On the day of the foal's tenth-day celebration banquet, Wendy woke Victoria up.After spending a long time getting ready, Wendy looked at Victoria through the mirror. Wendy's eyes shined."Victoria, you'll be the most beautiful woman there. You'll definitely outshine Roxy."What?Victoria frowned and took off the heavy gold jewelry on her head.She rubbed her neck and said, "That's so heavy! It's too heavy. I can't wear that. My neck is already aching from the weight."Victoria could feel a headache coming at the thought of wearing such heavy jewelry for the whole day.Wendy did not see anything wrong with the situation. "It looks good. The gold jewelry makes you look wealthy.""What would you think if you saw a girl attending a banquet with a head full of gold jewelry?""I would think it's a waste of money. It would also make her look unsophisticated and ugly."Wendy immediately continued, "However, commoners clothing would not be suitable for such gold jewelry."The women

The tour took around half an hour."Other people's paddocks are just plain and simple. Not only does my paddock have a race track, but it also comes with an archery range and a football field."You can carry out every activity you can think of here. There are a few mountains behind the paddock. They also belong to my family."During spring or autumn, we can go hunting. Right now, we can go and pick fruits."The scenery is also beautiful. Those dignitaries in the Hughes clan like to come to my place often to play around."Wendy marveled at the place. "No wonder Mr. Chadler's so wealthy. You and your family are amazing!"Wendy sincerely gave Asher a thumbs up. Her expression shined with genuine respect."The fact that the paddock is well received in the Hughes clan definitely has something to do with Mr. Chadler's greatness. Your paddock is large and beautiful. It's also unique."No to mention these buggies. The Hughes clan also uses carriages, yet you have gold buggies in your p

By the time Victoria returned to the manor in the paddock, all the guests had arrived.The men and women were all talking within their gender groups. However, there were also a few men and women talking to each other.Everyone stood by the gazebo outside and chatted happily. Even with the distance between Victoria and the group of people, she could hear the sound of a woman laughing shyly.In the largest gazebo, everyone seemed to be surrounding one person.The Hughes clan was much more conservative compared to the outside world, especially when it came to the relationship between men and women.During the war in the Renaissance period, there were many arguments and debates between the different cultures and philosophers. Cultures were also much more progressive and open-minded.The Hughes clan managed to evolve over the years. As long as it wasn't anything extreme, it was socially acceptable for a man and a woman to interact.However, all the daughters from noble families cared

Roxy's voice was stern at the mention of justice. Her eyes were cold.She had lived in the shadows of the Holy Maiden all her life. She would not allow an illegitimate child to outrank her.She would ensure Victoria would never be able to raise her head in front of her.Victoria wanted to choose a husband? To marry into a noble family?Dream on!Roxy would make sure that no one would want to marry Victoria. She would turn Victoria into a joke and make her Lena's biggest embarrassment!Vanessa lay on the floor. Her head felt heavy, but she was still conscious.She heard Roxy's words and turned around. "Roxy, you—"The second Vanessa tried to speak, her face flared up with pain. She gritted her teeth and did not dare to speak.Her face was unrecognizable. She could only express herself through her eyes. They seemed to look aggrieved and incriminating.Janice used her hands to cover her cheeks. She sobbed and said, "Ms. Bennett, may … may I say something?"You are also a lady.

Roxy frowned as she looked at Victoria."They already understand that they are in the wrong. Considering it's their first time committing such an offense, could Ms. Victoria show them some mercy?"Especially since Vanessa is already disfigured from that beating. I'm sure Ms. Victoria has already vented her anger by now."Forget Janice. Everyone knew Vanessa was her friend.The Bennett family also had a close relationship with the Ives family.Victoria had punished Vanessa because of her. Victoria even wanted to drag the Ives family into the mess. Wasn't Victoria just blatantly disrespecting her family and her?"No!"Victoria rejected her suggestion firmly.Roxy was furious after being publicly rejected. She said coldly, "Ms. Victoria, you've only returned to the Hughes clan not long ago. You should not make everyone your enemy."Victoria raised her eyebrow and chuckled. She said casually, "Are you threatening me?"Before today, Victoria had never crossed paths with Roxy. She
