After listening to Steven Han's explanation, Isabella finally understood.
Every strange reaction Victor had shown in the car, every suppressed breath, every vein that had bulged at his temples, every hoarse command that sounded like he was about to lose control… it all had a reason.
And that reason made her stomach twist.
She had thought Victor was simply angry, angry to the point of wanting to humiliate her. She had even misunderstood him for a moment, thinking he might be the type of man who could do something impulsive in the car when his temper flared.
But now she realized it.
Victor was not that kind of person.
She had lived in Sun House for long enough to know. He was domineering, arrogant, and cold-blooded at times, but he had never truly crossed her boundaries.
Even when he was furious, he still held back.
Even when he had every "right" to demand something from her, he didn't.
And today… he hadn't been holding back because he was kind.
