Andrew turned his head to look at Victor standing not far away. His face was cold.


    Andrew thought, ‘It seems like the Carter family hasn’t learned the lesson yet and you still dare to mess with Bonnie.


    ut, “Is it you?”


    Victor was taken aback but quickly realized who Andrew was, Victor blurted out,


    His voice was incredibly strained. “Is Mitchell yourst name? Are you from the Mitchell family of Betrico?”


    Andrew lifted his chin defiantly, his words were enough to infuriate anyone.


    “It’s me. I didn’t know the Carter family would fall apart so easily. I just moved a finger, and you all fled Betrico so pitifully. If


    I had known. I would have been gentler. Did I overestimate the Carter family?” said Andrew.


    Victor clenched his hands tighter and tighter when he listened to the harsh words.


    His eyes drooped, and a fierce expression spread across his face. He remained silent for a long time.


    After a while, he lifted his head and put on a polite smile as he faced Andrew, showing no sign of his earlier malice.


    His tone was excessively pleasant, with a touch of ttery. “Hello, Mr. Mitchell. I’m apologizing to Bonnie, and I didn’t mean to bother her. You can ask anyone around. I’m sincerely apologizing to her. I hope she can forgive the Carter family; The incident yesterday was Winona’s fault. If Bonnie is still upset, I can have Winona apologize to her personally,” said Victor.


    Andrew looked at Victor and put on a faint smile.


    Andrew thought, “This guy changed his behavior so quickly. Did he experience some shock?”


    Andrew tilted his head to ask Bonnie in his soft voice. “Do you need Winona toe over herself?”


    Bonnie shook her head quickly like a rattle and hurriedly said, “No, I don’t have the time to get tangled up with Winona. They can just stay far away from me.”


    Andrew couldn’t help butugh. He flicked her forehead and then ruffled Bonnie’s soft hair.


    Andrew thought, ‘Feels pretty good.’ He whispered softly, “It’s up to you.”


    Bonnie stood there stunned, staring at Andrew with a sudden flutter in her heart.


    Bonnie thought, Andrew actually looks quite handsome!


    The next moment, Bonnie thought, ‘Oh no… It must be my imagination. I must have a fever to think Andrew looks attractive.


    Andrew sneered at Victor. “Did you hear that? Keep your fiancée away from Bonnie from now on. What happened in Betrico is just a heads up,” he warned.


    With that, Andrew pulled Bonnie away, leaving Victor standing by himself.


    The surrounding students were gossiping curiously about Victor


    Victor controlled his anger and walked away.


    After today, probably everyone at Apex Urban University would know about this; his reputation and dignity werepletely ruined.


    In the Carter family, Winona sat on the sofa, sipping the milk prepared by Yulia.


    The only person in the Carter family that she could manipte currently due to the child in her belly was Yulia.


    No matter what she said or wanted. Yulia had to listen and obey


    With Yulia, Winona found her confidence again.


    All the morning Winona directed Yulia to do errands for her and even to bring her water.


    Seeing Yulia’s frustrated but quiet expression, Winona felt a twisted sense of satisfaction.


    This was the life she had always wanted, where she could have the upper hand.


    Victor drove quickly away from the school and sped back to the Carter family.


    He saw Yulia serving coffee to Winona, Furious, he stormed in and without saying a word, pulled Winona off the couch.


    With a look of innocent confusion on Winona’s face, he pped her hard.


    Winona fell onto the carpet, immediately protecting her belly.


    She knew her unborn child was her best chance of survival and nothing could happen


    to it


    Yulia quickly realized what had happened, crouched down, and anxiously checked Winona’s belly. “Is your belly okay? My grandchild! Hurry, get Mark and a doctor over here!”


    Winona’s pregnancy was just under three months, and it wasn’t stable yet.


    Yulia feared this fall might end her hopes of having a cherished grandchild.


    Winona felt certain her belly wasn’t seriously hurt. She bit her lip, terror in her eyes, and looked up at Victor, crying pitifully. “Victor, why did you hit me? What did I do wrong? How can you treat me like this when I’m carrying your child?” Yulia also scolded Victor. “Victor, what are you doing? Can’t you just talk calmly? Winona is pregnant!”


    Victor’s blue eyes were unreadable, with a hint of red at the corners, and his lips curved into a mocking smile..


    His eyes were full of hostility as he looked at Winona, his gaze cold and devoid of any emotion.


    Victor’s demeanor made Winona increasingly uneasy.


    Originally confident, she didn’t know why her confidence began to fade away.


    For a long time, Victor’s gaze was cold as he nced at Winona, who had been supported onto the couch by Yulia.


    He said mercilessly, “Do you not know the mess you caused? You shameless woman. With just one p, you ruined the path my grandfather and sister had carefully nned for years. The Carter family could have reached greater heights, bar because of you, it’s all ruined now.”


    Winona knew she had caused this and didn’t dare to argue. She could only look at Victor with pleading eyes.


    With eyes full of deep emotion, she said, “I’m sorry, Victor, I know I was wrong. I really didn’t know Bonnie had such strong backing. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have shed with her. Mom was there too; you can ask her about it. I got pped by Bonnie twice as well. Didn’t you see how swollen my face was yesterday?


    Yulia, worried that Victor might hurt the child, could only agree with Winona despite her conscience. “Yes, Victor, that Bonnie hit back too. How did things get so out of control?”


    Victor looked at the timid Yulia, wishing to tell her the truth but fearing it might be too much for her health to handle,N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    The words he was about to say were swallowed back down forcehilly.


    With eyes like a wolf, he stared at Winona and spoke each word clearly. “Let me tell you, Winona, my mom is the hostess in the Carter family. You’re just carrying a baby. If I ept the child, he’s a Carter. If I don’t ept him, he’s illegitimate. If I see you bossing my mom around again, you’re out of here. Do you really think you’re some kind of heiress? The truth is, you’re just an illegitimate child. Zachary doesn’t acknowledge you, and the Smith family is bankrupt. Right now, you’re just a burden on our family. If you don’t get that, take your kid and leave.”


    Winona’s body shook. In disbelief, she looked up at Victor, unable to understand why he would say such ruthless things.


    After speaking. Victor suggested Yulia to go upstairs with him.


    Yulia was worried about Winona’s baby, but she couldn’t go against Victor and followed him upstairs.


    Winona sat on the sofa, her expression slowly bing distorted as she stared at Victor’s room upstairs.


    She silently made a firm resolution, thinking that if Victor was going to be unkind, she wouldn’t be kind either.


    Winona took out her phone and dialed Robert. As soon as the call connected, her voice changed immediately. It was tinged with a slight sob. I’m so scared, Victor wants to kill me. Hurry,e save me.”
