Angelina walked fast toward Victoria, slapping her hard.

Victoria felt her ears were ringing, but she could remain calm and stood upright.

"What the hell did you do? What kind of trick do you do to manipulate all of this? You want revenge?" asked Angelina, looking at Victoria from head to toe and laughing mockingly. "And what's with your new looks? Are you trying so hard to make it look like things have turned around? Change your surname to Ruthner like you're going to be his mistress. Don't you so pathetic, Victoria? Know your real place!"

Victoria gave no response but a cold stare and silence, making Angelina angry.

"Are you can't talk anymore? Say something with your fucking mouth, you bitch!"

"Are you done?" Victoria replied, asking in calm. "I am still quiet because I'm waiting for the wind to stop blowing. Because my words will not be heard if the wind keeps blowing the empty can, making it noise."

"What did you say? You call me an empty can?"

"Listen to me, Angelina Addam." Victoria interrupted, then looked at Edward, who was trying to hold his anger. "About the biggest stock of your Father's company, I am the owner. I asked Helio Ruthner to do my thing, and he did it perfectly. In the end, the true businessman knows what to do to gain his profit, including how to treat his enemy."

"Enemy?" asked Edward, complaining. "Am I an enemy of Helio Ruthner? Our relationship even runs so well until you break it all. Tell me, Victoria, what kind of trick did you use to fool Sir Helio? Do you spell on him?"

"A spell? Wake up, Daddy. Are you this desperate to find a logical reason so you think I use magic to trick you?"

Victoria's brave words pissed off Edward, Angelina and Orlando.

"If you worry about this, I will kick you out of your company. Don't worry, I will not do it," said Victoria, making Edward lookn't expected for a while. "I will not kick you out, but I'll make you out with your legs, just like the way you kicked me out of this house."

"What? What do you mean?"

"As the highest stock owner, I can change your place anytime. But I will let you be the director and my doll. Will I run your company to the highest state or the mud puddle? It's up to me. But I will make it seem as if it's happening because of you since you are the director. Isn't it funny?"

"FUNNY, YOU SAY?"

Edward almost slapped Victoria, but she gave him a warning sign.

"I will not let you touch me even a fingertip!" Edward spontaneously stopped. "And I will make sure you will be punished for every pain you give to my body!"

Edward put down his hand; he knew the one behind Victoria.

Victoria sighed, then threw three invitations to the table.

"I will short this up and go away."

They were looking surprised after learning about the names on the invitations.

"In five days, I will marry Helio Gillian Ruthner. I want you guys to come to bless me. Bless me with wishes, happiness, or madness. I am not bothered with that."

Victoria glanced at Angelina, insinuating Angelina with what she once said.

"Marrying Helio Ruthner? How can you do that?" Angelina trembled in anger.

Victoria answered her calmly. "Well, you once said that I am a slave and have to obey what my master says. If my master commands me to marry him, what can I do, sister?"

"Impossible! Helio Ruthner definitely will not propose to you! You're a pathetic girl who came into this house in my Father's pity! If not for my Father's kindness, he would not pick up your mother, who looked like the dog got caught in the rain!"

Slap!

Angelina shut her mouth in shock.

"Why do you so pissed?" asked Victoria. "And if Helio Ruthner truly falls for me, why can't you accept that? Do you think that a woman who sleeps with her sister's boyfriend is worth it more to get his attention? I am sorry, lady, but he's a young master of a blue-blood family with no poor taste."

"Victoria, you!"

"Once more, I indeed come for revenge. Is it strange?" Victoria didn't look scared, making Angelina couldn't defend herself. "But the revenge doesn't stop with this slap, Angelina; you deserve to get more than this. Your fall starts now, like a roller coaster that always goes down, never running up. And it will not stop before I say so. I take the control."

Victoria walked upright and left the room. The sound of her shoes was clear, echoing like a countdown to destruction. She left

With no power to pay back, Edward, Angelina, and Orlando held their embarrassment. At the same time, Helio waited for her in the car.

"Huft…."

"You must be trying hard to hold that scared so you're not looking so pathetic in front of that predator," Helio said, mocking. Victoria didn't pay attention and was looking at the street. "But you look cool enough to scare them. I should record all the things."

"Yeah… you should see it."

"Your ankles look tense a little bit. Should I buy you flat shoes since you're not used to putting that expensive thing on your feet?"

"Thank you, but the only thing I wish is for you to shut your mouth."

"That's quite rude. Don't forget that you are the slave one here, lady."

Victoria didn't say anything.

"Our next move is to buy a wedding dress. Shall we speed up—"

The brakes sounded so loud, and the car suddenly stopped.

Victoria was shocked and panicked, while Helio laughed when he learned about the reason.

Claudia almost hit their car. She stopped before Helio's car and walked closer like she was about to flip the thing up.

Helio was about to go out, but Victoria held him.

"Let me talk to her."

Helio mocked her with a laugh.

"Do you want to be her mop again this time?"

1 "I am not gonna let her do it anymore." Victoria opened the door, ready to face Claudia's rage. "However, I will get married in five days and not let anything scratch my body!"
