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.

    Having just received a substantial sum of money from Yves, Victoria had a favorable impression of him. She smiled and replied, "You can call me whatever you like."After glancing at Benjamin, Yves leaned in closer and asked Victoria, "Weren't you drugged earlier? You don't seem affected at all. Is it because of your medical skills?"Victoria admired the check she was holding and thought for a moment before replying, "You are somewhat correct. My body has a strong resistance to drugs, so most medications don't affect me much."She smiled and glanced at Yves while adding, "This is a secret, though. I don't usually share this information with just anyone."She only told Yves about it because he gave her a huge sum of money.Yves said, "Of course. I won't tell anyone else."Quinton could not stand it any longer. "Are you done, Mr. Homer? Please move. We're leaving."He wanted Yves to teach Benjamin how to pursue Victoria—not for Yves to personally flirt with her.How could Yves fli

    When Victoria returned to Zion Estate, it was already early morning. Her excitement over Benjamin's promise to give her the deed for Zachary's house kept her up. She kept tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep.She decided to stay awake and browse her phone. It was past 4:00 am when she finally drifted to sleep.The next day, she was awakened much later than usual by the sound of her phone ringing."Hello?" she answered irritably.Roman's warm and affectionate voice rang out through the speakers.

    Soon, it was the day of Colette's birthday party. Although the recent scandal involving Colette had caused a huge commotion and brought disgrace to the Jameson family, most of the socialites and celebrities invited still attended the party. Victoria arrived at the party by taxi. When she got there, the driveway of the Jameson family manor was already filled with luxury cars. A temporary tent had been set up in the front yard. There were refreshments and servants to tend to the guests. Victoria glanced inside and noticed several men with cameras. They were clearly journalists. She knew that Ginny and the others were up to no good. Inside the Jameson family manor, the lights were bright. People were mingling, raising their glasses, and chatting.Victoria was dressed in the same outfit as the last time she had visited the Jameson family—a black hoodie paired with ripped jeans of the same color.She stood with one hand in her pocket, maintaining the same aloof and cool expression a

    Victoria and Yves looked like a matching couple as they walked off. Roman was ecstatic as his gaze followed them.He straightened up. He wanted nothing more than to announce that the woman who walked off with Yves was his daughter.He would soon be Yves' father-in-law.Zachary silently reproached Victoria for being flirtatious. He wanted to go after them, but Nicole grabbed him. "You mustn't offend Yves!"After leaving the hall, Victoria and Yves went to the backyard.She casually leaned against the wall and looked at him. "Why have you come?"Now that Colette's reputation had been damaged, no one wanted anything to do with her.Afraid of getting involved with her somehow, hardly any marriageable young men attended the party.Yves couldn't resist the juicy gossip. "Hey, Mrs. B. Are you really Roman's daughter? Were you born out of wedlock?"Then, he mumbled, "But it can't be. You won't be engaged to Zachary if you're an illegitimate child.""If you're curious, you can always

    Zachary could not contain himself. He jogged all the way to the swimming pool.However, it was empty. There was no one there.He glowered at the thought of Victoria tricking him. Fury replaced the excitement in his eyes.He turned to leave, but he had barely taken a few steps when he saw someone running toward him.Zachary's eyes lit up. He was about to exclaim in glee when he realized that person was Colette, and his face fell. "Why are you here?"Colette frowned. She sensed something off about his tone. Then, she seamlessly switched to a hurt expression. "Who were you expecting, Zach? Victoria?"Zachary's heart softened when he saw her expression. But then, he quickly remembered that she might have AIDS and could spread it to him.Thus, his heart turned cold again. "I'm engaged to her. Who are you to stick your nose in our affairs? I have other matters to tend to. I'll be leaving now!"Colette felt dejected. Only now did Zachary remember he had a fiancee.Why did he not ment

    Roman kept his excitement in check. He said matter-of-factly, "Victoria's not an illegitimate child. She's our precious daughter."When she was born, her health was frail. She had to be kept in an incubator. Ginny and I were a bundle of nerves then."Later on, we found a skilled tarot reader. He instructed us to entrust Victoria to someone in the countryside. We were also to keep her existence a secret until she was 18, after which we could bring her home."To keep her safe, we never told anyone about her, including Lettie."Roman gazed affectionately at Victoria as he expressed his remorse, "Vicky, I'm sorry we couldn't be with you when you were growing up, but we did it for your sake."You've turned 18 now. You're safe and sound. We can finally live together again. I'll certainly make amends. Say the word, and I'll give you anything you desire."Will you give us a chance to make it up to you?"As he ended his passionate speech, tears rolled down his cheeks.She was his precio

    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
