Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Boomerang
The day before the incident, Ansel had visited a married couple’s home to treat his facial wound. As he was about to leave, his thoughts were interrupted by an invitation to work with Fransisca. If he hadn’t told the couple this important news, he couldn’t imagine how his own selfishness would have destroyed their harmonious marriage. Therefore, he resolved to be their hero.
"Matthias, Victoria, there’s actually something important I want to tell you."
"What important thing?" Matthias replied with a serious face.
"Actually, Fransisca asked me to work with her to destroy your relationship."
Victoria smiled sarcastically. "I suspected from the start that she was targeting me to end my relationship with Matthias."
"So, what should I do now? Of course I don’t want to betray you guys because you’re my friends." Ansel lowered his head in resignation, scratching his head in annoyance.
"You should work with her," Matthias suggested casually.
Ansel widened his eyes. "What?"
"Matthias is right. I also want you to cooperate with Fransisca. Wouldn’t that make it easier for us to expose her evil deeds?"
"But, is it okay?"
Matthias put his arm around Ansel’s shoulders tightly. "I need someone she really trusts. If she trusts you enough to help her, we won’t have to worry about what she’ll do to us. You can report anything to us."
"Besides, you’re so good at acting, Ansel. I still remember seeing you always save us."
Matthias narrowed his eyes at his wife for a moment. "Why are you so impressed with another man?"
"Because only Ansel is always the key that can help us."
Ansel smiled broadly at his friend. "Okay, if you guys support me working with her, I’ll definitely do it and not disappoint you. Now what should I do?"
Matthias rested his chin on his hand. "I’m sure she’ll target me, not Victoria."
Victoria furrowed her eyebrows. "How can you assume that?"
"From what I heard, she targeted you from the start because she was jealous that you were able to marry me. Now, she’s definitely looking for a way to steal me away from you. I’m sure she’ll do it soon."
Ansel rested his chin on his hand. "So, you’ll let her do anything, even if she tries to trap you?"
"Of course. I had to act too so she’d fall into the trap I’d set."
"But is this a good idea? What if you fail and actually fall into her trap?"
Matthias looked at his wife with a relaxed smile. "I wouldn’t be so stupid as to fall into a trap because I don’t want to disappoint my wife again."

The next day, while Matthias was having fun with Victoria after baking brownies, Fransisca suddenly contacted him. Victoria already suspected that the person contacting Matthias wasn’t just a work colleague, but she pretended not to know anything by finishing the brownies.
After Matthias ended his conversation with Fransisca, he was immediately interrogated by his wife. After further consideration, he realized that Fransisca was truly planning to set him up today. Therefore, he finally decided to tell his wife the truth.
"I’m sorry, Tory. It wasn’t actually a coworker who contacted me earlier, but Fransisca."
Victoria furrowed her eyebrows. "Actually, I suspected from the start that it wasn’t your coworker who contacted you. But why is she calling you on a day off?"
Matthias shrugged. "I don’t know. I’m also confused as to why she suddenly called me to the hotel and sounded like she was forcing me."
"It seems like she wants to trap you today."
"It’s time for me to act in front of her."
Victoria rolled her eyes. "What if you really do fall into her trap? I’m sure she’ll make you sleep with her if she asks to meet you at a hotel."
"In fact, I’ve already devised a plan to make Fransisca think I’m truly caught in her trap." For a moment, Matthias hugged his wife’s curvy body tightly. "Tory, you don’t need to worry about me. Even if I’m given poison or hallucinogenic drugs, I can still control my thoughts. I still think about you. You’re the only woman I love most."
Victoria kissed her husband’s forehead. "Anyway, if you fail, I won’t forgive you. Moreover, this mission is quite dangerous and will ruin our relationship. Is that okay with you?"
"I’m very sure that this stupid action of hers will boomerang on her."
"Well, if my husband is doing it, then I definitely trust you completely."
"Thanks for trusting me, Tory. I’m getting more and more excited to trap her too."
In fact, when Fransisca first told Matthias to drink water, he already strongly suspected the water had been contaminated with hallucinogenic drugs. Even as he was about to swallow the water, he could already sense something strange when he inhaled the unusual scent. Therefore, he now wanted to pretend that he had indeed lost consciousness due to the hallucinogenic drug.
He deliberately acted drunk the entire way to the hotel room, even though he was still sober. That’s why when Fransisca wanted to kiss him again, he avoided her at all costs. He was forced to remove her shirt to make it look like he really wanted to sleep with her.
Meanwhile, Victoria was starting to panic, sensing her husband was in danger. She knew exactly what Fransisca was going to do in the hotel room with Matthias. Therefore, she quickly visited the hotel and located the room Fransisca had booked. She didn’t want to wait at home and hear bad news from Ansel.
Victoria could actually have seen the video before she even entered the hotel room. Ansel video-called her to show Matthias pretending to sleep with Fransisca. Although it was only an act, Victoria couldn’t contain her anger, which was about to explode.
Therefore, when she entered the hotel room with the spare access card that Ansel had given her earlier, without hesitation she immediately pushed Fransisca’s body away from Matthias’s body and then slapped her face as hard as she could to vent her anger.
