Benjamin's blood was boiling. He reached out to grab Victoria, but she ducked and took two steps backward. She ripped the towel off her body as she pulled away from Benjamin.The young lady was wearing a seductive nightgown after her bath.Benjamin couldn't help but gulp. It was as if the fire within him was about to explode. He lunged at Victoria as if compelled. However, Victoria was prepared. She picked up the towel on the floor and ducked.Once again, Benjamin found himself empty-handed. He looked at Victoria with a stifled and depressed look. His pitiful eyes held no trace of his cold bearing in public."Do I look good?" Victoria asked.Benjamin nodded. His mouth was dry, so he picked up the red wine that had just been placed on the bedside and downed it all.After downing the wine, Benjamin looked toward Victoria. He saw that she'd already wrapped the towel back around herself again."Do you want me to take it off for you?" she asked.Benjamin wiped the wine f
Victoria was a little surprised. Then, realization dawned on her. She found the situation quite reasonable. Mockingly, she said, "Colette has perfectly inherited Paul's lack of humanity. Paul probably never dreamed he would die at the hands of his own daughter. It's karma. He deserves this retribution for causing my grandfather's death. Now, being killed by his own daughter is poetic justice!"Victoria's expression was cold. She felt no sympathy for Paul. Only when mentioning her grandfather did her eyes shimmer with a hint of emotion. "He should have died a long time ago. His earlier death would have spared many people from suffering."Benjamin held her in his arms. "I'll send these materials to the police, and then to the media." His intention was to ensure that Colette had no chance of redemption."Benjamin, are you thinking she's too ruthless and might harm me? I don't think she has that ability." Victoria leaned on Benjamin and thought for a while. "I'll call Louis."She g
She was cursing with a crazy and malicious look."Don't watch!" Benjamin turned off the video. He exuded a chilling and murderous air. "Since she's gone mad, let her be mad. Lunatics should be where lunatics belong."She deserved even more to die!Victoria rested her hand on the long table and propped her chin.Her smile was bright in the sunlight. However, her eyes were watery with an unnoticeable redness."I'm suddenly a little envious of Colette," she said.Benjamin took her in his arms. His murderous intent grew even stronger. "I will destroy what makes her enviable to you. No one else can have what you can't have."Victoria hugged Benjamin back. "I, too, find it triggering to keep watching annoying people get in my face all the time. Benjamin, you can do whatever you want."Victoria then gently pushed Benjamin away. She held his hand and caressed it. "But don't dirty your hands for someone unworthy."Her eyes sparkled as she looked up at Benjamin. "Benjamin, I like watc
Ginny, who had been banging on the door like a madwoman, froze upon hearing that. She even stopped crying.Colette was just as dumbfounded, unable to believe what she had just heard. She stared at Elizabeth as she broke into an uncontrollable cold sweat.They had just disposed of the body a few hours ago. How did Elizabeth know about this? Could she possibly know that she was the one who had actually killed Paul?A strange silence filled the room."Mom!" Suddenly, Ginny screamed and rushed to the bedside. She knelt in front of Elizabeth. Blood was flowing down her face, which was as puffy as a bun. She looked more terrifying than a ghost.She pleaded while crying, "Mom, I don't want to go to jail. Mom, please help me. I'm your only daughter. What will you do if I go to jail? Please help me with this. I didn't do it on purpose. It was him. He was the one who used force on me. I'd rather die than go to jail. Mom, you mustn't let this matter get out. How am I going to face the wo
In front of the Warde Manor.A large crowd of reporters surrounded Cole."Colette, I'm your brother. Come out and see me!""Dad left your engagement party last night and hasn't returned. Where did he go?""Colette, I've only been here for a few days. I'm not familiar with this place. You know Youngville well. Can you ask someone to help find him? Has something happened to him?"...Colette and Zachary's engagement party the previous night had caused quite a stir, and it made headlines in the news.Not only did reporters know about it, but gossip lovers online were also aware of what had happened.Upon hearing Cole's words, the reporters sensed a scoop and eagerly thrust their microphones toward him."Sir, who is the person you're calling out? Is it Colette?""What's your relationship with her? And what does she have to do with your dad?""Did your father disappear after meeting her? Have you reported it to the police?"Some reporters took photos, and those with quick minds
The gates of the Warde Manor were tightly shut, leaving Nicole, Zachary, and the group of reporters stranded outside.Zachary, now a controversial figure, was quickly surrounded by reporters."Mrs. Harper, Mr. Zachary, any comments on the hotel incident from last night?""Are you here to apologize in person?""Mr. Zachary, between Yvette and Colette, who would you choose?"As the journalist posed the question, a sly smile played on his lips. His expression was a mix of schadenfreude and mockery.Regardless of Yvette or Colette, both had tarnished reputations now. Even if someone were to choose between them, that someone wouldn't favor either.Zachary's face shifted between pale and blue. He aggressively swatted away the reporter's microphone and pointed at him. "Choose? I won't choose either! Do you even know who I am? What's your name? Which newspaper company are you from? Believe me. I can make you gone!"Zachary looked menacing and seemed like he had taken some kind of subst
The intense confrontation between Colette and Nicole suddenly came to a halt.In that brief moment of distraction, Colette's face was slashed, leaving a long bloodstain.The wound was deep, and blood quickly began to flow.However, Colette seemed oblivious to the pain. She forcefully pushed Nicole away and looked at Cole. "What did you just say?"Cole pointed to the television. "I saw the news just now. It's Dad. He's been covered with a white cloth and taken away. Take me to him!"Colette pushed Cole away and turned to Elizabeth.Elizabeth watched the TV with a pale face. She seemed mentally absent."Colette, Dad and I stayed at the hotel for a long time last night. He suddenly left. He said he wanted to do something interesting to change his fate. Do you know where he went? Where is Fort Town? Why would Dad go there?"Cole bombarded her with questions, but Colette seemed not to hear any of them.All she did was stare at the television with a look of fear in her eyes.How co
Elizabeth and Colette rushed toward Ginny.Elizabeth held Ginny's mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue while Colette forcefully restrained her body.Meanwhile, the servants hurriedly brought towels and stuffed them into Ginny's opened mouth.Everyone acted in sync, and it was evident that this was not their first time dealing with such a situation.The entering reporters were initially bewildered. When they realized what was happening, they raised their cameras and started taking pictures.Ginny, in her seizure, seemed highly sensitive to the cameras. Her eyes rolled back, and her expression became more contorted.Elizabeth shouted at the reporters, "No photos! No more pictures! Stop taking pictures!"The police intervened in the matter by preventing the reporters from getting closer. "Didn't you hear? No more photos! You're obstructing official business!"The reporters reluctantly put down their cameras upon hearing the charge.Nicole's face lit up with satisfaction. S
