Upon spotting Victoria, Amelia rushed over, her face filled with concern. "Victoria, what happened last time was my fault. You should move back home. It's not safe for a young woman out there."
Dempsey snorted coldly, "Amelia, leave her alone! She was the one who made a fuss to cut off ties with the Montgomery family. Even if she dies outside, she only have herself to blame!"
Victoria's eyes narrowed when she heard this, and her red lips raised a cold sneer, "I didn't die outside, it seems that I have disappointed you."
"You!" The anger in Dempsey's eyes flared.
This Victoria had truly changed, no longer the obedient one trying to please them. Now, she seemed like she was covered in thorns.
Dempsey glanced at Trent beside him and took a deep breath, as if he was giving an ultimatum, "Victoria, if you admit your mistake now and come back, the Montgomery family will still take you in. But if you choose to make a persist..."
"Then I'd rather persist."
Victoria coldly interrupted, unwilling to waste more words on him, and she walked away.
Dempsey immediately reached out to stop her, his eyes full of anger, "Victoria, What is this attitude? Do you still have any respect for your brother?"
Huh, respect for her brother?
Dempsey had never treated her like a younger sister. Now, he asked her to respect him like a brother.
How ridiculous.
"Dempsey, I have long since severed ties with the Montgomery family. What right do you have to ask me to respect you now?"
"And one more thing," Victoria glanced at the arm blocking her path, her voice icy, "A good dog doesn't block the way."
Dempsey was so angry that his face darkened. Just as he was about to explode, Trent, who had not spoken since just now, suddenly said, "Victoria"
Victoria turned to look at him and met a pair of cold, disdainful eyes.
In the past, her heart would have been in pain, wondering if she had done something wrong again, if she had not been good enough in some way, searching for all the faults within herself.
But now, after experiencing heartache and despair over and over again, her heart was already dead.
Victoria looked at the man indifferently and said lightly, "Mr. Montgomery, what are you doing?"
Mr. Montgomery
This unfamiliar and distant address made Trent furrow his brow slightly.
In the past, Victoria had always followed behind him, timidly calling him "bro."
At that time, he only felt disgusted. How dare someone like Victoria call him like that? Only Amelia could had that privilege, and was his real sister.
But now, when he heard Victoria's estranged and indifferent "Mr. Montgomery", he felt a little awkward.
Victoria suppressed this discomfort and asked with a frosty tone, "When you left the Montgomery family, did someone from the Moore family come to pick you up?"
Victoria couldn't help but laugh. It turned out to be for this.
Trent Montgomery was the current president of the Montgomery Corporation.
