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
"Here's fifty million dollars. Get me out of here." They were on a mountain road by the river. The cold wind was chilling to the bone. Victoria Jameson was seated inside a black sedan. She was staring motionlessly at a man through her rearview mirror. Covered in blood, he had barged into her car and sat in the backseat. "What's the matter? Is that too little?" His sharp voice was cold, with a hint of impatience. "I can't drive. The car has a flat tire." Victoria looked at the man briefly before shifting her gaze. From the moment he got into the car, she could smell the metallic taste of blood on him … and an aphrodisiac! The man did not speak. Only the sound of his ragged breathing echoed in the car. The veins on the back of his hands and forehead bulged as he tried to restrain the desire within him. "One hundred million dollars." The man's voice sounded hoarse. It appeared to be growing weaker as well. Before Victoria could reply, she noticed eight men in black appro
In the living room of Jameson Manor, Ginny Warde stared at Victoria in disdain. "Victoria, even if you are not educated, don't you have basic manners? Are you dumb? Don't you know how to greet your elders? Look at what you're wearing. Even beggars dress more decently than you!" Victoria was dressed in a black hoodie and ripped jeans. With one hand in her pocket, she laughed mockingly. "No one taught me manners. It is expected, I suppose, considering how my own parents didn't care about me!" Ginny stood up in anger, but Colette held her back. "Mom!" Colette sized Victoria up. She found herself pondering how the once scrawny girl from the countryside had blossomed into such a beauty.Her skin was fair, and she had well-defined features. In addition, her eyes were crystal clear. Victoria was objectively more beautiful than her. She must have undergone plastic surgery! Colette felt envious of Victoria, so much so that she wished to scar Victoria's pretty face. Despite this, sh
Colette stood up from the sofa and pointed at Victoria indignantly. "Victoria, what is the meaning of this? You agreed to call off the engagement and allowed Mom to arrange for everything. "Now, you're going back on your word! How do you expect Mom to explain this to Ms. Harper? You are deliberately making a fool out of her!" Hearing Colette's words, Ginny was outraged. "Marriage is a serious matter and requires blessings from both parents. You have no right to go against our wishes! "Did you believe your grandmother arranged this engagement because she likes you? She did it for my sake! She acted impulsively back then and has regretted her decision for years. "She also felt sorry for Zachary. However, she was too embarrassed to go back on her word. Breaking off this engagement is both my decision and hers. "Whether you agree or not, the engagement will be called off today. Apologize to Ms. Harper this instant and hand over the token. Otherwise, I will disown you!" Sneering
"How dare you!" Ginny tore up the photos. She snatched the photos from the others except for Benjamin. She didn't dare to touch him. Ginny shredded the pictures and threw the pieces on the floor. "Let's see how you can publish them now!" Victoria stared at Ginny, who seemed to have gone mad. "I have plenty of photos. You can tear all you want. If it's not enough, I'll have someone send more over!" Rushing up to Victoria, Ginny pointed at her with reddened eyes. "Don't you know that doing this will ruin Lettie? If you dare to do that, don't ever expect me to acknowledge you …" "Shut the hell up!" Victoria interrupted Ginny. She jeered, "Mrs. Jameson, you are overestimating yourself. When did I ever say that I want to be your daughter? "I have no interest in being your daughter whatsoever! Before I came here, I prepared hundreds of copies of these photos. Those photos will be shared with major newspapers and online if something goes wrong here."If you keep bothering me, the whole
Zachary's face was crimson with anger. He pointed to the door. "You want money, right? I'll give you one hundred million dollars. Get out of my house right now!" Victoria shook her head and extended two fingers. "Two hundred million." Zachary roared, "Why two hundred million now? Have you gone crazy?" Victoria smiled. "You got me to fight just now. There's no free lunch in this world." Her market price for a fight was one hundred million dollars. "You attacked us! It wasn't a fair fight!" the bodyguards complained. "It's because all of you suck at fighting and deserve a good beating!" Victoria retorted. Zachary's anger caused his veins to pop out. "I'll give you 500 thousand dollars first. I'll give you the rest in a week." "500 thousand dollars? Are you trying to insult me? No, you have to give me at least fifty million. Otherwise, I'll stay right here at your house and not budge an inch!" Nicole's head throbbed with pain. She turned to Benjamin. "Ben, are you going to
The luxurious car was spacious. There was a divider between the backseat and the driver's cabin.Victoria sat beside Benjamin.She assumed that someone like Benjamin wouldn't like talkative people. So, she did not say anything.In the silence, her phone suddenly vibrated. Victoria glanced at the caller ID and ignored the call.Soon, her phone rang again, so she silenced it."You can take that call."Victoria put down her phone and looked at Benjamin. "I don't want to. Some people are snowflakes. I don't want to end up having blood on my hands," she joked.Just like that, Benjamin knew the call was from Ginny.Victoria observed the upscale restaurant with a bird's-eye view to the city.Typically, this was the kind of place where couples come for dates. Why would Benjamin like this place? Plus, it was probably expensive to eat here. Victoria followed Benjamin into a private room, feeling sorry for her wallet.Courteously, Benjamin pulled out her chair for her.Then, he sat d
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
