Trapped By Tainted Love

Victor stepped on a glass shard.The crisp sound reminded Alice of the sound of a breaking neck, instilling fear in her heart to the point that she clammed up.

"Alice, do you really think I wouldn't find out that you switched Rachel's examination paper using my name during her interview?" Victor asked, glancing down at her.

"Mr.Sullivan, I'm so sorry.I know I shouldn't have given my sister a hard time in your name, but I did that because..."

Alice summoned up the courage to stand up.

"I have feelings for you!"

After saying that, she looked at him, holding her breath and feeling tense.

Moments later, Victor held her chin.

"You like me, huh?"

Alice's eyes lit up when she heard him say that.

"I do.Ever since the first day I met you, I've fallen in love with you.Victor, if it weren't for my sister, I would've married you.Unlike her, I will never—"

"Alice."

Victor smirked as he called out her name to interrupt her confession.

Alice froze upon seeing the disdain in his eyes.

It seemed that he wasn't pleased to hear her confession.

"Who do you think you are? Do you honestly think you deserve to have feelings for me? No matter how terrible Rachel was, she is still the eldest lady of the Bennet family; an identity recognized by everyone.You are nothing but an illegitimate daughter.You're nothing compared to her! Rachel doesn't even deserve my love, and yet you think you do? Preposterous!"

Victor emphasized the word "preposterous", as if her confession was a joke to him.

All the hope in Alice's heart dissipated like melting ice.

"Victor, I-"

"Watch your tongue, Alice! I'm your boss, and you will address me with respect.You have no right to speak casually to me.Anyway, don't let me catch you sabotaging Rachel again.If I can easily make her a gofer, just imagine what I can do to you.If it pleases me, I can even make you a dustman on the streets!"

With that, Victor walked away without a second thought.

Alice was left there; her face as pale as a ghost.She could no longer keep herself standing, and she fell to the ground momentarily.

Once he had left the Crown Club, Victor went back to his company.
