Victoria arrived at the main palace and could not help but shiver when she locked eyes with Martin.
"Uncle…"
Martin looked sullen as if he had lost all hope in her.
Victoria looked around—the guards seemed to be General Harris' men. It was easy for one to figure out why Martin had summoned the team to the palace at such a time.
She bit her lip and forced a smile. "I wonder what it is that you summoned me here?"
Martin took a deep breath to suppress his rage and waved to get the guards to leave.
Soon, they were the only people left in the main palace. In reality, Martin still cared about her dignity. After all, he was the one who had brought her up.
"We're the only ones left." His voice was deep as he glanced at Victoria with sharp eyes. "Tell me the truth!"
Victoria pouted. "I don't know what you mean, uncle."
"You're still denying it!?" he barked. "Was it you who posted those photos? Did you buy those spam accounts? You hurt Alexander, making him go through this crisis. What exactly are you doing!?"
"Uncle, what makes you think that I did it?" Victoria denied it. "Ha! Don't tell me you think I'm jealous of Alexander? He's my brother by blood! What's the benefit for me to do that?"
"Yes, I just wanted to ask you that! What benefit do you get out of it!"
Martin gasped for breath, his chest heaving up and down. His voice came out in a hoarse whisper. "When you and Alexander were just children, you entered the palace. I held both of you in my hands and climbed the stairs... I made a vow to myself that I would care for you as if you were my own, and I kept that promise!
"But why is he grateful, yet you are not? You're going all out to destroy him, even to destroy the entire royal family!"
"I…" Victoria's lips moved, and her voice shook. "Uncle, you have no evidence!"
"Evidence?" Martin could not believe that she refused to admit it until she was faced with grim. He scoffed and tossed a brown folder.
