Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)
Chapter 126

Chapter 126

Victoria frowned in response to Elaine's comment. What did she mean.

when she said I want to steal everything from Claudia? Claudia and Alaric have never been in a committed relationship; if they had, I wouldn't still have feelings for Alaric and be willing to stage a wedding for him. It is simply because he and Claudia never established a relationship. At that thought, Victoria sneered, "Is Alaric the one who told you that he belongs.

to Claudia?"

"Don't be so stubborn, Victoria. I'll let you know whether or not Alaric is Claudia's," Elaine said as she pushed Christopher's hand away and

hunkered down in front of Victoria. "Do you have your phone on you?" she

asked as she got closer.

Victoria looked at her warily in response.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm only conducting an experiment."

Then, Elaine flipped Victoria over to search her pockets.

At that moment, Victoria was worried for her unborn child when she

noticed Elaine rifling through her body, so she struggled in fear because

she did not know what Elaine intended to do.

"Don't move!" Elaine warned her in a low voice. "If you keep moving, I can't

guarantee you won't get hurt."

"What do you want?" Victoria asked, her face turning pale.

"I just need your phone for a fun experiment. Are you worried about that

little b*stard in your belly?" Elaine's voice was low, so Christopher couldn't hear her, and she even said proudly, "I heard Claudia say that you wanted to protect that little b*stard. Why? Can you use him to keep your title as Mrs. Cadogan forever?"

Victoria's eyes narrowed as she heard the word "b*stard," and she couldn't

help but headbutt Elaine, who was right in front of her.

"Ah!" Elaine was knocked backward and yelped in agony.

"Don't talk about him like that!" Victoria gritted her teeth and glared at

Elaine with a fierce look. A moment ago, Victoria had a gentle expression;

now, she appeared angry and ready to fight.

The sudden change was frightening even for Elaine. After being

headbutted, her ear was still ringing as she stood up. She was furious and wanted retaliation, but when she met Victoria's eyes, Elaine was paralyzed

with shock.

It wasn't until Christopher ran over and grabbed her arm that she returned

to her senses. "What do you want to do?" he asked, pulling her up.

On the other hand, Elaine didn't dare provoke Victoria anymore after the

last incident. What if, despite being tied down, she tried to fight back, and I

got hurt? At that thought, she turned to him and asked, "Where's her phone? She can't have gone out without it."

After hearing that, he glared at her and released her arm. "It's none of your

business."

"Yes, and I need to use her phone to make a quick call," she said. Christopher frowned, feeling that Elaine would mess things up. "Hurry up and give it to me. Otherwise, I'll call Claudia and tell her."

He was about to refuse when she threatened him with Claudia's name.

Ultimately, he gave in and handed over the phone. She immediately took

it and started to fiddle with it.

"What are you going to do?"

"Just sit back and watch."

Christopher glanced at Elaine in disgust, and then his gaze fell on Victoria, whose forehead was swollen from the headbutt. The contrast with her

terrifyingly pale lips was startling. I'm curious about what Elaine may have said to her because Victoria was very composed when I brought her here. "I found it." Elaine browsed Victoria's phone contact list and effortlessly found Alaric's number. Due to the earlier attack, she didn't dare approach Victoria directly, so she crouched far away. "Do you think Alaric will answer if I call him with your phone now?"

Victoria looked at Elaine coldly with an indifferent gaze as if she didn't

want to bother Elaine at all.

Seeing her like this, Elaine couldn't help but angrily say, "At this point, do you still think you're some pure and noble fairy? You clearly want to be Mrs. Cadogan, but you're still pretending. Just wait and meet your end!" Chapter 126 He Won't Pick Up

"Whether or not I choose to become Mrs. Cadogan is none of your

business!" Victoria snorted. "Or do you want to be Mrs. Cadogan too?"

Hearing this, Elaine's face turned red, and her words stuck in her throat. "W-What are you talking about?"

"I'm just saying casually. Are you so worked up because I hit the nail on the

head?" Victoria sneered.

Elaine's whole face twisted in anger, and her features resembled worms crawling across her face. "Victoria, you'll regret this!" With that, she dialed Alaric's number on Victoria's phone. Then, she curled her lips and said, "You probably already know who he's with now, but if his wife calls him for help, will he come?" After saying that, she paused and pretended to be surprised, covering her mouth with her hand. "Oh my, I forgot to mention that he might not even answer the phone, let alone hear your plea for help, right?"

Beep. Beep... The call was connected.

Meanwhile, Christopher, standing next to Elaine, realized what she had in

mind and frowned. "Do you want others to come here? Are you crazy?"

"Shut up! What are you talking about?" Then, she said impatiently, "Alaric won't answer Victoria's call right now; he's with Claudia."

When he heard that, his eyes dimmed a bit. Here I am, desperately giving.

up everything for the woman I like while she is with another man. At that moment, he recalled what Victoria had said and admitted that it made sense. Claudia will never like me, so everything I do now is self-sacrifice? At that thought, he suddenly regretted his actions.

Beep. Beep... On the other hand, Elaine's call from Victoria's phone went. unanswered until a robotic female voice answered. "Hello, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later." "Hahaha!" After hearing the cold, mechanical female voice, Elaine couldn't. help but laugh hysterically. "Victoria, I told you he wouldn't answer your call, right? Look, he's with Claudia now, so you're not important to him. Victoria, you're not even worthy of being compared to Claudia." After speaking for a while without getting any response, she looked up to see Victoria's reaction. However, what Elaine saw almost drove her crazy. Victoria was staring at her with a blank expression; she didn't seem disappointed or upset that Alaric hadn't responded to her call.

Initially, I want to retaliate against her, but if this can't even elicit a

smidgeon of anger from her, what is the point of what I've done so far? "I don't believe you can be indifferent to everything!" Enraged by Victoria's lack of response, Elaine threw away the phone and rushed toward her. "Elaine, what are you doing?" As soon as Christopher finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and the warehouse door was kicked open.
