Terrance didn’t move and only asked quietly after some time, “Mr. Cadogan, do you
really want to be discharged? You haven’t fully recovered yet.”
Alaric’s expression turned sour. “Don’t you see that a certain someone doesn’t care
at all and told me to get discharged?”

Terrance blinked once, then once more. “Nope, you were the one that got angry and
wanted to be discharged. Miss Selwyn said nothing of the sort.”
Alaric was speechless.
“Besides, if you hadn’t asked why Miss Selwyn brought you food, she wouldn’t have
told you about it today.”

Alaric’s expression darkened as Terrance went on. “What about tomorrow or the day
after that?”
“Mr. Cadogan, as I see it, you shouldn’t have said anything if you wanted to continue
seeing Miss Selwyn. We can’t bring things out into the open. You are the one who
wanted to pursue her, so if you keep behaving like this, can you manage to woo
her?”

Chapter 257 Angry
After being acquainted for several days, Terrance was daring enough to give advice
to his superior. He had noticed that if his suggestions regarding Alaric and Victoria
were beneficial, Alaric wouldn’t get angry at him.

True enough, Alaric fell silent after that. Terrance knew that Alaric had taken it in
and couldn’t help feeling somewhat victorious. Terrance might be more experienced
in dealing with women than his boss.
In the afternoon, Victoria arrived at the hotel at the agreed time. After her arrival, she
didn’t enter but sat down on the couch in the hotel lobby. She didn’t bring much
luggage since she planned on taking the plane home tomorrow.
As for the children, she had entrusted them to Fiona. Victoria and Fiona hadn’t
contacted each other much recently but Fiona had immediately taken up the
responsibility after hearing that Victoria needed help so that Victoria could focus on
her tasks. As a result, the animosity between them had dissipated slightly as well.
Victoria took out her phone to check the time. She had arrived a few minutes earlier
and waited for two minutes before sending Terrance a message.
‘Mr. Levane, have you come downstairs yet?’

Victoria was stunned for several seconds before realizing that something might
have gone wrong. She kept away her phone and grabbed her purse before going
upstairs. She had come here before and so knew Alaric’s room well. Soon, she
arrived at the entrance.
After some thought, she pressed the doorbell. It was some time before someone
came to open the door.
Terrance was taken aback when he saw her. “Miss Selwyn, why have you come up

His eyes avoided hers. “N-Nothing.”
His guilty expression made her frown and her tone became stern. “What actually
happened?”
“Nothing happened, really. Why don’t you wait for another few minutes, Miss
Selwyn?”
She didn’t care about what he said anymore and went past him to go inside the
room.

“Miss Selwyn! Wait.” Terrance tried to stop her frantically but couldn’t get there in
time since she was too fast. He could only shout in panic behind her. “Miss Selwyn,
Mr. Cadogan is just changing his clothes.”
“Really?”
