Chapter 149 Love Lost and Locked Out
Finished
Last week, Easton had bluntly stated that Ellis could no longer affect him and should boiler someone else instead. This indirectly told Victoria that he was divorced and she could legitimately reclaim her place.
However, before Victoria could finish probing Easton’s feelings, she was met with his icy glare.
“Are you and Morty both unable to understand plain English? I told you, don’t bring up my divorce with Ellis in front of me! What does our marital status have to do with outsiders?”
Easton had never felt such an odd sensation of being poked in a sore spot, and it made him irritable. He was truly divorced- from Ellis, no longer just contemplating it whenever she pushed for it.
“Easton, I was almost your wife, and we were engaged for many years, you… Victoria struggled to understand. To her, Ellis was someone Easton had been forced to marry, and mentioning their divorce shouldn’t have been a huge mistake.
Did Easton not view his divorce from Ellis as a good thing? Why did he get angry every time it was mentioned? This wasn’t the Easton she knew.
The Easton she knew was ambitions and proud. Even when he failed to secure his place as the heir to the Hudson family, he didn’t lose his temper like he did today; he used to be someone who seemed above being disturbed by worldly matters.
Finally losing all patience. Easton pressed the intercom and commanded, “Come in, and escort the unwanted guest out of my office.
Victoria’s face fell in shock. “Easton
After hanging up the phone, Easton stared coldly at Victoria, “Don’t call me with such sweetness, you’re just a nobody
Unable to stabilize his emotions and plagued by insomnia, he was close to losing control. Victoria’s continued presence and her familiar terms of endearment now sounded grating, even nauseating, to him.
Victoria was utterly confused about where she had gone wrong.
Upon Easton’s declaration of an intruder in his office, the security department quickly dispatched two personnel to the top. floor.
Before being escorted out, Victoria wisely left Easton’s office herself, but Easton and Ellis’s divorce supposed to be my chance to
shine!
When she was kidnapped, Easton had been willing to pay 14 billion for her safety!
Puzzled by Easton’s abrupt change, she asked a passerby, “Who is Taylor? Easton told me to find her.”
Having been a frequent visitor, the staff of the CEO’s office knew Victoria well, and the person she asked eagerly led her to Taylor.
Just after a meeting, and before administration had moved her to the new office, Taylor was temporarily located in a corner of the CEO’s office suite,
Seeing a subordinate with Victoria, who looked every bit the affluent noble, Taylor had a good idea of her identity.
Without Victoria speaking. Taylor greeted her first with a smile, “Hello, Ms. Victoria.
“Are you Taylor?” Victoria dropped her previous pretense of dealing with Easton, speaking in a seemingly friendly manner but scrutinizing Taylor’s appearance.
Plain–looking and dressed conservatively. Taylor seemed to be in her thirties.
Taylor nodded, “Yes, I’m Taylor! How can I assist you, Ms. Victoria?”
Before Victoria could respond, two security officers suddenly appeared, asking Taylor, “We received orders from Mr. Hudson about an intruder in his office. Can we go in and remove the unwanted guest?”

Caught off guard and realizing they were referring to her as the intruder, Victoria felt a surge of nervousness.

Taylor frowned slightly. On my first day as Easton’s assistant, is there already a lapse in security allowing unauthorized accento Mr. Hudson’s office? Which fool caused this?
As Victoria asked for her, comparing the urgency of removing an intruder versus helping her, Taylor decided to address the latter first
“Ms. Victoria, please give me a few minutes”
As she signaled the security officers to follow her to Easton’s office, Victoria, under the watchful eyes of the staff struggled to admit she was the intruder and fell silent.
A few steps ahead and with her back to Victoria, Taylor missed her attempt to speak.
Upon entering Easton’s office, they quickly scanned for the intruder, but found no one except Easton, who sat stern–faced at
his desk.
The security officers felt a chill down their spine. They had rushed to the top floor and only delayed a minute or two to ask Taylor, yet the intruder had vanished.
As the CEO’s assistant, where keeping sharp vigilance was essential. Taylor assured, “Mr. Hudson, someone entered your office without permission; it’s a lapse by the CEO office staff, I will ensure it doesn’t happen again.”
