Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please! Chapter 16 - 16 You are no longer qualified

Chapter 16: You are no longer qualified. Chapter 16: You are no longer qualified. It had been half a month since Josephine Garcia’s death. During this ti, Victoria Garcia made sure her three younger sisters were settled and then shut herself away, refusing to see anyone.

That year in tropolis, it kept snowing.

Arnold Johnson sent a text ssage: I will look for you after I calm down.

He always spoke like that — Victoria really hated him.

Of course, there was sothing Victoria didn’t know: Arnold Johnson’s car was parked every night below the building where Victoria lived and left only after the lights went out.

Finally, one day, Victoria left her apartnt and took a taxi.

Arnold Johnson’s car followed the taxi until it stopped at the cetery.

Victoria, dressed all in black with a black hat on her head, had only her pale face exposed.

She looked even thinner.

Approaching Josephine Garcia’s grave, Victoria noticed a figure nearby. As she got closer, she recognized who it was.

By the ti Victoria realized who it was, Alexander Mitchell had already walked towards her.

His face was red from the cold, and snowflakes clung to his hair and clothes.

Seeing Victoria’s appearance, Alexander felt a surge of guilt and misery. Without hesitation, he rushed forward and hugged her tightly.

This action took Victoria by surprise.

If this embrace had happened that night, she would have been happy. But now, she just felt disgusted.

“Let go!”

The voice wasn’t loud, but every word was firm and resolute.

“No, I won’t let you go.” Alexander stubbornly held on to her.

Yet, Victoria repeated seriously, “I said, let go!”

After a silent five seconds, Alexander finally let go, looking at her with a pained expression.

“Victoria, I didn’t co to explain myself sooner for a reason. I really didn’t know things would turn out this way. But what you saw that night was just appearances.”

Victoria raised her head and watched him quietly. She saw his mouth moving, but it just made her feel exhausted.

“I didn’t refuse to help you. It was my mom. She said that if I could bear you asking for help twice without agreeing, she would never interfere with liking you again, and we could be together without any restrictions.”

Looking at him, Victoria sotis thought Alexander was very clever, but at other tis he seed as naive as a child.

“Even your mom knew that, given my personality, I would only ask you once.” Victoria’s voice was cold and indifferent. “But you didn’t understand.”

As Victoria’s words sank in, Alexander felt as if sothing had struck him in the head.

“That can’t be…” he muttered to himself.

Victoria didn’t like comforting people, and she certainly wasn’t in the mood to comfort him now.

However, Alexander insisted on this mont, “If that’s the case, can’t you ask for help again for my sake? Just one more ti would do. After all, who else could you ask for help with your mom’s case apart from ?”

Yes, that was why he initially agreed to his mom’s condition. He believed that Victoria had no other choice but to ask him for help, so he took that bet.

Little did he know that all along, his bet was nothing more than a pawn in soone else’s ga.
