The corner of Victoria's frozen lips twitched. She forced out a polite smile as she walked toward Benjamin.She asked, "What made you come here, Benjamin?"Benjamin frowned slightly when he heard her words and replied, "I'm not even allowed to visit you now?"Victoria was quick to sense the note of jealousy in his tone.She shook her head and said, "Of course you can!"She looked up at Benjamin with glinting eyes as she murmured, "I'm happy that you're here, Benjamin."Benjamin's icy demeanor lessened slightly as he saw that Victoria only had eyes for him.He could easily let Victoria off, but he wouldn't be as generous to someone who was trying to steal his woman away.He walked past Victoria toward Asher.Asher could feel Benjamin's piercing gaze on him. He stepped back fearfully with a hint of panic.Victoria's gaze followed Benjamin. She raised her brow when she saw how Asher was acting.Benjamin picked up the portrait that Asher had accidentally dropped on the ground an
Asher looked at the way Benjamin had pulled Victoria back. His lips formed a silent 'O' before running away swiftly.Soon enough, only Victoria and Benjamin were left in the room.…Asher was still looking shocked outside of the room.How frightening!Asher patted his chest before arching his neck to look into the room.He asked, "What's going on between Ms. Victoria and Mr. Harper? Did they know each other from the outside world?""They don't!""No!"Silas and Wendy denied it in unison.Asher stared at the two of them in obvious disbelief.Ruby, who was standing at the side, added, "Everything Ms. Victoria is doing is for the bigger picture of the Hughes clan."Wendy immediately agreed and said, "She's right. Ms. Frost repeatedly urged us not to offend Mr. Harper before she left."Even though we don't know for what reason, Ms. Victoria is sacrificing herself for the greater good!"Asher replied, "Mr. Harper is rich and handsome. Countless young ladies from the noble fami
Victoria's finger touched Benjamin's lips, but her wrist was held by him.She did not struggle but instead looked at him with a smile.She replied, "Because this is useful against you. Do you not like it anymore, Benjamin?"How could he not like it?Victoria's lips curled upward, and even her eyes were smiling.She was confident that she had Benjamin right under her control.She was self-assured and unscrupulous.Benjamin narrowed his eyes and easily carried her over to sit on his lap. He then placed his other hand on the back of her head and leaned in to kiss her hard.Victoria smiled and wrapped her arms around Benjamin's neck cooperatively.Benjamin kissed her harder. His arms tightened around her body.The sounds of their kissing and their heavy breathing could be heard in the quiet room.Victoria leaned against Benjamin's chest as she breathed in laboriously. Her cheeks were flushed red.She could hear Benjamin's heartbeat alongside her own beside her ear.Victoria re
Victoria raised her eyebrows. She looked straight at Benjamin's muscular chest."Are you trying to make me forget what I saw by replacing my memory?"She was excited and not the slightest bit shy. "How long should I look?"It wasn't because Victoria was unabashed. Victoria and Benjamin were legally married. They had done everything a married couple would do after moving in together.She could not feel any sense of embarrassment from just looking at his chest.Benjamin looked at Victoria as she stared straight at him. Her gaze was brazen.Victoria seemed unaffected, but Benjamin could feel himself heat up with her gaze."If you want to see, you can look at me. My body is in much better shape than everyone else."Besides, I'm wealthier than Asher. Asher's wealth comes from his father, whereas all my money is mine alone."Everything that is mine is yours. I'll even give you a mountain of gold if you want me to."Victoria laughed out loud. "I know. You're much better than Asher.
On the day of the foal's tenth-day celebration banquet, Wendy woke Victoria up.After spending a long time getting ready, Wendy looked at Victoria through the mirror. Wendy's eyes shined."Victoria, you'll be the most beautiful woman there. You'll definitely outshine Roxy."What?Victoria frowned and took off the heavy gold jewelry on her head.She rubbed her neck and said, "That's so heavy! It's too heavy. I can't wear that. My neck is already aching from the weight."Victoria could feel a headache coming at the thought of wearing such heavy jewelry for the whole day.Wendy did not see anything wrong with the situation. "It looks good. The gold jewelry makes you look wealthy.""What would you think if you saw a girl attending a banquet with a head full of gold jewelry?""I would think it's a waste of money. It would also make her look unsophisticated and ugly."Wendy immediately continued, "However, commoners clothing would not be suitable for such gold jewelry."The women
Victoria watched as the butler walked up and guided the way. She lowered her curtains.Quickly, the carriage was well on its way.Wendy sat opposite Victoria and lifted the curtains once again to look outside.After a while, she lowered the curtains and looked at Victoria.Her voice was soft as she whispered excitedly, "Ms. Victoria, all the carriages are headed toward the small house opposite the paddock. However, our carriage is entering the paddock directly."Victoria lifted the curtains again. She just so happened to see a vehicle carrying around seven to eight girls out of the house.The vehicle looked quite similar to a golf buggy. However, the buggy was made of wood, not steel.The buggy had six wheels, and they were all made of wood.It had beautiful engravings on it and had been painted thoroughly. It looked so exquisite to the point that it looked like it could have been a museum treasure.A woman sitting in the driver's seat was turning the steering wheel. Next to t
The tour took around half an hour."Other people's paddocks are just plain and simple. Not only does my paddock have a race track, but it also comes with an archery range and a football field."You can carry out every activity you can think of here. There are a few mountains behind the paddock. They also belong to my family."During spring or autumn, we can go hunting. Right now, we can go and pick fruits."The scenery is also beautiful. Those dignitaries in the Hughes clan like to come to my place often to play around."Wendy marveled at the place. "No wonder Mr. Chadler's so wealthy. You and your family are amazing!"Wendy sincerely gave Asher a thumbs up. Her expression shined with genuine respect."The fact that the paddock is well received in the Hughes clan definitely has something to do with Mr. Chadler's greatness. Your paddock is large and beautiful. It's also unique."No to mention these buggies. The Hughes clan also uses carriages, yet you have gold buggies in your p
Asher gave a short explanation before leaving in the buggy hurriedly.Wendy watched as the gold buggy sped away. She looked at Victoria and murmured, "I wonder what happened. He's acting as if the sky has fallen."If it weren't for her situation, Wendy would have secretly followed Asher to see what had happened.Silas said, "Ms. Victoria, he took the buggy. What are we supposed to do?"Victoria was not worried. "When he reaches where he needs to be, the buggy will return to fetch us. I'm not in a rush anyway."Victoria pursed her lips and pointed at the black horse. "Just now, Asher said that that horse looked like Ms. Frost's old horse. I want to go in to take a look."Wendy disagreed. "You'll need to attend the banquet later. It'll be alright if it was Silas and me, but what would you do if the smell sticks to you?""Ask someone to bring us some smocks."Victoria asked someone to open the gate to the stables.Due to Asher's orders before he left, Victoria, Silas, and Wendy c
