“Ah, it seems I made a mistake, Miss Smith.” Scar said as he took a step forward.

Victoria raised a brow. “What mistake?”

“This invitation is not a request. You will be coming with me. But it is up to you if you will follow me the easy way or the hard way. Ultimately, the choice is yours.”

“Are you trying to go against the Smith family?” Victoria questioned, attempting to use her family as a shield.

Scar smirked as he replied. “I wouldn't dare.”

“Then…”

“But it doesn't change the fact that you will be coming with me. Now then, how would you like to come with us?... Free or bound?... Choose quickly, I have a short temper.”

Victoria paused as she realized that whatever was happening was a conspiracy.

The fact that Scar wasn't wary of her identity meant two things; the person backing him was either on par with her or was someone from her family.

She was well aware that not everyone in her family was happy with her identity as heiress of the Smith family.

Regardless, stopping her from mak

  • Putting a wench in her place

    At this moment, Bartholomew finally raised his head.But instead of looking at William, he looked at Tess and said in a gloomy tone, “Did you just say that no one will respect the Nelsons or take us seriously if word about this matter gets out?”Tess hurriedly said, “Yes, the esteemed scion of the Nelson family had his arm broken by a good-for-nothing, but the helmsman didn’t dare to take responsibility for it. If others hear about this, the reputation of the Nelsons will definitely be affected. When the time comes, who will be wary and fearful of the Nelsons like before?”Bartholomew narrowed his eyes. “Try repeating yourself again.”Tess was slightly puzzled, but she nevertheless bit the bullet and continued, “Well… Although I won’t think so, I can’t guarantee that other people won’t after hearing about this matter! After all, this matter is a great shame for a powerful and domineering family like the Nelsons, isn’t it?”“Haha!” Bartholomew suddenly sneered twice as his expression b

  • Completely unrepentant

    Tess gritted her teeth and stepped forward to point at William while saying loudly, “Mr. Nelson, Mr. Raymond, don’t be fooled by this man! He’s not the son of a prestigious family but just an incompetent and useless good-for-nothing!... Don’t let him deceive you with his pretentious front!”William suddenly stared at Tess with a wisp of intense murderous intent in his eyes.He had already spared her once and let her go on account that Victoria had pleaded for mercy on her behalf.But she was completely unrepentant and repeatedly caused trouble to make Bartholomew, Lucius, and the others deal with William.Indeed, she was an ingrate who would never learn her lesson!Victoria’s expression changed drastically, and she looked extremely sullen.Just now, she had begged William to let Tess off on account that they were cousins when Tess was bawling in misery.But Tess once again tried to cause trouble and stopped these bigwigs from sparing William and Victoria.Just how much of a grudge did

  • Reaching a compromise

    Bartholomew stared at William for a long time as his facial expression changed repeatedly.He suddenly said to Riley in a deep voice, “Son, apologize to this gentleman immediately!”The fact that Bartholomew could become the head of the powerful Nelson family meant that he definitely wasn’t just a headstrong and arrogant fool.Being able to yield when necessary and act wisely according to the situation were some of his strengths.He initially thought William was just an ordinary scion who popped out of nowhere.But after some judging, he changed his mind.If William were just an ordinary scion, he wouldn’t be able to remain so composed in the face of so many bigwigs and refuse to compromise regardless of how they lowered themselves or threatened him.Besides, John, the expert whom several top families failed to recruit, was now following William like an underling.This was clear proof that William’s identity definitely wasn’t simple.When the situation was unfavorable, people could ch

  • Just who is this young man?

    As soon as William heard his threat, he immediately increased the strength of his foot on Riley’s face, causing it to deform slightly.Bartholomew was furious and anxious, but he no longer dared to threaten William again.This loathsome young man was clearly a tough nut to crack who hated being threatened.What should I do?Regardless of how vicious and brutal Bartholomew usually was, there was nothing he could do now that his precious son was being stepped on by someone.Douglas was kneeling right next to Riley.When he saw Riley’s tragic plight from the corner of his eye, he was so frightened that he started shuddering.Even though his grandfather was right in front of him, he didn’t dare to ask for help.Tess was standing right at the back of the crowd, with her vision blocked by the helmsmen.So she couldn’t see what was going on and could only hear Bartholomew’s threat coming to an abrupt halt, Riley’s sudden shrieks, and William’s arrogant statement.She pursed her lips in disda

  • Humiliated twice in one day

    “I’m Tess Smith, a close friend of Douglas. I struggled for my life and escaped from that room to report this to you! What I said is absolutely true! They’re right next door. Just go inside to take a look, and you’ll know! Saving their lives is the most important thing right now!” Tess exclaimed anxiously, seemingly panic-stricken.After a brief moment of losing his temper, Lucius immediately said, “How dare that person hit Riley? He must have a death wish! I won’t let him off!”Then he took the lead and rushed out.Bartholomew had an incomparably gloomy gaze in his eyes.He had never laid a finger on his precious son ever since he was born.Yet Riley had been beaten up twice in Westbrook, making him boil with fury!“I’ll see who dares to hit my son!”Bartholomew stormed off to the room next door with both his powerful bodyguards.He swore that he would beat the person who hit his son to death to vent his anger!The rest followed closely behind the two big shots and dashed into the ro

  • Once an ingrate, always an ingrate

    When Tess saw William’s terrifying gaze and the petrifying killer beside him, she was instantly frightened out of her wits.As soon as William gave the order, John definitely wouldn’t spare her!She didn’t want to die yet!Tess no longer cared about anything else and began crawling and scrambling toward Victoria.She hugged Victoria’s thighs while bawling her eyes out. “Victoria, I-I’m sorry! You’re right. I’m just an ingrate who’s worse than a beast! I’ve let you down! But I really know my mistakes. Please forgive me because we’re cousins and give me another chance, okay?”“Don’t mention that we’re cousins ever again. I really wish I had never had anything to do with you!” Victoria pushed Tess away.She had long been hurt and heartbroken by her so-called ‘cousin’ and was now utterly disgusted by her hypocritical words and crocodile tears.Tess didn’t genuinely know her mistakes and was merely trying to make Victoria ask William to spare her because she realized the situation wasn’t i
