Samuel's study was big, but there weren't many things there. Comment by Deborah Lim: i skipped the 书房。part since after that got mention again

There was a desk, some chairs, and his bookshelves. Everything could be seen at a glance. Comment by Deborah Lim: i'm assuming there are more than one chair there lah

There were many military-related books on the bookshelves. The books amounted nearly to a thousand in number.

As soon as Samuel had sat down, a servant came to serve them some tea.

The servant went back out once he was done serving.

Samuel looked at Benjamin, but ultimately, his gaze landed on Victoria.

He was scrutinizing her. His sharp gaze made everyone's hearts pound.

The atmosphere in the study suddenly became tense.

Victoria and Samuel looked at each other with a smile. It was neither overbearing nor hurried.

Abraham was surprised when he saw how calm Victoria was. He was pleased and satisfied.

After a while, Samuel took up a cup of tea and took a sip. He then said

    "Granduncle, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for Aunt Victoria if you ask her to compete with the two uncles?"Timothy and Steven were Abraham's successors whom he focused the most on. Their abilities were the strongest in every aspect among all of the Summers males.It was a matter of practice to make perfect with things like guns as well.These two men have been playing with guns since they were three.Who could compete with them other than some abnormally gifted person like Benjamin?Victoria didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.She decided to show off her skills in front of Samuel and Abraham. Otherwise, they wouldn't be at ease until the competition for the Harper family's security team had ended.Victoria walked to the long table full of guns. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her eyes were shining after she slowly opened them back."I'm ready."Abraham pressed down onto the pocket watch in his hand. "Start!"Victoria took the n

    "Sure."Abraham agreed easily. "How about we do it at Mount Grey? The terrain there was suitable, and it's the place we've been having our training at. I'll give you three days to familiarize yourself with the terrain." Victoria gave it some thought. "Where would I have so much time to familiarize myself with the terrain if this was a real battlefield? I don't need three days, we can just do it during tomorrow evening. "It'll be more exciting during the night. I'll just use the remaining time to check out the terrain. You guys can discuss and come up with a battle plan. Then we can make preparations."She had originally wanted to ask Wendy and the others to join her. But it wouldn't be any challenging if that was the case.Victoria looked at the rising Mount Grey. "I also need a helper."She needed someone that was familiar with the terrain.An extra person could help to provide more ideas and choices in times of trouble too."Who do you want for help? Anyone except for Ben!"

    Eleanor handed the dishes over to Benjamin once they were done dividing them. There was a good amount on their plates."You can just place your dishes outside your room once you're done. I'll get someone to clear them for you tomorrow morning. "You and Victoria should get a good night's rest. You don't have to wake up for breakfast. There's no rush for lunch as well. Hurry up and go upstairs."Benjamin liked the quiet and never liked being disturbed. His room was on the top floor.Nobody would go upstairs to disturb him generally.Melvin was eating. He looked envious when he saw how Eleanor had been admonishing Benjamin as if he was a child.Only Benjamin could get that kind of special treatment from Eleanor.His aunts would've been jealous if they saw Benjamin's outstanding treatment.Benjamin hummed a reply. "You head back and rest up earlier, too, Grandma."He then brought the food upstairs.Melvin looked pitifully at Eleanor. "Great-grandma, I'm tired too. Can I skip bre

    It was almost lunchtime when Benjamin and Victoria went downstairs.The Summers usually had lunch at this hour. However, those who envied and disliked Victoria thought she was putting on airs to uphold her identity.When the couple sat at the table, Abraham asked Victoria with concern, "Did you have a good rest?"Yesterday, Abraham warned the younger ones to keep what happened on the training ground a secret after he got home.Therefore, none of the other women knew what happened besides Eleanor, who was there with them. The women intuitively thought Abraham was expressing his concern for Victoria because of Benjamin.After all, he favored Benjamin over his own son.Victoria was energetic. Smiling, she glanced at Benjamin. Then, she replied, "I slept well, thanks to Benjamin."Our plan remains unchanged. Let's gather in the living room by 3:00 pm. You should all take a nap after lunch so you're all well-rested."…Everyone was already in the living room ahead of the promised

    Victoria scanned her surroundings and picked a CCTV blind spot to sit down."Firstly, Timothy and his team are now not your brothers or cousins. When you are on opposite sides of a war, they are your enemies."Let's give them their codes according to their birth order. Timothy's code is 'No. 1', Rex is 'No. 2', Steven is 'No. 3'—"Melvin was astounded. "You've got all of them right! Aunt Victoria, did you do a background check on us before your visit? Or did you stay up all night memorizing our birth order?""I wouldn't be so energetic if I didn't have enough sleep. I went to bed once we returned. Benjamin had to massage my tummy because I just had dinner and couldn't fall asleep." She looked blissful.Melvin wasn't expecting to learn about their lovey-dovey moments. "I understand what you're saying, but I can't imagine it. I'm still single. "Your public display of affection will hurt my poor, fragile heart. You haven't told me how you remember all that information. You were a

    Everything happened in the blink of an eye.When Rex came to his senses, he and his teammates were already eliminated.Hector was frustrated. He slammed his fist on the ground. "You're despicable."Victoria looked at the defeated men and grinned. "All is fair in love and war. You grew up in a military family, for goodness' sake."You're digging your own graves if you show mercy on your enemies. That's a simple rule, yet you all don't seem to understand it."She walked to the pit and looked down at Eric. He was looking out with resentment written across his face. She grinned. "Melvin, remove their watches and send a signal to their teammates."They achieved a small victory. Melvin carried out her orders efficiently.Victoria fished the rope out of her bag and threw one end into the pit. She told the others, "Pull your teammate out."Rex and his teammates did as told.Eric glared at Melvin once he was out of the pit. He looked furious at being betrayed. "You said we are brothe

    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

    "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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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
