The police arrived in less than five minutes after Noemia contacted them, and when she explained everything, Cassia immediately exploded in a fit of rage and allowed the officers to search her room.However, as the officers were not familiar with the layout of the mansion, they had no idea where the basement was after searching the area. As they had no idea where the basement was, they couldn't search it. The policemen soon left after they failed to find Victória with their rough sweep of the area.Noemia was forced to leave and couldn't do anything with these people, all she could do was get back into the car in a panicked and frustrated rage. She then decided to calm down and think as she got into her car, and decided to call her cousin, because as he knew a lot of people, he would know what to do.Noemia frantically called Harvey after that, and he asked her to go home for now and leave the situation to him when the call was over.However, Noemia didn't want to leave. She had th
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.
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 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
“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
In an expensive suite of one of São Paulo's most luxurious hotels, a slender figure was sprawled on the lavish bed. The man standing beside the bed brushed aside the young woman’s soft, blonde hair, revealing a face with unique features. Her rosy lips appeared dry. “It’s so dry here!” she exclaimed. “I need water!” The man beside the bed scoffed disdainfully, picked up his phone, and walked out to make a call. “Are you coming soon? She’s in room 268, and the effects of the drug are starting to show. But remember, take some spicy photos for me when you're done.” “Don’t worry, I’m almost there!” The suite door closed, and the person on the phone hadn’t noticed that the girl on the bed was watching him. Victoria propped up her weakened body as she got out of bed. A surge of unfamiliar heat burned through her body, and with the little strength she had left, she staggered out into the hotel corridor, trembling. She knew her half-sister, Ciara, was behind this, and she could
At dawn, the woman woke up with a splitting headache and aches all over her body. Glancing around, she realized she was in an expensive suite, clearly in a five-star hotel in the capital—a luxurious room. Victoria forced her eyes open and, mustering all the strength left in her body, pushed herself to sit up. The scene before her began to piece together the events of the previous night.Her red dress from the evening was torn, exposing soft, delicate skin as white as snow. Her long blonde hair fell lightly over her shoulders, further highlighting her pale, flawless complexion. The massive bed had its sheets in disarray, and scattered across it and the floor were not only her clothes but also men’s clothing. Victoria trembled in shock and turned to look at the other side of the bed. There lay Jackson Carson—the man she had always been infatuated with. He was the most sought-after bachelor in the capital, not only for his status as the heir to a $7 billion fortune but also for his
Victória painfully stepped out of the taxi and dragged her weak, exhausted legs toward the living room. She still wanted to speak with her father. She had barely reached the entrance when she heard cheerful laughter coming from inside. “Bruno, are you sure you can give me this red diamond ring? I’m not your fiancée. If Victória finds out, she’ll be furious!” Both Victória’s grandfather and Bruno’s grandfather had been friends since their youth. As a result, the two families had always been close, and a marriage between the two had been arranged since childhood. Over the years, as they grew up, Bruno adored the idea of having Victória as his fiancée. She was beautiful, and he had to woo her extensively until she finally gave in to the idea. However, at the moment she stepped through the front door, Victória saw Ciara clutching Bruno’s arm tightly, pouting. “Bruno, do you think I look pretty wearing this?” Victória walked straight into the living room without even taking o

Since the incident with Jackson that they had planned, she should never have expected anything from them, and it seemed that she would still have to rely on Harvey to gather evidence for her mother's case.Victoria realized that it would be useless for her to think about her own affairs at the moment, and as she was familiar with the layout of the mansion, she knew that there was a small door that could be opened in the basement, however, she would have to remove the door to get to itSo she calmed down and thought carefully about her situation for a moment before starting to look for the light switch. She moved around the walls until she found the light switch, and after the room was illuminated, using her memories, she found the small door that was sealed and was behind some sturdy bags.If she wanted to get out, she would have to open the wooden plank, and to do so, she started looking for some tools to open the plank.And, Noemia ran into the living room as soon as the burly men
How dare she throw a glass of cold water on her in front of so many people back then, she would force her to marry the Saints to feel what it was like to be tortured!Victoria immediately noticed her grandmother, her stepmother Suelen, and her ruthless father, Ricardo, when she entered the living room, and Victoria didn't feel the slightest trace of compassion when she returned home after being away for so long. At the moment, a glimmer of disgust and resentment could be seen in the depths of her eyes. If it hadn't been for arguing about her mother's inheritance, she would never have set foot in this house.They had conspired against her and cost her purity and almost crossed Jackson too, and not to mention that, in the end, they had exiled her from the family and also taken every last bit of her mother's inheritance, and her feelings for the family had died a long time ago.“I'm here now.” Victoria withdrew her cold gaze and spoke calmly to the trio on the sofa. “You wanted to talk
“President Carson intentionally told me to give this to you!” Maison politely handed her a branded handbag. “The president told me you must have it and if you don't, I won't be able to leave work today. Besides, this reflects his feelings, as he only wants the best for you, Ms. Lazer.”Victoria was completely speechless.She wondered why he was so desperate to give her presents?“Please stay with him, Ms. Lazer!” Maison added as she held up the Chanel bag she had just bought earlier, and Victoria didn't want to accept it, but nevertheless, there were many people looking at her in the lobby. She couldn't refuse. If she refused, Maison and she could be the talk of the office the next day.“I'll be on my way now, personal assistant Maison!” Victoria replied as she picked up her new bag, as she didn't want to waste any more time.“Goodbye, Ms. Lazer!” Maison nodded before giving her a polite smile as she said it, and Victoria gave her a simple reply before heading off to find Noemia.Ho
“No, I really want to keep working for you!” Sofia stammered, and it seemed that it was really difficult for her to tell Jhenifer the truth.Why couldn't Jhenifer see that Sofia was only doing this for her own good?“Why don't you try lying to me again? I know what you're thinking when you've been working for me for so long.” Jhenifer crossed her arms and continued in a stern tone. “Don't think for a second that you'd be able to lie to me. As long as I want to, I'd have over a hundred ways of finding out what happened last night. Are you expecting me to investigate this myself? Do you want me to fire you or do you want to come clean?”Sofia gave in after receiving such a threat from Jhenifer. She didn't want to lose her job, so she bit her lip, hesitated for a moment before confessing: “.“You went to Jackson Carson's apartment yesterday when you were terribly drunk.”“What happened there?” Jhenifer began to probe, and it seemed that, as she expected, something must have happened la
