Chapter: 745

But if Rachel remembered correctly, this would be the first time she had met Maria. However, the hostility in Maria's eyes made her wonder if they had met before. Also, Maria didn't seem surprised about her being alive, but her being here.

‘If we have never met before, why is Maria glaring at me? And if we met before, Maria should know about my death four years ago, why isn't she surprised? Unless..'

Rachel's eyes darkened. ‘Unless Maria knew the entire time that I am alive. Maybe that's why she isn't shocked, but only surprised that I am here. This is interesting. '

Suddenly, her eyes filled with curiosity.

But before she could think about it some more, her vision was blocked by a tall figure. Victor also noticed that Maria had been glaring at Rachel. He frowned and stood in front of Rachel.

"Mother."

This was how Victor addressed Maria in public.

It wasn't a secret that Victor was an illegitimate son. But when they were in public, they maintained their decency.

Maria smiled gently, as she looked at Victor.

"Victor, is everything okay? I heard you had some accident on the way here. I was worried.

I was worried that you would end up like Odin. I'm so relieved that you're fine." Her face showed concern and worry as if Victor was her own son and not her husband's illegitimate child.

Holding the position of Mrs. Sullivan, Maria knew how to put on an act.

“Sorry if I worried you, Mother." Victor's tone was indifferent.

"It's good that you're fine. If something had to happen to you, I wouldn't know how to face your grandma in heaven." Maria feigned sadness.

"Since you're fine, you should get the press conference over with. I thought you would have been caught up in some situation."

Although Maria hated that Victor was here, she pretended to be gentle and dignified.

"In the past few days, I haven't been able to rest well. I'm feeling tired. I may have to leave early.”

“Ivan, please send Mother home," Victor ordered in a low voice.

Seeing that she wouldn't 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 Victor's arm. He shifted and blocked Victor from all the reporters' view and asked in a low voice, “Are you okay? If not, don't worry. We can do this another day

"No!

Suddenly, a drop of blood fell to the floor.

Since the floor was covered with a dark red carpet, the drop of blood couldn't be seen. But Rachel saw it.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Victor tremble slightly.
