Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1346

Victoria's gaze landed reflexively on the ruby and sapphire bracelet. Ever since discovering its secret, no matter what outfit she matched it with, whether she liked it or not, if it was visible under winter clothing, or if it meant anything, she barely ever took it off. She always had a feeling there was more than what she was seeing, but who'd thought the person to reveal it would be this cousin-in-law she had never met.

And sure enough, Trevor's expression turned beyond grim that instant.

Though knowing there was more to the bracelet, she didn't expect such a profound significance. Selena was clearly implying she was cheating on him!

This marriage wasn't exactly what she wanted in the first place, but her upbringing was rather conservative. Hence, deep down, marriage was sacred to her, so she hated disloyalty and betrayal the most! Most men minded that as well, no? What was more, physical and emotional cheating were different. Evidently, this woman was driving her toward that accusation.

Things would've been fine if she didn't bring it up, but now that she did, she was also adding fuel to Trevor’s anger. He overheard the nurses talking about the Cupid's Love bracelet when he was out on a stroll that evening. Then when he saw the pictures they took of the one Anthony owned, he grew pissed, remembering seeing it on Victoria's wrist. If gazes could kill, Trevor's glare at Victoria would've had her dead by now.

And the three naturally sensed the delicate atmosphere.

However, before Trevor could speak, Victoria raised her hand and spoke up. "Is that so? Is this bracelet so magical? You know so much..."

She pointed out insinuatingly and chuckled.

"If it's really as efficacious as you say, then wouldn't all the mistresses in the world risk losing everything to get it for themselves? All this swindling; buying this and having the person accept it will be so much faster than having to fight others for love, won't it?"

Following that, Victoria feigned awareness and removed the bracelet. "I wonder what's engraved on mine. If it's really so efficient, you might have trouble ahead of you, Hubby..." She then smiled, rendering the other two dumbfounded. Her retort was similarly logical, mocking both flagrantly and inconspicuously. Selena's expression turned awful right then, but she couldn't stop her slightly pursed lips from curving upward a little, smug.

Let's see who'd have the last laugh!

After a pause, she turned to Trevor, acting surprised. "Wait, you're not the one who gave her the bracelet, Trevor?"

Then, she turned her reprimanding gaze over to Victoria.

"No offense, Victoria, but don't you think what you're doing isn't right? Don't bracelets also mean cuffs of love? No matter how pretty a bracelet is or how much you like it, how can you accept this so simply from some man? What's more, this is the rumored magical Cupid's Love; what if it's really as people say? What do you take my cousin as, and how should he deal with it? Seriously, how can you wear it? It’s not like Trevor can't afford it. What would people think..."

A hint of malevolence flashed across Selena's face as she pointed at Victoria, implying she was disrespecting Trevor! Though the hostility only appeared for a split second, Victoria still captured it.

This woman bore ill will! She may have sounded like she meant well, but what basic respect was there?! More like covetous eyeing.

The man in the room and the status was probably her true intention, wasn't it?

She wouldn't move on from Trevor!

Victoria was feeling rather upset while she made the quick judgment as Selena had been the one stirring up trouble from the start. However, Trevor said nothing even until now. People always said new lovers smile the brightest, but why was her love so pitiable?

However, no matter how dissatisfied she was right then, she still spoke with a smile.

She wanted to act? She'd act with her then, lest she'd get the blame if things escalated! "Want to see me make a fool of myself? Let's see who has the last laugh!" she mused.
