Chapter 552 The President’s Wife
“What’s wrong?” Alaric asked when he noticed that she seemed to be lost in her thoughts.
Victoria proceeded to share her thoughts with him.
Upon hearing her words, Alaric fell silent for a long time. One of the things he had been worried about
since she lost her memory was exactly this.
Once she asked about her parents, she would have to experience the pain and unease she had
suffered all over again because she had forgotten about it.
Was it because he mentioned his father?
If he had known, he would have postponed the topic for later.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Victoria grew curious when he remained silent. “Is there something
you don’t want to talk about?”
Only then did Alaric come back to his senses. He reached out and rubbed the back of her head as he
spoke softly. “No, I was just thinking that we should discuss this after you finish work. After all, we’ve
been standing outside the company entrance for a while now. Wouldn’t you like to go inside and take a
look? Perhaps being inside might be more helpful for the recovery of your memory.”
Alaric’s reasoning made sense, and it interrupted Victoria’s train of thought.
“Okay. Let’s go inside and take a look first.”
If she could remember something, she wouldn’t need to ask others.
After saying that, she stepped forward and entered the office.
When the receptionist saw someone entering, she instinctively prepared to greet them. But the moment
she saw who it was, her voice faltered in disbelief for a moment before she regained her composure.
“M-Miss Selwyn?”
Victoria paused as she was still processing whether the receptionist was referring to her when the
receptionist excitedly shouted toward the interior.
“Miss Selwyn has finally returned!”
Victoria was speechless.
With just those words, the employees who were still working inside all rushed out.
“Miss Selwyn? Where’s Miss Selwyn?”
“Miss Selwyn has returned?”
“Which one is Miss Selwyn?”
During Victoria’s absence, Henry and the people specifically sent by the Cadogan Group had been
diligently managing the company. So even when she was not present, the company had been well-
maintained, and the newly hired employees were aware that they had a female boss. Henry often Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
mentioned and praised her.
He praised not only her beauty but also her capabilities. He described her as a wonderful boss.
Therefore, even though they hadn’t seen Victoria, they had heard nothing but good things about her.
They were full of anticipation for their boss.
Upon hearing that she had returned, they all rushed out in a swarm.
Victoria was at a loss for words.
She stood in place, bewildered, as she looked at the crowd.
All eyes were on her, with looks of familiarity, curiosity, and various other expressions.
For a moment, she felt like she was a monkey being watched.
Many people were stunned in place after seeing Victoria’s appearance. Previously, when they heard
Henry praising their boss as intelligent and beautiful, they only believed him to a certain extent.
In their understanding, there were no ugly women in the world, only lazy women.
As long as women were willing to dress up and had money to support them, why wouldn’t they look
good?
However, after seeing Victoria, they realized that Henry wasn’t just praising her. He was stating facts.
Because… her beauty and temperament were not the kinds that money could buy.
Even with minimal makeup, her facial features were three-dimensional and remarkable. Not only that,
her
figure seemed slender yet not skinny, with all the right proportions.
There was a saying that beauty was in the eye of the beholder.
In their eyes, even her hair was beautiful.
No wonder Henry had spoken so highly of her. With her looks, she could easily compete with female
celebrities
in the entertainment industry.
Furthermore… the man beside her, who was tall and handsome, looked as if they were a perfect match
when
they stood together.
Some people recognized Alaric and quietly revealed his identity.
The crowd buzzed with excitement.
“Alaric…? Could it be Alaric Cadogan from the Cadogan Group?”
“Although it feels unreal, it is indeed Alaric from the Cadogan Group.”
“Why would Alaric from the Cadogan Group be here?”
“Are
you stupid? Our company has secured investment from the Cadogan Group.”
“Even if we’ve secured investment, it’s unlikely for Mr. Cadogan to appear here, right? Does that make
sense?”
Everyone was speechless.

It did seem highly unlikely. After all, for the Cadogan Group, their company was as small as it got. So
the reason: this man was here…
Everyone couldn’t help but set their gazes on Victoria.
It was not surprising that they would instinctively think that way. After all, this woman was so beautiful,
and
Alaric was a man.
In most people’s eyes, men were attracted to beautiful women, especially men with high status and
power.
Perhaps to go along with the crowd’s thoughts or to announce their marital relationship, Alaric
extended his arm and pulled the person beside him into his embrace amid their curious gaze.
“It seems everyone is curious about the nature of our relationship.”
Before Victoria could react, her waist was firmly held by Alaric, and her head rested against his chest.
Soon, she could feel vibrations coming from his chest.
“We are husband and wife.”
The crowd exploded with excitement at this statement.
They had been speculating, but they never expected him to directly admit their relationship so quickly.
What was even more astonishing was that they were actually husband and wife.
As for Alaric, he disappeared from the spot while holding Victoria and leaving others to speculate after
dropping this bombshell.
“Miss Selwyn and Mr. Cadogan are actually husband and wife. So, does that mean our boss is the wife
of the President of Cadogan Group?”
“Oh my! Does that mean we are working for a subsidiary of the Cadogan Group?”
Due to the investment from the Cadogan Group, many people were willing to work at this company.
After all, if the Cadogan Group showed interest and invested money, it meant the company had
excellent prospects. So, people eagerly rushed to apply for positions here.
Upon learning that they had come here for an interview, their friends, who worked at half-decent
companies, responded with a somewhat sarcastic tone.
“It’s just a small company favored by the Cadogan Group, and you guys are scrambling for positions as
if it’s a subsidiary of the Cadogan Group.”
“You’d be better off finding any random company outside rather than going to such a small workshop-
like company.”
“That’s right.”
When they heard those sarcastic remarks before, it made everyone feel uncomfortable. However, they
were feeling triumphant now.
They could lift their heads high and feel a sense of satisfaction.
What could they say when they meet those people again?

Hey, didn’t you say this was a small workshop–like company? It seems like Miss Selwyn is the wife of
the President of Cadogan Group. That’s even more prestigious than being a subsidiary!
