After the show ended, everyone went inside the house. Then, Hector
ordered the chef to make some meals that adhered strictly to Griselda’s
health requirements. However, since it was gettingte, she ate only a few
bites before setting down her silverware.
“Thank you, everyone. I’m thrilled today,” Griselda said. Afterward, she went
to clean herself. Initially, Victoria wanted to help, but Griselda gently
patted her hands and said, “You don’t have to help me. I can wash myself.
After all, I can still walk.”
Before Victoria could say anything, Griselda had already turned her head
to udia and said, “It’s gettingte, udia. Why don’t you stay here for
the night? I’ll let Victoria ask the servants to clean up a room for you.”
At that moment, udia was eating absent–mindedly before Griselda
spoke to her. When she heard Griselda’s words, she immediately shook
her head and said, “It’s fine, Old Mrs. Cadogan: It’s inappropriate for me to

stay here.”
“Why not?” Griselda asked. “We have many guest rooms in our house. Plus,
it won’t be a headache to clean it. You are our savior. It’s only right that we
let you stay the night.”
Given what Griselda has said, it would be rude for udia to continue
declining her invitation. Moreover, udia also wanted to stay for the
night. After all, she would then be able to get closer to ric.
Before udia could say anything, Victoria smiled and said softly, “Mr.
Bowen, can you please find someone to clean up a room for Miss
Johnson.”
“Yes, Mrs. Cadogan.” Hector nodded in head sulkily.
Throughout the conversation, ric was quiet as he sat in his seat. Soon,
the others left and returned to their stations, leaving the masters alone.
The few servants who stayed behind sensed something weird and

scurried off. When no one was around them, udia nced at Victoria
before looking at him and asked quietly, “Would it be bad if I stay for the
night, Al? I–I think I should get going.”
On the other hand, Victoria observed udia still seated despite her
deration that she was leaving.
“It’s fine. You can stay here for a night,” ric replied with a faint
expression.
“Then…” udia turned her gaze to Victoria. “Can I stay for the night,
Victoria? Will you be unhappy about it?”
When Victoria heard that, she was at a loss for words. After all, she had
never expected to be involved in this matter. Why did she ask for my
permission when she had already asked him? She knows I can’t say
anything, yet she still wants to act entric. Thinking about it, she smiled
and acted generous. “Of course not. I’m happy that you are staying.” Then,

she cocked an eyebrow and asked, “Do I need to swap ces for the sake
of you two?”
When ric heard her words, he frowned deeply and looked at Victoria.
In the meantime, udia was baffled by her words. After some time, she
asked dryly, “W–What do you mean by that?”

Victoria tugged her hair behind her ear and looked rxed. “I meant what I
said. Think about it, Miss Johnson. I’m sure you’ll understand.” Then, she
stood up from her seat and didn’t want to say anything more. “Call me if
you need anything. I’ll try my best to help you.” After saying that, she
walked away.
As ric watched her leave, a cold aura emanated from him. Next to him,
udia sat with a puzzled expression; after all, she hadn’t anticipated
Victoria’s statement. Initially, she wanted to provoke Victoria, but she
never thought Victoria would say it aloud to his face!

After that, udia looked at him with a sad face. “Did I say something
wrong, Al? I’m sorry. I didn’t know that she would be angry. I think I’ll just go
home.” As she spoke, she stood up and rushed out.
As she hurried by, he reached out and tugged on her arm. “Just stay. You
don’t have to care about her words,” he said with a frown.
“But-”
Suddenly, Hector rushed over and cut her off. “Sir, Miss Johnson’s room is
ready.”

Huh? Is my room already done? They just left minutes ago. How could they
possibly have cleaned it so fast? udia looked at the butler in shock. She
wondered if he had cleaned the room thoroughly for her.
“Okay.” However, ric wasn’t in the mood to notice it. Instead, he looked
at her and said, “Hector will lead you to your room. Get some rest.” Then,
he walked in the direction where Victoria had left.

However, he did not hear her calling out to him, and as he left, he turned
his back on her.
As udia stood on the spot, she was upset. She hated the fact that
Victoria had said those strange words. However, Hector’s cold voice
sounded before she could think any further. “Shall I take you to your room,
Miss Johnson?”
Although she didn’t like his attitude, she couldn’t do anything. Thus, she
forced a smile on her face and said, “Thank you, Mr. Bowen.”
However, the butler ignored her words and walked away with a stoic
expression. She could only suppress her dissatisfaction and quickly
chased after him.

When Victoria went to her room, she closed the door and entered the
bathroom. She propped her hands on the sink and looked into the mirror,
seeing herself in the reflection. After uttering those words, she was
pleased to see udia’s bewildered expression and ric’s distressed
face. As expected, one can only be defeated in their own way, she
thought. Since she dares to say weird things to me, I can do the same. I
don’t need to get angry because of her. I can fight back using her way.
After all, everyone knew how to act pitifully.

frown deepened as soon as sheid eyes on him.
“What do you mean by that earlier statement of yours?” he asked coldly,
looking at her with a darkened gaze.
Victoria shrugged in response and replied, “I’m trying to help you guys.

After hearing that, ric frowned even deeper and emitted an even more
intimidating aura.
Meanwhile, she didn’t want to be in the same room as him, so she
nned to leave. However, she couldn’t get out since he was blocking the
door. “Please move,” she said.
ric didn’t budge and just stood there like a rock. Victoria frowned and

She was rendered speechless by his conduct. Hence, she silently looked at
him and walked over to the other side. However, he also blocked the other
side and had no intention of letting her exit the bathroom. After a while,
she was fed up with him, so she raised her head and red at him. “What
exactly do you want? If you have nothing to do, you can just find your-”
