Collection-My Husband’s Regret After Discovering I’m A Billionaire Inheritor novel Chapter 45

Chapter 8

It was painful, but undeniable–three years of love wasted on a man who didn’t deserve it.

I looked at my parents‘ worried faces, and for the first time in a long while, I felt the weight lifting, replaced by warmth.

My mother’s gentle touch on my back, her voice soft, “The most important thing is you’re home.”

As soon as I stepped into the lobby, the lively scene came to an immediate halt, and all eyes turned toward me.

“Victoria Winston?”

“I’ve always known it–Victoria is just a cunning, poor girl. She plays the obedient role, but beneath it all, she’s clawing her way up the social ladder, desperate to get to the top!”

“Exactly. Now that Charles is engaged, her little fantasy is crushed, and she’s here to make a scene. Only someone like Charles would treat her like she’s worth anything.”
