Chapter 1371
He didn't put much thought into his words at first, it was merely a silly supposition after all. However, as the seriousness in Victoria's eye grew apparent, Trevor started taking the matter seriously as well. "If this is true," he pondered, "her tragic fate will eventually be fulfilled. No matter how hard we try to prevent it, the ending is inevitable. Perhaps her best bet is to enjoy life during these peaceful times?"
In an instant, several major events appeared in Victoria's mind.
Being happy every day, visiting her parents, fulfilling her responsibilities as their daughter, bearing a baby, or just doing whatever she likes. Victoria prayed for her inescapable tragic happenings to be delayed, just for a decade. She wished to enjoy ten years of joyful marriage first! Then she'll deal with everything else. Trevor couldn't stop himself from giggling again, "Sweetheart, you're so frightened you've started getting delusional. Do you know why the Scorpion Gang is so successful?"
Victoria looked up with her eyes half-open, whilst Trevor lowered his head and gently tapped her nose. "Everyone has their weaknesses! You'll need to be quick-witted and learn to take advantage of it. Even if your target is the almighty Emperor, as long as you learn to uncover and exploit their weaknesses, nothing is impossible. The key is how you utilize your strengths, so-"
Trevor came to a pause as a murderous look unexpectedly appeared in his cold eyes.
"I don't care if the opponent is a big shot or a truly desperate man. With ample time, I guarantee you, I'll be able to counter whatever attacks they throw at you. I'll protect you from everything. That's why you should never give up on yourself so easily! Vicky, you have to understand that this is a world where solutions always overthrow problems! If I want to enjoy your extraordinary magnificence, I will have to bear the obligations that come with it, it's my job! Don't overthink, as long as I'm here, no one will touch you, ever!"
Trevor's reassuring words drastically reduced Victoria's anxiety. She finally relaxed her initially tense body, "Hubby, what's your weakness?"
"Family?" She wondered, "Close friends? What is it?"
"If I unearth it, does that mean I can conquer you too?"
As she pondered on the thought, Victoria looked up at him with a firm expression. She doesn't know that she, Victoria Atlas, was the answer she had been looking for all along.noveldrama
As he stroked her hair, Trevor shook his head while smiling, "I don't know, but feel free to spend your entire life finding out-"
Victoria hugged him tightly as she savored his warmth. She closed her eyes, failing to hide the joy in her heart-
It was a short night, yet the couple managed to get some quality deep sleep.
The next day, she was afraid that Trevor wouldn't wake her up when he got up from bed. Therefore, early in the morning, Victoria opened her eyes and stared straight at Trevor, waiting for him to wake up. Her biggest fear was being forgotten by men after a good night's sleep.
Thus, she promised herself that she would never let him out of her sight.
Just as Trevor turned around to grab some garments, Victoria scurried over to his side. With a couple of dresses in her arms, she yanked at his clothes hurriedly. Trevor was quite delighted to see this.
"We're not in a hurry today! No need to rush around like that."
Trevor pinched her cheeks and narrowed his eyes.
"I've even packed all your belts! You should think thoroughly and pack anything you want. You can even bring your cat! It won't be a problem."
It was his company, his office. Who would dare make any snarky remarks if he brought his wife? "Why would I take Grisly? It'll just end up becoming a third wheel!"
Holding the clothes, Victoria couldn't help but feel a little disconsolate. "They're all black," she thought, "they won't draw any attention, right?"
If she had known earlier, she would've kept some more old-fashioned clothes, the lamer the better! The problem was that Victoria herself was in the fashion industry. If she wore outdated clothes, no one would have faith in her designs anymore.
With the clothes in hand, Victoria was indecisive.
Not only was she able to pursue a profession she was genuinely interested in, but she also had a few minute achievements in her career. To Victoria, that was the ultimate blessing.
"Hubby, what type of clothes do your secretaries wear? Are there any spare work uniforms? Is makeup necessary for your employees?"
Trevor swept her into his arms with a tender smile on his face, "Are you planning on robbing my employees of their jobs?" Does she want to be his secretary?
His life was so much more interesting and colorful with her in it!
"No, it's just-"
"Just wear whatever you want! Do you think men are fools? No one judges a person solely by their clothes! Even if you just put on some low-quality linen clothes, your beauty and magnificence would still wow them. Gold will shine anywhere, even with junk as clothes you'll pass the acid test!"
If the men become sexually attracted to her, their eyes must be poisonous!
"You don't need to change anything deliberately, provided that no one else will be sharing my exclusive benefit!"
So he doesn't want her to wear clothes that expose her body too much?
Well, it was inevitable anyway! Victoria ultimately decided to change into a formal and majestic black and white dress. Coupled with a dark green long coat, black socks and heels, she gave off a sophisticated whitecollar kind of vibe. Lastly, Victoria grabbed a blackish green diamond bag. Standing beside Trevor Clements, she seemed generous and lavish!
After having breakfast and packing up, Trevor held her hand as they entered the car.
The moment she stepped into the company's hall, Victoria was dumbfounded. "What's going on?" She wondered, "What are these people doing?"
What's more, all the people looked similar as they all dressed in formal suits. She also noticed more men than women. They didn't look like they were expecting any guests.
She froze as a thought hit her, "Are big shots coming? Can we still keep a low profile?"
Trevor halted as Victoria broke free from his grip. He turned around and took a step back, "What's wrong?"
Victoria gestured toward the crowd and lowered her voice into a murmur, "Hubby, aren't you seeing this? Perhaps we should take cover first?"
Before Trevor had a chance to respond, Holger walked out with his secretary by his side. It was evident that he was slightly startled upon seeing Victoria. Seeing him there also kind of caught her off guard. "Mr. elements, you're here!" Holger exclaimed.
To be frank, Holger was quite puzzled. "Why did Mr. Clements ask the senior managers and executives to wait for him at the hall?" He wondered, "It's unlike him to do something like this!"
However, the most important question was, why did Mr. Clements bring a woman here?
Holger was truly at a loss. They had a packed schedule that day. Moreover, the senior executives of two big companies were to meet at ten o'clock later to sign a contract, that's why there were lots of outsiders waiting in the hall as well. Of course, they also arranged for some reporters to be at the scene.
The company's hall was bustling with energy!
Trevor acted as if he didn't notice anything. "The meeting will be postponed for ten minutes," he informed casually, "furthermore, the location of the meeting will be switched. It will be held in the conference room on the top floor!"
Trevor fished his pocket for a key and handed it to Holger. It was as if he was explaining why he had asked everyone to wait in the hall. "I'll accompany my wife upstairs before joining you!"
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as he finished his sentence, Trevor held Victoria in his arms as they strode through the crowd towards a nearby elevator. Of course, the people made way for the couple as everyone witnessed the sensational scene.
Victoria could feel the discussions being held behind their backs, even before entering the elevator. The elevator door closed slowly. They were the only ones Victoria was so shocked by the
situation that she stood frozen in place for some time before coming back to her sense, "I guess everyone knows you brought me to work now."now.
She doesn't want to cause him trouble before even stepping foot into his office!
Trevor flicked her upon seeing her big blank eyes wide open.
"How else are they going to know you're Trevor Clements' woman? I want every single person to know how I like you, spoil you, and love you. You're my legal wife, you're Mrs. Clements. I'd like to know who would have the audacity to take you away from me!"
"You did this on purpose?"
After comprehending his words, Trevor's intention was clear as crystal, "You're taking advantage of the media!"
Of course, verbal punishment. Now they're in this era of modern technology, people's words injure more than they used to! The media and the public cannot be taken lightly. They're legally married. If someone dared to take the wife away from the husband, the public would be furious.
Why didn't she think of that?
That alone was enough to protect her from basically all harm!
With this threat hidden in the announcement, even if there were still diabolical people out there who have the desire for her, they would need to be extra cautious. They won't be able to do it publicly, of course, and they'd have to contemplate thoroughly before making their move.
She was scared out of her wits the day before, so much so that her mind went completely blank. If she hadn't lost her composure, he wouldn't have seen the need to use the Scorpion Gang's power to teach Eguchi a lesson. The matter would have been solved quickly.
However, she complicated the matter!
Indeed, panic is one of our greatest enemies.
"I guess you're not that stupid after all! I gave lots of thought to the matter and decided to discipline those brainless idiots before they make their move. It was a last-minute idea. I hope it works, but even if it doesn't, we won't suffer any losses!"
After all, he prefers to save as much energy as he possibly can!
His final goal was to diminish the
crisis to protect her. Otherwise, he feared that she may snap under pressure if those wicked people scare and threaten her continuously. What she got depressed and got her hands on a knife? What she did something when he wasn't looking? The consequences were
unfathomable.
Trevor casually gave Victoria a back hug as he muttered something into her ear.
"We've kept ourselves out of the public's eye for too long! Maybe they thought we were merely colleagues. That's why they thought it easy to take you from me, that's why they were so ruthless and bold. I'm just letting them know who they'll be battling."
There were women out there who were willing to trade their bodies for wealth, status and popularity. They weren't forced. No one threatened them with a knife or a gun. Certainly, some changed their fate and married into rich families. Nevertheless, some ended up with a fate worse than death.
They've made their bed, and they've got to lie in it. Whether or not they would live a good life depended on their fate and luck. They deserved no sympathy from him.
Just like the woman in front of him. She had everything she needed, yet she still worked hard. Such a pure and strong-willed woman, naturally, he had to value and protect her!
"Vicky, you won't regret marrying me!"
She tilted her head and stared at him. For the first time, a genuine smile appeared on Victoria's face, "Okay~"
After escorting her into his office, Trevor prepared some food and playthings for her before taking out a spare notebook.
"I'm going to attend a meeting. My morning schedule is quite packed, so just do whatever you want. I'l have lunch with you if I can! If you need anyone, just walk along the aisle to reach the secretary's office. You can ask Miko Sander too accompany you. I'll tell her about it later. If anything happens, just go to her, she can help you solve anything-"
