Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177

Chapter 177

After patiently comforting her for a while, Alyssa finally managed a small smile and fell asleep tiredly against Keith’s shoulder.

“I’m sorry,” Keith said quietly. Serena was already dealing with enough stress, and having to comfort Alyssa on top of everything else was really his fault.

“It’s nothing.” Serena said softly, pressing her lips together in a forced smile to avoid waking Alyssa.

Keith called his driver to take Serena home. After two straight days of worry and stress, she really needed some rest. The moment she got home, she collapsed into bed and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Powell Manor was in complete chaos. Albert had found out about Leon’s condition and was furious.

Victor stood quietly beside him after getting slapped, while Albert let out a harsh laugh. “I told you from the beginning that Eliza was bad news. Only a monster would hurt a child like that, but you believed in her the whole time.”

If this had happened before, Victor would have defended Eliza without question. But now, he wasn‘ so sure anymore.

The Eliza he used to know seemed to have died in the past, and he couldn’t recognize the person standing in front of him.

“You have two days to deal with Eliza. Send her as far away as possible and make sure she never has anything to do with the Powell family again,” Albert said, taking a deep breath.

“This is your last chance, Victor. Don’t disappoint me again. You’ve already made too many mistakes.”

Victor nodded silently, then turned and left to find Eliza.

Eliza had been on edge ever since that day, not knowing what Victor would decide. The moment she saw him, she grabbed his arm desperately, not caring about anything else.

Tears kept streaming down her face as Eliza choked out. “Vic, I know I was wrong. Please, for the sake of our two kids, just forgive me this once. I only pushed Leon because I was so angry and upset.”

Victor didn’t believe a word of it anymore. He was tired of trying to figure out what was true and what was fake in everything Eliza said. He pushed her

hands away.

“Forget it. We’re done,” Victor said coldly. “I’ll take responsibility for our kids and bring him back to the Powell family to raise him properly. But I don’t want to see you again.”

Eliza was stunned. “You don’t want me anymore?”

Victor laughed bitterly, “After everything that’s happened, what makes you think I’d put up with your vicious temper? Taking the kid back to the Powell family is already more than generous.”

Hearing him talk like he was doing her some huge favor, Eliza finally dropped the act completely. “More than generous? I think it’s because Leon’s become a useless cripple and the Powell family has no one left to inherit the business. That’s why you suddenly want my son, isn’t it?”

Her voice turned sharp and mocking as she jabbed her finger at Victor’s chest. “You’re just a man who can’t commit to anything. You did this to Serena before, and now you’re doing it to me.

“You totally deserve to end up with nothing! Now you’re just a tool for some arranged marriage. You’ll always be a worthless loser.”

Victor’s expression grew colder as he listened to her rant. “Stop acting crazy. I’ll give you money before you leave. Consider it compensation. You can name your price, as long as it’s not completely ridiculous.”

‘Name my price?‘ Eliza thought bitterly. What amount of money could possibly compare to being the wife of the Powell Group’s CEO?”
