Trapped In A Marriage I Never Wanted-Chapter 77: Help Victoria

The next day, Matthias, of course, kept his promise to his wife, wanting to end this whole situation quickly. Moreover, this situation was truly unforgivable, as it involved his wife engaging in illicit sex with another man. Just the thought of it made him sick.

Luckily, Chris still made time to meet him, even if it seemed abrupt. Matthias didn’t care what kind of reprimand Chris had planned. Just looking at Chris’s face disgusted him.

"It’s unusual for a perfectionist CEO to come to me in the morning without an appointment." Chris placed black coffee on the table for his special guest.

Matthias smiled sarcastically, crossing his legs. "I heard you’re looking for female models to promote your new product."

Chris snapped his fingers. "I’m sure you’ve heard from Victoria. I’m actually recruiting a suitable woman to shoot a new summer product commercial."

"But, why choose Victoria among all the models in this city?"

"Because Victoria happens to be the perfect fit for advertising that product. Her physique is perfect, and her face is truly beautiful."

Matthias wanted to throw his hands in Chris’ face, the moment he heard his wife being verbally abused. "Don’t ever dare to openly praise her face and body using your dirty mouth!"

"Didn’t you ask earlier why I chose Victoria to help me?"

"The point is, I don’t want you to tell Victoria to do it." He laughed irritably as he took a sip of his coffee. "Did you approach her on purpose just to take advantage of her? It just so happens that her studio’s finances are unstable, and by offering her this substantial bonus, you thought Victoria would be happy and accept this lucrative offer."

"Matthias, why are you defending Victoria so much? You’re just business partners."

"No. Victoria and I have been dating all this time."

Chris’s eyes widened. "What?! So that sexy and handsome man is you?"

Matthias furrowed his eyebrows. "She spoke to you that openly?"

"Yeah, she’s so enthusiastic about you that she even considers you her real husband." Chris shook his head. "I still wonder why all the women are so crazy about you. Especially Victoria, who’s so over the top."

"Now, back to my purpose for coming to you. I’ve heard your reasons for recruiting my girlfriend as a model for your new product. Can you cancel that agreement?"

"I can’t cancel it that easily. If you ask me to cancel it, you’ll have to pay a fine too."

Matthias’s patience was now nearly exhausted. He slammed his fist on the table until the back of his hand turned red. "You bastard! Victoria accidentally signed that agreement because she was drunk at the time!"

"Still, the agreement that has been signed must be implemented."

Because Chris insisted on not wanting to cancel the agreement, in the end Matthias decided to bring out his trump card so that Chris would not dare to do anything to him and Victoria.

"Okay, then I’ll let Victoria shoot your new product commercial. But there’s one condition you have to fulfill."

"What conditions? How dare you want to negotiate with me."

"If you don’t comply with these conditions, T&H Real Estate will officially sever ties with your company. We won’t be stupid enough to help a scumbag CEO who only uses a woman for his own gain."

"What requirements do I have to fulfill?"

"Replace that male model with me. I’ll be the one shooting the commercial with Victoria."

Chris’s gaze immediately widened. "Are you crazy? You’d go this far?"

"Why? Don’t I have the right to do it?"

"I never thought you’d be so possessive, Matthias! Just because you heard your girlfriend being affectionate with another man and kissing, you immediately sold yourself."

"Actually, I’m not selling my self-esteem. But I want to raise the self-esteem of my lover that you lowered!"

Chris burst out laughing, patting the back of the sofa. "This is the first time I’ve seen you defend a woman this much. Do you really love her?"

"Whether I love her or not is irrelevant to you. What’s certain is that if you still want to work with me, you have to comply with my wishes. Besides me being the model for the advertisement, you also have to change the scenario."

"You are truly very impudent, Matthias!"

"That’s why I want to warn you now. You’ve chosen the wrong target. If you dare to play with my lover, I certainly won’t forgive you."

Chris took a deep breath. "Okay, what scenario should I change?"

"No swimming scenes in the ocean. I don’t like seeing my girlfriend flaunting her body in public!"

"That is it?"

Matthias nodded. "Yeah, I wouldn’t be comfortable swimming either."

Chris folded his arms and raised an eyebrow haughtily. "You’re in luck, Matthias. The male model hasn’t signed a contract yet, so you can still participate."

"Thank you for letting me do it with my lover."

*****

Of course, the successful outcome of his negotiations with Chris had to be shared with his beloved wife. Now he wouldn’t have to worry about her studio’s fate being ruined simply because of Chris’s greedy attempts to manipulate him.

Matthias took the initiative to visit his wife after work. Today, he didn’t want to let her go home alone, as if they weren’t married. He actually missed going home with his beloved wife, as he’d been busy with work lately, or she’d been busy with client meetings outside the office.

Upon arriving at the studio, Matthias immediately walked quickly to his wife, who was still tidying up the table. He flashed a beaming smile and hugged her tightly.

"I did it."

Victoria widened her eyes as she stared at her husband. "Really? Can you really cancel that contract?"

"More likely, I didn’t succeed in canceling the contract. But I did succeed in changing the advertising concept for the product."

"How?" Victoria widened her happy smile as she lifted her head in front of her husband’s handsome face.

"You should definitely clear your schedule for the next few days. We’re going on vacation."
