President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 333

Charlie shook.

Victoria had wanted to say those words for a long time, but kept it all in without daring to let them out.

Now, blurting it all out, she felt her chest clear as she wrung her hand loose and walked to the side.

She took a deep breath, feeling her eyes sting. She kept the tears down by force.

She chuckled self-deprecatingly. “And stop hanging on to those things from five years ago. A lot can change in five years. Who says I’ll be willing to be with you now? I stopped loving you a log time ago. Oh, and you don’t know, do you? I have a boyfriend now. He’s great to me, so you don’t have to worry about my future.”

Charlie’s pupils shrank.

“What did you say?”

Victoria turned to him, thrusting out her chest and saying confidently, “I said I have a boyfriend now. His name’s Max and he’s the young master of the Nixon family of Eqitin. You must have heard of him, right? That’s the kind of opportunistic woman I am. If you Stevensons can’t have me, I’ll find some other backer instead of dying on your tree.”

Charlie laughed coldly.

He nodded again and again.

“Good. That’s very good.”

His eyes grew bloodred, shining with dark, cold light.

Victoria clenched her fists and growled, “Then you can leave now, can’t you!”

But the man didn’t leave. Instead, he approached her.

And he pushed her up against the wall.

Victoria started, glaring at him. “What are you doing, Charlie? I’m warning you, this is my home! If you do anything out of turn, my father won’t let you go!”

“What am I doing?” Charlie gritted his teeth. “You think you can lie to me like that? You think that I’m as stupid as you imagine, stupid enough to spin around in the palm of your hand?”

Victoria’s face changed.

“L-Let me go.”

“No!”

One of his hands shot out and clamped down on her chin.

Victoria hissed as pain shot up her jaw.

Then the man’s face expanded in front of her.

Victoria’s eyes widened.

An icy, soft touch came down on her lips. He was so fierce it seemed he wanted to eat her up whole.

Victoria had never thought that, at a time like this with all the vitriol she’d spewed at him, he could still do something like this.

Victoria felt her jaw begin to ache.

She mumbled a few protests and tried to shove him off.

But he grabbed her hands and pressed them up against the wall over her head.

Unable to struggle further, Victoria felt a wave of sourness. Her eyes reddened, about to leak.

Charlie, too, was getting frantic.

She really thought he was such an easy person to fool.

She couldn’t even think of a better excuse.

Didn’t show know that, ever since she’d appeared again, he’d thoroughly investigated everyone she knew and everywhere she’d been in these five years?

He knew perfectly well who she’d contacted and what people were at her side.

Did she really think he was so easy to lie to that she’d use such a flimsy lie?

Come on!

He knew that she wasn’t dating Max. She’d never seen any other men within these five years.

But hearing her say that Max was her boyfriend out loud still drew out a surge of jealousy.

That’s why he needed to punish her fiercely.

Victoria had been pressed up against the wall originally, but somehow, she found herself in his tight embrace, one of his hands against the back of her head.
