Colette was acting weirdly. Anyone with eyes could tell that something was wrong.

Megan watched as Colette dropped her phone. She looked at Colette and said worriedly, "Lettie!"

Megan did not know what had happened. She frowned and looked around anxiously.

She was in the Warde manor. If people saw Colette in such a state, they would think she had bullied her.

Megan was afraid of a misunderstanding.

Colette heard Megan's shaky voice. She shuddered and came to her senses.

She looked at Megan as emotions swirled in her eyes.

Megan was also looking at her.

Suddenly, the phone stopped ringing.

Colette's heart pounded. She quickly used her hand to cover her phone as she picked it up. She made sure her phone screen was against her palm.

"What's wrong with you?"

Colette gulped. "Nothing's wrong."

The second she finished speaking, her phone began to ring again.

"Who's calling you?"

"I believe they've got the wrong number."

Megan was suspicious and did not believe her words.

    In the Warde Manor's living room, Elizabeth eyed Colette. "What did you say to that Jenkins kid?"She immediately replied, "Nothing. Just a simple chat to catch up."Elizabeth did not expect her to be truthful in the first place. Stone-faced, she expressed her stance."She is now in a relationship with your uncle and will become a part of the family in the future. Don't say what you aren't supposed to say."I'll ask you one last time about you and Zachary, have you really thought it through? Do you want to be together with him?"She had never viewed Zachary highly. Otherwise, she would not have allowed Victoria to break off the engagement.She looked down on him in the past. Based on his behavior today, she looked down on him even more.Ginny looked at Elizabeth with displeasure."Mom, why can't you agree on them being together? They're from the same generation. Besides, Beatrice and I don't get along."It's not as if you are unaware, they will have a lot of conflicts from now

    Colette picked her phone up and turned it on.She then looked into the mirror and made the saddest and most aggrieved expression that she could.After that, she went next door to seek Ginny.Ginny was still wailing.Upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, she thought Elizabeth had arrived. She immediately started to wail louder.Colette walked to her bedside."Mom, it's me, Lettie. Your voice has gone hoarse. I'll pour you some water."Ginny was extremely disappointed when she saw that it was Colette. "I won't drink it. No one cares if I live or die. I'll just die from thirst."Colette had the servants stationed in the room leave. She then turned and poured Ginny some water."Mom, your words stab me in the heart like knives. If I don't care about you, then who would? You're my most important person. I value you more than my life."Grandma loves you. Why else would she give the Harper family's shares to you?"Colette advised Ginny and helped Elizabeth put in a g

    Colette never thought that Ginny would seek Yvette out to settle the score, nor did she expect her to call the police. She panicked immediately.She grabbed onto Ginny. Her throat felt tight."Mom, lower your voice. If Grandma found out, she would care even less about your survival."If Ginny wanted to meet Yvette, then her lie would fall apart. Also, if a police report is lodged, the one arrested would be her instead of Yvette.Colette felt cold all over when she thought of those miserable days at the police station. She would rather die than go back.She continued, "If Yvette still cared about her reputation, would she go so far as to threaten me with this for a little money? She has nothing to lose and is now throwing caution to the wind."What if you irritate her and she publishes those pictures? What would you do?"It would've been fine if this had happened in the past. She had status. Begging for her help wouldn't have been shameful."But with her current reputation … won

    "Have you prepared the money? Why haven't you called me? Do you want my fingers to be cut off?"The first word out of Paul's mouth was about money. His voice disgusted and nauseated her.She was even more frustrated when she thought of how much effort she had to put into getting the money from Ginny, only to give it to scum like Paul.Cut off his fingers? Why did they not kill him immediately instead?However, she had her plans and goals besides handing him the money this time."We'll talk when we meet."Colette told him an address. "Meet me at that location."The place she chose was an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Youngville. Finding that location was not an easy feat for her.Not a single person lived at that location. There were also no surveillance cameras within a few miles of the place.They would not run into any familiar faces if they met there. They also would not be filmed or photographed.Colette was the first to arrive. She parked her car and took the sui

    After Colette and Paul parted ways, Colette headed straight to the mall.She entered the elevator with a bunch of shopping bags, heading down to the basement parking lot.Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she heard someone calling her from behind, "Are you Ms. Colette Jameson?"Colette turned around, wondering who it could be. Was it someone who knew Ginny?She was startled. One of the bags she was carrying slipped to the ground.Before she could regain her composure, a girl walked up to her. The girl was a few years older than her. She seemed familiar but Colette couldn't quite place her finger on it.Colette looked at her and asked, "Did you call me just now? And you are?""I'm Jenna Stone, the granddaughter of Leon from Cormal Corporation. We met before in Danube City at the party after the Brighton and Fortuna showcase competition."Jenna picked up the bag that Colette had dropped. She casually checked the contents. A hint of envy flashed in her eyes before she hande

    When Colette returned to the Warde Manor, it was already 11:00 pm.Ginny was still awake. She couldn't sleep, so she waited for Colette in her room.Seeing Colette's return, she rose from the bed and asked with clear displeasure, "Why are you back so late? I called you multiple times but you never answered."Colette looked exhausted. She closed the door and poured herself a glass of water."Yvette wanted me to accompany her. She made me put my phone on silent mode."Don't worry, I'm confident she won't publicize those pictures in the near future. I'll work on a plan to delete them permanently."On my way back, Mrs. Harper called me. She wanted me to convey a message to you …"Colette suddenly paused.Ginny, with annoyance in her voice, asked, "What is it?"Colette looked guilty and whispered, "She said she would only do a public reveal of my engagement to Zach after you transfer the Harper family's shares into my name.""If I'm going to transfer anything, it should be in your

    Victoria had just set down her phone when it rang again.It was an unknown number, but there was something vaguely familiar about it.She thought for a moment and decided to answer."Victoria, you heartless bitch. Your man's rolling in cash, and I've heard you're worth over a hundred million dollars."Raising you has been a major headache for seven years. Isn't that quite the load to bear? I figure you should pay me a million dollars for every year I have spent on you. "Hand over seven million dollars, or I'll make sure everyone knows you're a heartless, penny-pinching Scrooge."Your foster father is struggling to get by, while you're sitting on a pile of wealth, not giving a damn penny!"It was quite a coincidence.Victoria wondered if she had stirred up a hornet's nest. Two of the people she disliked the most were calling her at the same time."Who told you I'm worth over a hundred million dollars? Was it Colette? Paul, are you itching for cash, or are you begging for a th

    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
