Chapter 56
“Why do you want his forgiveness? He already has someone he fancies and keeps watching me chase
him like I’m a joke. Isn’t he the one who should be apologizing?” Gabrielle asked with a frown.
Victoria was silent.
“And he still treats me as a backup? He’s already lucky that I haven’t called him a scumbag!” Gabrielle
rolled her eyes.
“No.” Victoria licked her dry lips, but her lipstick felt bitter. “If the situation requires you to ask for his
forgiveness, what can you do?”
Gabrielle stared at her with an ever-changing expression, but she said nothing.
“It’s no longer early. I’m going to catch a shower.” When Victoria didn’t get an answer from Gabrielle,
her eyes dimmed as she rose to her feet to grab a cup.
“Can I ask you something first?” Gabrielle slid out from the bed to stop Victoria and refused to wait for
any reply before she continued, “If my guess is not wrong, you had always been pursuing Mr. Thatcher.
Now that he fancies Miss Spritz and you have hurt her, you are worried that you have offended him,
which is why…”
Victoria frowned and reached out to poke Gabrielle. “Stop the guessing. Let me go.”
“If my guess is wrong, how do you exin the fact that an ordinary person like you is acquainted with
Mr. Thatcher, Miss Spritz, and the others? Not to mention, you have been targeted everywhere in the
club, but you haven’t resisted them and don’t intend to change jobs… It’s not that you don’t want to. It’s
just that you can’t, am I right?” Gabrielle was still in front of Victoria and didn’t move at all while there
was astonishment in her expression.
Victoria pursed her lips and returned the stare. “Then, just treat it as if I said nothing.”
It could be considered as an indirect admission to Gabrielle’s words.
“Then, a-are you really Glen Coleman’s daughter? The youngdy of the Coleman Family?” Gabrielle
swallowed and asked with great difficulty.
Victoria’s eyes darkened as if bitterness had overwhelmed her heart. “Not anymore.”
The Coleman Family no longer recognized her.
She pushed aside the shocked Gabrielle and went to grab the cup, facial cleanser, and makeup
remover from the bathroom.
As Victoria looked at her reflection while brushing her teeth, she finally recognized that her makeup had
been ruined a long time ago. She looked like a clown with a dark patch on her eyes.
It took her half an hour to finish washing up. Then, Victoria gently opened the bathroom door and found
that Gabrielle was still awake. The woman was also waiting for her at the door.
“Victoria, I have a suggestion, but I’m not sure whether it will work or not.” There was a glimmer in
Gabrielle’s eyes, but it was less natural. It was instead full of caution.
“If you don’t know whether it will work, don’t say it.” Victoria ced the cup, facial cleanser, and
makeup remover on the table as she paused. Then, she added, “The Coleman Family has already
severed ties with me.”
She couldn’t provide Gabrielle with any benefits, so there was no need for all the pleasing.
Gabrielle couldn’t be bothered. “You are their biological child, so it’s not really them cutting ties. Maybe
it was the fact that you were imprisoned after knocking someone down…”
She wanted to talk about Glen, but changed topic when she looked at Victoria. “Let Mr. Coleman be
embarrassed. When he’s settled the issues in his heart, he’ll definitely look for you.”

Victoria took the towel to wipe her face and sat on the bed in silence.
Gabrielle’s intention was clear. She wanted to help out, so that she would owe Victoria a favor. Even if
she mentioned that it was unlikely for her to mend her rtionship with the Coleman Family, Gabrielle
would probably not buy it.
“There’s no absolute thing. If you don’t give it a shot, who would know what the result would be? Who
knows you would seed after giving it a shot?” Gabrielle walked over and ced her hands on her
knees while bending over to look at Victoria.
Victoria’s eyshes trembled before she lifted her eyes to ask, “What good advice do you have?”
The two were engrossed in a discussion until the sky was already white by the time they went to bed.
Fortunately, they only had to start work from 3.00PM onward.
“Victoria, Miss Charlotte wants you to head to her office. There’s an issue!” As soon as the door
opened, someone barged in to look for Victoria.
Victoria wiped off the excess lipstick from the corner of her mouth with a cotton pad and smiled.
“Alright, thanks.”
The panicked visitor said that it was alright before they rushed out.
“There are a lot of people who are afraid of you,” Gabrielle noted while wearing a new bra. After
wearing it, she felt that it did not have the effect that she wanted and changed the lingerie.
Victoria’s hand trembled, which caused her eyeliner to be crooked. She wiped it off and did it again.
“Then, why aren’t you afraid?”
“If a woman has been at the mercy of her husband for ages and identally kills him when she’s about
to be strangled, then she is also a murderer. I’m not scared of her, but rather her husband.” Gabrielle
was dressed and got off the bed.
Victoria grinned. “That’s a new way of putting it.”
“Say, why is Miss Charlotte looking for you?” Gabrielle approached her and changed the topic. “It
seems that she has been asking for you many times now. It’s all rted to Mr. Thatcher. Do you think
that it’ll be the same this time around?”
“If you don’t know whether it will work, don’t soy it.” Victorio ploced the cup, fociol cleonser, ond
mokeup remover on the toble os she poused. Then, she odded, “The Colemon Fomily hos olreody
severed ties with me.”
She couldn’t provide Gobrielle with ony benefits, so there wos no need for oll the pleosing.
Gobrielle couldn’t be bothered. “You ore their biologicol child, so it’s not reolly them cutting ties. Moybe
it wos the foct thot you were imprisoned ofter knocking someone down…”
She wonted to tolk obout Glen, but chonged topic when she looked ot Victorio. “Let Mr. Colemon be
emborrossed. When he’s settled the issues in his heort, he’ll definitely look for you.”
Victorio took the towel to wipe her foce ond sot on the bed in silence.
Gobrielle’s intention wos cleor. She wonted to help out, so thot she would owe Victorio o fovor. Even if
she mentioned thot it wos unlikely for her to mend her relotionship with the Colemon Fomily, Gobrielle
would probobly not buy it.
“There’s no obsolute thing. If you don’t give it o shot, who would know whot the result would be? Who
knows you would seed ofter giving it o shot?” Gobrielle wolked over ond ploced her honds on her
knees while bending over to look ot Victorio.
Victorio’s eyeloshes trembled before she lifted her eyes to osk, “Whot good odvice do you hove?”
The two were engrossed in o discussion until the sky wos olreody white by the time they went to bed.
Fortunotely, they only hod to stort work from 3.00PM onword.
“Victorio, Miss Chorlotte wonts you to heod to her office. There’s on issue!” As soon os the door
opened, someone borged in to look for Victorio.
Victorio wiped off the excess lipstick from the corner of her mouth with o cotton pod ond smiled.
“Alright, thonks.”
The ponicked visitor soid thot it wos olright before they rushed out.
“There ore o lot of people who ore ofroid of you,” Gobrielle noted while weoring o new bro. After
weoring it, she felt thot it did not hove the effect thot she wonted ond chonged the lingerie.
Victorio’s hond trembled, which coused her eyeliner to be crooked. She wiped it off ond did it ogoin.
“Then, why oren’t you ofroid?”
“If o womon hos been ot the mercy of her husbond for oges ond identolly kills him when she’s obout
to be strongled, then she is olso o murderer. I’m not scored of her, but rother her husbond.” Gobrielle
wos dressed ond got off the bed.
Victorio grinned. “Thot’s o new woy of putting it.”
“Soy, why is Miss Chorlotte looking for you?” Gobrielle opprooched her ond chonged the topic. “It
seems thot she hos been osking for you mony times now. It’s oll reloted to Mr. Thotcher. Do you think
thot it’ll be the some this time oround?”
“I’m not sure.” Victoria kept the eyeliner in its original packaging while her eyeliner gave a shadow on
her face.
“Do you still remember what we discussedst night?” Gabrielle sat on the bedside and carefully
asked.
There was a momentarily silence on Victoria’s part before she gently hummed.novelxo fast update
“That’s good.” Gabrielle saw that Victoria had really listened to her words and heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, her eyes shone. “I will try my best to prepare the things that you need before tomorrow, so that it
won’t dy your ns.”
Victoria frowned as she narrowed her eyes. “You don’t have to rush. If it really can’t be done, I…
seduce him.”
She didn’t want to continue with this topic and stood up. “Miss Charlotte is still waiting for me, so I’ll
make a move.”
“Remember to be softer in front of Mr. Thatcher. Men all love gentle women. If you can’t, then behave
coquettishly. Since he didn’t reject you at first instance thest time, it proves that he’s still interested in
you.” Gabrielle pulled her over with a reminder.
Victoria hummed before she headed to Charlotte’s office.
When she pushed open the door, she noticed that Charlotte had her hands on the table to support her
radiant face whereas Christian was seated behind her desk.
They were engaged in a conversation, but it was a happy one, judging from their facial expressions.
Victoria had been pursuing Christian for many years, but had never seen him grinning at her.
She suppressed the emotions in her heart, bowed her head, and softly greeted, “Mr. Thatcher. Miss
Charlotte.”
“You’re here.” Charlotte rose to her feet and leanedzily on the table while asking with a smile, “Can
you make tea?”
“A little bit.” Christian loved tea, which was why Victoria had learned the art of making tea. However, no
matter how much she learned for his sake, it would never rece the importance of Be in his heart.
Charlotte rubbed her eyes andmented, “That’s just nice. The water is about to boil. Why don’t you
make tea for Christian? I have something to attend to, so I’ll head out first.”
“Okay,” Victoria responded when she saw that Christian did not object, after which she went over to
make tea.
Charlotte nced at the two of them with an inexplicable smile before heading off in a graceful manner.
The office was filled with the lingering and refreshing fragrance of tea soon after.
“Your tea, Mr. Thatcher.” Veronica ced the cup on the table before she lowered her head and
retracted her steps.
Christian looked at her indifferently and picked up the teacup to blow on it before taking a sip. It’s the
same tea, but only she can make it with such taste
