Chapter 178
Chapter 178
Eliza knew exactly how to do the math on this one. “No way! I’m never leaving the Powell family. You could write me a million checks and it wouldn’t matter. You have to marry me!”
Victor rubbed his temples in frustration. Meanwhile, cameras nearby had already captured everything, and before either of them realized it, the video was already spreading like wildfire online.
Serena was sitting in her office when she saw the trending post. She clicked on the video and froze, thinking, ‘The Aniston family is definitely going to call off the engagement.’
Regina certainly wasn’t going to put up with Victor’s nonsense. When she first saw the news, she was relaxing in her private pool. Even though she felt angry, she wasn’t surprised at all. It was like she’d expected Victor to be exactly this kind of scumbag.
“Well, that was quite the show,” Regina said, rolling over on
the
bed.
Regina had always thought Victor’s face was nice enough to look at, but now that she knew about all the things he’d done and about Eliza’s existence, she suddenly lost all interest. She didn’t have that kind of tolerance.
Albert’s phone was ringing nonstop with calls from shareholders and reporters asking about Victor and Eliza. The stock price was plummeting. He was so furious he had to take his heart medication twice just to keep from passing out.
Albert couldn’t afford to just walk away from this mess. Victor was completely useless, and if Albert got sick now, the company would be filing for
bankruptcy tomorrow.
“Look at what you’ve done,” Albert said, throwing the printed photos right at Victor’s face. “At this point, you have no choice but to marry Eliza. Having a baby before marriage is better than keeping a mistress on the side.”
Victor had already figured out Victor’s escape plan and even paid off Aniston Group to keep things stable. But when he turned around, Victor still looked completely out of it.
“I don’t want to divorce Eliza,” Victor murmured.
Albert nearly passed out from anger. “Everything depends on what you want? Then maybe we should all just drop dead. Now get out of here and wait for my orders!” he shouted.
Whether Victor wanted it or not, this wedding had to happen. Otherwise, Powell Group would be completely destroyed by Victor’s hands.
Victor walked out the door in a daze and saw Eliza standing nearby, watching him like she’d already won. The sight of her made him think of Serena all over again. ‘How did things end up like this?‘ he thought.
Victor let out a bitter laugh. He finally had to admit that he’d been wrong about people all these years. Too bad he didn’t have a chance to fix things now. Serena would never forgive him.
“Vic, I told you I’d be the one standing beside you in the end,” Eliza said as she walked over and took his arm.
She was smiling like she’d won some kind of prize, completely different from her hysterical breakdown a few days ago. She looked just like her old self again.
