The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 270

"Mrs. Prescott, what are you doing?"

Victoria’s eyes widened in shock as she moved to help Abbey’s mother up.

But before she could reach her, Mr. Prescott knelt beside his wife.

The couple collapsed to their knees, their heads hanging in absolute shame.

Through her tears, Mrs. Prescott’s voice trembled as she repeated, "Miss Sanger, we're sorry. We're so sorry! The Prescott family has wronged you. We've wronged your family!"

Victoria froze, a cold feeling sinking into her heart. "What do you mean? What do you mean you've wronged my family?"

Mrs. Prescott looked up at her, her lips moving, but she was crying too hard to speak.

Mr. Prescott put an arm around his wife and spoke to Victoria in a heavy voice. "Yesterday… Abbey contacted us…"

"You've heard from Abbey Prescott? Where is she?" Victoria asked urgently.

Mr. Prescott pressed his lips together, saying nothing, while his wife continued to sob in his arms, looking like she might break down at any moment.

Seeing their hesitation, Victoria grew frantic. "Mr. Prescott, Mrs. Prescott, I'm begging you, tell me, where is Abbey? I…"

Suddenly, Elias stepped forward and placed a calming arm around Victoria's shoulders.

He then turned to the silent, kneeling couple. "Whatever you have to say, please get up first."

"No, we were wrong. Terribly wrong. We deserve to be on our knees," Mrs. Prescott said, her voice choked with pain and guilt. She looked at Victoria through a blur of tears. "Miss Sanger, it's our fault, it's…"

Elias’s eyes narrowed. "Are you trying to pressure Victoria by doing this?"

Mrs. Prescott immediately shook her head. "No, that's not what we mean."

"Then get up and talk," Elias said, his tone cold and commanding.

The couple shivered involuntarily.

Victoria gradually calmed down. She pulled away from Elias and moved to help them up.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Mr. Prescott met Victoria's gaze and finally allowed himself and his wife to be helped to their feet.

A few moments later, the four of them were seated.
