Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 157

Ralph smirked, "After sitting in a wheelchair for a month, I got used to it. It feels uncomfortable if I don't sit."

Victoria, "..."

Suddenly, she felt that this person wasn't very reliable.

Just then, a butler-like person led a few strong bodyguards over.

The butler walked up to Ralph and greeted him in a low voice, "Second Young Master."

Ralph nodded slightly.

Victoria's gaze swept over the bodyguards, who were all dressed in matching uniforms with the Preston family emblem.

Ralph looked at Victoria, never having been nervous before, and asked anxiously, "Can I... call you Victoria?"

Victoria nodded indifferently, "Sure."

People who were more familiar with her called her that.

Ralph felt ecstatic in his heart and continued to ask, "Victoria, can we exchange phone numbers?"

Victoria initially wanted to agree and say yes.

But after glancing at Ralph's healthy legs, clearly not injured but still insisting on using a wheelchair, she couldn't help but doubt his reliability.

Ralph noticed her hesitation and concern, regretting why he had come in a wheelchair in the first place!

In a flash of thought, Ralph suddenly remembered Arnold and quickly said, "Arnold co-founded G.Y. with you and is also a co-founder of G.Y. You guys are good friends, right?"

Victoria squinted her eyes slightly.

Ralph hurriedly explained, "I know Arnold. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. Although I'm not close with Arnold, this way, I indirectly know you too. Can we exchange contact information?"

Victoria thought for a moment and finally nodded, "Alright."

After exchanging contact information, Victoria left first.

After walking a few steps, Victoria sent a message to Arnold, [Are you awake?]

Arnold replied instantly, [??? Look at the time, it's already afternoon. I'm not a lazy idiot who sleeps in, of course I'm awake.]

Victoria didn't feel like bantering with him and asked directly, [Do you know Ralph from the Preston family?]

Arnold, [I know him, but we're not close. I've only seen him a few times.]

After reading Arnold's reply, Victoria lightly tapped her slender and fair fingers on the side of her phone. It turned out that they really knew each other.

Speaking of which, Arnold was from a noble lineage and his family was one of the ten ancient and noble families in Europe. The Preston family's influence was also in Europe, so it made sense for the two of them to know each other.

Curiously, Arnold asked, [Why are you suddenly asking about Ralph?]

Victoria thought for a moment and typed, [Do you have a picture of him?]

Arnold, [Yes, although he rarely appears on the internet, I have a picture of him.]

Victoria, [Send it to me.]

Arnold quickly sent the picture.

Victoria looked at the photo of Ralph, his features delicate and handsome, just like the man she had met earlier.

More importantly, the Ralph in the photo was indeed not using a wheelchair and had healthy legs.

Arnold was puzzled, [Strange, why are you suddenly asking about Ralph?]

Victoria didn't hide anything, [I ran into him at the entrance of Emperor Wind Entertainment Company just now.]

Arnold, [He came to Newtopia?]

Victoria, [Yes.]

Arnold, [Why did he come to Newtopia? The Preston family's business hardly involves Newtopia.]

Victoria, [I'm not sure.]

Victoria looked at him with a cold gaze.

Trent hadn't slept all night, drenched in rain, and had caught a fever. His eyes were bloodshot and red from staying up all night.

After leaving the design exchange banquet yesterday, he didn't return to the Montgomery family. He aimlessly walked through the rain all night, his legs swollen and numb.

He didn't want to go back to the Montgomery family and didn't know where to go.

He didn't want to answer the calls from the Montgomery family, so he simply turned off his phone.

Unknowingly, he walked to the entrance of Emperor Wind Entertainment Company, standing there from morning till now, without a drop of water entering his mouth. Finally, in the afternoon, he saw Victoria coming to the company.

He was like a thief who couldn't bear the light, secretly watching Victoria enter the company, secretly watching her leave the company, secretly watching her talk to a man in a wheelchair.

And then, without thinking, he quietly followed behind her.

But after only a few steps, Victoria discovered him.

At this moment, meeting Victoria's indifferent gaze, Trent opened his mouth, his feverish throat hoarse, not knowing what to say, "I..."

Victoria had no patience to listen to his nonsense, "Move aside."

Her voice was bone-chillingly cold.

Trent, who had a high fever, felt a shiver run through his body, as if he had taken a bite of a sour lemon that sent a sourness straight to his heart, almost making tears well up in his eyes.

Victoria ignored him and directly walked away.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard a loud thud behind her.

Victoria's footsteps paused slightly, but she didn't turn around and continued walking forward.

Trent, seeing her resolute figure, experienced spasms and trembles in his body. He crawled up from the ground...

...

In just a few days, Victoria heard that Trent had disappeared and couldn't be found.
