"How dare you!" Ginny tore up the photos.

She snatched the photos from the others except for Benjamin. She didn't dare to touch him. Ginny shredded the pictures and threw the pieces on the floor.

"Let's see how you can publish them now!"

Victoria stared at Ginny, who seemed to have gone mad. "I have plenty of photos. You can tear all you want. If it's not enough, I'll have someone send more over!"

Rushing up to Victoria, Ginny pointed at her with reddened eyes. "Don't you know that doing this will ruin Lettie? If you dare to do that, don't ever expect me to acknowledge you …"

"Shut the hell up!" Victoria interrupted Ginny. She jeered, "Mrs. Jameson, you are overestimating yourself. When did I ever say that I want to be your daughter?

"I have no interest in being your daughter whatsoever! Before I came here, I prepared hundreds of copies of these photos. Those photos will be shared with major newspapers and online if something goes wrong here.

"If you keep bothering me, the whole of Danube City and even Youngville will know about this and the fact that your precious daughter is actually a fake and a mistress who stole her own sister's fiancé!"

Nicole gave Victoria a meaningful look. She had underestimated her. Colette's and Zachary's reputations would be ruined if these photos were leaked.

Also, Mr. Harper Junior, who set up this marriage, would be unhappy with Zachary.

Nicole looked at Victoria. Then, she snarled, "You've crossed a line by dragging the Harper family into your schemes! Are you underestimating the influence of the Harper family?"

Benjamin fiddled with the rosary beads in his hands and sat down on the other side of the sofa. "This happened due to the lack of proper parenting on your end. Do not drag the Harper family into this."

That voice …

Victoria found his voice familiar. She looked at Benjamin, and her doubts vanished.

He was such an attractive and distinguished man. If they had met before, she would have remembered him.

Speechless, Nicole choked up at his retort.

Colette turned to Benjamin. She expressed with a hurt tone, "Uncle Benjamin, matters of the heart can't be controlled or coerced. Forcing an arranged marriage without love would only hinder both parties' happiness."

"Mom and I are only doing this for my sister's sake. I am willing to bear the consequences, but I didn't expect to drag you and the Harper family into this mess. I didn't mean to anger you!"

Ginny suppressed her urge to curse at Victoria and complained, "Yes, I put so much thought into this. Yet, she doesn't appreciate it at all. She is even rebelling against me!"

Benjamin had a disdainful smile on his face. "Are you mocking me? You mean to say that I haven't been in a relationship before, so I know nothing about matters of the heart?"

Bewildered, Colette stared at Benjamin. She tried to explain, "I didn't mean that, Uncle Benjamin … I …"

Wasn't he supposed to be furious at Victoria for threatening the Harper family? Why was he questioning her instead?

Benjamin said coldly, "Address me as Mr. Harper. Even your father, Roman, would show me that respect."

Biting her lip, Colette apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Harper."

Victoria was puzzled. Colette should be apologizing to her, right?

As if reading her thoughts, Benjamin pointed to Victoria. "You should apologize to her, not me."

Apologize to Victoria? Colette didn't want to.

"Are you unwilling to?" Benjamin pressed on in an impassive tone.

Colette was startled by Benjamin's words and muttered reluctantly, "I'm sorry, Victoria. It's all my fault. It is wrong of me to fall for Zachary since childhood.

"Even though I knew that both of you were engaged, I followed my heart and loved Zachary. I made the mistake of thinking you had no feelings for each other.

"I accept it willingly if you want to scold or beat me up. However, how could you threaten Uncle Benjamin and the Harper family? They are not involved in this."

Victoria couldn't help but chuckle at Colette's apology. "This is the first time I've heard someone describe being a mistress in such a refreshing manner! Besides, I'm not your sister. I don't want to be related to someone who would degrade herself to being a mistress!"

Colette glared at Victoria. If looks could kill, Victoria would be lying in a pool of blood right now.

She suppressed her anger and nodded silently. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She acted like she had been deeply wronged.

"My poor Lettie." Ginny felt sorry for her daughter and pulled Colette into her arms. She glared at Benjamin and Victoria. "Isn't that enough?"

"What do you think?" Benjamin asked.

Victoria paused for a moment. Then, it dawned on her that Benjamin was asking her a question. She had assumed that Benjamin would be on Colette's side. She was prepared to confront him, but things took an unexpected turn.

When a rare opportunity to ride someone's coattails arose, it would be a sin to let it go to waste.

Victoria mimicked Colette's coquettish manners. She whined, "I'm still feeling very sad, angry, and wronged!"

"Victoria, that's enough!" Ginny roared in a warning tone.

On the other hand, Benjamin smiled and indulged Victoria. "Then, what do you suggest?"

Smirking, Victoria swept her mischievous gaze over everyone in the room. The cunning look in her eyes made her seem like a fox.

Victoria pointed at Colette first, then at Zachary. "Colette, repeat this phrase twenty times, 'I am a two-faced bitch'. Zachary, you keep count!"

"Victoria, you …" Zachary couldn't take it anymore. He was about to burst into expletives when he caught a warning gaze from Benjamin. With that, he didn't dare to speak any further.

"Do it!"

A tense standoff ensued.

Victoria looked troubled. "Are you not going to do it? Then, I will reveal these photos to the public. After all, I've painstakingly come up with those headlines. It's not much trouble for me, really."

Nicole's face was red with fury. However, Benjamin was on Victoria's side, so she had to hold herself back. She nudged Zachary in secret.

Zachary went over to Colette, guilt evident on his face. "Lettie, I'll keep count. You should just say it."

As a man, news of his promiscuous flings was not a big deal. Compared to his affair with Colette, he was more worried that his friends would find out about his engagement to a country bumpkin like Victoria.

Colette's face was drained of color. Squeezing her eyes shut, she steeled her resolve and shouted, "I am a two-faced bitch!"

After repeating the phrase twenty times, Colette slumped to the floor, crying bitterly.

Victoria stared at her and added fuel to the fire. "Hopefully what happened today will put you in your place. Keep up the good work."

Zachary grew even more disgusted with Victoria. The thought of marrying her felt worse than death.

"Now that we did what you asked, you should hand over the film negatives and the engagement token."

Victoria refused with righteous indignation. "It is natural for a mistress who seduced another woman's fiancé to apologize and compensate the victim. You have no right to negotiate terms with me!"

She turned to Colette and sighed. "You could have found other single men to hook up with. Why did you have to find an attached man?

"It's fortunate for you that I am the victim of this incident. If it were some other woman, she would have dragged you out on the streets and given you a few tight slaps."

Colette cried even louder. She was boiling with hatred for Victoria.

Zachary was outraged. "Victoria, you've gone too far. I will never marry a woman like you!"

Victoria smiled contemptuously. "You have no say in the Harper family. Of course, I will call off the engagement. However, it is because I will not marry you and not the other way around. After all, I'm not interested in second-hand goods. Nonetheless, I am the injured party in this …"

    Zachary's face was crimson with anger. He pointed to the door. "You want money, right? I'll give you one hundred million dollars. Get out of my house right now!" Victoria shook her head and extended two fingers. "Two hundred million." Zachary roared, "Why two hundred million now? Have you gone crazy?" Victoria smiled. "You got me to fight just now. There's no free lunch in this world." Her market price for a fight was one hundred million dollars. "You attacked us! It wasn't a fair fight!" the bodyguards complained. "It's because all of you suck at fighting and deserve a good beating!" Victoria retorted. Zachary's anger caused his veins to pop out. "I'll give you 500 thousand dollars first. I'll give you the rest in a week." "500 thousand dollars? Are you trying to insult me? No, you have to give me at least fifty million. Otherwise, I'll stay right here at your house and not budge an inch!" Nicole's head throbbed with pain. She turned to Benjamin. "Ben, are you going to

    The luxurious car was spacious. There was a divider between the backseat and the driver's cabin.Victoria sat beside Benjamin.She assumed that someone like Benjamin wouldn't like talkative people. So, she did not say anything.In the silence, her phone suddenly vibrated. Victoria glanced at the caller ID and ignored the call.Soon, her phone rang again, so she silenced it."You can take that call."Victoria put down her phone and looked at Benjamin. "I don't want to. Some people are snowflakes. I don't want to end up having blood on my hands," she joked.Just like that, Benjamin knew the call was from Ginny.Victoria observed the upscale restaurant with a bird's-eye view to the city.Typically, this was the kind of place where couples come for dates. Why would Benjamin like this place? Plus, it was probably expensive to eat here. Victoria followed Benjamin into a private room, feeling sorry for her wallet.Courteously, Benjamin pulled out her chair for her.Then, he sat d

"You youngsters are always so rash and impatient."Victoria snorted, slightly offended. "I don't like people lecturing me."Ginny had given her enough lectures to last a lifetime.Benjamin laughed. "What if I told you I'll help you, and you can keep the house and all the money?""Are you serious?" Victoria turned back to him, her eyes shining.Benjamin leaned back in his chair while holding his glass and nodded.Delighted, Victoria sat back down.She sat in perfect posture, back straight and hands folded across her lap. "I definitely don't mind you lecturing me, then. Go on, Mr. Harper. What other advice do you have for me?"Benjamin couldn't help but laugh. He was surprised by his own laughter.When he fell silent, Victoria said, "You're right, Mr. Harper. I know I have a hot temper and tend to act rashly, but I promise I won't

    Victoria had her lunch at home on New Year's Day. She took a long nap before taking a cab to the Jameson Manor.All of Roman's relatives were gathered in the living room.Mrs. Jameson Senior sat at the center, with Colette on her left. Though she said nothing, she made it clear that she did not like Victoria. Her favorite grandson sat to her right.Roman's two younger sisters, his sister-in-law, and their children were also present. It was quite a crowd. There weren't even enough seats on the couch.Mrs. Jameson Senior put on a bossy front, and the others acted all haughty, as though it was their house. A smirk crept up Victoria's lips at the sight before her.She was sure that Ginny would be annoyed."Don't you know your manners, Victoria? Do you not know you're supposed to greet your elders when you meet them?"It was Cindy Lyle, Roman's niece. She was two years older than Victoria. She was also a student at Brighton Women's College. Cindy was Colette's sidekick.After Cind

    Victoria looked at Colette, who was looking at her in anticipation. "I'll consider it."Ginny slammed her cutlery on the table. "What do you mean you'll consider it? Had it not been for me, do you think Brighton would ever accept a student like you? They're the ones who should be considering whether to accept you!"Lindsey laughed in a sardonic tone and said, "Look at the special treatment the biological daughter gets. She didn't even attend school and was accepted into Brighton effortlessly."Lindsey had begged Ginny so many times before to help get Cindy into Brighton. Ginny had turned her down many times. Because of that, Lindsey had to act all deferential to Ginny for an extended period. Thinking about it now still pissed her off to no end.Roman shot Lindsey a sharp glare. "Shut up!"He then turned to look at Victoria and said gently, "Why don't you want to go there? Brighton is one of the top women's colleges in the nation.

    Victoria was lucky to get a cab soon after leaving the Jameson Manor. By the time she got back to Zion Estate, it was almost 9:00 pm.She showered and changed into a comfortable set of clothes. Then, she poured herself a glass of red wine and sat down on a cushion in front of the full-length window.The night view in Danube City was beautiful. As it was New Year's Day, bright lights lit up the entire city. There were even people setting off fireworks. It was a lively sight. Victoria sipped on the wine and set her glass down. Then, she tapped the WhatsApp icon on her phone and sent a message to Benjamin."Happy New Year, Mr. Harper!" She even added several smiley emojis at the end of the message.After visiting the Jamesons' today, she realized the value of Benjamin Harper's name. She reminded herself to hold on to him tightly and never let go of him.And if she were to do that, how could she possibly forget to send him festive greetings? She needed to make him feel like she

    Victoria smiled. "Well, if you're so worried, why don't you personally send her to school?"Ginny scoffed. "Don't think I don't know what tricks you have in store. You'd better not think about them. Colette is my only daughter, and I'll never—"Victoria had stayed up late the previous night, so she slept without charging her phone.The call was disconnected before Ginny could complete her sentence. Victoria's phone had gone dead.Ginny heard the beeping sound on her phone. She thought that it was Victoria who had cut off the call. Her expression darkened.She wasn't even done speaking, and Victoria had ended the call. How could such a rude person be her daughter? She would never let anyone know that she had such a daughter.Victoria felt somewhat disappointed when she saw the black screen on her phone. She hadn't even insulted her back yet. Ginny had lucked out.Victoria went and charged her phone. Then, she went out with the bank cards Roman had given her.Based on what a calc

    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
