Wonder Wife

In the living room of Jameson Manor, Ginny Warde stared at Victoria in disdain. "Victoria, even if you are not educated, don't you have basic manners? Are you dumb? Don't you know how to greet your elders? Look at what you're wearing. Even beggars dress more decently than you!" Victoria was dressed in a black hoodie and ripped jeans. With one hand in her pocket, she laughed mockingly. "No one taught me manners. It is expected, I suppose, considering how my own parents didn't care about me!" Ginny stood up in anger, but Colette held her back. "Mom!" Colette sized Victoria up. She found herself pondering how the once scrawny girl from the countryside had blossomed into such a beauty.Her skin was fair, and she had well-defined features. In addition, her eyes were crystal clear. Victoria was objectively more beautiful than her. She must have undergone plastic surgery! Colette felt envious of Victoria, so much so that she wished to scar Victoria's pretty face. Despite this, sh

"How dare you!" Ginny tore up the photos. She snatched the photos from the others except for Benjamin. She didn't dare to touch him. Ginny shredded the pictures and threw the pieces on the floor. "Let's see how you can publish them now!" Victoria stared at Ginny, who seemed to have gone mad. "I have plenty of photos. You can tear all you want. If it's not enough, I'll have someone send more over!" Rushing up to Victoria, Ginny pointed at her with reddened eyes. "Don't you know that doing this will ruin Lettie? If you dare to do that, don't ever expect me to acknowledge you …" "Shut the hell up!" Victoria interrupted Ginny. She jeered, "Mrs. Jameson, you are overestimating yourself. When did I ever say that I want to be your daughter? "I have no interest in being your daughter whatsoever! Before I came here, I prepared hundreds of copies of these photos. Those photos will be shared with major newspapers and online if something goes wrong here."If you keep bothering me, the whole

The luxurious car was spacious. There was a divider between the backseat and the driver's cabin.Victoria sat beside Benjamin.She assumed that someone like Benjamin wouldn't like talkative people. So, she did not say anything.In the silence, her phone suddenly vibrated. Victoria glanced at the caller ID and ignored the call.Soon, her phone rang again, so she silenced it."You can take that call."Victoria put down her phone and looked at Benjamin. "I don't want to. Some people are snowflakes. I don't want to end up having blood on my hands," she joked.Just like that, Benjamin knew the call was from Ginny.Victoria observed the upscale restaurant with a bird's-eye view to the city.Typically, this was the kind of place where couples come for dates. Why would Benjamin like this place? Plus, it was probably expensive to eat here. Victoria followed Benjamin into a private room, feeling sorry for her wallet.Courteously, Benjamin pulled out her chair for her.Then, he sat d

The first thing Victoria did when she got home was change into comfortable clothes. By the time she settled down, the sky was dark outside.She took out her phone from her bag.It had run out of battery at some point and turned off automatically.She plugged it in.As soon as she turned on the phone, it began vibrating relentlessly.She had several missed calls. Most of them were from Colette. There were some text messages too.Victoria didn't need to open them to know what they had sent her. Uninterested, she put down her phone and flopped onto the sofa, turning on the TV.Not long after, her phone began ringing.Victoria glanced at the caller ID. She smiled before picking up. She put the call on speakerphone. "Mr. Langley, to what do I owe this honor?"Louis Langley sounded amused. "I heard you profited quite a bit today."Victoria laughed when she realized what he was referring to. "Not bad, really. You should have seen how the two of them reacted. I'm still gleeful just

Victoria looked at Colette, who was looking at her in anticipation. "I'll consider it."Ginny slammed her cutlery on the table. "What do you mean you'll consider it? Had it not been for me, do you think Brighton would ever accept a student like you? They're the ones who should be considering whether to accept you!"Lindsey laughed in a sardonic tone and said, "Look at the special treatment the biological daughter gets. She didn't even attend school and was accepted into Brighton effortlessly."Lindsey had begged Ginny so many times before to help get Cindy into Brighton. Ginny had turned her down many times. Because of that, Lindsey had to act all deferential to Ginny for an extended period. Thinking about it now still pissed her off to no end.Roman shot Lindsey a sharp glare. "Shut up!"He then turned to look at Victoria and said gently, "Why don't you want to go there? Brighton is one of the top women's colleges in the nation. Your mother and I would never do anything that wo
