Chapter 1167 The companionship in childhood doesn't matter for him.
When Victor saw her cwith him, shortly after a trance, he remained calm again, as if it was a disillusion.
Victor becfamous when he was still young. It was uneasy to figure out what kind of person he was. He was used to controlling the situation and never allowed himself to go beyond his control.
Silence gradually hung in the air, and Elinor felt it and glanced at her watch. It was around 12 o'clock.
At this tyears ago, she would prepare gifts and cakes and send her blessings to Victor on tat twelve o'clock.

She may be unfamiliar to these things now. She looked up at Victor who was waiting for the lights to dim, and sneered slowly.
Victor may not cherish her previous companion at his birthdays now.
And he may want to forget the bad memories with her.
Sure enough, five minutes before twelve o'clock, the lights of the venue dimmed, leaving only a warm yellow light on Victor who was standing in the center of the stage.
In a suit, he should already be regarded as a man, not a boy, calm, mature and impressive.
Elinor eyed him for a long moment and then took back her eyes.
Victor, we haven't seen each other for two years. You are still surrounded by the attention and pursuit of others, while I am still a nobody hidden in your shadow.
But it is also good.
I am too humble to stand by you.
Elinor shook her head with self-mockery. For an ordinary person like her, she should live a normal but happy life herself. What Victor once said was right. She can't match Rankin and himself.
Kemp saw Darleen on the other side of the stage shooting a video, froze, shook Elinor's sleeve. "Look! Is that Darleen?" Hearing his words, she stiffened, looked in the direction pointed by him, and saw Darleen. But everyone's attention was paid to Victor, so nobody cared about her position on the stage.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe seemed to be a good match for Victor.
She was a noble lady of the Harvell family, and he was a powerful man of the Borris family. They were a good match.
Elinor said to Kemp, "Yeah, it's her." "Tut." Kaliyah stood with Elinor, holding her arms in her chest, and whispered, "She's shameless." "Don't say that." Elinor covered her mouth. "She didn't do anything wrong." Kaliyah was unconvinced, but when she saw Elinor's eyes, she gave up what she was about to say. Victor was making a long speech on the stage Under the stage, Kaliyah stared at Elinor's eyes, saying word by word, "Elinor, always gave up those things that once belonged to you." The Sue Group should be hers. But she gave up the money Quincy gave her and worked alone abroad to feed herself.
"But Victor is not mine." In the face of distress in Kaliyah's eyes, Elinor said, "Don't feel distressed for me. I was willing to pay in my relationship. So although I got nothing back, I wouldn't be resentful, for nobody pushedto do so." "But more than that-" Kaliyah pressed Elinor's shoulders in a hurry. "He got too much form you, and he even forced you. If he refused you all the time, I would see him as a good man. But after he forced you he even abandoned you. It's not about your willingness. He's a so selfish scumbag." Afraid that her words attracted the attention of others, Elinor covered her mouth and said, "I'm fine now. I have worked through that." Victor thanked all the partners invited by Dixon on the stage. It was obviously his birthday, but he acted as if it was a thank-you meeting. Finally, a luxurious cake was served, and he cut it and made the champagne tower. Then there was a round of applause to hail him.
Elinor also applauded and saw that the lights gradually lit up. The waiters cut the cake into small pieces and slowly put them on the buffet table. When she about to taste it, a voice sounded.
"Isn't she Miss Harvell? When Victor was on the stage just now, she was also there." "Their secret affairs were in the open." "It's a secret anymore. Darleen always followed Victor wherever he went. Can't you see that?" "They have been in relationship for a long time. They have known each other since in high school. Victor is always cold, and only Darleen can stay with him."
It was right. Others girls once tried to hang up with Victor, but he was so cold. He was only patient when Darleen talked to him.
Victor went down, and many people below waited to make a toast to him.
Elinor and Kaliyah were squeezed by the crowd. Kaliyah was impatient. "Holy fuck. They're happier to see Victor than their parents. These fucking..."
Before she finished, she was dragged by Elinor. "Stop, Kaliyah your father's friends are among them." "I can't bear that." Kaliyah's eyes were rimmed red. "I only tolerate you. I can't bear that scumbag-after he did so many disgusting events, bye" how can he still be flattered others? Draleen met him in high school? What the fuck is it? You've known each other over a decade. How can he just abandon your relationship?" How can he just abandon your relationship? The heat stung Elinor's eyes when hearing her words. But she can't allow Kaliyah to be so excited, so she can only pull her to a quieter place. "I've worked through it! You don't have to feel distressed foragain. I'm fine."
