?Chapter 111: A sudden slap 2 Chapter 111: A sudden slap 2 Victoria Garcia’s gaze fell on her slender white fingers, her pupils slightly constricting.
“Actually, when I was thirteen, I already knew he was having an affair with Aunt.”
In Victoria’s words, he was her biological father, and Aunt was her mother Josephine’s cousin Clara Brown.
“That day, I happened to come home from school early. Mom was chatting with them, and when she turned around to get something, he patted Clara’s buttocks. After that gesture, Clara’s smile towards him was full of deep meaning. At that moment, I was surprised, but I didn’t show it. I pretended not to notice and appeared in front of them. They quickly concealed their expressions and resumed normalcy.”
Victoria knew very well in her heart what that gesture between a man and a woman meant, even though she was young at the time.
“Ever since I discovered that action, I started paying close attention to him and Clara. The more I observed, the more I noticed the unusual interactions between them. I even saw them… ”
Without saying more, Arnold Johnson could already imagine what she had seen. Such scenes must have left a significant psychological impact on her at the time.
Victoria pursed her lips before continuing, “Several times, I wanted to tell my mom, but seeing her content and happy like that, I couldn’t bring myself to do it.”
“By the time I finally wanted to tell my mom the truth, the news of my grandparents’ ‘air disaster’ reached us. My mom’s mental state collapsed to the breaking point. At that time, I couldn’t say anything either. The double blow would have been fatal to my mom. Another reason I didn’t continue was that my dad was with her every day, and I thought everything would get better.”
At this point, Victoria’s tone changed, “Who would have thought that the so-called ‘good times’ and the company were all because he wanted to take over the Brown Group and acquire the shares my mother held? I hate how naive I was back then.”
Victoria’s eyes darkened, “If only I had told my mother about that stuff, maybe her life wouldn’t have been so miserable.”
This was the one thing in her heart that Victoria could never forgive herself for.
Arnold kissed her hair gently, speaking softly, “This is not your fault.”
“If only I wasn’t so stupid… ”
“It’s not that you’re stupid; it’s that you’re kindhearted and chose to believe in him, believe that he wouldn’t do something so heartless.” Arnold truthfully explained the reality of the situation.
After hearing his words, Victoria couldn’t help but pout and say, “I’m not kindhearted, I’m vengeful.”
“I just love your vengeful side.” Arnold smirked mischievously.
“You better be careful then.”
“Tell me, how do you plan to exact your revenge on me?” His breath tingled, stirring the air.
Victoria’s face flushed, and she said, “Drain you of all your money, get rid of all your lovers, and leave you with nothing.”
“I just want to marry a wife like that.” Arnold burst into laughter, revealing his beautiful teeth.
“…”
“Later, accompany me to meet some people.” Arnold stopped laughing and casually mentioned the meeting, but his words were firm and decisive.
She joked, “Are those people men or women?”
“People you want to meet.”
As he said this, his gaze was deep and meaningful.
Unable to help herself, Victoria felt a layer of mystery enveloping the people he was about to take her to meet.
