Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 164

However, just as Ralph's hand was about to reach out towards Victoria.

She sensed his movement and quickly took a step back, her gaze filled with curiosity. "What are you reaching for?"

Ralph, "..."

This was so awkward.

Ralph was afraid that Victoria would misunderstand him as a shameless rogue trying to take advantage of her, so he quickly came up with an excuse. "There's a bit of dirt on your shoulder, probably rubbed against something. I wanted to help you wipe it off."

"No need, I can do it myself." Victoria took matters into her own hands and patted her shoulder.

Ralph reluctantly withdrew his hand, but caught a glimpse of a small golden lock in Victoria's hand.

It seemed to be engraved with her birthday.

Ralph paused for a moment and asked with a meaningful tone, "Victoria, have you ever thought that maybe you're not a member of the Montgomery family?"

Victoria was taken aback by his words and lowered her eyelashes. "I have."

A faint glimmer of light flashed in Ralph's eyes.

Victoria forced a bitter smile and spoke in a low voice as if it could be blown away by the night wind at any moment. "Unfortunately, I have done DNA tests with Lucas three times, and each time it showed that we have a parent-child relationship."

They had done the test three times, and each time it confirmed that they were father and daughter.

Even though she detested the Montgomery family, according to biological concepts, they were her blood relatives.

The blood of the family she despised flowed through her veins.

Ralph couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. At this moment, Victoria seemed so desolate, like a delicate piece of glass that was about to shatter.

This made Ralph feel a pang of pity and a desire to protect her.

At this moment, someone called out Victoria's name from behind.

"Little Victoria! What are you doing here?"

Victoria turned around and saw Carl and Arnold.

She raised an eyebrow with interest. "Why are you two together?"

Carl immediately looked disgusted, ignored Arnold, and ran up to Victoria. "What do you mean 'together'? I just happened to run into Arnold outside. Who knew he would also come to the charity banquet?"

Arnold walked over leisurely, his mixed-race features extremely profound, his blue eyes as captivating as the sea. He looked at Carl with a smile and said, "What? You can come, but I can't?"

Carl didn't want to waste time arguing with him and casually glanced at Ralph who was standing next to him.

Ralph allowed him to scrutinize, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He naturally knew that Carl was the younger brother of Victoria's prospective marriage partner.

Victoria looked at Arnold and asked, "What's going on? Why are you here at the charity banquet?"

Arnold shrugged. "I donated a large sum of money on behalf of G.Y, so I was invited."

Victoria, "..."

Arnold looked at Ralph, who was sitting next to Arnold, and calmly observed him for a moment. "Long time no see."

Ralph smiled faintly and said, "Long time no see? We just met last year, although you were beaten up pretty badly at that time."

Arnold, "..."

Last year... just met...

Beaten up... badly...

Ralph, this old fox!

Victoria saw this scene and suddenly understood why Arnold said that Ralph was not someone to mess with.

But in front of her, Ralph seemed quite easy to deal with.

Carl raised an eyebrow, feeling that Ralph was quite interesting.

Yes, anyone who could bully Arnold was an interesting person!

Carl was enjoying the show when Ralph suddenly looked in his direction.
