Chapter 622
Chapter 619 Blood Feud
Vincent was avenging Fiona by taking action against the Gezmond family.
He set Lionel up by drugging him to have sex with Kimberly in order to utterly shatter Victoria''s dreams
of marrying him, for he could not bear to see her wed the son of the man who had caused her mother''s
death.
Victoria promptly regretted her reaction to his actions.
She grew to hate him and refused to head home for six years straight as she assumed his greed was
the reason for the Gezmond family''s downfall.
Now that the truth was revealed, she knew she waspletely wrong.
All the while, she passionately expressed her deep-seated animosity toward Vincent, yet he silently
epted it without ever divulging the truth to her.
He''d rather let her misunderstand him than tell her the truth about Fiona''s death as he was afraid she''d
break down upon learning the truth.
Dad, I''m sorry. I really am. I shouldn''t have gotten involved with Lionel. I shouldn''t have married the son
of Mom''s murderer! Lionel took his revenge on the Saunders family, and the repercussions of his
actions have been devastating for me. Despite the pain I have endured, I have been left with nothing
but a sense of futility and despair. I can hardly believe that all my suffering has been for naught.
Thud!
The door was kicked open, and in rushed Lionel.
He abruptly came to a stop when he caught sight of Victoria—her eyes were hollow.
Her reaction told him that he was toote as she had learned the truth.
“Victoria...”
His voice jolted Victoria out of her reverie. When she saw Lionel, she hollered, “Stay away from me!”
Lionel froze in his tracks and said anxiously, “Okay, I won''te to you. I will stay right here. Calm
down. You mustn''t get emotional.”
Victoria slowly raised herself up, ignoring the sharp, searing pain that shot through her abdomen. Tears
pooled in her eyes as she rasped out, “You knew about it, don''t you?”
Lionel hung his head and said bitterly, “Yes, I found out a while ago. Your father told me everything
before he died. I''m sorry that my father caused your mother''s death. I promise to pay for his sins.”
Victoria burst outughing as she regarded him icily. “You are fully aware that he hasmitted a sin,
huh? How can you possibly n out our future so casually when you are aware of the full extent of the
situation? Do you really believe that we will still be able to have a future together when your father is
responsible for killing my mother?”
Lionel''s lips twitched as though he wanted to say something, but the sight of her frosty gaze made him
swallow his words. In the end, he said, “The animosity between the previous generation should not be
something that we have to bear.”
Without hesitation, Victoria grabbed a cup from the bedside table and flung it at him.
Lionel was capable enough of avoiding the cup, but he stood still and allowed the cup to be thrown at
him.
Bang!
A bruise appeared on his forehead as a result.
“Lionel, your father murdered my mother. We should never be together!” Victoria screamed.
Lionel shed a bitter smile, as he had seen thising.
Victoria was known for her stubborn and strong character, so she would neverpromise after
learning the truth.
He knew her well enough to know that she should not be told the truth.
In fact, Lionel was afraid of losing her and wanted to spend more time with her.
They had been through too many obstacles and were finally reunited, so he was determined to never
let her go.
That was why he ended up agreeing to all the conditions stated by Victor.
Nothing else mattered more than Victoria and her daughter.
“Vicky, it is truly heartbreaking that you are choosing to punish me for something that my father did. I
know that I cannot undo the hurt he caused you, but please do not shut me out of your life. Without
you, I don''t think I could go on living,” he pleaded.
Victoria burst into tears.
She couldn''t imagine living without Lionel, too.
s, the reality was cruel enough to make them part of a blood feud.
What can she do?
She couldn''t make a choice.
My mother wouldn''t want me to end up with the son of her murderer. My father, desperate to protect me
from this, had devised a n to ruin Lionel''s reputation and prevent me from being with him. My
parents didn''t want me to be involved with Lionel. If I insist on being with him, they won''t rest in peace.
“Why? Why is this happening to us? Tell me why!” Victoria wailed. I can''t believe this!
She crouched down, her body wracked with sobs as she clutched at her stomach.
“The baby shouldn''t have existed in the first ce. Dad, what have you done? Why did you keep this a
secret from me when you died?”
Lionel''s eyes narrowed in shock when he saw a trail of blood trickling down her legs.
He quickly ran toward the bed and flung his arms around her tightly.
“Please take a deep breath and rx, Vicky. Your baby will be in danger if you don''t calm down,” he
pleaded.
Victoria was ovee with grief and started struggling when she suddenly felt Lionel''s strong arms

around her.
“Leave me alone! Go away!”
Lionel''s eyes turned red as he stared at her blood-stained legs. At that moment, he made a quick
decision to strike her on the back of her neck in order to render her unconscious.
“Go and get all of the gynecologists that you can find!”
“Yes,” the butler responded.

Meanwhile, Bailey leaped up from the couch in the study of the Shurmer residence.
As she seemed emotional, Zeke frowned and asked, “Are you okay? What did you see that made you
lose your cool?”
Bailey tossed her phone to him. “I knew there was another reason behind Vincent''s revenge against
the Gezmond family, but I had no idea it would be this. It turns out Lionel''s father caused the death of
Victoria''s mother. The thought of Victoria discovering the truth is unbearable. How could she evere
to terms with the fact that the man she was in love with was the son of the person who had been
responsible for the death of her mother?”
A sh of surprise crossed Zeke''s face after he read the contents disyed on the phone screen.
“I still can''t wrap my head around the fact that this is actually the truth. When Vincent''s wife drove her
car off of a cliff and died, it shocked the whole upper-ss society. I thought the tragedy happened
because the brake malfunctioned. As it turned out, it had all been nned and executed by a malicious
individual.”
Bailey took a deep breath and clenched her jaw. “Someone deliberately exposed the truth to separate
Lionel and Victoria. It appears that Victoria has already been informed of the news through someone''s
intentional nning.”
Zeke got to his feet. “Let''s go to the Gezmond residence together.”
Bailey shot him a smile. “You''re getting to know me better, huh?”
Beep, beep!
Her phone rang.
Lionel nced at it and returned it to her. “It''s Lionel.”
Bailey hastily took her phone.
After the call was connected, Lionel said, “Bailey, Victoria''s baby is in danger. It''s quite a precarious
situation. Can youe over now?”
