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
Victoria dragged Benjamin out of the arena.Benjamin's car was parked at the entrance. Benjamin got in the driver's seat first and patted the passenger's seat.Victoria laughed dryly. She had actually wanted to sit in the back. She obediently got in the passenger seat. She heard the doors being locked the second she closed the car door.Victoria turned to look at Benjamin.There was a silver mini-gun in Benjamin's hand.After Victoria had knocked the guy out, Benjamin arrived. Thus, she had completely forgotten about the gun.She reached out to take it. "Benjamin, that's my gun. I … I used it to knock someone out. I wanted to pick it up. But when I saw you, I had forgotten everything."Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would still have to go back to look for it. I'm exhausted."Benjamin's hand moved away, not letting Victoria take it.He looked at Victoria's bright eyes and said, "You're exhausted?"Victoria smiled, "A little bit."The truth was, she wasn't the slightest
Benjamin's expression was terrifying.Victoria blinked. "Benjamin, there seems to be something wrong with you."Benjamin was stunned. He frowned as his irritation increased.Victoria looked at Benjamin. He was an extremely difficult man to comfort. Why did such a difficult man exist?However, she still had to comfort him, no matter how hard it was.Victoria's brain began to wrack for ideas. She quickly thought of 108 ways to comfort him.Benjamin turned his back to Victoria as he looked out the window.He finally turned around after a while.The second he turned, Victoria hugged him.His body tensed as he looked at Victoria. Victoria was smiling brightly at him."Benjamin, what were you thinking? Are you jealous? Are you worried I'll run off with someone else, making you the laughingstock of Youngville?"Benjamin's gaze sharpened. "Do I look like I care about what other people think of me?"Of course, he did. If he didn't, why would he spend so much effort to marry her? To
Colette, Ginny, and Elizabeth had returned to their home in Youngville in their private jet.Although Ginny and Elizabeth had a strained relationship, Ginny would still bring Colette back to Youngville to stay for a few days at the beginning of every month.They had their own rooms in the Warde manor.At around 6 pm, they were having dinner downstairs after putting away their luggage.Just a few bites in, Colette's phone vibrated.She thought it was a message from Yvette. She didn't care that it was slightly inappropriate as she picked up her phone to look at the message.It was an anonymous email. Colette was sure it was from Yvette, so she didn't think before opening it.There was a big document and the photos were loading.Were they photos of Victoria's death? Colette's hand trembled at that thought.Victoria should have died a long time ago. She should not have returned to the Warde family.Elizabeth looked at the malicious and excited expression on Colette's face. She fr
