In the morning, Victoria woke up to find that the trending topic about her on Twitter had disappeared. The video of her dancing, along with the candid photos taken of her, had all been deleted. Even the related comments were nowhere to be found.At first, Victoria thought it was Louis' doing and did not think much of it.In the evening, the official account of Brighton Women's College issued a statement.Brighton would be suspending classes for three days to conduct an internal investigation. The college promised to provide an official explanation to the public within that time frame. At the same time, the Education Bureau summoned Yvonne for questioning.That night, at 8:00 pm, Colette posted an update on Twitter. The post was written in Ginny's voice."My poor daughter," it said.There was a photo attached. It was a photo of Colette in a hospital gown. She was lying on a hospital bed while hooked up to an IV drip. She looked extremely pale in the photo. It made her seem f
After Colette finished speaking, she moved closer without waiting for Victoria's consent.She tried to take a selfie of the two of them looking all chummy. Victoria was disgusted. Goosebumps rose on her skin. She grabbed Colette's phone and hurled it to the ground. She refused coldly, "No. I'm not taking any pictures with you!"Colette watched as her phone split into two. A new surge of anger was added to the existing mix of resentment she felt toward Victoria. She could not keep up the act any longer. Glaring at Victoria with disdain, she barked, "Victoria, are you crazy? I just wanted to take a picture to reassure my parents. If you don't want to do it, fine, but why did you have to smash my phone?"Colette was seething with anger. The photo was never meant for Ginny and Roman. Those two hardly cared about Victoria, let alone their relationship.Colette wanted to post it on Twitter.She had always wanted to enter the entertainment industry.She aimed to build genuine co
Inside the Passat, Victoria opened the folder Louis had given her. It contained documents related to the scions who wanted to sleep with her.Apart from the contact information Victoria had requested beforehand, there were other details as well. This included reports of the scions' family companies' financial situations as well as their interpersonal relationships within their families.Photos were attached to each of the documents too.Victoria chuckled in satisfaction. She praised, "As expected of you, Mr. Langley. I'll treat you to a meal later."After sliding the documents back into the folder, she continued gleefully, "I bumped into Zachary when I was leaving the school earlier. He looked so pale and exhausted. Did you tell your connections at the police station to give him a 'warm welcome'?"Someone with Zachary's standing in society would not be charged for such a petty crime in the first place. Even if he were to be detained, the police would still treat him well.And yet
Things were tense in the platinum-grade private room that was located on the fourth floor of Velvet Haven.Benjamin could be seen sitting on the armchair which was known as the main seat of the room. He spun the rosary beads with his left hand continuously while looking extremely intimidating.Yves was so frightened that he dared not utter a word. He could only shoot looks at Quinton as a way to probe for an answer.Quiton responded by pursing his colorless lips firmly. He looked like he was ready to welcome the imminent embrace of death.In the end, Yves was unable to hold his cheeky tongue. "Did Victoria break your heart, Ben?"That earned him a pointed look from Benjamin. Poor Yves could only gulp nervously. He quickly came up with an excuse to flee the private room."I'll find you a gorgeous babe! That way, you can ease up and have as much fun as you want with her!"Yves made sure to drag Quinton along with him before leaving the room.Simon looked at Yves' retreating silho
Soon, Victoria and Tilly's joint performance was over. The crowd was silent for a moment before a wave of thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the bar.Everyone's excitement soared to never-before-seen heights."Encore! Encore!"Someone in the crowd started shouting. Everyone soon joined in the chant, hoping that Victoria and Tilly would perform on the stage once again.Victoria did not care about the crowd's collective request at all. She took Tilly's hand and got off the stage.A bunch of men crowded around them eagerly. Victoria shielded Tilly immediately, her gaze growing icy as she tilted her chin upward. At that moment, she looked extraordinarily domineering."Y'all have a death wish, huh?"The men were so intimidated that they stepped away from Victoria, thus forming a passage for her and Tilly to pass.A uniformed staff member blocked their way. "Ladies, please come with me to accept your prize money."Meanwhile, Yves tried very hard to not gawk at the enchanting
Once the man finished speaking, he let out a deep and lecherous chuckle.It was Ronald Spencer!Benjamin sneered coldly. "He wants to bathe with you, hmm?"For some reason, Victoria felt rather intimidated when she noticed how murderous Benjamin looked.She murmured comfortingly, "He's just running his mouth. Calm down, Benjamin. Don't let idiots like him taint your hands. I'll teach him a lesson later, but you have to back me up if something happens, alright?"While Victoria simpered at Benjamin, a vicious glint flashed across her eyes.To think that Ronald was that eager to sleep with her!Fine. She would make sure he would not be able to sleep with any other women for the rest of his life! She would be doing the world a favor by snuffing out his sexual urges permanently!Benjamin hummed cheerfully in return. "Sure, I'll back you up."His response made goosebumps crawl all over Victoria's scalp. The weird feeling that had been plaguing her intensified.She tried to yank her
It took Yves a few moments to figure out what Victoria meant by having prepared a special little something for Ronald.Then, with his mouth slightly agape, he exclaimed, "You make it sound like those things grow on trees! I'll have you know that I'm a law-abiding ci—"Benjamin cut him off instantly, "The guys in the narcotics division can help us out. They definitely have bags of goodies lying around."Yves' expression froze. Had Benjamin forgotten that he was the one who invested in Velvet Haven in the first place?If something were to happen to this establishment, Benjamin would be the one suffering massive losses.Benjamin responded by shooting Yves a pointed look.Yves could only smile awkwardly at him. "I'll make a call."How could Yves forget? Benjamin was extremely loaded. In any case, he had the utmost power and authority, so he was willing to do anything just to please Victoria. As Benjamin's friend-slash-lackey, Yves had no choice but to follow the former's orders.
Colette was shocked.She looked at Zachary who had a look of disgust on his face. His fists were clenched.Seeing his reaction, Colette’s hands and feet turned ice-cold. She stood there in a daze until Zachary angrily turned away to leave. Only then did she react."Zachary!" she cried out as she quickly chased after him.Zachary was worried about being recognized while he was with Colette. He ran as if his life depended on it.While running away, Zachary bumped into Roman who came to find Colette.Zachary stumbled backward and tripped over something. He fell to the ground and landed on his backside. Roman was about to curse at the person who bumped into him for being careless when he saw it was Zachary.In an instant, Roman’s attitude changed, and he tried to help Zachary up.Zachary snorted at Roman’s actions and swatted Roman's hands away to get up on his own.Puzzled by his reaction, Roman suppressed his annoyance and asked with a smile, "Did you have an argument with Colet
