The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 289

Victoria froze.

Her mind uncontrollably replayed everything that had happened yesterday, and her face instantly turned pale.

Her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched as she fought to suppress the turmoil inside her.

“If Mr. Shawn made me stay just to ask me questions like this, then there’s nothing more for us to talk about. I’ll be leaving.”

With that, she moved to step past Elias and walk out.

Elias grabbed her wrist, his eyes dark. He said, seemingly out of nowhere, “Is this the outcome you wanted? Are you satisfied now?”

Victoria turned to look at him and pulled her hand free. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“The person who reported the issues with Genevieve’s projects… it was you, wasn’t it?”

Victoria fell silent.

She looked at him. The man’s eyes were bottomless, like a cliff edge. One wrong step and you could fall to your death, shattered to pieces.

“It was me.”

She took a deep breath, her voice cool. “So what? Are you going to use your power to bail her out and cover it all up, just like last time?”

“Victoria, your brother—”

“Don’t you dare mention him!” Victoria cut him off coldly.

Elias’s expression darkened.

Victoria pressed her lips together and put some distance between them. “Elias, as long as I haven’t found the evidence that Genevieve killed my brother, I will not give up. If you want to protect her, go ahead. I can’t stop you. But for every time you protect her, I will find a way to send her back to prison, again and again, until she…”

“Pays for murder with her life!”

After saying her piece, Victoria turned and left without a backward glance.

Elias watched her go, his heart feeling as if it were being squeezed by a merciless hand, making it hard to breathe.

He watched her walk further and further away from him, wanting to reach out, but unable to grasp her.

That evening, after dinner with Grant, Victoria drove Sunny home.

The parent virus was on Genevieve’s computer, and the child virus was on hers.

Once the parent virus was deleted, the child virus would erase itself without a trace.

Because of that, Tamara lost her ability to walk. She was trapped in guilt and fear, and eventually, her mental state collapsed, leading to her suicide from depression.

But Tamara probably never imagined that the person who would ultimately destroy Abbey Prescott and the Prescott family wasn't Genevieve. It was her own cowardice, which plunged the Prescott family into six years of hatred. It drove the sister she had tried to protect off her original path, consumed by a thirst for revenge that indirectly led to the death of Grady Sanger.

Sunny sighed as she reflected on it all.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and let out a small cry.

Victoria snapped back to reality and saw Sunny’s pale face. She quickly pulled the car over to the side of the street. “What’s wrong?”

Sunny’s brow furrowed in pain. “I think I just got my period.”

Her period…

Victoria froze. A thought flashed through her mind like lightning—
