Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 1019

"Hub... Hubby..."

Her voice startled Trevor. He answered anxiously almost at the stime, "Vicky, what's wrong? What

happened?"

He had long forgotten where he was. Trevor did not bother to suppress his voice as he continued to call out to

her. Vicky's nechoed throughout the room. The moment Selena heard the name, her face turned dark

instantly. "Hubby, | seem to... have gotten into strouble... | didn't do it on purpose!"

While speaking, Victoria couldn't hold back her tears anymore. The more she tried to control herself, the guiltier

she felt and she sobbed harder.

"It's okay, don't be scared. Where are you now? I'll be right there!"

After ending the call quickly, Trevor turned around and rushed back into the room. He reached over and picked

up his car keys on the table and said, "I have something urgent to do. | have to go now!"

Before Selena could wrap her head around the matter, Trevor already ran to the front door. Selena quickly got up

and chased after him. Seeing him like that made her mad with fury.

"Trevor, erkhem... wait..." she called out between coughs.

Selena continued to cough.

"Miss Duff, are you all right? Master Trevor, Miss Duff doesn't seem too good..."

"Master Trevor..."

Selena pretended to cough harder and rushed to the door in without pause. However, when she reached the

door, she only heard the screeching sound of the car's engine starting and driving off. He was gone!

Nina had tried to get his attention, telling him that Selina wasn't feeling well, but he had ignored them and left

without even turning back!

Selena dug her sharp fingernails into her palm. A dark storm began to brood in Selena's eyes...

Trevor sped towards Victoria's location. When he got out of the car, he saw Victoria cowering in a corner. She was

surrounded by two burly men. She looked small and helpless. She seemed to be saying something before she

was shoved by one of the men. With few big strides, Trevor ran over as he cried out, "Vicky..." When she looked

up and saw him, Victoria tried to make a run for it, but someone grabbed on her wrist and said, "Are you

planning to run off before the police arrive?"

"What are you doing? Letgo! I've said that | won't run off! My husband is here!"

"lI won't run away from my responsibility, but don't you dare accuse me! It's one dollar, and it's my words against

yours!"

As they were busy arguing with one another, Trevor walked over and bellowed, "What do you think you are

doing?"

With a loud roar, both men released their grasp from Victoria's hand before he did anything more. She quickly

ran over to him and cried, "Hubby!"

He held her hand gently and looked at her wrist. Trevor wrapped his arms around her and comforted her, "It's

okay! Don't be afraid!"

Trevor glared at the men coldly and asked, "What's going on?"

Upon hearing Trevor's voice, the two men took a step back in fear and looked at each other. The slightly thin and

frail man in a black tracksuit, Vince said, "She broke one of our antiques..."

Trevor's eyes swept over and he spat coldly, "Did |

ask you?"

Vince choked on his own words and shut his mouth. He exchanged a glance with his partner, Saul.

At that time, Victoria sobbed and said,

"I don't know what happened. | was

0

just getting sfood, and somehow bumped into their briefcase He said it contains porcelain vases and

antiques from the Kangxi era... He demanded that | pay him 30 thousand dollars, and he even called the police!

It's not like | said that | wouldn't pay..."

She just didn't had her card with her at the time!

Apart from the few hundred dollars of cash she had on her, she didn't have anything else. Normally, she would

just use her e-wallet to pay for everything. She did not top up too much money in it for safety purpose, and as

she rarely used it lately, she didn't realize that she had already used up the money in there, and she had not

topped up yet.

She had been holding on all the while just waiting for Trevor to show up! The point was that she needed to find

out if the antiques were really worth 30 thousand dollars. Although it wasn't a huge sum of money, but she didn't

want to get cheated! What's more, the entire thing had happened in a few seconds in a blur. Vince and Saul were

fierce and they even called the cops in front of her. Everything had happened too quickly and she was terrified.

The thought of dealing with the police after that made Victoria's face turned paler. She didn't try to run off, and

she didn't destroy their antiques on purpose. Would she go to jail for that?

Trevor's gaze fell on a blue leather briefcase on the side. It was half-opened and contained fragments of a

porcelain vase. Apart from that, there were also soil stains from the food Victoria was holding.

As soon as she finished her words, Saul suddenly burst out, "What do you mean 30 thousand? It's 300 thousand!

This porcelain vase cfrom the Kangxi Emperor's era. It was one of a kind, and we even have a certificate of

authentication for it!" As he shouted, Saul also pulled out a card from the foam covering within the briefcase.

As he waved the card in his hand, Victoria's face turned pale again, "What? You clearly said it was 30 thousand

earlier!"

How could he add another zero to the figure just like that?

In an instant, she felt as if someone had struck her on the head, her mind was filled with a loud sound of buzzing.

Glancing around, Trevor realized what had happened. He was just suspicious of the two men earlier, but he was

almost sure that Victoria had been scammed by them then. It was no wonder that she had no idea how she even

bumped into their briefcase. D*mn these men! How dare they terrify his woman!

Stroking Victoria's hair, he embraced her and said, "A porcelain vase from the ancient time. 300 thousand isn't a

big deal!"

What?

She couldn't believe her ears and looked up immediately. Victoria stared at him with tears in her eyes. She was

stunned and thought to herself. What was he talking about? Was he just going to splurge 300 thousand dollars

like that?

Earlier, she was already feeling guilty enough. Then, she felt as if she were dragging him down with her.

Similarly, Vince and Saul were also stunned for a moment. It was as if they didn't expect to swindle someone so

easily.

Before Victoria could react, Trevor had already made a call, "I've run into strouble, | need you to bring 300

thousand dollars cash toright away!"

"Hubby?"

Victoria called to him urgently, but Trevor had already hung up the call. He raised his hand and rubbed her head,

"Everything's fine! Don't say a word!"

Wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes, Trevor lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead

gently. Then, it seemed like he sent out a few more text messages on his cell phone.

When the two men heard his call, they were obviously a little worried. However, the thought of 300 thousand

dollars was too much of a temptation, so after making eye contact with each other several times, they decide to

continue to wait there. Soon, a black car pulled up at the side of the road, and a young man walked over with a

black leather briefcase.

"Master Trevor!"

"There you are!" Glancing at the man, Trevor asked, "Did you bring the money?"

The man flipped the briefcase and unlocked it. Inside were wads of dollar bills. Inmediately, Vince and Saul's

eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. Trevor signalled to the man and he approached them.

Seeing everything that happened, Victoria realized she couldn't let it go on like that. Even if Trevor had the

money, he shouldn't spend it like that! Obviously they said it was 30 thousand just a few minutes ago!

As soon as she tried to move, Trevor placed more strength into pressing her to his side. At the stime, he

whispered into her ear, "Don't be impatient, just wait and enjoy the show!"

Her eyes swept across his face and saw a strange smile spread widely across on his face...
