Chapter 234 Unexpected Confrontation.
This place was clearly a hub for office workers. Is Morty sure about bringing me here to find Victoria
Hearing this, Morty looked down at Ellis, his face showing curiosity.
“She’s here.”

After a pause, he added, “Her company leases space here.”

Victoria was from a wealthy family; it wasn’t like she needed to work for someone else. Did Morty mean that Victoria owned a company? Are we walking into enemy territory? And without the police, what was Morty thinking?
Ellis’s eyes filled with suspicion as she tilted her head slightly, sizing up Morty. Her expressive eyes almost seemed to speak.
From Morty’s perspective, it was as if her face was asking. What are you up to?”
He explained, “I don’t mean you any harm.
Harmful or not, Ellis hadn’t noticed any. But Morty’s actions were becoming increasingly opaque, like a thick fog.
Ihat was he hiding behind that fog
As they reached the floor, Morty stepped out of the elevator first and led the way
Approaching Victoria’s company, Ellis felt a twinge of hesitation. She didn’t fully trust Morty and was a bit worried he might
stab her in the back.
Finally, looking into Morty’s clear eyes, she decided to go in. Morty seemed like a regular here; no one stopped him, and he moved about freely. Thus, they smoothly made their way to an office door,
The door plaque of the boss’s office was quite conspicuous; she figured Victoria had to be inside.
Morty didn’t knock, he just pushed the door open. At that moment, Victoria was leisurely leaning back in her chair,
Thinking of the slap she had received and the one she had returned to Ellis today, and considering the other troubles Ellis faced, Victoria’s mood was greatly uplifted, a break from her recent gloom as she awaited feedback
However, the office door opened without her permission,
Victoria immediately sat up straight and looked toward the door.
Morty and Ellis were standing there! Ellis’s left cheek was swollen, her appearance a bit disheveled.
Victoria hadn’t anticipated that Morty would bring Ellis to her.
Seeing Ellis in such a sorry and almost comical state, Victoria couldn’t even revel in her surprise before Morty stepped up to
“Victoria, stand up!”
Then came a slap, resounding through the room. In an instant, Victoria was stunned, and so was Ellis.
Morty said he was bringing her to find Victoria, and Ellis had thought it was to inform her of Victoria’s whereabouts so she could call the police on Victoria. She never expected that upon seeing Victoria, Morty would slap her without a word.
“I warned you not to hire people to beat up Ellis, Morty said, pulling out a handkerchief to wipe his hand that had struck. Victoria. “You didn’t listen, don’t blame me for being rude.’
