She would often play dead to avoid being shot at. Yves suddenly felt that he and Wendy lived in different worlds."Do you have to play dead often?"Wendy blinked. "Yes. There were a few times. Why else would Victoria catch me in the act so easily?"During normal circumstances, playing dead is not needed. However, during special circumstances, protecting your own life is more important."Yves looked at the group of men on the ground. There were more than a hundred of them. "Did Mrs. B finish them off alone?"Wendy was slightly annoyed by the parade of questions coming from Yves. However, her anger dissipated whenever she thought about the card with no credit limit.Her voice was soft as she explained patiently, "No. Me and Victoria finished them off together. They're a bunch of weaklings."Normally, Victoria would be able to handle it alone. But it has been a while since she fought, so she's a bit out of practice."I wanted to see her eyes being filled with bloodlust. Too bad th

Benjamin's expression was terrifying.Victoria blinked. "Benjamin, there seems to be something wrong with you."Benjamin was stunned. He frowned as his irritation increased.Victoria looked at Benjamin. He was an extremely difficult man to comfort. Why did such a difficult man exist?However, she still had to comfort him, no matter how hard it was.Victoria's brain began to wrack for ideas. She quickly thought of 108 ways to comfort him.Benjamin turned his back to Victoria as he looked out the window.He finally turned around after a while.The second he turned, Victoria hugged him.His body tensed as he looked at Victoria. Victoria was smiling brightly at him."Benjamin, what were you thinking? Are you jealous? Are you worried I'll run off with someone else, making you the laughingstock of Youngville?"Benjamin's gaze sharpened. "Do I look like I care about what other people think of me?"Of course, he did. If he didn't, why would he spend so much effort to marry her? To

Victoria had just ended her call with Colette when Yves called her.He asked worriedly, "Mrs. B, is Ben with you? Are you both alright?"Victoria was slightly peeved at the thought of how much energy she had spent to make Benjamin happy. She even had to call him hubby."Yves, aren't you on my side? Why didn't you tell me that you and Benjamin were planning to go to the arena?"Yves explained, "Mrs. B, I'm being wrongly accused here. We went there to catch those suspicious guys. I didn't know you would be there."It's my fault. Next time, no matter where we're going, I'll make sure to tell you."Is Ben furious? He just cares too much about you. He's afraid you'll leave him for another man."Just go and comfort him, and he'll be alright. Don't mind him. He's just a jealous man."Yves was testing the water with his last words.Ever since Benjamin overheard Victoria and Ethan on a call, he had been an emotional wreck. Yves had been worried.Victoria recalled Benjamin's furious ex

Benjamin thought about it and retyped his message. Benjamin: "Thank you for your care, Ms. Frost. With Vicky here, I'm much better now. I'll add someone in. He'll be sending the Venmo."The Beauty: "Why can't you do it? Why do you need someone to do such a thing for you? Why don't you let someone else care for Victoria if that's the case? You're not sincere. I don't agree to this!"Benjamin: "I need to make money to Venmo you all. Vicky will also be suspicious if I'm always on my phone. I'll also take note of what goes on. If all of you need anything, my friend can help."Wendy: "Benjamin is right. If he doesn't make money, how will we receive any money? Victoria will also have to live a poor life with him. Benjamin was thinking of the bigger picture! Amazing!"A few courageous souls also followed Wendy and tried to persuade Lena.Benjamin called Yves. "I'll add you to a group."Before he could finish, Yves said in shock, "Ben, you created a group? What group? I thought you did

Quinton drove Victoria and Benjamin to where they would be staying.Benjamin set aside the luggage. "I don't like outsiders staying in my home. So, I spent most of my time here. If you think it's too small, we can move to a villa."Victoria changed into the shoes Benjamin had prepared for her. She looked at the spacious living room."Didn't you say you wanted our alone time? This place is enough for the two of us. Why should we move to a villa? Benjamin, can I look around?"Benjamin nodded. "Of course. It's my place. You can go anywhere you want."Victoria looked around and smiled as she looked at Benjamin. She said surely, "Benjamin, the size of this house is just nice. The place is surrounded by mountains and lakes. I can even see a river."The scenic view at night must be magnificent. There's also an empty room that I can use to do whatever I like."Benjamin, you've got taste. I love it here. Let's just stay here. I'll go and take a bath now."Victoria took her clothes and e
