Chapter 106 Victoria Loses Control and Dignity
"Mummy, I came back on my own." Olivia looked at Victoria in shock. "And how could you act like
this? How could you resort to derogatorynguage towards Adeline?"
Olivia had received a good upbringing since childhood and was a bit spoiled, but she never used
foulnguage or insulted anyone.
Thus, seeing her mother behave like this wasn''t very pleasant.
Adeline quickly realized that "Logan" and "Olivia" were Victoria''s weak points, so she approached
them with a sense of revenge.
"Calling me a derogatory name is not the worst thing she has done to me..."
Before she could finish her sentence, fear shed in Victoria''s eyes as she hastily raised her hand
to silence Adeline. "Shut up, you slut!"
With a swift motion, Victoria did what she wanted to do.
Olivia reacted immediately and protected Adeline, taking the full blow on her face. Her head
buzzed, and she nearly lost her bnce.
Within moments, her cheeks felt hot and painful, and one side of her cheeks swelled up.
Victoria felt distressed and didn''t know what to do. "Olivia, Olivia, don''t scare me. Are you okay?"
At that moment, Mrs. Hodges and several wealthydies emerged from their private booths.
Mrs. Hodges gently pulled Adeline away and sighed, "You''re unfortunate to have such a crazy ex-
mother-inw."
The other wealthydies also looked at Victoria with disdain.
"Victoria, we tolerated your love for showing off before. But you seem to resemble a noblewoman
less these days."
"That''s right. You used to be part of high society, but now you''re behaving like a shrew in public,
disgracing all of us!"
"I remember when we entered this circle, and we told you that the women in our circle need not only
wealth and family background but also high personal decorum and refinement. Look at you now.
What sets you apart from a fishwife?"
They took turns criticizing Victoria, making her feel ufortable and embarrassed as if she were
being roasted alive.
She recalled her previous warning to Adeline about being easily provoked and unable to survive in
the world of the wealthy!
But she hadn''t expected to lose control of herself today over a bank card.
"Olivia, let''s go to the hospital." Victoria held Olivia''s hand and attempted to leave.
But Olivia withdrew her hand, saying, "Mommy, you should go ahead. I want to stay with Adeline."
Olivia felt uneasy not only because of the pain on her face but also because of the inner turmoil
within her.
She couldn''t bear to imagine how much it would have hurt if that p hadnded on Adeline''s face!
Olivia rejected her mother''s approach and held Adeline''s hand.

"You!" Victoria seethed angrily and gave Adeline a furious re before leaving.
Mrs. Hodges looked at Olivia with appreciation and said, "You''re different from your mother. I''d say
you are wiser and more sensible."
Adeline nced at Olivia''s swollen face, feeling grateful and concerned simultaneously. "Olivia, let
me take you to the hospital."
"Sure, it hurts so much. I don''t want to be disfigured."
Mrs. Hodges and Adeline apanied Olivia to the nearest hospital.
Olivia vented her frustrations to Logan on WhatsApp on her way to the hospital.
"Logan, you won''t believe what happened. Mom went too far. She called Adeline a bitch and even
tried to p her!"
As she sent the message, she took a selfie and sent it to Logan.
"Logan, if it weren''t for me taking the blow, Adeline would look like this now."
"Logan, Mom has crossed the line! Since you left, I have no idea how she has been tormenting
Adeline!"
Mrs. Hodges nced at Adeline teasingly.
Adeline shrugged helplessly. "I told Olivia I married Curtis, but she didn''t believe me."
As her voice fell, Olivia rolled her eyes. "Mrs. Hodges put yourself in her shoes. Would you believe
it?"
Mrs. Hodges opened her mouth, hearing Olivia''s remark.
"Definitely not! Only a fool would believe it!"
Mrs. Hodges didn''t utter a word.
Adeline shrugged at Mrs. Hodges.
Meanwhile, Victoria stormed out of the restaurant, only to be intercepted by Vi and Edith, who
had purposelye.
"Mrs. Riley, if you''re avable, we''d like to invite you for a cup of coffee," Edith took the initiative to
invite her.
Victoria understood Edith''s cunning intentions and arrogantly declined, "I''m not avable."
Victoria was about to leave.
Edith called after her, "Mrs. Riley, I have something essential to tell you. My daughter... Adeline
never married Mr. Riley."
Victoria''s face changed, and she stopped in her tracks.
