Jackalyn had a vicious glint in her eyes. She barked with intense hatred, "How dare you!"Seeing that the situation was not in their favor, Silas immediately stood before Victoria.However, Victoria didn't seem scared or worried in the least. Instead, she nudged him aside. Flicking her hair, she stared at Jackalyn like she was looking at a fool.Jackalyn hit the roof. Pointing at Victoria, she wanted to instruct Sebastian to finish her off.But she was outraged, and no words came out of her open mouth. Her body felt stiff and was trembling all over.She looked like she would pass out anytime. Victoria noticed that and burst out laughing."Who told you I sneaked out? Are you stupid? How could I have found this place if I had to move stealthily?"Still smiling, she looked at Sebastian meaningfully. "Will you kill me, Mr. Veron?"He noticed she looked unperturbed, and her pretty eyes were like two glimmering pools of water.He smiled and shook his head. "No, I won't. You're the d

After Victoria fled the scene, she waited near the door. Sebastian casually strode out from the main entrance before long.He walked swiftly, but the hem of his shirt was still. He carried himself like a true nobleman. As the wind played with his hair, his dashing features looked gentle and compassionate.Victoria occasionally watched period dramas. After meeting Sebastian, she now thought the male leads' bearings in those dramas were just as awful as those in cringy action movies.He was a perfect gentleman, second to none. She would never believe he was wicked like Jackalyn, who deserved the worst kind of death. The face was the index of the mind, and he didn't look like a villain."That was fast, Mr. Veron." Victoria was in a good mood. She had just beaten up someone she had longed to beat and vented her resentment.When she saw him, she walked out with Silas following behind.Sebastian pointed at the carriage. Smiling, he gestured for her to go first. His smile was mesmerizin

Victoria looked at Silas. "Who told you I want to be the chieftess? I wasn't referring to myself. I'm just an imposter. I'm talking about Ms. Frost. She's a woman, right?"Anyhow, we can't let Jackalyn get what she wants. Otherwise, Ms. Frost will have a tough time here. As for what happened last night …"She pointed at him warningly, "Don't tell Ms. Frost about it."He chuckled. "Do I get a reward for not telling?"She retracted her finger and waved her fist at him.Silas said, "You must tell me when you visit the Chadler family. And …"He looked left and right before leaning closer. He whispered, "Take me with you when you leave this place.""Isn't this your hometown? Don't you like it here?"Running his fingers through his hair, he tilted his chin upward. He struck a pose that he thought looked cool."I'm used to the indulgent lifestyle outside and don't like it here. It's still the Hughes clan, but things have changed."In the outside world, he could avoid conflicts and s

Wendy knew at once Victoria was going to wreak havoc when she saw the arrogant act she was putting on.Things were getting interesting. Splendid!Solomon's temper flared when he saw her behaving that way. "You know best what you did last night!"Are you heading out? I thought you were sick! How dare you leave me hanging for the whole day?"He was seething with rage, so much so that even his breathing grew rapid.He came in the morning and had been waiting until now. If he hadn't barged in, he wouldn't even have seen her in person.To think they had the audacity to lie and treat him without respect! They weren't taking him seriously.Feeling like a fool, he thought they had challenged his inviolable authority."Do you think you'll be able to escape from me?" He snarled.Victoria took in his pompous behavior. She stepped forward into the main building with her arms crossed and looked at him condescendingly."I was sick, but I'm fine now after sleeping through the day. Do you ha

Lena nodded at Victoria. "That's right. That's what I taught you."She turned to Solomon, and her gentle expression became a stern one. "Why did you hit Vicky?"Solomon remembered Jackalyn telling him not to let others know about what had happened last night and cause a stir."I hit her? She's fine and dandy! Look what she did to me."It's your scheme, isn't it? You're trying to kill me so that you're the only legitimate descendants left. No one can compete with you then, right?""You should watch what you say, Mr. Hughes," Sebastian said calmly but with a hint of warning.Victoria hugged Lena's arm. Pointing at Solomon, she accused, "He keeps saying that I hit his mother last night and wants me to beg her for mercy."I've barely been here for a few days and know no one. Why would I go to Jackalyn and beat her up in the middle of the night?"You're just putting the blame on me. You must feel that we're a threat to you after we arrived and are now trying to smear our reputation!
