Victoria wanted to wake up. However, it was as if someone had sewn her eyes shut. She could not open them at all.She repeatedly told herself this was just a dream and would never happen again. Nevertheless, Victoria was still afraid. It was an uncontrollable fear. Benjamin sat beside the bed and gently held Victoria's hand. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Don't be scared," he awkwardly reassured her. However, it seemed like Victoria could not hear what Benjamin said. She remained in distress. Benjamin frowned, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He was mad at the Jameson family. He patted Victoria's face, yelling, "Wake up, Victoria! Wake up now!"With a loud rumble, thunder started up again. Suddenly, Victoria, who was sleeping, grabbed Benjamin's hand and opened her eyes. She looked at him. Her face was pale, her gaze blank. At the same time, tears welled up and streamed down from the corner of her eyes. Right then, Victoria appeared like a fragile porcelain d

The situation that happened at Colette's birthday banquet continued to escalate. Everyone was interested in it. Removing the trending topics made everyone even more curious. People's excitement was through the roof in just a short amount of time.More than half of the reporters in Danube City attended the press conference. Colette was worried that Yves might interfere with her plan because of Victoria. Hence, she chose to broadcast the event live. At 2:30 pm, it was approximately half an hour before the press conference began. Reporters crowded the venue. Meanwhile, there were nearly a million viewers on the live broadcast. Around 3:00 pm, Roman, Colette, and Ginny were escorted into the venue by their bodyguards. All of them looked haggard and sad. It was as if they had suffered a major blow. They looked visibly distressed, especially Colette, whose face was ashen. She looked like she had just recovered from severe sickness. Even on camera, people could see the fingerpr

Yves looked at the confident Victoria. "You'll handle it yourself? How? Have you come up with a plan?"She gently nodded in response. "Yes.""What's the plan you have in mind?" Yves asked with curiosity. However, Victoria merely smiled in response. "It's a secret for now. You'll find out soon."Upon hearing her words, Yves glanced at Benjamin, who remained silent. "Mrs. B, have you read the comments online?" asked Yves. Victoria turned around and sat on the living room's couch. She appeared calm while answering, "I've watched the video, but I haven't had the chance to read any of the comments."However, I don't have to read them to know what they're saying. It's pretty much the same."Yves followed behind her. He seethed with indignation at the thought of the viral news. "I truly wonder what goes on in those people's heads. If Roman and Ginny loved and cared for you as a daughter, they wouldn't have held a press conference," he snarled. He continued grumbling, "Why wou

The day after the episode of "My Child" was aired, calls for Victoria to be kicked out of Brighton Women's College trended on Twitter.The students from class one took the lead, even penning a petition that spanned a few thousand words.In the petition, they accused Victoria of her corrupted morals and called for the school to expel her and save their reputation. The petition was signed by hundreds of students.Soon after that, someone posted the video of Victoria arguing with a teacher on the first day of school online. She was labeled as haughty and disrespectful.The netizens who had nothing better to do with their lives even went as far as comparing Yves' voice to the male voice in Colette's live call. They concluded that those were two different individuals.This led to a wave of online attacks, with some labeling Victoria as promiscuous.Some even supported Colette in her pursuit of true love, arguing that she would not be stealing Victoria's man. Instead, she'd be saving h

Benjamin turned to Yves and instructed, "Please take care of that."Yves grunted and marched to confront the hospital director and his staff. For four whole hours, he was left tortured with worry.Four hours! Not one of the staff had bothered to inform him about the situation.Benjamin turned around to Victoria and assured her, "Don't worry. Yves and I own this private hospital. They will be tight-lipped."Feeling reassured, she rested her cheek in her hand and stared at him with admiration."You own Velvet Haven and now a private hospital. I am envious of your assets."He smiled but remained serious as he replied, "You can have them any time you want."She seemed to have missed his point, but her admiration only grew. He was so rich that he wouldn't mind one bit if he had to give some of his assets away. If it was Victoria, she wouldn't have been so generous with her properties.She decided to stay on Benjamin's good side and follow in his investment footsteps so that she'd be
