Chapter 104
The lanky man looked shocked for a moment when he saw Victoria.
She is super pretty, but I don't know her.
The older woman by his side also narrowed her eyes when she saw
Victoria and stared at her carefully.
"Who is she? Did you hook up with another one behind my back?!"
The man hurriedly explained, "No, Jean! I don't know why she's here talking
to me. I don't even know her! H-Hey! Who the hell are you?"
He was actually a temperamental person. However, as much as he
wanted to go off on Victoria for suddenly approaching him and talking to
him, he didn't have the heart to get angry, considering how shockingly gorgeous she was.

"Does it matter whether you know me or not?" Victoria only coldly stared at him. "What matters is what you said. You claim to love her, yet you have a child with another woman. Do you think you are being fair to any of the people involved in this?"
When the man heard this, his face turned red. "W-What does it have anything to do with you?"
Unlike him, the woman beside him remained silent as her face grew
somber.
Victoria's lips curled into a smirk. "I simply can't stand your pretentious display of affection."
"How dare you? Don't think I won't beat you up just because you're pretty!"
Perhaps provoked by her words, the man suddenly raised his hand at Victoria, wanting to intimidate her.

Even though he didn't intend to hit her, a strong hand surprisingly grabbed
him the moment he raised his palm.
"Who the f*ck is touching me?!"
The man looked up and found himself staring into a pair of deep, dark
eyes hidden behind a pair of glasses. Although the eyes were concealed,
they exuded a profound coldness, sending shivers down his spine. With a gentle twist of his hand, the man let out a series of agonized screams while sweat rolled down his forehead.
Bane only released his grip when he saw the man in pain. He then took out
a clean handkerchief from his pocket to gently wipe his fingers as he
raised an eyebrow and mentioned, "This is what you get for wanting to lay
a hand on a woman."
After wiping his hands, he tossed the handkerchief into the nearby trash
bin.

"Let's go." His voice was much gentler when he talked to Victoria. Victoria had never seen him in this light before. She instinctively nodded and hummed in acknowledgment upon hearing his voice.
The two of them then left the restaurant together. Even from a distance,
they could still hear the tall and skinny man hurling vulgar insults at them.
It wasn't until his voice was drowned out by the bustling city traffic that they could finally find some respite.
And when the cold wind blew, Victoria began to come back to her senses. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
When Bane heard her apology, he let out a leisurely chuckle. He couldn't resist the urge to reach out and rub the back of her head as he watched her blame herself.

Unfortunately for him, Victoria instinctively moved aside, avoiding his
touch before his hand could touch her.

Bane's defined fingers lingered in the air for a moment. His gaze darkened,
but he quickly regained his composure and smoothly retracted his hand.
He was back to his relaxed and gentle self soon. "It's nothing."
Victoria felt somewhat awkward about what Bane tried to do. It seemed
that he was still subconsciously doing what he was used to when they were children.
But has he ever considered the fact that we are no longer kids? Thinking about him casually tossing the handkerchief after wiping his hands, she couldn't help but ask, "Have you developed OCD after being abroad for five years?"
They had only briefly touched each other's hands through a layer of
clothes, but Bane immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.
Not only that, he even threw the handkerchief away.
He paused for a moment when he heard that before suddenly grasping Victoria's wrist.
Although she didn't hate Bane, the physical contact made her feel
embarrassed, She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Bane
already released his grip as he shrugged.
"Do you still think I have OCD?"
He did that to prove that he doesn't have OCD, huh? It seems his
personality has completely changed after spending five years abroad.
He promptly added in a calm tone, "I just thought that touching him dirtied
my hand, considering how he is involved with two women."

Victoria's gaze dimmed slightly at that.
She thought about Alaric again.
Seeing her fall silent, Bane sighed and continued, "I don't know if I'm telling
you too much, but everyone in our circle has always known about Alaric
and Claudia's relationship. As for your marriage with him..."
He paused mid-sentence. I'm not sure what exactly is going on between you two, but it seems that you are not fond of this kind of relationship. If it is causing you pain, it will be better to end it sooner." Although Victoria had known Bane since childhood, there was always a
certain distance between them. She didn't want to share too much about
her life with him.

Hence, she simply smiled and nodded at his advice. "Alright, I understand."
Bane left the matter at that and didn't continue talking about it.

"Do you really not want me to take you back?"
"Nope. You can go ahead."
"Alright. I'll wait with you here until you get in the car."
Victoria could only agree as she felt hesitant to reject his offer.

When her ride arrived and she was about to get in, Bane suddenly took out
his phone and opened a QR code.
Victoria only glanced briefly at it and noticed that it was a QR code.
"Weren't you going to transfer money to me just now?" he asked.
Victoria only snapped back to reality when she heard his words.
She quickly took out her phone to scan the code, only for it to be a QR
code for adding a contact on WhatsApp.

Bane looked at her with gentle eyes.

"Let's exchange numbers before you transfer the money."
Even though she was reluctant, she eventually agreed to it. After adding him to her contacts, she got in the car and left shortly after. Now that Bane had added her on WhatsApp, he stood by the roadside and watched her car disappear into the distance. Instead of leaving immediately, he clicked on her WhatsApp Status and carefully browsed through it.
He only remembered something after he was done.
"Look into Victoria's recent activities and whereabouts," he instructed after
giving his subordinate a call. "Yes. Find out where she has been
specifically, and send me the compiled information."

After hanging up the phone, he gazed in the direction the car had gone
with dark eyes.

Victoria's relationship with Alaric was by no means usual.
But the most abnormal thing was her eating habits.
He had seen her five times now, and three out of the five times was when
he saw her enjoying her drinks, seemingly without any loss of appetite. However, she seemed to have a fear of greasy foods.
This behavior reminded him of his young stepmother who hid from and
avoided him because she feared that he would harm her during her pregnancy. Despite that, the woman couldn't hide her eating habits.
It wasn't like Bane wanted to be suspicious of Victoria.
It was just his past experiences that led him to think that way when he
tol 10x the Woman He Had His Eyes On
saw her like this.
Furthermore, she was the woman he had his eyes on.
Since she was the woman he had set his sights on and wouldn't easily let
go, he naturally wanted to know everything about her.
11/11
In fact, after experiencing five years of struggles abroad, the current Bane
desired absolute control over what he wanted. He would never just yield to
anyone.
The incident when he lost her when he went abroad five years ago and
her becoming someone else's wife would never happen again.
