Chapter 172 Throw The Cat Out 

Rachel frowned at what was happening. Seeing Victor’s tall figure approaching, she stepped back, unsure of what to do next. The sofa was right behind her, leaving no more room to retreat.

“Vic…” “Ah!” Alicia’s piercing scream echoed across the room. “Meow!” A shrill yowl followed after. Before Rachel could figure out what was going on, a snow-white figure hit the corner of the tea table and fell to the floor. Then, it let out a weak cry. It was the cat!

Rachel knew that her cat had hurt Alicia, so she took full responsibility for the incident.

“Throw the cat out!” Victor ordered in a loud voice while removing Alicia’s arms from his waist. He couldn’t afford to risk Rachel’s health at this stage of her pregnancy. “Wait!” Rachel stopped the servant and was about to take the cat back. Seeing that Rachel was going to touch the cat again, Victor’s face twisted into a snarl. He shouted at the servant, “Didn’t you hear
