"An invitation to Giselle Leighton's birthday party?" Victor was surprised when his assistant, Ella, told him that. "Yes, sir. Antonio Leighton has officially sent an invitation for you to attend Giselle Leighton's birthday party, which is will be held in three days." "If he officially sent thus, that means he invited me as the owner of Vyctrous." Victor looked at the invitation directly to make sure, but then he laughed when he realized what he had said. "Haha, who did I expect to be invited as?" After that he returned to silence, thinking about his decision. "I don't know what kind of humiliation they'll prepare for me, I don't think this party will end good for me," Victor said, then handed the invitation back to Ella. "Give him a reply if I'm not coming." "Yes, sir," Ella replied obediently. "By the way, isn't it break time? Why are you still in the office and not going out for lunch?" "I will come out, sir, but I will extend the other invitations to Miss Vania, Miss Viole

Victor saw Vasco coming with Verlaine, and Maria beside him. As usual, Maria would act very spoiled with Verlaine if she was in front of Victor. Maybe she thought Victor would still feel jealous, but Victor just laughed at her. "Welcome, Vic. I'm glad you came to my mother's birthday party," Verlaine said, acting friendly. Victor smiled slightly, but Vasco suddenly put his arm around his shoulders. "What are you doing?" "Why are you being so rude? I'm just trying to embrace my brother." "Brother?" Victor almost laughed at Vasco's reference to him as a brother. "Why, you don't like it?" Vasco asked, looking sad but it was just an act. "I'm actually sick of hearing I call you with word brother, but there are so many people here, wouldn't it be better to get attention by making people think we actually get along?" Victor said nothing, but he actually laughed before removing Vasco's hand from his shoulder. "You're doing something futile. Making people think we get along? Even the

Violet really did go to the garden as Vivian had wanted. Carrying one glass of wine, she searched for the whereabouts of Vivian's guest who was nowhere to be seen near the garden. "Did he go into the garden?" asked Violet, glancing inside the garden that was used for relaxing, but there was no one. Violet frowned. "Damn, did she really prank me?" asked Violet, slightly annoyed. She thought about going back. It felt uncomfortable to be in that quiet, poorly-lit place when everyone was partying in the main hall. Violet turned around, when suddenly someone attacked her and knocked over her wine glass. Prang...! "DIE! JUST DIE, YOU BITCH!" *** Victor didn't leave the party after what Violet did to him. He was still there, sitting in a corner that seemed safe from the rioters. The rioters Victor was referring to were Verlaine and his siblings. "Even though this is my enemy's party, good food never disappoints," Victor said, enjoying a variety of sweet desserts to improve his mood

Vivian came into Violet's room, and saw that Veneza had just finished checking on her. "How is she?" asked Vivian, not looking concerned. Veneza was about to leave and replied, "Nothing serious other than quite serious shock." "Hm, is that so?" Vivian gave a small smile. "She must have been very shocked. Who would have thought that someone would attack her to the point of near death while everyone was having a good time at the party? She must have been so shocked, confused, and scared. Poor Violet." Veneza glanced at Violet, who still hadn't woken up since last night. She bandaged the knife wounds Violet had gotten on her arm, shoulder and a little bit on her face. "Are you really thinking of killing her?" asked Veneza. "You knew that Amber was crazy; Verlaine wouldn't even let her leave her room for work because she was acting like a mad dog after Verlaine's marriage to Maria, but you made her attack Violet. Also... what reason did you give Amber to attack Violet?" "I didn't tel

"Okay, today's lesson is over. See you in the next lesson." During his week in Denver, Xiel thought he enjoyed his job. Being a high school teacher was not too difficult, probably because he was a genius-he could act like a good teacher despite having no experience. The only thing that was a little troublesome during his time as a teacher was his popularity, which drew a lot of attention, especially among the students. "Mr. Addams, do you offer private classes after school? I was wondering how fast my academic progress would be if I could get extra classes from you." "Unfortunately Catherine, but I don't think I can offer extra classes after school. You'll have to find another teacher." "Mr. Addams, do you have a girlfriend yet?" "Maya, we discussed this two days ago. I am engaged." "But I haven't seen you wearing a ring since day one." "It just so happens that my engagement ring is missing, and I'm ordering a new one. You'll see it soon." "What a lucky girl to be the partner
