Chapter 197 Call Me Dear Brother (1/2)

Anne was taken aback by the coldness in Victor's eyes. Her eyes shifted to the side and became glazed with a glassy layer of tears. As she blinked, they dripped from her eyelids and slid down her cheeks.

”Anne...” Flustered, Victor murmured, seeing the tears on her face. The usual coldness on his expression was replaced by a sense of helplessness so quickly as if Anne had unknowingly flicked a switch in Victor's heart.

”You're very mean,” said Anne, feeling wronged. Her eyes and the tip of her nose reddened with shame as she lowered her head and continued crying, like a weak little kid that had been bullied at school.

Anne sniffled into his sleeves and began crying again at Victor's words.

Having achieved her goals, Anne wiped the tears off her face at once. Her tear smudged face made her look like a tender kitten.

Finally, turning his attention to Emily, Victor sneered and said,”Emily, you've tried countless times to escape, but you've failed every time. I think you should give up on trying.”

Emily frowned, and asked gloomily,”Did you install a signal jammer on me?”
