Chapter 5 Where Have You Been All These Years

The handsome man had already stepped into Hastings Villa and stopped in his tracks. His gaze was cold, and there was a smirk on the corner of his mouth.

Behind Victor, David bowed slightly. "Mr. Hastings, do you want to go in and explain to Mrs. Hastings?"

"No need." Victor turned around, his inherent arrogance filling him with an unapproachable air.

Noble and born as a superior since birth, even Victor, who had held power for years and ruled over Woerek, also had moments of helplessness.

He stood in Ertors Hotel, which stood tall in the center of Woerek, the most luxurious place.

Victor, like an emperor, looked down at the night view of Woerek, and the blurred figure of that woman from that night appeared in his mind. That exhilarating and fulfilling feeling was something he had never experienced before, a feeling that could become addictive.

There was no doubt that he liked that taste, only liked that taste!

However, every time he saw Jessica's phony face, Victor couldn't help but feel disgusted and not understand what he was thinking at the time.

To make up for the mistake of that night, Victor gave Jessica the highest honor, turning her from an unknown person into the president's wife of Johnson Group. These compensations were enough.

"Mr. Hastings, Mr. Anderson has sent you a bottle of red wine, specially air-shipped from abroad. Do you want to keep this wine?" David carefully held a bottle of red wine and stood behind Victor.

Victor lazily glanced at it. "Throw it away."

"Alright." David respectfully retreated.

Looking down on the night view of Woerek, Victor felt a bit unhappy. "Wait, leave the wine."

David left the room after leaving the wine.

The fragrance of wine was strong, captivating. Shortly after drinking, Victor felt drowsy. He thought he was just tired from a day of work. When he turned off the lights, he felt a strong heat instantly rising from his abdomen. A hint of ruthlessness appeared on the man's cold and resolute face.

Victor was furious, not expecting someone to dare to play him like this. He was very angry. At the same time, there was a muffled sound coming from the balcony, as if someone had sneaked in!

Sure enough, in just a few seconds, Victor saw a black figure staggering into his arms from the balcony with a clear purpose.

Victor sneered. It's the same trick again!

His powerful hand grabbed the person's wrist, and the girl made a muffled groan. Her voice was very enticing.

Victor was extremely disgusted, and he increased the strength of his hand, causing the girl in his arms to feel pain.

"You hurt me!" Sophia, who had just escaped from the next room, didn't expect to encounter a violent person. She explained, "I was just passing by, I'll leave right away."

In the darkness, a trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in Victor's deep eyes. He felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

The girl's body was cold. The hand that Victor held was thin and smooth, causing the heat hidden in Victor's body to surge violently. He was very uncomfortable!

He felt that the girl in front of him was surprisingly attractive!

Sophia thought that she could leave after explaining, but she didn't expect the tall man to suddenly lean towards her and press her against the wall in a strange posture!

Sophia was stunned.

What was going on?

She was just passing by. What did he want to do?

Realizing that the situation was not good, Sophia nervously pushed against the man's chest with both hands, but she didn't realize that when her ice-cold hands touched Victor's body, it made him even more excited!

Her clear eyes showed surprise!

Sophia instinctively wanted to step back, but found that she had nowhere to retreat. She was panicking, and then she saw a slender hand sweeping across the bar in the darkness and picking up a bottle of alcohol.

Sophia reluctantly thought to herself that even if she secretly ran in here, he wouldn't really use the bottle to hurt her, right?

Hmm!

Just as Sophia was panicking, a cold and hard object was shoved into her mouth. The strong smell of alcohol instantly brought her drifting thoughts back. This man actually stuffed the bottle into her mouth!

Not only that, he rudely poured the alcohol from the bottle into her mouth!

Sophia was stunned and angrily pushed away the bottle, but the man forcefully held her jaw. In an instant, she couldn't move and angrily scolded in a hoarse voice, "You bastard, I already apologized to you, what else do you want?"

In the darkness, Victor's deep and merciless eyes were cold. "You first drugged me and then tried every possible way to enter my room. Did you think I would believe your words?"

Sophia felt that he was unreasonable. "I didn't. Let... let go, you bastard!"

She cursed intermittently for several sentences. Her weak strength was nothing compared to the tall man! She had been forced to drink half a bottle of alcohol!

Sophia felt really uncomfortable...

Her struggling hand gradually lost strength and slid down the wall to the floor. At the same time, the pitch-black room was illuminated. Victor turned on the lights and turned his back to Sophia to make a phone call.

"Yes, she's a thief. Also, call the police and let her spend the rest of her life in prison."

She wasn't a thief!

Sophia, who had been forced to drink, stumbled and held onto the corner of the table to get up. The alcohol made her vision hazy. Whether it was due to the drugs or anger, the excited Sophia picked up the empty bottle that he had thrown aside...

Bang!

Victor fell to the ground!

The phone he was holding also fell to the ground.

Sophia picked up the still connected phone and said, "No need to call the police. Just call an ambulance."

David was very confused.

Was that a woman's voice?

What? Victor got involved with a woman and got into trouble?

"What happened?" David asked eagerly.

Sophia hung up the phone, tugged at her collar, feeling really uncomfortable.

She decided to leave this place quickly, or it would be too late when people arrived.

Sophia had barely walked a short distance from the hotel's entrance when she saw seven or eight police cars whizzing past her, followed closely by an ambulance. Then the entire hotel was sealed off. Fortunately, Sophia had come out early and wasn't trapped inside, but she felt even worse!

When entertaining overseas, she had never been this drunk, not like today. What was going on?

Sophia hadn't walked far when she started feeling dizzy. She staggered a few steps and didn't even notice the car coming towards her until she found herself sitting on the ground.

A person got out of the black luxury car. This person was young but surprisingly handsome.

At first, Sophia could not make out this person until he came in front of her, and then Sophia reacted. It was Zach!

How could he be here?

"Sophia, where have you been all these years?" Zach grabbed Sophia's shoulders excitedly and questioned.

Sophia's body burned hot and she bit her lip, forcefully pushing Zach away. "Don't touch me."

"I am your boyfriend. Why can't I touch you? Tell me, why did you choose to be with Mr. Anderson? What did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this?" Zach questioned with a hoarse voice. He had been looking for Sophia for six whole years, but she wouldn't let him touch her.
