Jayric went to visit Victoria after work, and she was playing with the children in bed, and he was also holding a huge basket of fruit in his hands.When he entered after knocking on the door, he was instantly surprised to notice the beautiful children on Victoria's bed, and was completely intrigued to wonder who those children were.“Victoria, those children...” Jayric asked curiously as he entered with the fruit basket, for the children were extremely beautiful and looked like celebrities.The only thing was that he was wondering why the boy looked a little familiar to him. In fact, he looked like someone he knew, and as Jayric took a good look at Enzo, he somehow felt as if he looked like someone he knew.“Who does he look like?” Jayric asked himself in a whisper, and yet he couldn't remember who it could be.“Jayric, what are you doing here?” Victoria asked.She felt as if her heart had leapt into her throat in that instant as she watched him approach from where she stood, and the
“Oh, auntie, the thing is...” Jayric wanted to reply, but he was cut off by Victoria. “Auntie, it's nothing to do with me, in fact, it's just work-related stuff. It involves some private matters, so we had to contact the authorities. The client wants me to be responsible for it, but it's nothing. Everything will be fine once a statement has been made.”“Oh, work-related matters?” Her aunt replied, feeling relieved, after all, everything would be fine as long as it didn't involve her Victoria.Victoria nodded and, after some thought, realized that Jayric would undoubtedly be a ticking time bomb if he remained there. “Jayric, could we talk about work outside?” She asked Jayric. “But can you get out of bed now?” Jayric asked.He was no fool, as he knew she didn't want her family to know about the incident, since she had interrupted him earlier.“I can. I'm fine now,” Victoria replied as she got out of bed. “Auntie, just stay with the children here for a while, as I need to talk a
Victoria's aunt was helpless as the children cried for her, yet Victoria wouldn't allow them to eat any more, so all she could do was comfort them. “Oh, baby, I'll make you some pumpkin porridge later, okay?” said Victoria.Enzo shook his head as he pointed to the banana, because all he wanted to do was eat a banana. It seemed that he was beginning to reach the age when he would have fits of rage, and Enzo then sat down on the floor and continued crying. As his sister usually imitated what her brother did, she started crying on the floor too.Victoria really felt like hitting him, but as her children had always been obedient, she never had the courage to hit them. She refrained from hitting her children and taught them patiently. “You're the older brother, Enzo, you should be a good role model for your sister. Haven't you eaten an orange before? Since you've already had one, we'll have more again after we've eaten some pumpkin porridge, okay?” said Victoria. “No, I want that...” E
“Auntie, I'm going to get some fruit with him. Why don't you stay and help look after Lara?” said Victória.Victoria didn't want to keep talking about it. What if Enzo suddenly lost control and recognized her as his mother? Then all her efforts would be wasted, and she should just go and buy some fruit with him. “You've just recovered. Are you sure you can go down and buy some fruit?” Valentina was more concerned about Victoria's health. “I think you should stay here. Why don't I go with Mr. Carson?” “I'm almost fine.” Apart from feeling a little weak, Victoria actually felt much better. “Are you sure you're ready for this?” However, the moment Valentina brought this up, Jackson showed his caring side and looked sideways at her while asking worriedly. “I'm fine!” Victoria said as she almost rolled her eyes at him.Even though she was perfectly fine, she had no interest in going down to buy fruit with him. She had no choice but to swallow it all since he insisted.The moment V
In addition, the bodyguard automatically took the bag of fruit after payment.“Do you want to buy anything else for Enzo?” Jackson asked. “No, thanks. Let's go upstairs.” Victoria was worried that Enzo might crack and blow his cover if they stayed out too long. “I'm starting to feel a bit weak.”Evan checked the paleness of her face, and as she had only just recovered, he didn't insist and followed her as she carried Enzo up the stairs to the hospital ward.Before they returned to her room, Evan thought about the poisoning incident and he had many questions. “How's the police investigation going?” “Someone deleted the surveillance footage, but they don't know who did it.” Victoria was happy to talk about work.In fact, she was happy to talk to him, as long as it wasn't about personal matters.“What does the IT department have to say about it?” “They don't know how the surveillance footage was deleted either.” Victoria answered frankly.Jackson acknowledged softly as he frowned
They went together to the press conference, and by now, many reporters had already arrived at the place, which was then packed with people. Victoria had never seen a press conference in person before, so she was naturally anxious.Fortunately, Samanta was there to try to calm her down. Samanta and the culprit were the main attraction at the press conference, and as the real victim, there was no reason for Victoria to be afraid.Victoria gradually pulled herself together as she sat next to Samanta on a chair in front of the table and waited for the press conference to start, and when the culprit finally arrived, he came in with red eyes. He had obviously cried before coming here.He didn't sit down immediately, instead he stood in front of Samanta and Victoria and bowed to them before apologizing to all the reporters standing there.“Victoria and Samanta, I'm sorry about what happened. I got greedy and exposed Ms. Barros' wedding dress, and I put the blame on Ms. Lazer. My actions h
The moment Victoria escaped, she ran into Jayric, who had been in the meeting room earlier, and left to answer the phone. As soon as he finished, he wanted to go back to the meeting room to find Victoria, but she left while he was on his way back.“I saw President Carson at the press conference, why don't we go and say hello?” Jayric said gently.“Jayric, I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling well. Do you mind if I go back first?” Victoria refused to go, and hastily pretended to look bad as she said it.“What's wrong? Are you sick?” Jayric was completely unaware of her pretense. Instead, he was genuinely worried and concerned that she was ill.“Maybe I haven't fully recovered yet.” Victoria said as she covered her stomach. She looked so bad that Jayric gave up on the idea of greeting Jackson.“In that case, let me give you a lift back to the office.” He could go and say hello to Mr. Carson on his own.“Let me talk to Mr. Carson first.”Victoria nodded as Jayric entered the conference room
“Victoria, are you going to stand outside and let everyone see the blush on your face?” Jackson looked at her and said. “Let's go. My car's out front.” Jackson walked over to the car.Victoria looked at him and suppressed her anger before following him. After they finally got into the car, Jackson leaned back comfortably in the leather seat before telling the driver to drive.Victoria looked out of the window at the landscape as the car gradually pulled away from the hotel.“Mr. Carson, what do you want to talk about?” she said coldly.Jackson certainly didn't have any business to talk to her about, and just closed his eyes slightly as he rubbed the top of his head gently.“Victoria, since you're such an intelligent woman, don't you already know why I want to share a car with you?”The man's palms felt warm and good. The moment he touched Victoria's head, she could feel the electric current running through her and instinctively avoided his hand.“I'm a bit tired after a long meeting l
She stopped thinking about it and started concentrating on her work, and finally, the draft of Soraya Carson's project was almost finished. All that remained was to take her measurements, which she had to call and ask for. And, of course, she still had to get the designer's approval. Victória picked up her phone and called Soraya, and little did the young woman know how much the lady missed her. “Victoria, it's been so long since you last called me.” Soraya couldn't help but complain, and Victoria felt a little embarrassed. “Mrs. Carson, I've finished the designer of your coat, and I'd like to know if you have some time tomorrow, so I can take a look and see what you think?” “Sure, what do you think about coming to my house?” Soraya replied, worried that she wouldn't get the chance to have lunch with Victoria.“All right, then I'll come to your house first thing in the morning! “Victória replied.After agreeing on the time and date, she had a short chat with Soraya before hanging
It wasn't long before the moving company's truck arrived at Valentina's apartment, and both she and her aunt asked the movers to take their luggage and everything else downstairs. The whole process took about half an hour, before everything else was put into the van. Suddenly, Valentina got emotional, as she had spent almost her entire life living in that apartment, and now, she was moving away, and it made her feel a little strange. Victoria could tell that her aunt was feeling a bit emotional, but they wouldn't live a peaceful life if they didn't move, so she just had to comfort her aunt, since she was entirely to blame for everything.“Auntie, don't feel sad, our new life will start at Noemia's!” “I know.” Valentina sighed. Valentina sighed. “I'm not sad, but I just can't bear to leave this place I've lived in for so many years.“When I earn enough money in the future, I'll buy a house that belongs to us, I promise!that belongs to us, I promise!” Victoria continued to comfort
Marrying someone from the Carson family? Was she qualified? Ciara's jealousy and anger exploded inside, and there was no way she could allow that to happen. Definitely not in this life, and now that Victoria had hurt her mother, Ciara couldn't let things happen. She had always been very close to her mother, and Ciara almost spat fire from her eyes. She reached out to hug her mother. “Mom, don't cry. How could she hurt you? I won't let her get away easily.”“I know. But now that she has Jackson as her sponsor, how can we deal with her?” Suelen asked.If she wasn't close to Jackson, they could easily silence her. But now with Jackson's involvement, it wouldn't be easy to even get close to her.“Don't worry. We can think of something together!” Ciara patted her mother on the back and comforted her. “Mom, it's okay. It's not possible for her to marry Jackson, and I'm sure he's just playing with her feelings. When he gets tired of Victoria, he'll leave her eventually.”Ciara knew the
“I hope so!” Although she may not need to worry too much, she still shouldn't let her guard down.The Lazers used to be influential, and today she had Jackson's help and he had even threatened Cassia and Suelen.They might be quiet for a while, but there was no guarantee that they would stay that way forever, and it would be better if Victoria just kept an eye out, though.Soon, the porshe arrived at her aunt's apartment, and Victoria got off, then bent down to wave goodbye to Noemia before going upstairs.When she opened the apartment door, her aunt was waiting for her in the living room, and when she saw her coming home safely, she almost screamed.“Victoria, are you all right?”“Auntie, I'm fine!” Victoria said as she took off her shoes.Just then, her two precious children came running because they hadn't gone to bed, and hugged her thighs and started calling her name.T
Victoria didn't want to bring up the subject, but Jackson had helped her a lot, and she felt obliged to at least let him know why.“Actually, there were some problems with the inheritance my mother left me, and today, I came especially to talk about it, but they tricked me into mentioning it just so I'd come here. “ She bit her lips softly before speaking.“And what was the value of the inheritance she had left?”“Not much.” She replied, after all, for Jackson who had a net worth of tens of billions to his name, his mother's inheritance of two hundred thousand would be like dust to him. But with that money, she could provide a better life for Enzo and Lara. “It's about two hundred thousand, and that amount was left by my grandfather to my mother when he was still alive.”John Lazer always treated her mother kindly, and he knew that her father was having an extramarital affair, so he left th
“If anything happens to your aunt, I'll let the people who hurt her suffer a hundred times more than what they put her through!” Jackson gave his words to Victoria in a serious tone.The commanding tone and general aura coming from Jackson sent shivers down the spines of Cassia, Suelen and Ricardo, and made them very uneasy, as Jackson was known for his reputation for being ruthless.“Mr. Carson, it's all a misunderstanding. We're not the kind of people who use brutal force to solve problems!” Cassia gave Jackson a forced smile, suppressing her anger and fear towards him.“Cassia, if that's the case, that would be great. Victoria is my wife and I hope she doesn't get hurt or compromised in any way!” Jackson looked at them coldly.His tone was strong and intimidating when he proclaimed his relationship with Victoria officially in the Lazers, and it made Victoria feel a little awkward and blush.Even No
After receiving her orders, the bodyguards immediately began to search, and upon realizing the situation, Cassia began to panic.“Mr. Carson, it's illegal for you to search someone else's house!”“So hiding my wife isn't illegal, Mrs. Lazer?” Jackson looked at her and sneered as he said it.Cassia was speechless the moment he said it, as her expression immediately turned pale.She then gave the man sitting on the sofa a sharp look as she wondered what to do.The whole Lazer family would undoubtedly be ruined if he actually found her.However, just as Cassia was wondering what to do, Jackson noticed the photo on the table, picked it up to take a look, and Ciara answered immediately before he could ask anything.“Mr. Carson, my sister is getting married soon and her husband is the man in the picture, so it's impossible for you and my sister...”A loud slap could be heard the instant she
As soon as Jackson spoke, Noemia nodded, but the truth was that she didn't want Jackson involved in this, because it meant that Victoria would have to owe her a favor again. What would happen if he found out the truth about Victoria's children then? Well, the results of the first paternity test had been faked.However, this had already made him want to take the test a second time, and things were different at the moment, because she didn't want anything to happen to Victoria. Besides, she had no idea what her cousin was doing at the moment, since she hadn't heard from him since. So the only person she could trust was Jackson. So the pair entered the Lazer family mansion together.The Lazers were having dinner at the moment and there was no one present in the living room, and when the maid who was cleaning the room saw Jackson after they entered, she took a step back. “Who are you? This is private property, and no random person is allowed in!” She immediately tried to kick them out.
After the quick conversation with Victoria's aunt, Jackson immediately told his assistant to investigate the situation as soon as he left her apartment.After the phone call ended, Jackson remembered that Victoria's only best friend was Noemia, and Maison told him that Noemia was the one who had picked her up from work earlier. He immediately found Noemia's number and called her, and Noemia only answered the call after a few long seconds.“Did Victoria leave with you, Noemia?” Jackson asked in a deep voice.“No!” Noemia denied immediately, as she didn't want Jackson to get involved in this.“Noemia, Victoria is missing, right?” Jackson continued as he walked, and his voice got deeper, which made Noemia a little afraid of him. “Do you want me to look at the Carson Group's surveillance footage to find out who picked her up from work?” Noemia immediately remained silent as she bit her lip.“Fine, I'll tell you the truth!” It seemed she couldn't hide it from Jackson, so she admitted it.
