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
However, Noemia promptly threw the keys at her. “Why can't you just stay here?” Victoria was speechless, for she simply couldn't afford to live here! Maybe she should check out the rooms and think about how much rent she could pay Noemia, but Victoria didn't know how Dahma Village 2 was coincidentally Jackson's real estate investment. This neighborhood, or rather condominium, was one of the most expensive properties in the city, so although Victoria grew up comfortably, it was a real revelation. Dazzling chandeliers hung from the ceiling. The tiles had a retro feel. All the furniture was automatic. It wasn't the kind of place Victoria could live in. Although the Lazer family was wealthy, they were completely out of Noemia's league, and Victoria couldn't help but sigh as she looked around. “Noemia, this place is beautiful.” “Really? Even though I don't like living in a house, I personally took care of the renovation and hired the best interior designers to work on it.” The mome
He felt it was inappropriate to discuss such a serious matter in the bedroom as well. “Shall we go then?” - Noemia pulled Victoria along while Harvey followed. The three of them chatted as they walked to the well-lit living room on the first floor, and Noemia went into the kitchen to prepare tea for them, and Victoria followed behind Harvey and sat down on the sofa. “Why don't you take a look at the material I have here and ask if you have any questions?” - Harvey asked casually after sitting down. Victoria carefully examined the documents as he said, and since her head was lowered, her dark hair kept spilling forward. For a moment, Harvey wanted to help pull her long silky hair, however, he suppressed this desire. He was a gentleman, so he couldn't touch a woman's hair, as it was simply rude; instead, he simply sat quietly and looked at her. “Harvey, does this mean that the whole process will be done on my behalf?” - After Victoria had finished reviewing the material, she aske
Noemia knew what she meant. “Don't worry, I won't tell him about the children.” “Thank you.” Victoria nodded. Noemia was more than happy to help, and as long as they were friends, she would help Victória until the day they died. The two dropped the subject and started talking about something else, and before long, they arrived at Valentina's apartment. Noemia parked her car to let Victória out. “Noemia, be careful and drive safely. After I've finished moving in, I'll buy you dinner.” Victória bent down and said to Noemia as she got out. “Sounds like a good plan.” Noemia nodded. “And that way, I can also stay with my nephews after you've moved into the mansion.” “Then it's settled. Once I've moved in, you should move in too.” Victoria smiled. “Drive carefully.” Victoria said once again as she waved goodbye. Noemia turned the car around and headed for her apartment, and the moment she got out, Victória stayed where she was for a while before heading back to Valentina's apartmen
“Daughter, that's normal, children do throw tantrums, and in fact, they're already very obedient children.” Valentina touched their heads and said indulgently. “They're growing up so quickly. As they grow up, their personalities start to develop, so it's normal for them to be a bit persistent with what they want.” Victoria felt helpless, so she crouched down and opened the bag. There was a fancy custom-made robot and a personalized Barbie doll inside, and Victoria looked at the price tags. How could a pair of toys cost more than two thousand reais? Why were they so expensive? Everything Jackson owned was incredibly expensive. Victoria really didn't dare take them out now and let the children touch them. Every moment the children played with them, their depreciation was worth more than a thousand dollars. “You can only look at the toys. Do you understand? I helped my friend buy them, so you can't damage them. If you break the toys, I have to pay for them!” Victoria said patientl
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.
