Simon and his men blocked their way. They stopped Victoria and the others from leaving.Tilly walked to the front.She recalled Benjamin and Yvette's hand-holding scenario when she saw Simon. The look of displeasure and anger were evident on her face.Tilly spat, "You men are wretched things! I'm bringing Ciel and Selene over to stay with Vicky for the next few days!"Simon didn't know Tilly and Victoria had seen Yvette shopping with Benjamin in the mall earlier.He felt bewildered and looked toward Victoria.Ciel stretched his arms wide and stood in front of Victoria. He looked at Simon and said, "Watch your gaze! Don't bully Vivi!"Both Tilly and Ciel were siding with Victoria.Simon frowned.Selene ran over to his side and tugged at his pants. As soon as Simon looked down at Selene, his gaze turned soft.Selene was his precious daughter.Besides Wendy's group of people, the others were not surprised seeing the way Simon was doting on his daughter.It was as if they had s
Tilly asked, "Didn't we say we'll go back together, Vicky? Why did you change your mind? Did Uncle Simon say something to you?"What did you say to Vicky, Uncle Simon? How could you treat her like this! She was gravely injured and barely survived it …"Looking at the way Tilly had cried so easily, Victoria replied, "He didn't say anything to me."I was just teasing him earlier when I said I'll bring you guys to my place. I couldn't stand him. He deserved it for making you sad for so long."Victoria wiped Tilly's tears away.She said, "Really now, Selene didn't even cry. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"I just returned to Youngville and there's many things to do. I won't have the time to accompany you. I'll come look for you guys when I'm done."Victoria scooted close to Tilly.She whispered, "I know you're mad on my behalf because of Benjamin and Yvette's issue. But your two children are here, you should watch your words!"Victoria was just saying that Tilly when they heard Si
"Weren't you together with Mr. Harper, Ms. Jameson? Why did the both of you split up?"Did you cheat on Mr. Harper? What is your relationship with Mr. Langley?"Did you break up with Mr. Harper because you were cheating on him with Mr. Langley?""You failed to climb the social ladder after seducing Mr. Harper. Was that why you seduced Mr. Langley instead?"Mr. Langley has a girlfriend. What's the difference between you and a mistress if you're breaking others up like this?"Can't you look for eligible bachelors if you want to prove your charm?"…The few reporters were getting carried away.It was as if Victoria was a mistress with no morals. They were aggressive with their remarks.Louis' expression was cold and his brows were furrowed.He was stopped by Victoria just as he was about to lose his temper.Victoria cleared her throat near the microphone.Her question was even more straightforward when she asked, "How much did they pay you for this?"Those reporters were all
Yves fell into a trance when he saw Victoria sitting in the brightly lit hall.When he found out Victoria had awakened, he video-called Wendy at once to know how she was doing. Wendy had not only ignored the video call, but she also didn't answer any of his phone calls.It was his first time seeing Victoria after the incident. Taking in her smug attitude, he couldn't help but tear up. His expression betrayed his current emotion."Mrs. B!"The reporters were pestering Victoria when they saw him. Their eyes lit up immediately.Yves was Benjamin's sidekick, and Benjamin was now dating Yvette. So, Yves must be here to aid them now that they were taking instructions from Yvette.Holding their heads high, they were about to complain to him about what happened when Yves yelled out of joy.He darted toward Victoria and threw himself at her."Mrs. B! You're finally awake! Finally, I get to see you. You—"Wendy pushed him aside. "You ungrateful jerk. Get away from Victoria!"The onlook
Meanwhile, guests flocked to Evette Hotel in Youngville, the best hotel under the Harper Corporation. It was exceptionally lively.The White family had fallen from grace, but Yvette was dating Benjamin now. She had also started to intervene in the Harper family's affairs and seemed to have assumed the role of the lady of the house.So, everyone who received the invitation card attended the party.Yvette invited every reputable family in Youngville. She did that to restore her dignity, and it was also her family's opportunity to get acquainted with them.Those who didn't receive the invitation, like Candace's side of the family, used various means for a chance to attend the party.Apart from them, many reporters were invited. Because of the number of guests, there was heavy traffic around the hotel.At the entrance, Logan was greeting the guests with several members of the White family. His squarish face was full of enthusiasm.A lavish birthday banquet was going on in the banque
Shocked, Benjamin looked at Yves. "You mean, Victoria and Be—I are legally married? But I've forgotten everything?""It's true. It doesn't matter if you hung out with Yvette when Mrs. B wasn't back. I disapprove of it, but I can turn a blind eye to that."But now, Mrs. B is back. She sacrificed so much for you and almost died doing it."Besides, she's the only one you love. You were head over heels in love with her."Ben, could you have mistaken Yvette for the woman you see in some of your memories? Haven't you always hated her? What do you see in such a devious woman?"Benjamin replied, "She's been looking after me after I woke up from the injury. She's gentle and nice to me.""Mrs. B treats you even better! Yvette almost landed in jail, but Sienna bailed her out. Weirdly enough, she found you."Benjamin's eyes flickered as he looked at Yves.Yves was oblivious to that. He firmly continued, "You'll regret it if you choose to be with Yvette. She's way inferior compared to Mrs.
It was lively in the banquet hall as well-dressed guests toasted each other.Yvette walked up to Benjamin when he entered. However, Yves was right beside them. Under his watchful eye, she didn't have the chance to talk to Benjamin alone.She felt frustrated deep down. Yet, it strengthened her determination to get Benjamin to announce the news of their marriage today.At that moment, Victoria and Louis entered with their arms linked.It was Yvette's birthday today, and she was the star of the night. However, everyone else was more interested in Victoria, and she naturally became the focus of attention.Heads turned the moment she entered, and they were all amazed. The reporters directed their cameras at her without hesitation.Victoria also wore a cream dress tonight. Unlike Yvette's, which was made from shuttle tatting, hers was made from satin. It was well-tailored to hug her curves and was obviously the work of a renowned tailor.Her hair was in an updo, and she wore no jewelr
There was wine all over Yvette. She screamed shrilly, "Victoria Jameson! Have you lost your mind?"She raised her hand to hit Victoria, but Victoria grabbed it. Try as she might, she couldn't break free.Furious, Yvette shouted, "Let go of me, Victoria! I said, let go! Do you hear me?"Victoria muttered a faint "Okay" and let go when Yvette used all her force to pull free from her grip.Yvette wasn't prepared for that. Because of the momentum, she fell backward and crashed into the cake stand. She let out another piercing shriek.The multi-layered cake splattered all over her and covered her with cream.Enraged, she forcefully wiped the cream off her face. She didn't have to look into the mirror to know what a mess she was now.She had put her heart into preparing this banquet, on which she could steal the show. But now, it was all ruined! Victoria ruined everything!"Victoria Jameson!" Yvette was beyond herself with anger, so much so she was on the verge of breaking down."Yo
