    Looking at Glen’s back, Victoria casually mentioned, “You have to be more ruthless. If you really


    manage to make me leave Delta Club, I will definitely rent an advertising space citywide to thank you.”


    “Tori, you…” Denise looked at her worriedly, but before she finished speaking, she left when her


    husband constantly urged her to.


    Victoria pressed her lips together and walked over to close the door. After that, she went to sit on the


    bed again, this time with her head lowered as she seemed to be deep in thought.


    On the other hand, Gabrielle took a deep breath and sat on a chair, where she quietly watched Victoria.


    After a long minute, Victoria lifted her head to look at Gabrielle. “Thank you for standing up for me


    earlier,” she sighed.


    “My parents used to criticize me without bothering to find out the truth back at home. I used to hope for


    someone to speak up for me then.” Gabrie’s eyes were slightly red as she wiped their corners.


    “Alright now.” She waved dismissively at Victoria. “Let’s stop talking about them. They are such a


    bummer.”


    Buzz! Buzz!


    Gabrielle’s phone began to vibrate after she said that. As soon as she picked up the call, she spitefully


    hissed, “Didn’t you say that you are never going to call me again? Why—”


    Her words could no longer be heard after she went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.


    Victoria’s heart was nothing but a jumble of mess. All she could feel was exhaustion she had never felt


    before as shey in bed. With both hands on her lower abdomen, she slowly closed her eyes. Can I


    just fall asleep and never wake up? I can’t stand this amount of stupidity anymore.


    But, of course, that was impossible. So when the next day came, she still had to put on the revamped


    uniform simr to a cleaner’s uniform and go to work.


    While she was on the way to work, she came across a colleague that she had only met a handful of


    times. “Good… afternoon, Victoria.” The woman smilingly greeted her, but her voice was shaky all the


    way.


    Amused, Victoria nodded in reply.


    She didn’t understand why the woman wanted to greet her despite being so afraid of her.


    She continued to meet a number of colleagues that she both knew and didn’t know throughout the way,


    but one thing stayed consistent—they all greeted her in a surprisingly friendly way.


    Victoria only nodded at them dismissively, and it was only after she took a few steps away from them


    that she heard them chattering.


    “Fiona and the rest of them apologized to Victoriast night, and they were all fired after she refused to


    forgive them! Including the one who edited the photo, 60 employees were fired!”


    “It is fine if they were just fired. I heard that right after the security guard who edited the photo was fired,


    the police came and took him away. It looked like he would be sentenced. His life is technically over!”


    “Tsk, I wonder just what kind of bigshot she bootlicked…”


    “But we are all colleagues! Don’t you think Victoria went overboard?! If she thinks it is embarrassing for


    people to talk about how she went and seduced Mr. Thatcher, only to be thrown out naked, she


    shouldn’t even have done it in the first ce! It is disgusting how she tries to act innocent and sl*tty at


    the same time!”


    Victoria didn’t know if they purposely said those words in a way that she could hear them despite not


    being too loud.


    Standing with the light behind her back, she let out a smile filled with mockery before she turned


    around and said to their backs, “Stop right there.”


    She didn’t know why Christian fired those other employees, but she wouldn’t be so innocent as to


    believe that he did it for her.


    Hearing her voice, the trio stopped in their tracks and turned around to look at her.


    One of them then asked her in a sarcastic voice, “Is something the matter?”


    “I am the person you were talking about, yes?” After recognizing her voice, Victoria stalked toward her.


    As the figure of her getting closer and closer was reflected in that woman’s pupils, the woman’snguid


    stance started to straighten up as her back became straight. “I don’t know what you are talking about


    —”


    p!


    Victoria pped her face, stopping her from finishing her words.


    “What right do you have to hit me?!” The woman covered her attacked cheek and red at Victoria.


    “You do want to have the best of both worlds! What is the matter? Brave enough to do sh*t, but you


    can’t admit it?”


    Right then, her twopanions hurried to hold her back as they gave her a speaking look.


    “Don’t touch me!” The woman’s anger also rose after she was pped. “I have to give this shameless


    b*tch a piece of my mind today. She didn’t even think about where she stood before she went and


    seduced Mr. Thatcher. She deserved to get thrown out! Ouch!”


    Victoria had pped the woman’s other cheek. “It looks better symmetrical,” she stated. “Also, it is not


    that I don’t have the guts to admit it. It is just…”


    She pinched the woman’s chin and said with a snort, “I don’t want to hear your verbal diarrhea in front


    of me. It stinks!”


    The woman tried to pry Victoria’s hand away, but when she couldn’t, she got so angry she wanted to


    curse. “You—”


    “Think before you speak.” Victoria looked at her indifferently while raising her other hand.


    The woman shrank her neck subconsciously and covered her face with both hands as she swallowed


    all the words that had reached her throat. Her twopanions, on the other hand, stood timidly aside


    for fear that Victoria would hurt them..


    She looked at Victoria’s ruthless eyes, then nced at the scar at the end of her eyebrow. After


    thinking about the fate of those colleagues who were fired, she frowned and muttered unwillingly, “I am


    sorry. I shouldn’t have said that about you.”


    “I won’t be as gentle if I hear you saying things that I don’t want to hear,” Victoria warned in a low voice


    while releasing the woman’s chin.


    Now that the woman was free, she rubbed her throbbing cheeks and pitifully hummed in reply. She


    didn’t even care about her friends as she directly left the ce.


    “It is almost working hours. We will be going now. Goodbye!” Her two femalepanions bbered to


    Victoria before they ran away at the speed of light.novelxo fast update


    Victoria pursed her lips and started heading off to work as well, but a round of apuse could be heard


    just then.


    “That! Was! Amazing!” Janice popped out from the corner of the stairwell and looked at her with bright


    eyes. “Wow, Victoria! You were so cool just now! I would want to marry you if you were a man!”


    “When Victoria didn’t say anything in return, Janice somehow didn’t feel embarrassed at all as she


    smacked her lips. “Why would theye to pick a bone with you if they can’t afford to do that?” she


    mused while pointing to her head, blinking continuously. “Do you think they have a problem up here?”


    “Probably.” Victoria smiled at thedy


    The sight of her soft smile put Janice in a daze before she murmured, “Wow! You look so pretty when


    you smile!”


    Upon hearing that, Victoria quickly wiped the smile off her face and bowed. She then sincerely gave


    her gratitude, saying, “Thank you for helping me, Miss Mooney.”


    Janice had already helped her many times for someone she had only met a few times.


    “Geez, you are putting me on the spot here.” Janice scratched her head while a distressed look


    appeared on her baby face. “It is not like I helped you achieve anything…”


    Victoria stood up straight then. Eyes lowered, she said, “It is one thing to extend your help. It is another


    thing whether or not you managed to help. Since you have helped me, you definitely deserve thanks.”


    Unlike her parents and her ‘friends’ who had abandoned her without even trying to help her, Janice was


    like a Godsent angel.


    “I-I don’t know what to say when you thank me like that.” Janice bashfully giggled. “I heard that you


    were kicked out of the room butt-naked by the Ice Man, and so I skipped work because I was worried


    you would be upset. But seeing you level-headedly fix those foul-mouthed women has put me at ease.”


    Victoria’s pupils dted when she heard thosest few words. She grabbed onto the hem of her


    clothes, but she couldn’tugh despite how much she wanted to.


    She lowered her head to hide the darkness in her eyes before uttering softly, “I am fine. Thank you for


    your concern, Miss Mooney.”
