victoria shielding Dempsey from the falling chandelier with her body, and bleeding so much from the injury, his heart clenched. He would rather suffer this for her.
How could Dempsey let her suffer such a serious injury? How could he allow her to go through so much pain to protect him?
Jack stretched his leg and walked over. He raised his hand and touched her back. The pity in his eyes was evident, "Does it a lot?"
Victoria was stunned. It took a few seconds for her to realize where he touched with his finger was exactly the same spot the chandelier shards had pierced into her body when she carried Dempsey on her back.
Victoria's heart tightened when she met the man's dark and soft gaze.
She gently shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore. There's not even a scar now."
The man looked down at her, his long eyelashes hanging down, half covering the tender emotions in his eyes.
He took out an exquisite and small hollow wooden box from his trousers pocket. After opening the lid, there was a beautiful and unique bracelet inside.
On the slender silver bracelet, there were two jade stones that were similar in shape to red beans.
The color of the two jade stones was very unique.
Jack pulled her wrist and put the red jade bracelet on her white and slender wrist.
“What is this?" Victoria blinked her eyes with curiosity laced on her face.
Why did he suddenly give her a bracelet?
