F1 Champion's Perfect Crash: When Love Takes The Final Turn novel Chapter 126

Victoria decided to take a tough approach.

My face turned ugly. "Are you threatening me?"

Victoria spoke in a cold tone, "It depends on how you interpret it."

After thinking about the tampered design and Victoria's insistence on her returning home for dinner, I fell silent for a moment and said coldly, "Fine, I'll come back."

After hanging up the phone, I packed my things with a stern expression and left the Hill Crest One Residence.

Having learned from the previous incident at the Lopez Family's villa, I had already contacted Geoff Turner in advance.

Confirming that Geoff was indeed going to the Lopez Family's villa, I felt relieved.

When I arrived, Geoff was already there, sitting on the sofa talking to Lopez.

To be honest, if it weren't for my father, Connor, passing, and Victoria taking away my uncle's shares, Victoria wouldn't have such an easy grip on my uncle.

Even if my mother pursued her own interests, she wouldn't easily let my uncle's company go bankrupt.

However, she desired to alter the management of my uncle's company, come together with other shareholders, and distribute what his uncle had worked hard for throughout his life, seemingly without much difficulty.

Seeing me enter, Victoria immediately stood up with a smile. "Aurelia is back."

I nodded with a cold face.

Geoff was in the middle of discussing the incident where Bella plagiarized my design with Victoria. He explained that it was a misunderstanding and that I had already forgiven Bella.

But seeing his niece's current expression, it was clear that what Victoria said, and the actual situation were different.

Victoria was perceptive, and he noticed Geoff's hesitant expression. He said, "You two should have a chat first. I'll go upstairs to get something."

After Victoria finished speaking, he got up and went upstairs.

Geoff looked at me and said, "Your mather said that the incident with Bella plagiarizing your work was a misunderstanding."

I pursed my lips, unsure of how to explain.

Seeing my expression, Geoff immediately understood.

His gaze darkened. "You silly girl, why didn't you tell me? I just came back from overseas, and I only found out about this incident today. Were you planning on never telling me?"

I felt somewhat helpless. "Uncle, it's not that I didn't want to tell you. At that time, we had already found a solution, and I didn't want to trouble you with it."

Geoff's expression didn't look good. "What do you mean by 'trouble me'? Your father isn't here anymore. Aside from me, who else is there to protect you? How could you treat me as an outsider?"

I was afraid of making Geoff angry and quickly said, "Uncle, I'm sorry. I didn't think it through properly. From now on, if anything happens, I'll tell you right away."

Geoff treated me well, but he had a large family to take care of. I knew that Geoff genuinely cared about me, but I didn't want to become a burden to him.
