Chapter 4 I Would Have Come and Picked You up Myself

Victoria was stunned as she subconsciously looked up, finding the face familiar, although she couldn’t recall who exactly it was. In the meantime, the lady noticed her confusion and smiled ambiguously.

“It’s really you. Why didn’t you let me know after you came out of prison? I’m your old friend, aren’t I? If you told me that you were coming out, I would have come and picked you up myself.” As soon as the lady finished her words, Gabrielle was left with her mouth agape.

Having expected that something like this would happen at some point, Victoria continued to fake a smile and replied, “I don’t know you, Miss.” novelxo.com fast update

Nevertheless, the lady wasn’t about to let Victoria go so easily. She then folded her arms and continued to mock her, asking, “What has really become of you? Was it tough living in the prison?”

In response, Victoria pursed her lips in silence, trying her best to keep the smile on her face. Meanwhile, the lady began to lose her patience when all her sarcastic remarks failed to piss Victoria off. She soon raised her voice and spoke with a high-pitched voice. “What’s wrong with Delta Club? How could you hire a criminal as your hostess? Look at how she treats your customers. I don’t see her manners at all. Where is your manager? I want to see…” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“What are you doing, Scarlett?” When a deep voice interrupted the lady, Victoria turned around and saw a silhouette approaching them. At that moment, her memories came back and started to flood her mind.

“Look what I ran into, Luke.”

Needless to say, Lucas noticed Victoria’s presence, and his eyes were filled with unfathomable energy. He then walked up to her and asked casually, “When did you come out?”

“About half a month ago.”

Stunned by Victoria’s frankness, Lucas kept his head down and accidentally caught a glimpse of the faint scars on her face that prompted him to look away. “Good to know that. Now that you’ve regained your freedom, you should treasure your second chance.”

“Thank you.”

Scarlett Palmer was unhappy when she noticed that Lucas wasn’t going to give Victoria a hard time. After all, she had been waiting for a chance to humiliate Victoria, who was a revered and respected figure back then. Therefore, she raised her eyebrows and seized Lucas’ arm, smiling coquettishly. “Shouldn’t we invite our old friend to join us, Luke? What do you say?”

While Lucas only looked at Scarlett in silence, Victoria knew it was unlikely for her to get away with what was coming at her because that was the reason Christian wanted her to work at Delta Club. Back then, she had gotten on the wrong side of more people than she could count, knowing that all of them would want to witness her miserable state.

If it wasn’t Scarlett today, it would just be someone else. I guess that’s how my fate is. After stepping out of the elevator, Victoria found herself outside a VIP lounge as she could smell a strong alcoholic scent wafting toward her. Although it was dim inside the room, Scarlett shoved Victoria inside and asked, “Look who
