But if Rachel remembered correctly, this would be the first time she had met Maria. However, the hostility in Marias eyes made her wonder if they had met before. Also, Maria didnt seem surprised about her being alive, but her being here.

In the past few days, I havent been able to rest well. Im feeling tired. I may have to leave early.
Ivan, please send Mother home, Victor ordered in a low voice.
Seeing that she wouldnt get what she wanted here today, Maria nodded to Victor and left. She knew that she would only get furious if she stayed.
After Maria left, the reporters looked at Victor eagerly and expectantly. They were all waiting for him to speak.
Carson, who stood next to Victor, tried to hold back his shock and doubts and noticed the blood dripping down Victors arm. He shifted and blocked Victor from all the reporters view and asked in a low voice, Are you okay? If not, dont worry. We can do this another day
