President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

She really didn’t expect that after so many years of never asking Daniel for money, the first time she asked for pocket money, it would be taken back.

“Dad, take care of yourself. I have something to do today, so I’ll leave now.”

“Go, your presence here only makes me angry. Stay away from them and care more about Nick.”

Victoria didn’t say anything, nodded, and closed the door to the hospital room.

At the elevator, she ran into Linda. Linda’s face didn’t look great, but upon seeing Victoria, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Tori.”

Thinking of what Daniel had just said, Victoria knew Linda must have said something. So, she asked a simple question, “Are you feeling better?”

“Much better. Your complexion doesn’t look good. Did you quarrel with Dad again?”

Victoria didn’t want to talk about it. “I have work to do, so I’ll leave. You can chat with Dad.”

Linda’s face stiffened, obediently saying, “Okay.”

Once Victoria left, the smile disappeared from Linda’s eyes. She had hoped to get close to Nick at the event, but he didn’t show up. Disappointed, she ended up back in the hospital for recuperation.

Victoria felt a headache coming on. She immediately contacted the real estate agency to see if it was possible to refund the money she had paid for the house. However, the process had already started, and refunding the money now would not only incur a substantial loss but also cause a significant delay.

As Victoria rubbed her temples, her aunt chose this moment to call.

“Tori, I just called your dad. It’s my fault; I was too impatient.”

Victoria didn’t want to scold her elder. Kevin’s actions had indeed been outrageous, but the money he took had been returned to Dad by Jonathan long ago. They had been trying to mend their relationship. While Victoria understood her father’s feelings, she increasingly felt that he lacked compassion. He could afford to buy a mansion for Gavin, yet he forgot the kindness of Jonathan and Ellie. He completely shifted his hatred into them, cutting off all ties.

“Tori, I’m really sorry. You said you could handle the situation, but that’s a lot of money. How could I bear to burden you? I thought about borrowing from your dad, but you know he’s not very fond of us.”

Ellie’s voice choked up a bit.

Victoria, facing away from the hospital entrance, didn’t see the person entering.

“Aunt, don’t worry. I’ll find a way to borrow eight million. Take care of Uncle.”

“Alexia said your husband is a scumbag. Is that true, Tori? If you’re not living well, just get a divorce. There’s a colleague’s son of your uncle’s in Veridian City. I heard he’s stable in his career, and he’s a good person. How about meeting him someday?”

Victoria took a deep breath. “Aunt, it’s unnecessary. I won’t get a divorce. My relationship with my husband is very good. Don’t believe those rumors.”

Lowering her gaze to prevent her aunt from worrying, she also fabricated a few things. “We had a love affair, deeply in love with each other, and he is truly outstanding.”

After hanging up the phone, she saw Nick standing not far away, with Gabriel by his side. Nick’s hand was bleeding, probably accidentally reopening the wound, and he had come to the hospital for a new bandage.
