Chapter 75
Victoria swallowed the piece of meat in her mouth and suddenly felt a little tired of it.
“Do you know why?” Gabrielle asked before she quickly wiped the corner of her eyes which caused the
oil on her hand to stain her face. “Because I can get him money for his business. Speaking of which, he
was just beside me when it first happened. However, he pretended to be drunk since he knew that man
could provide arge sum of money for him. Does that mean my boyfriend doesn’t love me? No, I know
he does, but his love for his career triumphs over his love for me. Victoria, human beings are
complicated that way, so you can’t be unreasonable in demanding a pure rtionship from such
complicated beings.”
Victoria handed Gabrielle a piece of tissue before she continued nibbling on the ribs silently. To her, if it
wasn’t pure love, then she didn’t want it. In the end, the two of them continued drinking their bowls of
soup in silence.
When they were done, Gabrielle cleaned up the ward before she handed the wrapped box to Victoria.
“This is for you.”
“No thanks.” Victoria hadn’t the intention to ept it as she felt it was undeserved.
“Hold your horses there.” Gabrielle forcefully pushed the box into Victoria’s arms before she came
closer to her and said, “Remember the n to seduce Mr. Thatcher? This is a tool to help you do that.”
Upon the word ‘seduce,’ Victoria’s pupils shrank as her eyes shed a hint of gloom. In the past, she
had gone through a daily beauty care routine to refine her appearance, yet that wasn’t enough to
garner Christian’s attention. Now that her body and face were full of scars, as well as the numerous
calluses she had on her hands and feet, she couldn’t see how the man would want to pay any attention
to her.
“Thank you, but let’s just forget about it.” Victoria would no longer be so na?ve as to hope for a miracle
here. She would not delude herself into thinking that Christian would suddenly fall in love with her.
“You’re afraid of failure?” Gabrielle carefully tried to see through Victoria’s thoughts. “Then… are you
willing to stay in Delta Club for the rest of your life?”
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
Victoria clutched the bed sheets beneath her tightly. Willing? How could I choose otherwise? Reality is
the one forcing my hands here, she thought.
“If you’re reluctant, then you should just give it a try.” Seeing that Victoria wasn’t protesting much,
Gabrielle continued, “Worst-case scenario is that he’ll be angry and punish you when you fail. In any
case… Forgive me for being so blunt, but it won’t be any worse than your current condition.”
Victoria had her lips tightly pursed, the light in her eyes gone. Although she didn’t want to admit it,
Gabrielle was right. She had her legs broken, was imprisoned for two years, and was now forced to
stay in Delta Club just to suffer humiliation. Nothing else would be worse than her current life even if
she angered him now.
Although Victoria’s expression had unnoticeable changes, Gabrielle was good at reading people’s
expressions from her many years working in the club, so she noticed that Victoria had a slight change
of heart. Next, she pushed the box into Victoria’s arms once more and said, “No matter how excellent a
man is, they are still a man at the end of the day. ording to what you’ve said, the fact that Mr.
Thatcher did not reject your advances even though he likes Miss Spritz is proof that he’s not that
devoted.”
Victoria didn’t reject the box this time as she received it with her fingers slightly trembling. She didn’t
want to live so humiliatingly under the shadows of Christian and Be any longer. She wanted to leave,
no matter what it took.
“See, that’s a good girl. At least if you take a chance here, there’s a possibility of seeding. Even if
you fail, you’ll just be continuing your current lifestyle.” Gabrielle gestured at the box in Victoria’s arms
with her chin. “I’ve already asked many others and had even tried them on myself. The appeal of these
three lingerie is very positive.”
With both her lips and face turning pale, Victoria’s thick eyshes trembled slightly while her nose
started sweating slightly. She thought that with how Christian was, there was no doubt that he had
many other ways to make her suffer more pain. Nevertheless, she had survived the ordeal of him
breaking her leg, so she thought it wasn’t a big deal to go through something like that a few more
times.
“Why don’t you open it and have a look?” Gabrielle took the box and opened up the wrapping before
she took out one of the erotic lingerie that was thin and looked as though it was just a few pieces of
cloth stitched together. “If you’re not satisfied with this, you can—”
Click.
Just then, the door opened.
From the moment Gabrielle took out the lingerie, Victoria was already tense all over, so when the door
opened without warning, she almost instinctively grabbed the box and the lingerie in Gabrielle’s hand to
hide them under the nket.
“Did I scare you?” Sitting in a wheelchair, Be bit her lip and said softly, “I’m sorry for not knocking
beforeing in.”
Standing behind the wheelchair, Lucas shot a cold nce at Victoria. However, when he noticed that
the colors had not returned to her face, he frowned and looked away from her.
Upon seeing the two peopleing in, Gabrielle, who was sitting on the bed, immediately stood up
with her head hung low, afraid of looking at the two people. Her hands trembled slightly beside her
body. She had heard a few customers talking about how the Thatcher Family and the Spritz Family
were to be joined in marriage, so if thetter family found out that she had helped Victoria in seducing
Christian, she couldn’t imagine what the consequences would be.
With a rxed expression, Victoria wiped the sweat off her forehead and asked, “Can I help you?”
Just as Be was about to answer, Lucas shot another nce at Victoria with a tinge of conflict in his
eyes and said, “Be, I’ll wait for you outside. Call me if anything happens.”
“Okay, I’ll do that.” Be smiled while nodding.
Lucas then turned around and headed for the door.
“It’s best if Mr. Spritz stays,” Victoria said. Then, with a hint of contempt in her expression, she
continued, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll bully Miss Spritz when she’s alone with me?”
Lucas’ hands stopped on the door handle. He turned around and stared daggers at Victoria with a
furious expression.
Gabrielle cleared her throat and tried her best in making eye contact with Victoria. Nheless, it was
in vain, as thetter did not pay any attention to her currently. So, she lowered her head a little more as
she tried to reduce her presence here.
“It’s fine. You can leave if you want to, Lucas. I believe that Victoria was just possessed back when she
hit me two years ago. She’s not a bad person,” Be said with a sincere expressionovelxo fast
updaten.
However, no matter what his sister said, Lucas was not at ease and insisted on staying.
“To what do I owe the pleasure for you two to visit me?” Victoria’s eyes flickered with disgust for the two
siblings. “If there’s nothing to say, then I’d like you two to leave. You two can consider that you’ve
already done something good today.”
Lucas furrowed his brows. “Be came all the way here just to apologize. Why must you be so hostile
here?”
“Apologize?” Victoria smiled without the slightest hint of joy in her smile. “If you two are here to
apologize, then consider it done. You can leave now.”
Hearing this, Be struggled to get out of the wheelchair, while Lucas immediately wrapped his hands
around her to prevent her from falling. Next, she said, “Victoria, it’s my fault for identally spilling the
hot water on you that day and causing you to be hurt so badly.” Then, she gave a ny-degree bow
and said sincerely, “I’m sorry.”
Looking at Be indifferently, Victoria thought it was inevitable that she had lost to her.
“Yesterday, Christian had alreadye by Delta Club and punished me for it. I have nothing to say to
that since everything was just deserts for my actions.” She straightened herself up and continued
gently, “But I’m truly sorry for identally hurting you, so I hope you can forgive me.”
