What the hell are you doing, huh?” Margaux Cadell asked Zoe.They were inside the old woman’s car parked at the street side. “I am sorry, Madam,” Zoe replied. "I've been trying to reach Victoria. But she's not picking up her phone or responding to my texts. She's probably busy with her acting career."Margaux muttered, "Then why did I bother meeting you? If you can't help me, you might as well leave the country."Zoe nervously smiled and said, "I'll do everything I can to get in touch with Victoria, Madam."“You should. I won’t allow Gray to marry with the Red family. Do anything to persuade Victoria to marry my grandson. Do you understand?”“Yes, Madam.”"Alright, you can go now. Keep me updated.""Got it." Zoe got out of the car. She was just about to close the door when..."Oh, and one more thing," Margaux said."Yes?"Margaux looked at Zoe's legs and smirked.

Can you tell us about your last conversation with him? What did he say to you?"Victoria paused for a moment before responding."I honestly didn't know it was Samuel.

I didn't think much of it," she explained.The man continued to question her, his gaze unwavering.Victoria felt the weight of suspicion on her shoulders.'First, it was attempted murder. Now, it's a real murder,' she thought to herself."I do have an alibi," Victoria stated fi

Victoria paced around her room, phone in hand, waiting for Gray to arrive. An hour passed, and still no sign of him."Should I go wait for him by the gate?" she wondered.Deciding to meet him halfway, Victoria left her room. As she made her way, she noticed the guards leaving their posts.'They're not supposed to leave,' she thought, hiding behind a tree to eavesdrop."It's our duty, but I feel bad for Miss Victoria," one guard said.The other guard added, "I know. Victoria's parents were fine with Gray, but Sir Mikhail is taking it too far by not letting him in to see his sister."Finally, Victoria understood why she heard nothing from Gray.'Mikhail prevents him from meeting me,' she realized.Once the guards were gone, Victoria stealthily made her way to the gate. From there, she spotted Mikhail and Gray in each other's company.Moving silently, she positioned herself close enough to eavesdrop on their discussion."I already told you she's not my sister.

"I swear to get my revenge on Victoria!""I bought my coat in Paris. But I have to throw it away because of her! Damn it!"Samantha and Britney both raised their beers. They are inside the bar, cozily sitting on the second floor amidst the loud music.They couldn't get over the fact that they were humiliated by Victoria inside the mall!"Can't we just upload the video?" Samantha asked.Britney answered, "Are you crazy? Our lawyer said we have a low chance of winning. They are people who witnessed us. If we cut the video, it will be easy for Victoria to claim that we did it.""F*ck. How can we take our revenge?" Samantha wondered."Hey. Remember that thing from the past that made Victoria do whatever we wanted?""You mean the secret we have on her?""Yeah. Let's use it again.

Britney inquired.Samantha nodded. "Yes, Victoria is in there. And thanks to the cocktail she drank, she'll be out cold for an hour."Britney chuckled, "That's what she gets for messing with us. Her career is done for. We'll make sure she regrets it forever."She reached for her phone."I hid a camera in there. Let's see what happens!" Britney exclaimed.They both peered at the phone screen.
