FULL NOVELXO Departure with a Belly Chapter 90
Chapter 90
It was only when Claudia’s forehead almost came into contact with the
steps that she realized things had gotten out of hand. She only wanted to
fall over, not injure her face.
At the most critical moment, she subconsciously covered her face with
her hands, but she still injured herself terribly. Everyone could hear her
crashing into the steps with a thud.
“Claudia!”
Her friends came to their senses and rushed over to help. The people from
the private room also arrived at this point.
Victoria was rooted to the spot, remaining in the same posture. She looked
at her hand and squinted her eyes. I didn’t touch her at all. How did she
even fall over? Did she twist her ankle or something?

Just then, an icy voice was heard asking, “What happened?”
Hearing the voice, Victoria seemed to realize something.
出
Alaric and Bane arrived at the same time. When Alaric saw that Victoria’s
hair was a mess, his expression changed as he spun the woman around
to face him. “Did she hurt you?”
At that moment, a startled Victoria looked at the man in disbelief. Was I
the first one he noticed when he arrived? I’ve always thought he’s
concerned about Claudia only. Is that what Norwood meant when he told
me to feel it with my heart?
Before she could ponder, someone called out, “Claudia is bleeding, Alaric!”
Hearing that, Victoria subconsciously lifted her gaze, only to be met with
Alaric’s dark gaze. He was also staring at her, but his gaze was conflicted.
She pressed her lips together and remained silent. Let’s see what he’ll do.

I’ll find out if I’m significant in his heart this time.
While she was deep in thought, she felt the man loosening his grip on her
shoulders. Her pupils dilated as her heart sank. She took a look at the
man’s hands.
Alaric noticed her glance and pressed his lips into a line. As though having
made up his mind, he whispered, “She’s injured. I have to take a look.”
There you go. I’m not so important to him, after all. Victoria put on an
almost imperceptible sneer, which served as a response to the man’s
words.
Alaric frowned at her reaction, so he clenched her shoulders and said
through gritted teeth, “Wait for me.”
The next moment, he released Victoria as she watched the man shuffling
toward Claudia. Her shoulders slumped as though she didn’t have any
energy left to support her weight.

Just then, a pair of hands came into contact with her shoulders. A startled
Victoria turned her head.
Bane sensitively caught sight of the sorrow behind her gaze. He calmly
adjusted his glasses and flashed a smile at her. “Are you alright?”
Victoria only pursed her lips in response. The next instant, a mu ffled cry
caught her attention.
Presently, Claudia covered her forehead with her hands as blood
streamed through the gap between her fingers. The blood was in stark
contrast to her fair skin.
Victoria furrowed her brows when she saw so much blood, not expecting
the woman to be badly injured.
“It was Victoria who pushed Claudia!” someone shouted all of a sudden.
In an instant, everyone shifted their attention to Victoria.

While staying by Claudia’s side, Elaine glared resentfully at Victoria. “Yes, it
was her. Claudia went to talk to her, but she pushed Claudia away. That’s
how Claudia crashed into the steps!”
Hearing that, those who came from the private room recalled seeing
Victoria extending her hand. Did she push Claudia away? She’s pretty
ruthless if she really did that.
All of them looked cautiously at Victoria, who remained unfazed. Alaric
carried Claudia from the floor and said grimly, “We’ll look into the matter
later. Let’s send her to the hospital first.”
Then, he brushed past Victoria with Claudia in his arms while Claudia’s
friends followed them. When walking past Victoria, Elaine said smugly,
“Let’s see how you’re going to explain it.”
She tottered away after mocking the woman. Those who came from the
private room exchanged glances in embarrassment.

It was a welcome-back party for Bane, but everything ended up in a
mess. As such, they apologized to Bane, who gently told them it was fine.
He asked them to go home first and come out for a gathering next time.
Following the incident, they were no longer in any mood to party, so they
went home respectively.
After they were gone, Victoria turned around to leave. Bane extended his
hand to stop her and said, “I’ll send you home.”
Victoria pushed his hand away. “Thanks, but there’s no need for that.”
With that, she ignored Bane’s reaction and moved forward. When she
rounded a corner, she saw Norwood standing there on his own.
As their eyes met, Norwood appeared hesitant to speak. Victoria flashed a
smile at him and whispered, “I’ll take my leave now. We’ll meet again if
there’s a chance.”

Norwood swallowed his words and nodded with difficulty. “Sure. Stay safe.”

“Thanks.”
Norwood watched the slender figure leave. It wasn’t until the woman was
out of sight that he pocketed his gaze and shook his head helplessly. Are
the two of them not meant to be together?
The chilly wind at night made Victoria feel uncomfortable.
Presently, she was seated on a long bench just outside the hotel on her
own with a pair of wireless earbuds in her ears while she listened to
Summer’s intense cursing.
“Da mn it! Those women are shameless! How did they have the nerve to
do that? Also, Claudia was so bold. She was even willing to risk deforming
her face to frame you. That’s pretty awesome, eh? I finally understand why

you’re not a match for her. She can do everything just to achieve her
goals!”
Claudia had helped Victoria before. Even though Victoria regarded her as
a love rival and couldn’t be her friend, she still had a good impression of
Claudia. She believed the woman wouldn’t do any despicable things.
However, she was certain that she didn’t touch Claudia at all, so how did
the woman fall over earlier? Was she trying to frame me? Or was it merely
an accident? A doubt remained in her heart.
“She’s been sent to the hospital. Let’s see what she’ll say.”
Hearing that, Summer sneered. “Not like it’s hard to guess. She’s trying to
frame you and sow discord between you and Alaric. When they ask her
about it, she’ll anxiously say that she fell over accidentally. She’ll also tell
Alaric not to blame you because it was her fault for losing her balance.
Let’s make a bet.”

Victoria pressed her lips together and remained silent.
“I’ve seen many b*tches like her. She’ll pretend to put in a good word for
you, but everything she says will imply that you’re the culprit. Don’t you see
her motive? If she didn’t want to frame you, why did she even approach
you suddenly?”
