“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
Maybe one day after she submitted to him and became his wife, she could be sweet to him, but she definitely wasn't sweet just yet.“Why don't you try to get to know her?” Soraya continued to probe when he refused to answer, and Jackson just smiled. “Grandma, since you like her so much, I don't mind trying with her.”“Really? Really?” Soraya felt relieved to hear her grandson say that. “You should have tried dating someone a long time ago, it's past time, you need to build a family.” “That's good!” He really wanted to try dating someone now, but he wasn't planning to get married, he simply wanted to experience that feeling. Meanwhile, in Victoria's apartment, she took the morning off work so she could start packing, and thought about the fancy mansion Noemia had offered her and felt bad about moving. However, it was imperative that she moved, otherwise Jackson might keep coming to the apartment to look for her, and she was genuinely worried that he might steal her children one day.
Victoria remained quiet, and Jackson certainly had a good memory so he could even remember someone like Harvey.[Yes, I'm dating Harvey. If you know better, you should stay out of my way].Jackson pursed her lips as she looked at her answer. Was she blatantly teasing him? However, he didn't reply to her message, instead he narrowed his eyes as he contemplated the message, and it looked like he had to see Harvey tonight.In the evening, when it was time to leave, Jayric checked his watch and decided it was time for dinner when he finished his work, so he left his office and went to the design department.“Shall we go? I'm buying dinner tonight!”“Jayric, you're the best boss!” The moment the designers heard that he was buying dinner, they all stood up one after the other and flattered him happily.“Jayric, where are we going tonight?” A sweet young designer asked.“Are we going to karaoke after dinner? Or are we going to party instead?”Victoria didn't mind going to karaoke or to a cl
“What do you think?”How could any of the other designers object when she asked? “Shall we order some beer then?” Everyone readily agreed. “Victoria, would you like a drink?” Lisa asked as she poured herself half a glass of beer before walking over to Victoria and picking up the glass in front of her. “Let me pour you some.”“I'm sorry Lisa, but I can't drink anything with alcohol in it!” Victoria replied, after all, she was still breastfeeding her children. How could she drink alcohol?“What's the problem? Am I not good enough for you to drink?” Lisa asked with a fake smile. “Don't you want to leave things behind?”Victoria glared at Lisa as she mocked her heart. She certainly had no intention of being friends with Lisa, as she could still vividly remember Lisa poisoning her drink earlier. Although there was no hard evidence against Lisa, no one else in the company would want to hurt her like Lisa did.As there were many designers watching, it wasn't the right time for her to fight
As Victoria got up to use the bathroom, Maison ran up to the second floor and waited for her in the bathroom corridor, standing in front of her, blocking her way as she left the bathroom. “Miss Lazer, President Carson is waiting for you upstairs. “ he said politely. Is Jackson here too?“Maison, I'm sorry, but I'm off the clock, and I don't want to see Jackson right now!” Victoria frowned and felt a little repulsed as she said it.“Please don't make this difficult for me, Ms. Lazer. The president told me to tell you explicitly to meet him upstairs.” However, Maison followed her as she said it.Victoria bit her lip as she wondered how she was making things so difficult for him? Why couldn't he say that it was he who was making things difficult for her? “Maison, all you have to do is tell him what I just said!” She then told Maison.Maison obviously knew that she could pass her message on to Jackson, but how could Jackson accept a message from a middle person?What he wanted was for
Jackson's lips seemed incredibly soft, as the mild taste of tobacco still lingered, and what's more, it seemed that he was surprisingly gentle with her this time and was in fact ten times gentler with her compared to the previous time.Victoria's mind went blank until he tried to stick his tongue in her mouth. She was able to feel that the tip of the man's tongue was a little moist, and Victoria came out of her trance in shock as she reached out to push Jackson away immediately. “Jackson, I've already told you and asked you to respect me!” Her face was incredibly confused as she stared wide-eyed while rubbing her lips together.“What exactly is considered respect for you?” Jackson asked. He wasn't irritated by her pushing him away, but instead he was very happy to keep her company and talk to her.It was a rare occasion when he could take a break, as he had recently been busy with the building work on one of the areas Lazaro was interested in, and if the woman didn't go off with ano
The instant he released her, Victoria immediately pulled away from Jackson as if she were avoiding him like the plague.Her reaction really made Jackson want to impulsively embrace her in his arms again and make sure she was obedient to him. However, he knew there were some things he shouldn't rush into. “What do you think about us scheduling Enzo and Lara's paternity test for next week?” Suddenly, he said.The paternity test again. Victoria already knew that he wouldn't be dissuaded so easily, and as she would be moving and quitting her job next week, she wouldn't do the paternity test anyway. “Fine, whatever you want!” She shrugged. “So it's a deal?” Jackson asked calmly.Victoria nodded. However, her phone suddenly rang and it was Jayric, and she believed he had been looking for her when she disappeared.Victoria didn't mind that Jackson was present with her when she answered the call, since he couldn't stop her anyway. “Hi, Jayric!” She answered. “Where are you, Victoria? I'
“You must have made a mistake. Look, think about it, is that possible? Look how good a man Mr. Carson is, and the women he dates are always models or famous celebrities. How could it be an insignificant little designer?” Lisa said. She's only capable of flirting with people like Jayric or ugly men like Mr. Lazaro.” Lisa sneered as she insulted her.Thamires wasn't sure. However, after listening to her, it seemed that Lisa had made a fair point, and there was no way the president would have feelings for someone like Victoria. “I guess I was wrong then!” Thamires replied as she withdrew her gaze before continuing to drink her alcohol. “Come on, let's let loose and have some fun?” She then suggested to Lisa. “No. Look, someone's drinking alone, shouldn't I keep him company then?” Lisa replied that it seemed she still had some feelings for him since he was a man she'd had a secret crush on before. Giving up on him completely wasn't so simple.“Okay, I understand.” Thamires replied. Sh
From the moment she got into the car until she reached the restaurant, it was only at this moment that she was able to breathe a sigh of relief. And, noticing Victoria's nervousness, Jackson smiled, and when they were seated in the restaurant, he let her sit next to him.Victoria ate her meals normally this time because she was nervous all the time now and forgot to pretend to behave rudely, and Jackson couldn't help smiling when he saw this.“Don't you have to act like you haven't eaten for a few days today?” he said jokingly, and Victoria, who was drinking lemon juice through a straw, hearing Jackson's words, immediately choked on the juice and coughed a few times.“I... I'm not very hungry today!” At this, his face was slightly red.Victoria thought: “Why did I forget that?”So she took out the straw, picked up the glass and prepared to swallow thejuice. However, just as her lips were about to touc
Victoria was very happy because it was the first time she had faced Ciara with force, and both she and her mother used to be bullied by the Lazer and were never treated well. However, they were too weak to fight back then, and had to put up with it, but now, she no longer had to be bullied like before, and, of course, it was all thanks to Jackson.Victoria looked at Jackson, who was sitting elegantly behind the desk, leafing through the documents and had an idea.She wanted Jackson to help her avenge her mother by bankrupting the Leisure Group, and she couldn't help having sex with him anyway.Victoria stood in the office doorway for a while before Jackson noticed her, and he smiled slightly as soon as he saw her, holding out his hand to her.“Come here!” He said in a soft, deep voice.Victoria approached obediently, and just as she was about to sit down in the office chair opposite Jackson, he patted her leg.&ld
So, the two were in a bad relationship, but without proof, no one could be sure that Lisa did it, and Carla trusted Lisa a lot, and agreed without hesitation: “I know what to do, Lisa!” After that, she left to give the project to Victoria, and when Lisa called Gisele to tell her about the change of designer, Lisa told her that her designer would be made by a new and talented designer from the company.Gisele was in her twenties, quite young, so she didn't find anything wrong with this, and hearing that the designer was the one who had designed Samanta's wedding dress, she agreed.Carla gave the design request files to Victoria and made no mention of Lisa.Victoria read the information on the application, and it was another actress called Gisele Boyer, whom she had never heard of before. Perhaps she was an up-and-coming actress?Victoria didn't doubt it and began to study the actress's interests.Gisele Boyer: a little-known actress in her 20sFavorite: All pink clothes embellished w
At this thought, Jayric snorted and wanted to hint at his feelings for her, but before he could say anything, Victoria spoke first.“By the way, Mr. Rey, are we the only ones organizing the event?”She thought Jayric was too good for her, as he always gave herthe best orders. It was also the reason her colleagues envied her. What if that was the case too?Now her colleagues were better with her. If he still showed her so much favor, they must have some opinions with her again.“No, there are a few other designers who will be taking part, so let's form a team.” Jayric was thinking of confessing to her, but was stopped, so he had to answer her question first.“Okay, that's good. I've never tried teamwork. It's a good chance that I can work in a team with fellow senior designers! “Victoria was relieved and smiled intelligently.She had just come to the company after a few days away, and it wasn't
Jackson thought she was cute as she sat there saying nothing, and her hair was messy and she wore no make-up or fancy clothes, so he had a bit of fun.Did she think he'd get tired of her?“Your messy hair makes me feel like you're doing it on purpose!” He said affectionately and Victoria could feel the air he exhaled making her a little nervous.“That's how I stay at home. I can't do anything if you don't like me like this.”“Do you want me to kiss you?” He smiled, touched her lips softly and whispered, making Victoria blush.She thought: “It's going to happen anyway. I know it can't be good when he asks to meet me at night.”“Jackson, our relationship has just begun. Can we wait... and do it... later?” She bit her lips, trembling.“Do what?” Jackson looked at her, and probably knew what she was thinking.she was thinking.In truth, he wasn't tha
Looking at him walk away, Victoria thought that their relationship wasn't exactly normal, and she didn't mind.She wasn't planning on staying with him forever anyway, and when he got tired of it, she'd be able to get rid of him and wouldn't have to worry about him taking her babies away.She then turned towards the house and went in to see the babies, and it was about half past seven and already dark.Noemia was at a business dinner with her parents, and wouldn'tbe home before 10.Noemia sent a message to Victoria telling her not to wait up and that she had found someone to help with the paternity test, and Victoria was relieved.Lara was in her arms and they were watching TV together. After a while, her phone started buzzing, and Victoria didn't notice it at first.“Mom... cell phone...” Enzo heard the buzzing and went to pick up the phone, pointing at the screen.Victoria understood him, a
“Come on. I'll take you for a meal!” Jackson said. However, just as he was about to walk her to her car, Victoria pulled her hand away.“Let me change first, if it's not going to be inappropriate for me to eat out like this.”It seemed that Victoria had been dressing like this for the last few days, and it would certainly be inappropriate for her to eat in a restaurant while she was dressed like this.“All right, I'll wait for you!” Jackson replied, and Victoria nodded and went back to her mansion.It didn't take long for Victoria to put on her best outfit, however, she was hesitating over whether or not she wanted to put make-up on, and in the end, decided against it.She wasn't really dating him anyway, so why should she put so much effort into dressing up for him? What if he really got tired of her one day when he had to look at how dull she looked every day?Victoria decided never to put make-up on for him again, and that way, he would get bored with her very quickly and she would
His voice seemingly melted Jackson's frozen heart as he reached out to gently pat the children's heads before carrying them to the carpet and starting to play with them.As Enzo was a boy, it wasn't long before he was Jackson's best friend while playing with them. What's more, he was quite aggressive while playing with Jackson.He actually climbed on his back and started pulling his short hair, and Victoria was shocked when she realized how aggressive he was while Enzo was playing with Jackson.That's because she knew what kind of person Jackson was.Who would dare pull his hair like that?“Don't pull his hair or he'll get mad!” Victoria was worried that Jackson might be angry, so she immediately ran to hug Enzo while nervously teaching him.After being lectured by his mother, Enzo put his head down and didn't dare make a sound, and Jackson noticed this and thought that Victoria shouldn't have acted like that,because it
“Noemia, can you do me a favor?” Victoria turned to Noemia, who was still leaning against the door.“What do you need?” Noemia asked.“Jackson wants to do another DNA authentication test. Can youhelp me find two people to act as my cousin and her husband? They have to be someone trustworthy, as they need to be able to withstand Jackson's questioning.”“I can help you look for people, but how do you intend to do that?” Noemia frowned.“They just have to refuse his request, and make him believe that they are the children's biological parents.” Victoria reasoned.“Are you sure that would work? After all, Jackson isn't naïve and will fall for it easily.” Noemia said after considering it for a while.“I'm not sure either, but I don't have any better ideas!” Victoria sighed. Previously, she had used fake hair to manipulate the test results, but this time, they wouldn't use that trick again, and Jackson wouldn't fall for it.Noemia looked at Victoria's troubled expression, and reached out
