Chapter 1152
Victoria’s lips curled into a bitter forced smile. She finally figured out what had happened, but it was an
outcome that she found unacceptable for a time. Ruka‘s relationship with Ren had begun not just
several years ago; instead, they grew up together.
She narrowed her eyes in anguish. How could Ren fall in love with his sister‘s goddaughter despite
them being from different generations? There are so many women for him to choose from. Why does
he have to choose such a path to take on? Isn‘t he worried that he‘ll be affected during the next
election? Hasn‘t he thought about the risks in this regard? To think that you‘d also make a misstep, Ren
Husson! She bit her lips with a sneer. Since I can‘t get my hands on you, I won‘t let you win her heart
as you wish. Let‘s suffer together! Let‘s struggle in painful relationships. I mustn‘t be the only one who
can‘t win the heart of the person I love. I want you to suffer with me.
When Victoria returned to the private room, the dishes had been served. Ruka looked back at her with
a toothy grin, saying, “You‘re back, Miss Parfait.”
A hint of jealousy flashed across Victoria‘s mind. Ruka had a pure and kind air about her, as though
she wasn‘t scheming at all. She looked so wonderful that it made her envious. How could a person
have no desire? Isn‘t she worried that someone else might steal Ren away? Or is she so confident of
having him in her firm grasp? She‘s supposed to have her own worries and troubles. Why does she
seem so carefree?
Victoria could no longer go back to such days. As long as Ren didn‘t love her, she‘d always be gloomy.
However, she‘d soon let Ruka taste what it was like to be in fear–if the latter loved Ren enough. “Let‘s
eat and chat over dinner,” she said to Ruka before picking up the wine bottle and pouring a glass of
wine for herself. After taking a sip of it, she said to Ruka earnestly, “Actually, Ruka, I know a little about
you.”
Ruka paused for a moment before looking up at her.
Victoria stared at her, saying, “You said you had grown up at your relative‘s place since you were little.
The relative you were referring to was Madam Falkner, right? Were you raised by her side when you
were a child?”
Ruka‘s eyes widened. How did Miss Parfait know about this?
“So, your relationship with Ren is one between an elder and a member of the younger generation in the
family. You have no idea that I was once jealous of you. Well, now it seems that I was overthinking it.
How could I possibly think that you and Ren were going out? You should call him something like ‘Mr.
Ren, right?” Victoria fixed Ruka with a piercing gaze.
