Chapter 228 The Blame Game”

Finished

The dissolution of the engagement felt like a colossal investment flop to Victoria, akin to missing out on Easton’s explosive potential as a prime stock. Coupled with recent setbacks, she glared at Morty as if he were an enemy.

“You planned this from the start, didn’t you? When I first came back to the country, you supported me in reclaiming what I deserved! Now you’ve changed your tune, saying it’s not mine to claim. you….

Listening to Victoria’s grinding teeth, Morty didn’t really catch what she said next. His eyelids drooped, lost in memorie

was never easy.

After the incident where Victoria and Ellis were kidnapped together, he had a change of heart. Easton was in no way worthy.

Easion didn’t appreciate Ellis, but he would cherish her. Pulling himself from his memories, Morty found Victoria still ranting and decided not to stand there any longer listening to her. He turned and walked away.

He had said all he could to Victoria, hoping she’d be wise enough to know what to do and what not to do. If she targeted Ellis again. she shouldn’t expect any mercy from him.

Hearing Ellis’s remark, Maya twitched her mouth and warned, “You realize hitting the face is humiliating? Make sure you remember not to impulsively hit anyone next time!”

It couldn’t be helped; hitting Easton didn’t really cost her anything since he never fought back. And it wasn’t without reason-

Seeing Ellis’s half–hearted oath gesture, Maya’s face remained expressionless. “You’d better,”

“Why don’t you believe me?” Ellis feigned annoyance, pouting her lips. “I always keep my word.”
