Cindy only had Victoria in her eyes as she approached the latter. When she was right behind Victoria and opened the bottle, someone had made a move before her. "Victoria Jameson, you bitch! How dare you hurt Lettie? I'll kill you!"With that, a man furnished the knife hidden in his sleeve and charged at Victoria.People around them scurried away when they saw the weapon in the hands of the belligerent man. They were scared of being caught in the crossfire.Victoria dodged the attack while reaching out for something in her coat pocket.When the blade cut into her flesh, she put on a grimace. Her lips twitched, and she pressed on her wound as she kicked the man away from her.Today, she put on a beige coat instead of her usual dark outfit. The coat was instantly stained red by the blood, which was horrifying to watch.Only the handle of the long knife was hanging outside her body, also soaked in blood and dripping.Meanwhile, the man scowled in pain on the ground. He stared at h
Benjamin turned to Yves and instructed, "Please take care of that."Yves grunted and marched to confront the hospital director and his staff. For four whole hours, he was left tortured with worry.Four hours! Not one of the staff had bothered to inform him about the situation.Benjamin turned around to Victoria and assured her, "Don't worry. Yves and I own this private hospital. They will be tight-lipped."Feeling reassured, she rested her cheek in her hand and stared at him with admiration."You own Velvet Haven and now a private hospital. I am envious of your assets."He smiled but remained serious as he replied, "You can have them any time you want."She seemed to have missed his point, but her admiration only grew. He was so rich that he wouldn't mind one bit if he had to give some of his assets away. If it was Victoria, she wouldn't have been so generous with her properties.She decided to stay on Benjamin's good side and follow in his investment footsteps so that she'd be
Victoria's good mood was instantly spoiled by the word "daughter". It was repulsive. Her smile faded.Benjamin said sternly, "Throw him out!"However, Victoria stopped him, "No, we shouldn't let the hospital's reputation suffer because of him. That will only affect business."Let him be. As long as he's not causing trouble in my face, I'll turn a blind eye to his shenanigans."Yves agreed that Roman and his family were annoying. He suggested, "Mrs. B, why don't we take down the Jameson Corporation? Let them spend their days back in the countryside."Victoria sneered, "If they lose their tiny company, they still have support from the Warde Family. Do you really think they'll head back to the countryside?"Elizabeth Green would shoulder the impact if the Jameson Corporation declared bankruptcy. She might be disappointed in Ginny, but judging from previous incidents, she likely wouldn't refuse to help Ginny out.It wouldn't hurt the Wardes to lend a helping hand to the Jamesons.V
It was the third day after Yves sent Victoria to the hospital. Reporters still surrounded the entrance. Some even sat on the steps as they munched on their breads.A car slowly pulled to a stop before the inpatient department. Right after, Roman, Ginny, and Colette got out of it.They looked weary and upset, especially Ginny. Her face was ashen as though she had just recovered from an illness.Roman and Colette helped her out.Upon seeing them, the reporters' eyes gleamed like wolves spotting their prey. Flinging their food aside, they grabbed their cameras and mics before lunging forward.Colette stood before Ginny. "My mom is sick. Don't push her!" she cried anxiously.Roman looked moody. "My wife was taken aback after learning that Victoria was injured. She fainted on the spot and was in bed for two days." Colette was so upset she wept, "It's my fault. It's all my fault. I failed to restrain my fans …"The reporters consoled her, telling her it wasn't her fault. Then, they
When news of Victoria's condition spread, it caused an uproar.Everyone cursed her, furious at how someone as evil as her was still alive. It was all very unpleasant.Immediately after, the official account of "My Child" announced that Victoria would be present for the live broadcast of the next episode.Related topics were soon trending on the internet. Many praised the production team for achieving that.The production team frequently updated their social media account and placed themselves on a pedestal. They declared they would fulfill Roman and Ginny's wish to reunite their family so they wouldn't have any regrets.Meanwhile, they also reminded the public to stop being hostile toward Victoria. That was to ensure their broadcast could proceed as usual.They even hinted several times that those who attacked her before this were still in custody.On the day of the film shooting, Victoria arrived at the TV station in a car. From afar, she noticed there was a crowd at the entran
At the center of the stage, Victoria was to sit opposite the Jameson family.Three moderators sat on one side of the stage, while about 100 members of the audience sat in the seating area.Victoria went up the stage. Before she could sit, Daisy staggered toward her with Roman's help.Hunching her shoulders, Daisy approached Victoria and reached out to touch her face. "Let me have a look at you."Victoria frowned and dodged her hand.Daisy's hand froze mid-air. Her despair was evident, and it broke the audience's hearts.Tears flowed from her dull eyes. "Vicky, do you hate me?" she asked.Victoria clenched her jaw and looked away.Roman soothed Daisy and explained on Victoria's behalf.Ginny approached them, too.She stood before Victoria and gazed at her. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she started weeping. She seemed overwhelmed with grief.Colette stood beside Ginny, anxious and concerned. She tried to calm Ginny down.She was deepening her impression as an obedient d
Victoria's actions caught everyone by surprise.Some of the audience instinctively shut their mouths and covered them with their hands. They feared that she would throw something at them if they uttered a sound.Colette was secretly glad when she saw what Victoria did. Victoria was digging her own grave.But when Victoria looked toward them, Colette suddenly had a very bad feeling.Victoria wasn't who she used to be now. She wouldn't have acted recklessly for nothing.Didn't she say she would "clear things up, one by one"? What was she trying to say?She was still uneasy when Victoria said, "Firstly, you said you had no choice but to send me to the countryside. Someone was there to look after me. And who was that? Get her here so I can get to know her."Roman was joyous. Pleased, he glanced at Colette. But on the surface, he put on a disappointed face."You're upsetting me," he said. "Aunt Julia must be dismayed to hear you. It has been long since she met you, and she insisted
Victoria slowly turned around and faced the audience.Her shoulders were half exposed, and she was smiling faintly. Under the spotlight, she looked divine.She arched an eyebrow at the Jamesons. "You see it? Is it on the right or the left?"Someone drooled. Even David was staring wide-eyed at Victoria.Their first reaction was not to find which side her butterfly-shaped birthmark was on. Instead, her charms defeated all their reasonings.Some recalled her captivating dance at the commencement ceremony of Brighton Women's College.No wonder Yves was mesmerized.Colette fixated her gaze on Victoria's refined features. When she heard the audience gasp, she was tempted to lunge at Victoria and destroy her face.Her bewitching looks were the weapon she used to seduce Benjamin.Colette went green with envy. She was all the more displeased with Cindy, who screwed up her plan.If she had disfigured Victoria's face with the acid, none of this would have happened.Jeff, too, that usel
