Wonder Wife Chapter 215 I Am Her Father
By the side entrance of the Warde manor, a black Volkswagen Passat far from matching the statuses of its guests was parked. Benjamin, Victoria, and Yves were sitting inside the car."It's just an event for Elizabeth to introduce Ginny and Colette to the public. With your status, you'd be showing too much respect to them if you appeared. I'll just head in for a while to talk to Elizabeth. I'll leave right after that. You can stay in the car and wait with Yves. I'll call you if anything happens."Victoria came to the Warde manor this time to return the engagement token for her engagement with Zachary.She also knew Elizabeth had a lot to say to her.If Victoria did not meet up with Elizabeth to let her speak her mind, Elizabeth would not give up.Victoria didn't like endless entanglement.All the guests had entered through the main entrance in front. The servants were all busy now. As such, there wasn't anyone at the side gate.Victoria was making her way over to the manor when sh

Upon hearing that, Paul struggled to get away, but he was no match for Yves.When Paul failed to get away, he glared at Victoria. "Even if you drag me in there, there's no use. I will never admit to anything nor say anything!"If Colette was driven out by that family because of him, how would he get his money in the future?Paul would never agree to this kind of one-shot deal.Besides, Colette had only given him 50 thousand. What could he even do with 50 thousand?"I know you can't see eye to eye with Lettie, Duckling, but don't even try to use me against my biological daughter. Even though I'm not your biological father, I raised you for seven years. Is it wrong for me to ask you for money now?"Victoria's gaze darkened as she frowned.She rushed forward and punched Paul in the stomach.Paul dropped to his knees in pain. He lay on the ground like a dead dog."You want money? I haven't got any! Even if I have money, I wouldn't give a single penny to a scum like you either. You

Victoria was held up by Zachery earlier. When she arrived at the cottage, Elizabeth was already there waiting for her. Behind Elizabeth was a smart-looking middle-aged man in a suit. He had a briefcase in his hand.Victoria frowned.It had been a while since she last saw Elizabeth. The latter looked like she had aged a lot. Signs of fatigue could be seen from her gaze. Even her hair which was in an updo was all white now.Victoria pursed her lips as she approached Elizabeth. "Hello, Mrs. Warde Senior."She took out the engagement token that was with her and placed it on the table. She pushed it toward Elizabeth. "This is the engagement token. I'm returning it to you now."Elizabeth eyed the token and looked up at Victoria. Hurt and sadness could be seen in her gaze. "Are you not going to call me Grandma anymore?"Victoria had an indifferent attitude. "You can't have your cake and eat it too, Mrs. Warde Senior. There must be a trade-off. Since you've made your choice, I will respe

Victoria stopped in her tracks. Her back was facing Elizabeth. Disappointment roiled within her.Elizabeth regretted her words.Victoria could only be reasoned with. She would not respond to threats. What Elizabeth had said would only exacerbate the conflict between them. But, Elizabeth could not take back her words.Elizabeth said gently, "Vicky, that's not what I meant. I'm just anxious. You and your mother are—"Victoria abruptly turned around. Her face was indifferent but her tone was ruthless. "Don't call her my mother! I've said it before. Don't lump us together! Give your things to whoever you like. That's your prerogative. But, kindly control the people around you! The next time they provoke me, scheme against me, and make me unhappy, it won't just be ten slaps!"Upon seeing how cold and heartless Victoria was, Elizabeth's heart started racing. "What do you plan on doing to Ginny? Isn't it enough that she's been driven to a nervous breakdown because of you? You are m

In the Warde manor's rear garden, all the guests had gathered at the reception venue.The men talked business while the women chatted together.When women get together on an occasion like this, they would naturally chat idly and gossip among themselves."Isn't Mrs. Warde Senior introducing her daughter and granddaughter, whom she brought back from Danube City, today? What time is it? Why haven't the main stars of the event shown up yet? Why are we foolishly waiting here?" one of the ladies complained."They come from a small city and don't know how to behave properly. I heard that a few days ago, they acted out of line at the Harper manor, so Mr. Harper had his men slap them ten times each.They were sent to the hospital straight from the Harper manor and only came back yesterday. Until it's absolutely necessary, how could they bear to come out and embarrass themselves?" one of them commented. "What's with Ginny anyway? Is she blind? When Mr. Warde Senior was still around, the f

Elizabeth's words fell like a boulder crashing into the surface of a still lake—or like a bomb exploding beneath the sea.The guests were in an uproar as they watched Elizabeth pass Ginny the document."The Warde family has shares from the Harper family's business? Five percent? Besides Mr. Harper, no one else in the Harper family has that much, right? Even the White family only has three percent. The Warde family has been hiding this so well!" someone exclaimed."Mrs. Warde Senior definitely knew that someone would mess with Ginny, so she's helping her daughter establish herself. Mr. Harper is aggressive in protecting his beloved while Mrs. Warde Senior is aggressive in protecting her daughter. We're in for a good show.""Ginny is the Warde family's only daughter. Isn't the Warde family hers in the future? I envy her. Why can't I have such a good life? Being born to the right family really is a skill.""An endless supply of money, a good daughter, no troublesome husband, and no

At the loft behind where the party was held, Yves swore. "Mrs. Warde Senior had that up her sleeve, huh? It's like rising from the ashes. It really does require skill to be reborn. Comment by soonyoung gu: not sure what the author is trying to mean. i backread a little and still dont get what skill was needed..."From now on, no one would dare to gossip about Ginny and the others in front of them. Look at their arrogant faces. They deserve a beating!"Yves looked disgruntled. He looked sideways at Victoria and Benjamin and saw that they were devoid of any unnecessary emotions. It was as if they were bystanders unrelated to the situation. Benjamin even looked like he was a little happy."Why aren't you both reacting? Especially you, Mrs. B. Aren't you angry? Mrs. Warde Senior keeps saying that she's sorry and she'll compensate you. "This is how she compensates you? Isn't that too disgusting?""Why the anger? This is all within our predictions."Victoria did not make much

Louis reached the manor's door. Upon seeing those who had followed him, he told Ginny, "Mrs. Jameson, go greet the guests. I'll handle the situation in the manor."His stern and commanding tone caused discomfort to those who heard it. Those who wanted to watch the scene and flatter Ginny retorted, "Ginny is Mrs. Warde Senior's daughter, who's the matriarch of the Warde family. Who do you think you are? "On what grounds do you order her around? Even if anything has happened, she should be the one who handles it, so on what grounds should she listen to you?"Ginny had become arrogant from the praise. The Warde manor was hers. Louis was a pet raised by the Wardes. He was ordering her in front of so many people. If she obeyed him, what would happen to her dignity?Louis was blocking the door. Ginny was haughty when she pushed him aside. "Step aside!"She rushed ahead of him and brought the group with her as she strode towards the fourth-floor guest room.Louis backed away. As

Victoria saw that Benjamin wasn't looking like he was kidding at all. She placed both of her hands on his chest and turned her head away when he leaned in to kiss her.She then pushed him away hard and changed the topic by saying, "I heard that Solomon was beaten up in his own house last night."Benjamin chuckled lowly and said, "There's no use changing the topic."As he was talking, he arched his neck and pressed his lips near Victoria's ear.Victoria's ears, especially her helix, were extremely sensitive. She subconsciously pulled her hands back and covered her ears with her palms.Benjamin took the chance to wrap his arms around Victoria's waist and pulled her close to him. His face was close to hers.Victoria could feel Benjamin's burning desire as she was pressed down onto his lap. She now knew better than to struggle.This was just shooting herself in the foot!It wasn't that she didn't know what he was like, but she just had to stir him up.Victoria felt uneasy when she

Victoria used her other hand to support her cheek as she blinked.She said, "How could someone who dislikes wasting words and unnecessary chatter nag endlessly over just a small wound?"Benjamin coldly asked, "Are you complaining that I'm long-winded and annoying now?"He looked aggrieved, as if he would be angry if Victoria were to answer "yes".Victoria laughed out loud again and replied, "I'm not!"She used her finger to poke at Benjamin's cheek.She was smiling when she asked, "Are you madly in love with me, Benjamin?"Benjamin looked at Victoria seriously as he crouched by her legs.If it was before this, he would've nodded and replied "of course" without hesitation. But now …Benjamin couldn't be as confident and sure when he recalled Wendy's previous words.Victoria didn't think much of it and took Benjamin's silence as affirmation.She continued, "I'm thinking that you're definitely madly in love with me. That is why you're so heartbroken and reacted abnormally even
Wonder Wife Chapter 602 Love Me Love My Dog
"Where are we heading to now, Ben and Mrs. B? Why are the people here so weird? Why are they dressed up as if they're in a period drama?"What is this place? Why are the both of you here?"Yves was back to his lively self as soon as he got into the carriage. He started asking endless questions."You regained your memories now, Ben? I knew you'd never forget about Mrs. B no matter what. Even if you did, you'd definitely remember everything as soon as you saw Mrs. B!"Yves gushed on. It took him a good while to realize that Benjamin's expression had changed. Even the atmosphere in the carriage became strange.He asked, "Did I say something wrong?"Wendy laughed dryly and replied, "He's not as deeply in love with Victoria as you think he is. He didn't remember anything."Yves laughed awkwardly before pursing his lips.He started to butter Victoria up."How did you know Ben is here, Mrs. B? How did you find—"Victoria pursed her lips and glanced at Gwen who was driving in the fro
Wonder Wife Chapter 601 You're Trying to Threaten Me
Yves stared at Anna. She started out mumbling, and her voice grew louder toward the end.He looked confused. "Ben, Mrs. B, what is she talking about?"He was sure she was speaking the same language but couldn't, for the life of him, understand what she meant.Upon listening to Anna, Wendy immediately felt she was too quick to agree to Yves' request because of the money. She wanted to push him aside.However, he was in a sorry state with his limp. His face was visibly thinner than before, and his eyes weren't as bright as they used to be. She found herself sympathizing with him.Victoria pressed her lips together, and her brows creased further.Benjamin turned to Silas. "Go and get Asher!"Anna didn't dial back on her arrogance. "Great idea. I'm looking for him, too."There was a horse race today, yet he locked me up in that cabin! I have a score to settle with him!"Victoria recalled Asher leaving the stables urgently during the day and had a hunch about what happened."If yo

Yves looked up with teary eyes and could vaguely make out Benjamin's sour face.He rubbed his eyes with all his might. Benjamin's face slowly became clear to him as his vision cleared."It's really you, Ben! Oh, Ben!"He was pleasantly surprised, as though he finally had someone to rely on. He teared up in excitement.The next moment, he became aggrieved again. He was just like a three-year-old who was bullied by a stray cat.He cried, "You're here, Ben. Why didn't you ask someone to look for me? You've no idea what I've experienced."I've been locked away in that shabby cabin and almost lost it. I miss you so freaking much!"Benjamin looked less sour now. He took out his handkerchief that he brought along wherever he went.He passed it to Yves, who had tears and snot all over his face. "Clean up. You're a grownup man, you know. Look at you."With one hand taking the handkerchief, Yves clung onto Victoria with the other.Benjamin stared at his hand that was holding onto her.
Wonder Wife Chapter 599 An Unexpected Encounter With Yves
Asher felt his heart shatter. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've already gifted it to someone else!"The person in charge felt his heart ache, too. "I wanted to inform you when you arrived, but you told me to talk to you after the race."You've always said that horse has a character and that you like it, no? I never expected you to give it away."Who did you give it to? Could you, perhaps, buy it back from him?"Asher was dispirited. "I can't."He waved it off and continued, "Forget about it. It belongs to someone else now."I'd been obliging to its every wish for all the time it had been here. Still, it never obeyed me."It's intelligent and chooses its own master. I can't tame it. It's no better than an average horse to me."Tell those who witnessed that incident that they shouldn't talk about it to anyone. You may leave."The person in charge glanced at him. Bowing, he acknowledged the instruction he received and left.Asher looked toward Sebastian and sighed dejectedly
Wonder Wife Chapter 598 The Chosen One
Silas and Wendy immediately hurried over in excitement when they heard they were going to split the winnings.Wendy, who wasn't the best in maths, counted gleefully, "We bet one thousand gold coins. As the odds are at one to 246, we'll get … ten thousand, 200 thousand … 244600 gold coins. Am I right?"She surprised herself when she said that out loud. She and Silas exchanged glances and started hopping about in delight.That was a lot of gold coins! They were rich!"Ten percent of 244600 gold coins would amount to roughly 24 thousand gold coins, so 20 percent would make it about 50 thousand. Victoria—"Silas and Wendy were already dizzy. Turning to them, Victoria instructed, "Give us a moment, and take Onyx with you.""You …" Silas looked at her suspiciously. Was she planning to keep all the money to herself?She gave him a warning glare, and he and Wendy obediently led Onyx away.They shouldn't offend their moneybag right now.Victoria looked at Asher. "That's over 240 thousa
Wonder Wife Chapter 597 Let's Split the Winnings
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. It was a teenager who was around 15 years old. Not bothering to keep up his image, he sat on the floor and clung to Sebastian's leg.Besides him, many others were standing around Sebastian. They all looked at Sebastian pitifully.Asher loudly asked the one kneeling, "Just look at you, Troy Lancaster! What happened to your enthusiasm?"It's only a meager sum. Do you really have to react this way?"Troy Lancaster? He was the Lancaster family's youngest son, Sebastian's younger maternal cousin.Victoria had a photographic memory. She saw his name when she skimmed through the log book earlier.He had bet 500 silver coins, which wasn't the least of all. It wasn't a hefty sum either, considering who he was.The Lancasters had very conflicting approaches in his upbringing. His mother pampered him, while his father was very strict toward him because he thought he was spoiled.Judging from his reaction, he must've been greedy and impulsivel
Wonder Wife Chapter 596 Make Me Fall For Him
Once Roxy left, several women with ill intentions who criticized Victoria earlier became uneasy. They came up with excuses and left one after another.As the drama ended, everyone calmed down. Some were listless, while some were feeling down.There were also a few who approached Victoria, among whom were mainly men. They earnestly introduced themselves.Benjamin scanned the men who surrounded Victoria and somehow felt betrayed. Glowering, he seemed about to fly off the handle.His glare was too harsh, and many retreated after a short exchange with Victoria. She studied those who resolutely remained beside her.Compared to people from the outside world, the clan members had less desire for material possessions.Those who stood their ground didn't feel displeased at losing a hefty sum in the bet. They also withstood the pressure Benjamin's glare exuded.It was fair to say they were the best among the best.They were from decent families and had been receiving proper education sin
