Wonder Wife Chapter 288 Fingers and Toes
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

Zachary and Colette's engagement party was just three days away from the Harper family's Security Team Election Event.For the Harper family, the biennial selection of security team members was a major event.The members of the Harper family had to bring their carefully selected elite candidates to the Harper Estate. It was customary to do so about a week before the Security Team Election Event.This early assembly not only allowed them to bond but also helped in preventing unexpected situations. After all, there were various rituals to be done before the competition.Everyone hoped their selected candidates would be chosen, and competition was inherent in the process.This year, due to a bet between Victoria and Yvette, discussions were underway to establish new rules for the competition.As a candidate in the Security Team Election Event, Victoria had to participate as well.Upon receiving the news, Victoria called Silas and the others. "Gather at the Harper Estate before 3:00

Victoria arrived outside the Harper Estate just a few minutes before 3:00 pm.Silas and the others had arrived earlier and were already waiting.Victoria had a strict rule when it came to punctuality. The time she mentioned served as the final deadline.Punctuality required being early. Arriving even a minute late was out of the question.Otherwise, terrible consequences would fall on the latecomer.After Victoria gathered with Silas and the others, they all headed to the Harper Estate together.The estate had a vast parking lot. Currently, it was fully packed with cars, leaving no space for even a single additional vehicle.Silas and the others followed Benjamin, driving directly to the main house of the Harper Estate.Seeing the crowd outside, Benjamin told Victoria, "Don't open the door. I'll do it for you."With that, Benjamin stepped out of the car.As Benjamin stepped out, a crowd promptly surrounded him. Maintaining a distance to avoid displeasing Benjamin, they respec

On one hand, Victoria had stopped Benjamin. On the other, Ethan stood up abruptly from the sofa.He reached a hand over to Ginny's uplifted arm and slapped it upward from beneath. Ginny let out an anguish scream and fell to the ground.Ethan walked to Ginny. His gaze was cold and deathly. "I'll send you down to hell first if you dare to complain about her!"Benjamin looked at the way Ethan was still vying for Victoria. His gaze turned ruthless. "Since when were you allowed to interfere with my woman's issues?"Ethan turned to look at Benjamin. He raised his voice, "Who said she was your woman? She's mine, mine!"Victoria watched the two men fight in front of a crowd. She felt an incoming headache.Benjamin tightened his arm around Victoria. He rested his head on her shoulders. "I feel dizzy all of a sudden."Victoria rolled her eyes inwardly. However, she still played along with Benjamin's jealous behavior and asked in a panicked manner, "What happened?""I haven't fully recove

Ethan would represent the White family after some discussions.Both he and Victoria had proposed the events for the competition. However, Benjamin was the one who had the discretion.Their competition was independent of the Harper family's recommended person. Both of them would not affect each other.The winning team would then compete with the Harper family's team. The final winner would end up being the Harper family's team leader.If Ethan won, it would mean that the White family could interfere with the matters of the security team. They could have the Harper family's core secrets in their grasp.On the other hand, if Victoria won, with the addition of Benjamin's affection, she would then become the well-deserved matriarch of the Harper family.After the discussion had ended, they talked about Zachary and Colette's engagement matters. But it was only for a few sentences before they were dismissed for dinner.Nicole hated the way nobody seemed to care about her only son's eng

Ginny ran away in anger.As soon as she had left, Zachary came out from somewhere else."Victoria."Victoria was in a bad mood. Goosebumps broke out on her skin upon hearing Zachary's squeaky voice. It was disgusting.Zachary looked like he had many things to say to Victoria. It was as if he was looking at his past lover.Victoria felt like she was about to throw up.She didn't even give Zachary the chance to speak. She cracked her knuckles and gave her fist a swing.Zachary was beaten to the ground.Victoria stepped on his face. "If it weren't for the fact that I don't want to disturb your engagement with Colette tomorrow, I would've made you lie on your bed for two weeks straight."Fuck off! If you still dare to show yourself to me, I will beat you up every time I see you. I'll beat you to death!"Victoria's expression was cruel. She pushed the soles of her shoes onto Zachary's face.Zachary didn't dare to cry out in pain for fear that Benjamin would come out. He gritted h

The Harper family and the Warde family were both among the high-ranking families in Youngville.Nicole was the one who announced the news of Zachary and Colette's engagement. At the same time, she also revealed the Harper family's betrothal and wedding gifts to Colette.Besides whatever that was promised by both parties during the discussion in the Warde manor, Isaac had even transferred the ownership of a mansion to Zachary's name.It was worth multiple hundred million.Their engagement was considered a strong alliance between the two prestigious families.The engagement was held in the Edencrest Hotel. It was one of the three biggest and most famous hotels in Youngville. It was also the Harper family's business.Nicole made arrangements with the hotel's management once the timing of the engagement was confirmed. The 16th to 20th floors were all reserved solely for them.The ceremony would officially start at 6:08 pm. The guests started to arrive one after another at around 3:0

Nicole had invited as many of Youngville's influential people as she could to the engagement party.Most of them attended out of respect for the Harper and Warde families.Over 100 tables were fully seated.It was a noisy but lively scene.Victoria and Benjamin sat right next to the main table.They were together with Yves, Louis, as well as some other scions whom they were close to.Once Ethan arrived, he took another chair over and placed it right between Victoria and Yves. Both he and Benjamin were now sitting on either side of Victoria.Victoria was conscious of the way Ethan had sat himself so close to her. She immediately scooted closer to Benjamin.Benjamin wrapped an arm around Victoria's waist. He then gently rested his head against her shoulders.His gaze toward Ethan was fierce as if he were a wolf protecting its food.His actions surprised those around the table who knew him. Their eyes widened at the scene before them.They still trembled even though his sharp

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
Wonder Wife Chapter 600 What's Your Motive
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
