Vera hadn't expected Victor Morgan's sudden appearance, and Ron looked surprised as well. But his surprise was quickly overshadowed by rage. For a leader like him, being struck was an unacceptable humiliation.
"I'm sorry, Vera. I'm late. I kept getting held up on the way here, so I only just made it. Thank God I wasn't too late... But are you an idiot? Why didn't you fight back? If he'd landed a punch, have you even considered how I would have felt?"
Victor Morgan had been worried Vera was in danger, so he'd sent his men to find out what was happening. When he learned she was being pursued, he'd immediately rushed to help. He just hadn't expected to be obstructed on the way, which made his journey here frantic.
Fortunately, he'd made it in time. When he arrived, Vera was still unharmed. But this man, Ron, was there with her. Seeing him about to harm the woman he loved, there was no way Victor would let him get away with it.
