Chapter 36
“You should leave your medicine for yourself, Miss Spritz.” With a disgruntled expression, Victoria
stuffed the ointment back into Be’s hand.
Every word from Be was hurting her badly.
“Why don’t you u-use the medicine I’m giving you?” Be said bitterly, the ointment in her hands. “Is it
because you love Christian, but he loves me? Is that why you’re jealous of me? Is your one-sided love
for Christian stronger than our ten years of friendship?”
“You’re really good at reversing the truth, Be!” Victoria clenched her fists and said while grinding her
teeth.
Be was the one who framed her, but she was also the one who was acting pitiful. How can someone
be so shameless?
“I’m just stating the facts.” Be sighed before saying softly, “Victoria, Christian didn’t like you when you
had no scar on your head and were all dressed up two years ago. Do you think he will now?”
She held Victoria’s hand. “I’m the one he’ll always love. It’ll be a waste of your energy for you to keep
hounding here. I’m giving you a piece of advice as your friend here—stop daydreaming. Don’t dream of
being a white swan when you’re just a little duckling. You’ll beughed at.”
After saying that, she stuffed the ointment into Victoria’s hand.
“I said that I don’t need your ointment!” Victoria squeezed every word from her throat and threw the
ointment onto the ground in front of Be.
Then, she bent down and propped both of her hands on Be’s wheelchair before saying word by
word, “I admit that I can’t win an argument against you, but remember this, Be Spritz—someone will
know your true colors one day!”
“What are you doing, Victoria?!” Just then, Lucas and his client got off the elevator, and his expression
changed immediately when he saw Victoria’s hostile posture.
“Calm down, Victoria!” Be’s tears came out so quickly as she shouted while choking up, “So what if
you beat me up and force me to say that I’ll give up Christian to you? He doesn’t even like you!”
This scene was so dramatic that it left Victoria stunned for a moment before she reacted.
She looked at Lucas, who was running in her direction frantically. Before she could exin, the man
pushed her away. “Stay away from Be!”
He used so much strength that it made her stumble a few steps back, and her body knocked against
the corner of the wall painfully.
“How are you? Are you hurt?” Lucas checked on Be and asked her worriedly.
While biting her lip, Be shook her head and said pitifully, “I’m fine, Lucas. Don’t me Victoria. She
was just not in her right mind for a second.”
“You’re saying that you’re fine when you’re crying?” When he looked at her reddened eyes, he was
furious and felt bad for her.
Looking at this scene unfolding from the side, Victoria suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu. Right!
At the banquet a few days ago, Mrs. Spritz pushed me away and shouted at me too. What did I do?
“I’m really fine, Lucas. Don’t me Victoria.” Be tugged on Lucas’ sleeve and forced a smile. “It’s not
easy for her to be a janitor at the club.”
“Not easy? She should pay the price if she wants to stay here and get back into the circle.” He looked
at Victoria coldly, his eyes full of disgust.
Victoria opened her mouth, wanting to exin, but in the end, she justughed at herself. When has
someone ever believed me every time I had a conflict with Be? Not to mention that Lucas is her
biological brother.

“I’m really fine, Lucas. Don’t be so impulsive.” Be was so anxious that she was going to cry. “Let’s
go.”
“Wait. She needs to be punished for doing something wrong.” He took out his handkerchief to wipe her
tears off. The darkness in his eyes was obscure. “I will never let her bully you again.”
Back then, Be took the initiative to be friends with Victoria just to help him pursue her. In the end, he
caused her to lose her leg… He was guilty of that.
“Lucas, you arrived just in time. Victoria hasn’t done anything yet, but you… Anyway, I don’t me her,
so don’t interfere!” Be said hastily with her face full of worry.
When Victoria saw Be’s superb acting, she knew that she could never do that, finding it ironic.
Christian and Lucas were both talented rookies in the business industry. People in the business
industry, the media, and the public praised them for being smart and shrewd, praising them for being
geniuses in business. Even though her father had been running the mall for so many years, many said
that he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing and had many dirty tricks in mind.
However, these people who were beingplimented for their smarts were the ones who believed in
Be’s nonsense again and again. Instead, her deadbeat brother, who was said to be always doing
nothing, believed her every time… How hrious!
“Kneel down and apologize, or I’ll ask Mr. Thatcher to chase you out. Choose for yourself.” Lucas didn’t
bother with Be anymore and looked straight at Victoria.
“Kneeling? Again?” Victoria smiled. Why does everyone like to step on me sinceing to Delta Club?
She looked at the brother of her best friend, who she thought was righteous, and kneeled down slowly.
I was just blind and not good at judging people. “I’m sorry, Miss Spritz.”
When Lucas saw that, a stream of disappointment shed in his eyes. His face was dark as he said,
“You’re hopeless!”
She could throw her dignity away just to stay in Delta Club and continue such an intoxicating life. Why
did I love such a woman so madly back in the day?
“The bruises on her legs might not have recovered yet. Don’t let her kneel for long, Lucas.” Be stood
on Victoria’s side and emphasized the words ‘for long’.
The more she acted this way, the more Lucas felt sorry for her. “You always get hurt and don’t
remember it. You’ll suffer in the future.” As he spoke, he pushed the wheelchair and walked in the
direction of the private room he had already booked.
At this moment, Be turned around and saw that Victoria had already stood up. She was a little
disappointed by that, for she thought that Lucas would make her kneel for half a day just like the other
day… Too bad.
After Victoria saw the siblings disappear at the door of the private room, she looked down and stood
there for a moment before she continued cleaning while enduring the burning pain in her back and
face.
She was working the night shift today, so when she finished work, it was already 2.00AM.
Daisy was not in the dorm, and she was probably staying outside with a customer.
On the other hand, Gabrielle was removing her makeup in front of the mirror. When she saw that
Victoria came back, she eximed, “Did someone really hit you?”
Hearing that, Victoria gave her a small hum of acknowledgement in exhaustion. She sat on the bed and
was so tired that she didn’t want to move at all.
“I heard that Glen Coleman hit you, and he’s your… father?” Gabrielle went up to her and felt the pain
just by looking at the p mark on her face.
The corner of her mouth was scraped, and her face was very badly swollen. How much strength did he
use in this p?
“No.” Victoria paused for a moment. Her eyes drooped as she said, “He’s not my father.”
“I thought so too! If you’re really his daughter, how would he let you be a janitor in this kind
ofnovelxo fast update ce and even hit you? Those people are just talking nonsense. They have
too much time on their hands!” Gabrielle was quite careful when talking about this just now, but when
she heard what Victoria said, she became more at ease as she talked.
However, Victoria didn’t reply to her. Instead, she looked down and stared at her hands, which were
turning rougher ever since she became a janitor. At this moment, she felt a little sore in her chest
