Since the bodyguards had let them through, Victoria and Valentina wasted no time, and Victoria didn't dare knock on Noemia's door, even though she lived across the hall. Instead, she quickly left with her children, and after checking that no one was following them, Victoria and Valentina breathed a sigh of relief.They put Enzo and Lara on the floor, and Enzo was already pulling at his wig. It was itchy and suffocating to wear the wig and simply unbearable.“Don't pull it, son, otherwise you'll end up pulling your hair out. Let me help you.” Victoria quickly stopped him, and after Victoria offered to help Enzo with the wig, he stopped moving.Victoria crouched down to take the wig off for him while Valentina helped Lara with her fake braids, and they quickly removed the wigs and packed them away before throwing them in the nearest garbage can.From the looks of it, everything seemed to have gone according to plan, and Valentina couldn't help feeling worried. “Do you think Jackson wi
There were no other words she could say, so she could only hug her older brother tightly as she cried, and Victoria was startled to see Lara suddenly crying. At first, she thought Lara had been frightened, so she crouched down and comforted her.“What's wrong, dear? Why did you suddenly cry?”Lara shook her head and kept tugging on Enzo's arms as she made unintelligible baby talk. Fortunately, Enzo was smart enough to figure out what his little sister was saying, even if it was baby talk that came naturally to him.He reached out to hug his little sister. Despite his young age, he acted like an adult in comforting her. The moment Lara felt this, she immediately stopped crying and smiled as she hugged her older brother and kept calling his name sweetly. Victoria didn't know whether to laugh or cry, after all, Enzo was such a sweet boy, he was going to grow up to be a great guy.“Okay. Stop crying. Shall we go for a carousel ride?” Victoria touched Enzo and Lara's heads gently as she
“Ms. Lazer, there's no hurry. We can talk about it when everyone gets here.”Why did he have to be part of the conversation?Was he a designer?Victoria didn't understand what Mattew was thinking, and just as Mattew finished his sentence, Jackson appeared. He was as cool and dignified as ever, and was dressed in a white shirt and black pants. He attracted a lot of attention from the female customers nearby due to his handsome appearance and long legs when he entered the restaurant.Naturally, the man promptly noticed Victoria's presence when he appeared, and Jackson narrowed his dark eyes before walking slowly over.He sat down next to Mattew, and the waiter at the side of the table quickly poured him a glass of water and served his meal ingratiatingly.“Why are you so late today? Mattew asked interrogatively.“I was busy. “Jackson replied softly, and he glanced at Victoria as he finished his sentence. She promptly looked away and refused to make eye contact, Jackson and Mattew talk
Mattew noticed Jayric's enthusiasm and realized that he was interested in Victoria. His thin lips moved slightly as he smiled without saying a word.“Miss Lazer, I'm counting on you to help my cousin with her wedding dress. I hope she won't be disappointed.” He simply said.“I won't let you down. Don't worry, Mr. Figueiredo. “Jayric said as he nodded.“I've almost finished eating. If you want to eat, feel free to order anything and put it on my bill later. “Mattew put down his cutlery before picking up his napkin from the table and wiping his hands elegantly. “I'm leaving!” The moment he finished his sentence, he stood up and left the restaurant.Jayric and Victoria promptly got up and watched him go. Shortly after Mattew had gone, Victoria and Jayric left the restaurant as well and prepared to drive to Mattew's cousin's house.The morning light spread out and left a golden hue over the city as Victoria and Jayric left the restaurant.Jayric took Victoria to the parking lot, and on t
Even though Victoria didn't understand much about the property, she pretended to agree with what Jayric said.She had lived in such a condominium before when she lived with the Lazer's, until things happened.Victoria didn't want to keep thinking about it, as it upset her.She felt bad for not protecting her mother, so she didn't like to think about the Lazer family. Apart from coming up with some plan to recover her mother's rightful property, she would rather spend time thinking about the children and Valentina, as that was the only way she could be motivated to work hard and earn a living for her family.“Oh. We're here. “ Jayric turned a corner before parking the car in front of an estate. “Shall we get out of the car?”Victoria nodded. She brought Thamires' cake with her before going to the door with Jayric and ringing the bellThey pressed the doorbell three times, and the maid opened the door and realized it was the designers Samanta was meeting.She smiled as she invited them
Victoria anxiously helped Samanta to her feet, but Samanta pushed her aside.“Was there mango in the cake?”She had been allergic to mango since she was a child, and if things got worse, she might even faint. so there was never any mango in her house. What's more, she only ate the cake when she checked that there was no mango. Apparently, there was mango in the cake. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had a sudden anaphylactic shock. “Miss Barros, I'll ask Mr. Angelo to prepare the car. “The maid had served Samanta for years and knew of her condition and sensed that she might be having an allergy attack, so she called the driver.After Victoria was pushed sideways, she bumped into the coffee table, and was in so much pain that tears almost flowed from her eyes. However, she suppressed her pain and checked on Samanta first. “Miss Barros, I didn't know there was mango in the cake.”The moment Victória finished her sentence, she remembered Thamires giving her the cake this morning.She was
“I have to go.” Jayric hung up the phone now that he had sorted things out, and Victória overheard some of his conversation with Thamires.From the looks of things, Thamires deliberately got her into trouble so that they would lose Samanta's project.Thamires was pure evil!Victória immediately pursed her lips. She couldn't understand how she could offend her fellow designers, because from the day she joined the company, she had worked hard on every little task she had been given.Even though Lisa purposely sent her to the factory to make her life a living hell, she did so without complaint, and Victoria simply wanted to be a good designer and have a decent life for her family.However, it turned out to be a simple task“Victoria, why don't you go back first?"Jayric didn't plan to hold her responsible, after all, Thamires was partly responsible for the incident and nobody knew about Samanta's mango allergy to begin with.Both parties simply had good intentions when they brought the ma
Victoria gathered her thoughts and looked up the moment she heard Jackson's voice.“President Carson, it was an accident, and I will definitely deal with it. I won't put JB or the Carson group in any trouble.” “How do you plan to fix it? “ Jackson askedIt was as good as implying that she would beg for help on the condition that she reconsidered her contract. Since he insisted that he didn't need a woman, he didn't have the heart to say so.“I'll explain things to Ms. Barros as soon as she's willing to see me. “ said Victória calmly. “But she just doesn't want to see me right now.”The moment she finished her sentence, Jackson gazed deeply before saying. “Come with me.” He wanted to see first-hand how she planned to handle this, and Victoria was stunned. Was he really helping her?Since he was willing to bring her inside the hospital ward, she thanked him.“Thank you, President Carson!” Jackson entered the hospital ward as she finished speaking, and Victoria hurried after him. N
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
After Ciara left, Victoria looked solemnly at the entrance to the mansion. So this party was prepared for Jackson. Victoria hoped that the Carson's would find him a girlfriend soon, in the hope that she could be freed, and the feeling that went through Victoria's mind was just a sigh of relief, and there was no sign of jealousy or dismay.She continued to wait for the man under the shadow. After about five minutes, Jackson came out of the gate, looking relaxed, and Victoria gave him a quick glance and looked away soon after. “Shall we? I'm taking you home!” Jackson walked up to her and said.Victoria pursed her lips. She wanted to reject the offer, but she felt it would be redundant to say anything, so she obediently got into her car.In the car, Victoria could smell a faint odor of alcohol coming from the man. Perhaps he had been drinking with one of the select women the Carsons had arranged for him?Victoria leaned against the car door as her mind wondered, and she was so absorb
“All right, then I'll go out and talk to him!” Carla Alvinegro said. Although she was older than Jackson, she had to go out and see him considering the Carson's wealth and status in the city.As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Jackson standing there, not intending to move. “Jackson, why don't you come in and join my party?” Carla Alvenegro immediately approached and smiled as she said.“I appreciate the invitation, but I'll pass it on!” Jackson smiled politely. “Actually, the reason I'm calling you is because I want you to stop organizing these kinds of parties in the future. I have no interest!” “But, Jackson, it was your mother who asked me to organize this party!” Carla Alvenegro was taken aback and didn't know how to respond, and Jackson naturally knew that it was his mother's idea. “I'll tell her about it!” He paused before continuing. “I'm leaving, now! Good afternoon, Mrs. Alvinegro!” Carla Alvenegro realized that she really was leaving and immediately became anxious.
“I get that, Jackson!” Victoria replied deeply.Since he was able to find her no matter where she went, she decided to agree to his request. One day, when he got tired of her, he could finally leave her alone and stop asking about Enzo and Lara.Victoria suddenly felt that it wouldn't hurt to date him because of Enzo and Lara, as she wanted to avoid being harassed by Jackson and his family in the future.She felt that it would make things easier for her in the future if she dated him now.After making up her mind, Victoria felt that it was okay to be friends with Jackson. After all, they had slept together before and it wasn't as if she was a virgin.“Are you going to try something funny this time and hide from me?” Jackson looked at her deeply.“Considering how powerful you are, how can I hide?” Victoria shook her head as she said helplessly, because even if she tried, he hadn't found her address? “Good girl!” Jackson nodded, and raised his hand to check the time. “I've still got so
More than 50 young women came to the party with the hope of marrying him, and Ciara also wanted to marry Jackson, so she had to do her best to impress Mrs. Alvenegro.*Inside the bathroom, Victoria felt soft and was on the verge of tears after Jackson kissed her forcefully. He seemed angry about her dismissal and blacklisting him on the phone, so he continued kissing her hard.She was almost out of breath, but it didn't end there. Victoria was petrified when she heard footsteps outside the bathroom, and Jackson was completely calm and unconcerned about people coming in.After the person outside the door left, Jackson carried Victoria out of the bathroom.He carried her up to a bedroom on the second floor and locked the door behind them.As this property belonged to the Carson Group, it was as good as his house, and he wasn't afraid and could do anything he thought best, but Victoria was terrified. Jackson refused to let her leave the room and even pinned her down on the big soft be
