Wonder Wife Chapter 7 I Want The House Beside Hers
Benjamin stared at her as she turned to leave. "Did I say I wouldn't help you?"Victoria looked at him in surprise.He raised an eyebrow and smiled. "You youngsters are always so rash and impatient."Victoria snorted, slightly offended. "I don't like people lecturing me."Ginny had given her enough lectures to last a lifetime.Benjamin laughed. "What if I told you I'll help you, and you can keep the house and all the money?""Are you serious?" Victoria turned back to him, her eyes shining.Benjamin leaned back in his chair while holding his glass and nodded.Delighted, Victoria sat back down.She sat in perfect posture, back straight and hands folded across her lap. "I definitely don't mind you lecturing me, then. Go on, Mr. Harper. What other advice do you have for me?"Benjamin couldn't help but laugh. He was surprised by his own laughter.When he fell silent, Victoria said, "You're right, Mr. Harper. I know I have a hot temper and tend to act rashly, but I promise I won't
Wonder Wife Chapter 8 Do You Think He Really Has Sexual Dysfunction
The first thing Victoria did when she got home was change into comfortable clothes. By the time she settled down, the sky was dark outside.She took out her phone from her bag.It had run out of battery at some point and turned off automatically.She plugged it in.As soon as she turned on the phone, it began vibrating relentlessly.She had several missed calls. Most of them were from Colette. There were some text messages too.Victoria didn't need to open them to know what they had sent her. Uninterested, she put down her phone and flopped onto the sofa, turning on the TV.Not long after, her phone began ringing.Victoria glanced at the caller ID. She smiled before picking up. She put the call on speakerphone. "Mr. Langley, to what do I owe this honor?"Louis Langley sounded amused. "I heard you profited quite a bit today."Victoria laughed when she realized what he was referring to. "Not bad, really. You should have seen how the two of them reacted. I'm still gleeful just
Wonder Wife Chapter 9 Who Are You to Order Me
Victoria had her lunch at home on New Year's Day. She took a long nap before taking a cab to the Jameson Manor.All of Roman's relatives were gathered in the living room.Mrs. Jameson Senior sat at the center, with Colette on her left. Though she said nothing, she made it clear that she did not like Victoria. Her favorite grandson sat to her right.Roman's two younger sisters, his sister-in-law, and their children were also present. It was quite a crowd. There weren't even enough seats on the couch.Mrs. Jameson Senior put on a bossy front, and the others acted all haughty, as though it was their house. A smirk crept up Victoria's lips at the sight before her.She was sure that Ginny would be annoyed."Don't you know your manners, Victoria? Do you not know you're supposed to greet your elders when you meet them?"It was Cindy Lyle, Roman's niece. She was two years older than Victoria. She was also a student at Brighton Women's College. Cindy was Colette's sidekick.After Cind
Wonder Wife Chapter 10 Going to Brighton
Victoria looked at Colette, who was looking at her in anticipation. "I'll consider it."Ginny slammed her cutlery on the table. "What do you mean you'll consider it? Had it not been for me, do you think Brighton would ever accept a student like you? They're the ones who should be considering whether to accept you!"Lindsey laughed in a sardonic tone and said, "Look at the special treatment the biological daughter gets. She didn't even attend school and was accepted into Brighton effortlessly."Lindsey had begged Ginny so many times before to help get Cindy into Brighton. Ginny had turned her down many times. Because of that, Lindsey had to act all deferential to Ginny for an extended period. Thinking about it now still pissed her off to no end.Roman shot Lindsey a sharp glare. "Shut up!"He then turned to look at Victoria and said gently, "Why don't you want to go there? Brighton is one of the top women's colleges in the nation. Your mother and I would never do anything that wo
Wonder Wife Chapter 11 Hanging Up on Mr. Harper Again
Victoria was lucky to get a cab soon after leaving the Jameson Manor. By the time she got back to Zion Estate, it was almost 9:00 pm.She showered and changed into a comfortable set of clothes. Then, she poured herself a glass of red wine and sat down on a cushion in front of the full-length window.The night view in Danube City was beautiful. As it was New Year's Day, bright lights lit up the entire city. There were even people setting off fireworks. It was a lively sight. Victoria sipped on the wine and set her glass down. Then, she tapped the WhatsApp icon on her phone and sent a message to Benjamin."Happy New Year, Mr. Harper!" She even added several smiley emojis at the end of the message.After visiting the Jamesons' today, she realized the value of Benjamin Harper's name. She reminded herself to hold on to him tightly and never let go of him.And if she were to do that, how could she possibly forget to send him festive greetings? She needed to make him feel like she
Wonder Wife Chapter 12 If Only You Were My Father
Victoria smiled. "Well, if you're so worried, why don't you personally send her to school?"Ginny scoffed. "Don't think I don't know what tricks you have in store. You'd better not think about them. Colette is my only daughter, and I'll never—"Victoria had stayed up late the previous night, so she slept without charging her phone.The call was disconnected before Ginny could complete her sentence. Victoria's phone had gone dead.Ginny heard the beeping sound on her phone. She thought that it was Victoria who had cut off the call. Her expression darkened.She wasn't even done speaking, and Victoria had ended the call. How could such a rude person be her daughter? She would never let anyone know that she had such a daughter.Victoria felt somewhat disappointed when she saw the black screen on her phone. She hadn't even insulted her back yet. Ginny had lucked out.Victoria went and charged her phone. Then, she went out with the bank cards Roman had given her.Based on what a calc
Wonder Wife Chapter 13 Immoral Brighton
When Victoria arrived at the college, Colette was waiting for her by the doors with Cindy by her side.Cindy wasn't particularly good-looking. She was tall, awkward, and inelegant. Compared to her, Colette was like a goddess.Colette was popular with everyone in college. Most students and parents stopped to greet her when they saw her.When Colette saw her, she excused herself from the crowd and went up to her. "Victoria, my sister!""Sister?" Victoria gave her a dry smile. "Do you really want me to air out our dirty laundry in front of the entire college?"Colette's smile froze.Cindy ran over to them. "Colette is just being gracious, Victoria. Don't be such an ungrateful … Oh my God, what is that on your back? What kind of bag is that? Are you a child? That's hilarious!" Cindy pointed at Victoria's backpack and laughed.Colette also noticed Victoria's bag. When she saw the cartoon printed on it, she said, "You have a pretty unique taste in bags. It suits you."Victoria knew
Wonder Wife Chapter 14 Trouble
No one spoke to Victoria for the rest of the day.Victoria relished in the peace.That evening, Victoria took a tour of the campus before heading home, as she had nothing else to do.As soon as she stepped out of the entrance, a car stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing Colette. "Do you need a ride?"Cindy appeared as well. "Did you not hear Lettie?" she said in a commanding tone. "Get in!""No thanks." Victoria pointed in the direction of Zion Estate. "My house is only a few minutes' walk from here. Drive safe."Cindy scoffed disdainfully. "Your house? You probably rented it. How long are you going to flaunt that tiny fortune of yours?"Victoria adjusted the straps of her backpack. "It's not like I can't buy the house in cash if I like it."After all, she would be getting two hundred million dollars soon.Colette pursed her lips. Her hands were clenched tight on her knees.Meanwhile, Roman had returned home early today.When Colette arrived home, the

Wonder Wife Chapter 604 I'll Give My Life to You
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
Wonder Wife Chapter 603 I'm Yours
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
Wonder Wife Chapter 602 Love Me Love My Dog
"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
Wonder Wife Chapter 601 You're Trying to Threaten Me
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
Wonder Wife Chapter 600 What's Your Motive
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.
Wonder Wife Chapter 599 An Unexpected Encounter With Yves
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
Wonder Wife Chapter 598 The Chosen One
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. "That's over 240 thousa
Wonder Wife Chapter 597 Let's Split the Winnings
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
Wonder Wife Chapter 596 Make Me Fall For Him
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
