Everything really did turn out as Edward Hernandez had predicted.

When Victoria Garcia returned with Edward Hernandez, they encountered Arnold Johnson in the Underground Car Park.

"Mr. Johnson, long time no see!" Edward Hernandez greeted with a smile. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Arnold Johnson’s expression was placid, but his words were anything but friendly, "Mr. Hernandez seems to show up just about everywhere."

"Indeed, I purchased the house next to Victoria’s, so I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of each other in the future," Edward Hernandez said earnestly with a smile.

Victoria?

At such a nickname, Arnold Johnson felt a burning anger inside him.

"Mr. Hernandez, there are some things you ought to be aware of. Even though you saved Victoria, you must know that she is Mrs. Sheng, Arnold Johnson’s wife, the legitimate Madam Johnson." Arnold Johnson said this as a warning.

Edward Hernandez was not polite in his response, "Right now, she and I are just good friends. Once you two are divorced, naturally we can develop further, can’t we?"

This frank pursuit made Arnold Johnson size Edward Hernandez up carefully.

He was dealing with Arnold Johnson, daring to steal Mrs. Sheng; was he tired of living?

"I know what you’re thinking. You, Arnold Johnson, are very formidable, but feelings can’t be forced. Since Victoria rejected you like that at the wedding, it’s clear that there’s nothing left between you but a marriage in name only. Why do you insist on clinging to her and making her unhappy? To love someone is to wish them happiness, isn’t it?"

"There’s no such thing as ’wishing happiness’ in my vocabulary, Arnold Johnson. You can forget about it for this lifetime." Arnold Johnson replied coldly, "If you dare to do anything inappropriate, I will make you realize that there’s no such thing as a regret medicine in this world."

"Pursuing Victoria, liking Victoria, I’ll never regret it for the rest of my life," Edward Hernandez declared firmly, unafraid of Arnold Johnson’s threat.

Victoria Garcia didn’t hear any part of their conversation.

When she approached, both men consciously shut their mouths.

"Paul, what would you like to eat tonight?" Victoria Garcia directly addressed Edward Hernandez, bypassing Arnold Johnson completely.

This intimate, everyday query was a direct challenge to Arnold Johnson’s limits.

Edward Hernandez was naturally delighted to play along, responding with a smile, "Victoria, I love braised pork. Could you cook that for me? Please?"

"Sure, we’ll have braised pork for dinner tonight then," Victoria Garcia agreed with a smile.

Arnold Johnson interrupted at once, "Victoria won’t be cooking pork for you. She doesn’t have to cook in our home, so please see to your own dinner, Mr. Hernandez."

"Paul is a guest I invited, so of course I’ll cook for my guest," Victoria Garcia said, dismissing Arnold Johnson outright.

Arnold Johnson, with a stern face, said softly, "Madam Johnson, I haven’t had dinner either."

If necessary, Arnold Johnson would stick to Victoria Garcia, giving no chance for the two to be alone together.

"Then Mr. Johnson can see to his own, too. There won’t be enough to go around at home," Victoria Garcia said lightly.

Watching Arnold Johnson’s face turn dark, Edward Hernandez found it extremely satisfying, so much so that it couldn’t get any better.

"I don’t care. You are my Mrs. Sheng, and whatever you eat, I will eat," Arnold Johnson said, ready to be as shameless as needed.

Edward Hernandez, do you think I’m afraid of you? Ridiculous!

Arnold Johnson cast a cold glance at Edward Hernandez, not about to let him take advantage of the situation.

Victoria Garcia understood Arnold Johnson’s personality, so she simply replied with two words, "Whatever!"

Consequently, the three of them went into Victoria Garcia’s room together...
