Semua Bab A Deal With The Billionaire : Revenge To My-ex : Bab 21 - Bab 30

One month later. The news of the Agriche family scandal was still loudly discussed by every social circle. The media continued to fry it, causing a lot of speculation. Blasphemy has been directed at Alden and Emberly. The two of them are the ones who get the most impact. Because of the despicable acts committed, their image has been completely tarnished. Emberly, who knew about it, hid herself for a while. After a month later, she appeared at her campus again. She thought all the news had been buried for the past few weeks. "Karina!" Emberly called out to the familiar person and walked over to them. Her step was confident, as if the scandal that brought her name down had never happened. She showed no signs of self-reflection or even embarrassment. Her face was still as arrogant as the Emberly Agriche that everyone knew. Karina, who was with some friends, changed their expressions right after Emberly's arrival. The atmosphere, which was initially very cheerful and friendly

Maverick and Victoria's wedding party "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the newlyweds who are the stars of tonight's reception!" Victoria took Maverick's arm as the host's voice announced their arrival. She breathed her last long breath before stepping inside with Maverick, who had officially become her husband since this morning. They walked amid the spacious ballroom that had become a luxurious and elegant venue for the evening reception. The sound of thunderous applause greeted the two as they walked. The daytime reception, held right after the vows were exchanged at the altar, was exclusively attended by colleagues and business associates of both families. Meanwhile, this evening's reception and closing party were only attended by relatives and family members of both families. Even so, the scale of the event was still quite large. "Your hands are icy," said Maverick, touching the back of her hand. After smiling at the guests since her arrival, Victoria tur

"So exhausting ..." Victoria sighed after sitting on the edge of the hotel bed. The very long event ended at midnight. At least for the two who were left to rest while her parents and Maverick's grandmother cared for the guests until the end. It was not easy wearing three dresses and a face full of makeup for almost 24 hours, only for a wedding that would end after a year. The hotel room door opened, and a man walked in. Victoria turned to the door, frowned as she saw him enter, and asked, "Why are you here?" "This is my room," he replied casually as he approached Victoria. Once before her, he added, "What do you think your parents and my grandmother would say if we, married coupled, used different rooms?" For a moment, Victoria was silent. Then, after a while, she realized something. "I forgot that they don't know we're just contract marriages," she muttered, leaned back, and closed her eyes. Victoria ignored Maverick, who was in the same room as her, because she was t

"Why would you think that?" Victoria frowned in confusion. Maverick opened his eyes this time and looked deeply into her eyes. However, he didn't immediately answer, leading her to repeat the question, "Alden wouldn't have cheated on Emberly if he didn't love her, right?" "He doesn't realize his feelings," he murmured, which Victoria could still hear, but it only confused her more. 'What does that mean? In the end, Victoria chooses not to continue the conversation. She fell back into silence, enjoying the warm water that soaked into her body, making her relax even more. For a while, she didn't want to think about Alden, Emberly, Agriche, or anything else. Even so, curiosity still haunted her, raising another question. "Everyone must have felt in love, including you, right?" Victoria tried to dig into Maverick's relationship with a woman named Lexie, even though she knew it was none of her business. She just wanted to confirm the answer and see how she reacted afterwards. V

"Tori...!" "Tori!" "What?!" Victoria, who had just surfaced after throwing herself into the sea, heard her name being called over and over again, making her a little irritated. She swam back to her husband, standing on the yacht, already preparing to go to the sea. "I thought you couldn't swim and accidentally splashed in earlier," he said with a chuckle. Victoria splashed water on his feet. "My dislike of swimming doesn't mean I can't swim, Mr. Hurlington." "I'm sincerely worried about you, Mrs. Hurlington." After that, Maverick plunged into the sea after Victoria. Victoria swam followed her husband, who seemed to be very excited. They floated on the waves as they stayed in the middle of the sea, having gone some distance from the yacht. "This island doesn't seem to have been touched by humans. The sea water is still apparent," says Victoria. "I just heard that a new species of marine fauna was discovered around this sea." Victoria couldn't help but be surpr
