Victoria was in the middle of making preparations for next week's showcase with multiple high schools. She had finally confirmed the rules for Fortuna's exchange program between the schools.If the showcase was successful, she could return to Youngville with Benjamin in a few days.Albeit Benjamin was in no hurry to Youngville.Victoria was anxious. She knew it wasn't good for Benjamin to stay in Danube City for too long.She hesitated for a few seconds and declined, "I don't have time."Elizabeth looked at the pair of empty eyes on the hospital bed.She lost her friendly tone and sounded somewhat angry. "What are you busy doing? Vicky, no matter what, Susan is still your teacher."She had taught you for many years. Such a big thing has happened to her, shouldn't you visit her?"She continued, "I'm only asking that you visit her, not take care of her. It won't take too much of your time. We also haven't met in a long time. Don't you want to see me?""Ms. Susan will only be agi
Victoria was shocked. She weighed the gun in her hands and looked at Benjamin excitedly. "It's real!"Benjamin looked serious as he said with a hint of arrogance, "Of course. Everything I give you is real, none of it is fake!"Victoria smiled and looked at the gun in her hands. She loved it."Benjamin, I love it. No wonder so many women want you. You're amazing!"Victoria gave Benjamin a thumbs up.Benjamin couldn't help but smile. He asked, "Do you feel better now?"Victoria nodded intensely. She leaned on Benjamin. "I must have saved a country in my past life."She continued to say, "Benjamin, did you install a mood tracker on me? Every time I'm in a bad mood, you would appear. Once I see you, all my bad moods will disappear."My heart is now setting off firecrackers. If I didn't do so much good, why would I be rewarded with so much good? I must have used up all my luck to meet you!"Although Elizabeth was biased toward Ginny, she still treated Victoria well enough. She coul
Colette hung up the phone. At the thought of Victoria's child inheriting the Harper family's fortune, her throat tightened. She stomped her feet and threw her phone in anger.Someone knocked on her door.Colette was shocked. She quickly picked up the phone from the ground and hid it under her pillow.She had gotten the phone and its number at a high price from a stranger.Yvette had asked her to invite Victoria out. It was obvious she intended Colette to be the scapegoat.Benjamin was now infatuated with Victoria. If something happened to Victoria now, Benjamin would do everything he could to investigate the situation.Using her own number to call Victoria would be no different than a death sentence. Victoria was about to die. How could she give birth to the future heir of the Harper family? How could Victoria continue to act high and mighty?Was there a need to fight with a dead person?Colette's anger subsided at that thought.Ginny opened the door to see Colette lying on
The arena was big. It was newly built and most of the equipment hadn't arrived yet.The arena was empty as her footsteps echoed throughout.Victoria did not see Colette. Instead, she saw Luna sitting by the arena steps.She connected the dots.Colette had tried so hard to invite her out, not because she wanted to see her. But to lure her into Yvette and Luna's trap.The smile on Luna's face was proud and malicious. She didn't seem normal."Victoria, did you think avoiding my calls could stop me? Now, you've fallen into my hands. Don't think of leaving this place alive!"As Luna spoke, a group of men began to enter through the different entrances of the arena. They each held a long bat as they began to surround Victoria.Luna stood up. She looked proud as she said, "If you crawl toward me and beg, I might allow you to leave this place alive!"Victoria touched her gun and sneered. There wasn't an ounce of fear on her face."You're the best at creating trouble. Luna, you're stil
Three shots were fired at the same time.The bullets shot through the air with an incredible force.Victoria immediately realized something was wrong when she fired her shot. She turned around and realized a bullet was aimed at her head from the third floor.She could even see a pair of cold eyes from where she stood.Victoria narrowed her eyes as a sinister smile appeared on her face. She lunged to the side quicker than when she dodged Luna's bullets."Victoria, look out!"Before Victoria landed on the ground, she heard someone shout out. Then, someone pushed her to the side.The moment they fell, Victoria turned around. She looked at Wendy's pained expression and widened eyes."Wendy!"Victoria shouted as she hugged Wendy. Her hands were covered in blood.Wendy tugged Victoria. "Victoria, avenge … avenge me.""Alright."Victoria laid Wendy down. The moment she stood up, her demeanor changed completely.She looked in the direction of the third floor. She raised her hand a
Victoria pointed at Wendy and tried to give her a warning through her gaze.Wendy begged for help. "Benjamin, seeing how I took a bullet for Victoria, please have mercy on me!"Victoria wanted nothing more but to shut Wendy up.She had been hinting at Wendy to not mention that matter. She never thought Wendy would expose her so soon.Victoria didn't dare to look at Benjamin. However, she could feel his gaze on her. It made her shudder.Yves added salt to her wounds. "Mrs. B, you were nearly shot?"Victoria glared at Yves, hinting at him to shut up. She made an excuse to run away. "I'll go take a look at Jayce."Benjamin gave Yves a look. Yves understood and followed Victoria with Wendy.As for Benjamin, he turned and headed to the third floor.Victoria walked up to Jayce.Luna had wanted to kill Jayce, but Victoria's bullet had hit her first. So when Luna fired the gun, her aim was slightly off. She didn't hit any vital points.Victoria tore off a piece of his shirt and band
Wendy sulked at Victoria. "What about me?"Victoria pointed at Yves. "He'll make arrangements for you."Wendy pouted, looking like an abandoned puppy. She looked pitiable."I came all this way for you. I even took a bullet for you. You didn't bring me home, treat me to a meal, or give me some money. Now you're even choosing to abandon me."Our mentor was right. You value love more than friendship. Once you have a partner, you'll abandon your humanity. You are blinded by love."You were like that the last time, and you're still acting like that now. Why do you have so many enemies? If you aren't being targeted, then you are being held at gunpoint. You—"Victoria glanced at Benjamin. She clasped a hand over Wendy's mouth. She whispered a warning, "Do you want me to sew your mouth shut? If you don't know what to say, just shut up!"Wendy struggled to break free. She shook her head but quickly changed to nodding instead.Benjamin raised his eyebrow. His smile was meaningful and dan
She would often play dead to avoid being shot at. Yves suddenly felt that he and Wendy lived in different worlds."Do you have to play dead often?"Wendy blinked. "Yes. There were a few times. Why else would Victoria catch me in the act so easily?"During normal circumstances, playing dead is not needed. However, during special circumstances, protecting your own life is more important."Yves looked at the group of men on the ground. There were more than a hundred of them. "Did Mrs. B finish them off alone?"Wendy was slightly annoyed by the parade of questions coming from Yves. However, her anger dissipated whenever she thought about the card with no credit limit.Her voice was soft as she explained patiently, "No. Me and Victoria finished them off together. They're a bunch of weaklings."Normally, Victoria would be able to handle it alone. But it has been a while since she fought, so she's a bit out of practice."I wanted to see her eyes being filled with bloodlust. Too bad th
