Benjamin thought about it and retyped his message. Benjamin: "Thank you for your care, Ms. Frost. With Vicky here, I'm much better now. I'll add someone in. He'll be sending the Venmo."The Beauty: "Why can't you do it? Why do you need someone to do such a thing for you? Why don't you let someone else care for Victoria if that's the case? You're not sincere. I don't agree to this!"Benjamin: "I need to make money to Venmo you all. Vicky will also be suspicious if I'm always on my phone. I'll also take note of what goes on. If all of you need anything, my friend can help."Wendy: "Benjamin is right. If he doesn't make money, how will we receive any money? Victoria will also have to live a poor life with him. Benjamin was thinking of the bigger picture! Amazing!"A few courageous souls also followed Wendy and tried to persuade Lena.Benjamin called Yves. "I'll add you to a group."Before he could finish, Yves said in shock, "Ben, you created a group? What group? I thought you did
Benjamin held Victoria's hand and headed toward Eleanor.Eleanor was quick on her feet. She quickly arrived in front of them.She pulled down her shawl and took off her sunglasses. She looked at Benjamin in annoyance."What did I tell you on the phone? I told you multiple times to inform me when you're returning to Youngville, and what did you do?"If I didn't ask someone to pay attention to it, I would have missed your arrival. You never take my words to heart. Am I even your grand—"Benjamin looked at Victoria. He smiled as he interrupted Eleanor. "Greet Grandma."Eleanor's gaze fell on Victoria.She was surprised and quickly forgot about her anger directed at Benjamin. "Where did this pretty lady come from? Did I scare you? I normally don't talk like that."I was ecstatic to know that he found a girlfriend. But he didn't even tell me when he was returning."Eleanor smiled and handed Victoria the bouquet. "Welcome. On behalf of the Summers family, I welcome your arrival."
Quinton drove Victoria and Benjamin to where they would be staying.Benjamin set aside the luggage. "I don't like outsiders staying in my home. So, I spent most of my time here. If you think it's too small, we can move to a villa."Victoria changed into the shoes Benjamin had prepared for her. She looked at the spacious living room."Didn't you say you wanted our alone time? This place is enough for the two of us. Why should we move to a villa? Benjamin, can I look around?"Benjamin nodded. "Of course. It's my place. You can go anywhere you want."Victoria looked around and smiled as she looked at Benjamin. She said surely, "Benjamin, the size of this house is just nice. The place is surrounded by mountains and lakes. I can even see a river."The scenic view at night must be magnificent. There's also an empty room that I can use to do whatever I like."Benjamin, you've got taste. I love it here. Let's just stay here. I'll go and take a bath now."Victoria took her clothes and e
Seduced, Benjamin's eyes turned red.His hand slipped under Victoria's clothing and moved downward.The temperature in the room rose along with the intensity of their passionate embrace.Just as they were passionately immersed in their intimate moment, Victoria suddenly widened her eyes.She pushed Benjamin away and wore a concerned expression on her face.Benjamin felt an unbearable tension throughout his body after being interrupted in the midst of his passion.He gazed into Victoria's eyes, which radiated an intense heat that could incinerate anyone."Do you dare tease me like this again?"His voice was low and husky. His top buttons were undone. It revealed his toned chest, which was heaving with excitement.He realized that his actions might make Victoria suspicious, and he added, "I feel entirely comfortable with myself in front of you. But if there's a next time ..."Victoria stared at Benjamin, who was filled with intense desire. She felt extremely frustrated. "It see
Ginny couldn't believe what she was seeing. She gripped Colette's arm so tightly that she couldn't speak. "Is that ... is that ..."Colette was thoroughly annoyed and agitated. She glanced at Yvette only to see her face darkening. At that, she felt a slight sense of satisfaction.After Yvette had killed Yvonne, Colette was intimidated. However, as she gathered information on this matter around Youngville, she realized that Yvette was less formidable than she had thought.Plus, some time had passed, and her fear of Yvette had diminished.Yvette's high status in Youngville was solely due to Benjamin.People believed she would marry Benjamin. Taking his status into account, they were willing to give her and the White family some respect.Now that Benjamin had Victoria by his side, both Colette and the White family were not willing to simply step aside.Colette was ready to see them fight and profit from the situation.Colette's thoughts kept her jealousy in check. She replied to G
The once quiet living room suddenly became lively after Benjamin's announcement.People who were usually suppressed by the White family or had a bad relationship with Yvette came forward to congratulate Benjamin."Congratulations, Mr. Harper.""Mrs. Benjamin Harper is so beautiful. She looks like a doll. Mr. Harper, you two are a perfect match.""Mr. Harper, when can we attend your wedding?"Yvette and Logan had grim expressions.Meanwhile, Colette was consumed by jealousy.The Harper family and Benjamin Harper? Wasn't that what she had always desired?What did Victoria do to deserve all these? Why should Victoria step on her?Amidst these thoughts, someone chuckled."Zachary, isn't this your arranged fiancée by Grandpa? Ben, are there no other women in the world that you had to choose your niece-in-law?"She's pretty, but what use is beauty? Plus, you can't perform in bed. Are you seeking to suffer?" The man laughed audaciously.Zachary wore a tense and unpleasant expressi
Victoria's gaze was ice-cold and determined. She exuded the same imposing presence as Benjamin.Colette couldn't help but sneer silently.Why would Mr. Harper need someone to shield him in Youngville? It was quite the opposite. He was the one who usually protected others.Victoria was nothing but a flatterer. She always had a way with words, making sure she stole the limelight.Why was she so unsatisfied?Colette, who had been trying to restrain herself, finally couldn't hold back any longer.She took on the role of a dutiful daughter and pleaded with Victoria, saying, "Victoria, mom didn't mean to be offensive earlier. She spoke impulsively and didn't harbor any ill intentions."She has been regretful about her words. Remember, she's your biological mother, and she has realized her mistake."Could you please have someone release her? She hasn't been in the best of health lately, and she ..."Isaac highly valued family harmony. He definitely wouldn't like Victoria's behavior.
Just as they were halfway through dinner, Jamie returned.He headed straight for the dining table and quickly noticed Victoria."So, this is the woman Benjamin found? He's got good taste, just like me!"Victoria looked up at the man speaking. His face bore a striking resemblance to Benjamin's.He was undeniably handsome and had an unchanged physique, yet his eyes seemed sunken. He bore obvious signs of excess indulgence and appeared somewhat dispirited.Victoria cast a glance at Benjamin, who remained silent and didn't give Jamie a single glance.Not all fathers deserved to be dads, after all.Darryl knew Jamie well. He was afraid that he might create trouble, just like Diesel did.Thus, he signalled a few people to come and escort Jamie away. He then informed Jamie about the earlier incident where Victoria had reprimanded Diesel.The news took Jamie aback, but soon he burst into laughter. "What a woman Ben picked. She's way more interesting than that daughter of the White fam
