Benjamin carried Victoria to the bed and lay beside her. She turned to lay on her side and gazed at him. Stroking his face, she felt deeply concerned.

She snorted. "You promised me you'd eat well, sleep well, and take good care of yourself," she grumbled. "Why have you lost so much weight? And your eyes. They're all red. Does it hurt?"

She reached out to massage his eyes for him but found this position uncomfortable. So, she sat up. "Close your eyes, Benjamin. I'm lulling you to sleep."

Benjamin glanced at her hair that she wrapped in a towel. "Let me help you dry your hair."

"I'll do it later. C'mon, go to sleep. How long have you been staying up? Is this how Yves and the others look after you?"

As she examined his eyes, she huffed. "Where's Yves? I'll rough him up for sure!"

She was cross and evidently concerned. Her reaction soothed Benjamin's frustration. He chuckled. He sounded cheerful as he said, "He'll be here in a few days."

Victoria raised an eyebrow. "He's coming?"

    Benjamin had short hair, so drying it didn't take long.Victoria put down the hairdryer and massaged his temples. "Benjamin? Is it comfortable?" she asked softly.It was. Benjamin let out a low hum, and that gave him away."I told you to sleep, didn't I? And you said you were going to. You can't hear me if you did!" Victoria urged, "I'm getting angry if you're still not asleep!"He burst out laughing.She softened her tone and said soothingly, "You should sleep now. I'll be right here with you."Benjamin was exhausted and sleepy, but he was also thrilled that he met Victoria. Because of that, he refused to close his eyes.Victoria's presence was calming to him. Her massaging hit the right spot, too. He was feeling very comfortable. His taut nerves were now completely relaxed.Soon, he felt groggy and slowly drifted off to sleep. Before he did, he pulled Victoria into a tight embrace and rested his chin on her head. In a gruff and sleepy voice, he said, "Let's sleep."Victoria

    Ethan's eyes were spitting fire. He sprung up in a rage and kicked the chair he was sitting on again. "What would you know?"Wendy stepped back. "Okay. So Sienna threatened you to marry her," she mumbled. "You agreed to the engagement. It's about time you bear your responsibility after dragging it out for years."Ethan felt a surge of anger. Eyes bulging, he barked, "Out! Get the hell out of here!"Wendy turned to leave. At the door, she gingerly looked back in. "You may want to keep it down. Benjamin's asleep."Ethan had a murderous glint in his eyes as he turned to her. "Wendy Smith, don't take it for granted that I won't kill you!"Wendy knew her life was in his hands. She fled as fast as she could.Ethan was terrifying. Looking at him, Silas said, "That's just how Wendy is. She says anything that comes to mind. Don't let her bother you. Victoria's coming over soon. Perhaps you want to take a shower."Huffing, Ethan tried to calm down. "Yeah. Tidy up, will you? Get Victoria t

    Victoria nodded. "Wouldn't you say so? Except for the likes of Ginny, Roman, and Paul, there aren't many parents who don't love their children, right?""Then what about Wendy and the rest? Am I more important to you than them?"She couldn't say no, could she? "Of course. Parents pay more attention to the naughty ones."Sweet-talking Silas and Wendy was easy. None of them would dare to throw tantrums right before her eyes like Ethan.Ethan retorted, "Don't think of yourself as my parent! If you're my mom, won't that make Benjamin my dad? I won't allow that!"You said I'm second only to Benjamin in your heart. But there's a stark contrast between the first and the second, don't you think? Anyway, I'm not giving up on you. You're mine. I'll never let Benjamin steal you from me!"He was stubborn. Victoria had a headache just by looking at him. "You give me a headache whenever you say that."Ethan couldn't be bothered about that. "Think long and hard. Are you sure I'm the second most

    Victoria returned to her room. As she sat on the edge of the bed to take off her shoes, someone hugged her around the waist from behind.She turned to look at Benjamin as she lay down. "I said you should go to sleep, didn't I? Have you been awake all this time? I told you I'd be back soon. You didn't listen to me."She gently prodded his face. Benjamin opened his eyes and grabbed her hand. He put it to his lips and kissed it.Sensing what he was trying to do, she pushed him away. She called vigilantly, "Benj—"Before she could finish, he had already kissed her. "I can only sleep when you're beside me."She struggled. However, Benjamin was assertive and determined to get what he wanted. She didn't have a chance to refuse.Pinned to the bed, she lost herself in his kiss. Her struggles were futile. Feeling bad for Benjamin, she stopped making things difficult for him and hugged him back on her own accord.She glared at him. Little did she know, she looked extremely alluring with he

    Victoria gave Wendy a death stare. Wendy knew she'd screwed up. She chuckled awkwardly before saying, "I'm going to get y'all some food."She fled as quickly as she could and even remembered to close the door behind her.Benjamin arched an eyebrow at Victoria, who pulled him into the bathroom.He leaned against the door. "I'm also curious to know what you told Ethan to stop him from coming and picking a fight with me. He even went to Sienna of his own accord so she wouldn't realize I'm here."She pulled the toilet bowl lid down and sat on it. "Ethan's just like a child. He takes to sweet-talking pretty well."Benjamin frowned. "Are you saying that I'm the opposite? Cutie, that's not what you used to say about him. You were unwilling to sweet talk him then. Your attitude toward him has softened."That was a bad sign to Benjamin, who was overly possessive toward Victoria yet felt terribly insecure in their relationship."Benjamin, I'm your wife. I'll be with you for the rest of ou

    Benjamin didn't leave. He stayed with Victoria in the room. With Ethan willingly covering up for him, no one knew he was there. Also, after resting, he looked much better.…Time passed in the blink of an eye. It was soon the night before Ethan's research team would arrive at the factory. They gathered in a room to discuss their plan of action tomorrow night.Victoria said, "We'll take action at 12:30 am. Wendy and Yves will move the women out of the underground club."Ethan, get ten men to go with them. Half will follow them into the club, while the other half will assist from outside. Benjamin, you'll be rescuing Timothy and the others."Benjamin looked at Victoria and asked, "What happened to them?"Afraid it would affect his sleep quality, she hadn't told him about them.Ethan rushed to answer, "Ashton injected them with my drugs." He didn't care whether or not it would worsen his relationship with Benjamin.Victoria added, "He only had a small sample and used some of it on

    Yves was wearing a hood with only an opening for the exhalation valve. He removed it as he got out of the car.He sized up his surroundings and quickly spotted Ethan and the others. Excited, he waved at them.Ethan watched his silly antics with obvious disdain. Yves would've given himself away if that wasn't Ethan's team down there. What an oaf! He never thought twice before doing or saying anything!Sienna was beside him and recognized Yves. "A friend?""I'm not friends with such a half-wit!"Everyone else got out of their cars. Someone who seemed to be a leader was already instructing them to unload the trunks.His face full of smiles, Ashton eagerly approached them. Ethan also walked up to the crowd.Most of Ethan's subordinates were men of Ashton's age. The eldest there was only in his 40s. Considering their mission, Ethan excluded the older team members, who could have difficulty getting about.His subordinates disregarded Ashton. Instead, they all walked up to Ethan when

    It was drizzling, and the wind was strong in the hills. Suddenly, it was as cold as early winter. No one was outside the drug factory except the guards on their shifts.The employee dormitory was dark and quiet. Only the sound of the wind could be heard.A few agile silhouettes darted out of the room Victoria stayed in. Descending out of the blue, they knocked out a few careless guards and hid them.Wendy and Yves led their team into the underground club."Benjamin, you should rescue Timothy and the rest now. I'll go to you soon," said Victoria.Benjamin was worried about her. He wanted to stay with her, but his family needed him more.He allowed her to put herself in danger for the Summers. Now, he couldn't stay by her side because of the drug dealers at times like this.They had already talked about it. Still, once Benjamin turned his back to her, he felt immense guilt and dejection.He turned around and hugged her. Reluctant to leave, he kissed her on the forehead with a pai

    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
