Ethan video-called Victoria, but no one answered.When he called again, Victoria's phone was unavailable."Do you think her phone's signal is severed due to the explosion?"…In the underground tunnels, Victoria listened as Sharon explained what had happened in the past."So, Ethan's father's death had everything to do with Sienna's aunt? Why would she do such a thing?Sharon shook her head. She did not know either."Do you know her real identity? Does Ethan know about this?"Sharon shook her head once again."I don't want Ethan to know about all of this. I don't want him to avenge us. I just want him to live his life in peace and happiness."Victoria nodded. "I also don't want to endanger him. If I'm not confident I'll be able to help him exact revenge, I won't tell him anything."Sharon looked at her in regret. "If only you and Ethan could be together, I'd be rest assured."He is hot-headed and impulsive. It's easy for him to end up at a disadvantage. Could you help me lo
The gunshots had exposed Victoria's location.Victoria knew the men had zoned in on her spot as they walked toward her.She ran out of her hiding spot and tackled the nearest man. Then, she turned to shoot at the man beside her.Blood immediately splattered around her.Victoria did not hesitate as she jumped up.They began to fight. The longer the fight, the more vigilant Victoria became.These men were skilled.If she continued to fight them head-on, she could not guarantee that she would be able to win.She had to stay logical.Victoria looked at the guns that remained seated by their waist. They did not want to attract any attention.More accurately, they did not want to attract Benjamin's attention.After she had begun their attack, they must have used other means to inform Sienna about her location.She had to let Benjamin know where she was.However, she was fighting with multiple highly skilled men. Victoria did not dare to lose focus.After a few minutes of contin
Sienna became even more anxious. She was afraid Benjamin would have managed to rescue Victoria. She quickly pulled Jackalyn along as she ran out.Thus, Wendy managed to get off the hook.Before they reached the exit, they ran into Sharon, who was trying to see how Victoria was doing.Sharon's face immediately turned pale when she saw Jackalyn. However, her emotions quickly turned into rage as she charged at Jackalyn.Halfway there, Sharon suddenly thought of Victoria. She quickly stopped and ran in the other direction. However, Sharon was soon caught by Jackalyn's men.Sienna looked at Sharon and turned to look at Jackalyn. "Aunt Jackalyn, do you know her?"Jackalyn's voice was faint and full of disdain. It was as if she did not view human life as something important."She's just an ant. But she did leave quite an impression on me."Sienna looked at Sharon with hatred. "I'll kill you right in front of Ethan."Wendy watched as Sharon was apprehended and frowned.How could ther
Sienna laughed coldly as her expression turned crazed."Victoria, do you think Benjamin and Ethan would still love you if they saw what happened to you? Would they still care for you?"You're right. I have gone crazy. I've gone crazy because of you and Ethan!"Do you want to kill me? I'll make you live a life worse than death."Sienna began to cackle.Victoria pointed at Sienna. "What right do you have to blame Ethan? Your aunt had caused the death of Ethan's dad. She also cut off Aunt Sharon's tongue."Your aunt trapped Aunt Sharon here to manufacture drugs for Ashton. Her life is like hell on earth. All of Ethan's misfortunes are all because of your aunt."It's normal for him to refuse to marry you. It'll be a miracle if he chooses to be with you!"Also, you were the one who made so many plans to kill me. If you didn't, all these secrets would have never seen the light."Ethan would have returned to Yrindale, and you would have been Mrs. Cross. Your relationship with Ethan d
Jackalyn's men had a clear target. When Victoria and Wendy went their separate ways, everyone chased after Victoria.Soon, she was surrounded by Jackalyn's men. Everyone aimed their guns at her."We'll open fire if you continue to run!""Don't … don't open fire!"Victoria raised her hands in surrender. "I won't fight anymore either. There's no need to fight. I don't have the energy!"She sat on the ground. "You all can carry me or find something to lift me. I don't want to walk!"Victoria lifted her hand to wipe away her sweat. She relaxed, took a deep breath, and exhaled.If she continued to fight, even if she did not die by their hands, she would die from exhaustion.Looking at how the situation had unfolded, she knew she could not escape. If that were the case, the best move would be to save her energy and wait for an opportunity.She needed time to breathe.After everything that had gone down in the cave, no one dared to underestimate Victoria.All the men present were s
After Wendy noticed that no one was chasing after her, she found a place to unlock her handcuffs.When Benjamin and his men arrived at the Southwest exit, Jackalyn and Sienna had just left.Blood and corpses littered the ground. It was evident that a battle had occurred here.The smell of blood filled the air.Ethan looked at the corpses and saw Sharon, who was littered with bullets."Mom!" he shouted as he ran toward Sharon.He wanted to reach out and hug her, but he didn't know how. He panicked, not knowing what to do.He was filled with regret.His mother would not have died if it weren't for him.In the end, he managed to hug Sharon as he cried in agony. The veins on his head and hands were bulged."I won't let any of them go. I want revenge. I will avenge you and Dad!"Ethan was furious and depressed. Tears began to flow.Silas stamped his feet in anger. "We were too late. Where did they bring Victoria? Benjamin, bring your men to search the forest. I'll search the und
Upon seeing that Victoria was about to be carried onto the plane, Sean could not help but rush forward."Mr. Veron."Victoria heard a familiar voice and lifted her head. She saw Sean blocking a group of people with a determined look on his face."Let her go!" yelled Sean.Sebastian remained unmoved. His demeanor was still serious."Benjamin Harper's elite squad isn't here yet. The few of you are no match for me."Sean revealed the bomb on his waist.Sebastian chuckled. "If you detonate the bomb, not only would you die, but so would Mrs. Harper!"Sean pulled his clothes back down angrily.He looked at Sebastian. "She is Mr. Harper's lawfully wedded wife. He values her greatly, and you've seen it too. If you take her away, then you'll be blatantly picking a fight with Regalia."If that's the case, we'll tell the governments of every country about you guys. We'll tell the media too so that everyone will know of your existence. The Hughes will then vanish from the history books
"Lena Hughes?" Jackalyn asked uncertainly."That's right, it's me. I'm not dead. Isn't that unexpected? Now let Victoria go!" Victoria again."Who's she to you?" asked Jackalyn."That's none of your business. Let her go and don't appear outside."Also, I'm not going back either. Otherwise, everything you've taken from me, I'll take it back in the same way!""Lena, do you still think you are part of the Hughes? How long has it been since you've left?"The Hughes have changed long ago. Even if you return, there's nothing you can change!"Lena laughed and said, "The blood of the Hughes runs through my veins, so of course I'm part of the family!"As for you, who do you think you are? If you've really taken control of the situation, then you wouldn't have constantly tried getting me assassinated all these years. "If the things you did get exposed, not only will you lose everything you currently have, but you'll also be hunted by the Hughes."Jackalyn, think clearly. Would you b
