Chapter 755 Surprise
Dmmit! Why is it Victoria again? What an unlucky day! I can’t believe I have to deal with the same
nuisance twice in a row! Mnie red at Victoria.
Seeing Mnie standing perfectly still like a log. Victoria shoved the former’s shoulder and snapped,
“I’m asking you a question. Are you deaf?”
Furiously, Mnie brushed the spot on her shoulder where Victoria just touched and red at thetter
with disdain. “You don’t own this restaurant, so what right do you have to obstruct me from demanding
compensation, huh? Don’t you think you should mind your own business, Ms. Lesley?”
In response, Victoria stuffed a bank card into the manager’s suit pocket. “I’m buying this restaurant.”
Mnie’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she opened her mouth in shock. Humiliated and
exasperated, she eximed, “You’re insane! Do you think just because you’re rich that-
Without warning, Victoria gave Mnie a hard and ruthless p across the face, which startled
everyone.
Shaking her painful hand, she produced a fewrge banknotes from her wallet and hurled them at
Mnie’s face haughtily. “This is thepensation for your injury and the restaurant’s failure to notify
the cancetion of your booking. Also, you should use the money to get a doctor to tighten the loose
screw in your head. You should know who you shouldn’t offend and what you shouldn’t say.”
Mnie was livid, for she had never been humiliated to that extent before. “You’re such a bully,
Victoria! I’m going to beat you up!”
In response, Victoria rolled up her sleeve. “Bring it on, then! Today, I’ll pummel you until you kneel
before me and admit defeat!”
She couldn’t care less about her image when she finally had the chance to take revenge on Mnie for
destroying her masterpiece.
“Don’t act rashly, Victoria.” Christina and Hera held Victoria back while the restaurant manager and
employees blocked Mnie’s path.
The scene became noisy and chaotic as everyone tried to calm the two angry women down.
“She was asking for a beating, Christina!” Victoria gritted her teeth. “If I don’t teach her a lesson today,
she’ll piss on our heads one day!”
“You were the one who was being unreasonable, Victoria! You don’t have the right to nder me!”
Mnie’s eyes turned bloodshot out of anger as she looked at Christina and said mockingly, “Don’t you
know? You treated your beloved junior sincerely, yet she helped your nemesis, Emilia, escape behind
your back.”
Taken aback, Christina nced at Victoria. Thetter panicked and averted her line of sight before
glowering at Mnie. “I’m going to tear your face into pieces if you continue spouting nonsense!”
Breaking free from the employees’ grasp, Mnie tidied her shirt and sneered, “I’m not. She’ll know it’s
true once she investigates the matter. I’ll consider myself unlucky and let the matter slide today, but I
won’t let you off that easily next time!”
She left after shooting Victoria onest re
Bewildered, the restaurant manager held Victoria’s bank card and asked, “Are you still buying the
restaurant, Ms. Lesley?”
Silently, Christina returned to her seat. Victoria couldn’t be bothered to deal with the manager and
simply said, “Yes. Just swipe the card, and don’t bother me.”
Hera was puzzled, for she didn’t know who Emilia was or what was the story behind it all.
Christina perused the menu expressionlessly in her seat. “I’m hungry. Let’s order some food.”
Victoria wanted to say something but decided against it in the end. Just like that, the three women
finished the meal with their minds upied by each of their own thoughts.
Hera could sense something was going on between Victoria and Christina. As an outsider, she didn’t
feel it was appropriate to stick her nose into their affair. Hence, she came up with an excuse and left
after dinner.
Afterward, Victoria drove Christina back to Scenic Garden Manor. On the way back, Christina didn’t ask
Victoria any questions, which made thetter on edge. Finally, when the vehicle pulled into the
courtyard of Scenic Garden Manor, she couldn’t hold it in any longer.
“Don’t you have anything you want to ask me, Christina?” asked Victoria as she locked the car and
faced Christina.
Christina raised her eyes. “I do, but I’m waiting for you to tell me about it.” I thought about it for a long
while. While I hesitated whether to believe Mnie’s words, Victoria’s behavior just now told me
everything I needed to know.
“Mnie was telling the truth. Emilia met me some time ago. She demanded I create a fake identity for
her and send her overseas safely. She had dirt on me. Lewd pictures of me with someone else at a
gathering back when I was studying overseas.” A sigh escaped Victoria’s lips. “If I had rejected her
request, she would’ve posted the pictures online. I wasn’t afraid of it happening, but back then, my
rtionship with Sebastian had just stabilized. I… was afraid he’d look at me differently if he saw those
photos.”
Her eyes reddened as she spoke while choking back tears. “I know I shouldn’t have done that or hid
the truth from you, but I had no other choice, Christina. I can’t lose Sebastian.“
Humans had a selfish nature. No matter how strong the bond between Christina and Victoria was, the
latter still couldn’t sacrifice her happiness for Christina’s sake.
Coldly, Christina questioned, “If Mnie didn’t bring up this matter, were you nning to hide it from
me for the rest of your life!”
Victoria nodded before quickly shaking her head. “I’m sorry, Christina. I didn’t want to.”
Christina remainedpletely silent as Victoria’s sorrowful sobs echoed in the car. A whileter,
Christina said, “What else did Emilia ask you to do?”
Victoria blinked guiltily, pursing her lips as she hesitated to speak the truth.
Christina pushed the car door and demanded. “Unlock the door!”
Panicking, Victoria seized her senior’s arm. Tll tell you Christina! Don’t get angry

Paling Victoria wred Emilia already knows that Winston possesses the evidence from yours
ago.
“How dare you disclose that information to Emilia!” Christina’s chest ached from anger as she panted
heavily.
Pain was also radiating from her abdomen.
Victoria submissively epted Christina’s admonishment. “I don’t know what method she used to
obtain it. By the time I learned of the news, she already had it.”
Christina’s voice trembled. “Even then, you didn’t reveal the matter to me. You even created a fake
identity for her and sent her out of the country to lie low!”
Victoria nodded and repeated, “I’m sorry..
Wearily, Christina closed her eyes. When she opened them again, a frosty look was swirling within. “I’m
so disappointed in you, Victoria.”
Victoria clenched her fists. “I’m sorry, Christina!”
Sighing, Christina waved her hand. “Forget about it. I don’t me you. After all, we’re just friends. You
don’t need to sacrifice your happiness for my sake.”
“Your choice isn’t incorrect, Victoria,” she stated softly. “Unlock the door.”
While Victoria wished to exin further, Christina’s cold attitude made her feel ashamed. Hastily, she
unlocked the door and watched Christina leave with teary eyes.
In a daze, Christina entered the mansion. Suddenly, Raymond rushed toward her with a grim
expression. “Mr. Hadley is injured, Mrs. Hadley. He’s resting upstairs. You should go and take a look.”N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
