Jessica was stunned.
A frozen silence trailed along the air between them.
A few seconds later, she burst into a smile.
She looked up at Natalia and blurted coldly, "You think you can fool me?"
Natalia shook her head, "Forget it if you don't believe me."
Jessica's face darkened.
"What exactly do you mean by saying this?"
"Nothing, it is great if you can understand, but it doesn't matter if you don't. I just want to remind you, you brought me down five years ago because I was off guard, but now it is different!"
"Do you really think I am so silly to come without fully prepared, knowing that you and Tammy are trying to set me up and destroy my reputation again?"
Jessica's face changed completely.
She shook her head in disbelief.
"It is impossible! If you had evidence, why didn't you disclose it five years ago?"
Natalia smiled with faint mockery.
Without another word, she turned around and was about to go inside.
Caught in a panic suddenly, Jessica reached out her hand to pull Natalia.
"Stop! Make it clear..."
However, a figure rushed over at this moment and bumped into Jessica.
"Ah!!"
Amid the scream, Natalia hurried over to hold Victoria, and found that Jessica's gown was stained with red wine.
"Oops! I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I failed to stop in time running here and bumped into you by accident!"
Victoria smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe the red wine for her.
How dare Jessica let her wipe the stains for her? She was afraid that she would push her intentionally, so Jessica retreated quickly.
"Don't come over!"
"Tsk! It is you who don't allow me to wipe it for you! Don't blame me for not apologizing!"
With that, she felt at ease and withdrew her hands.
Jessica's face turned blue with anger.
Victoria said with a smile, "Don't be angry. It's only a dress. It is so ugly that it makes you look like a fat old nanny. I have done you a favor to get it dirty. At worst, I will buy you a new one."
Jessica was speechless.
"Besides, pregnant women shouldn't be angry. What if your anger has an negative impact on the baby? This is the only bargaining chip you have to marry into the Miller family! Be careful."
Jessica was fuming.
Marie who had sent Marie into the room was worried about Jessica and came downstairs to her. At the sight of Jessica's gown ruined with red wine, she quickly ran over.
"Jessica, what happened to you?"
Jessica said nothing but stare at Victoria, as if she wished to eat her alive.
Victoria turned a blind eye and said to Marie with a smile, "Nothing. Her skirt got dirty accidentally. Since you are here, we will leave her to you. Pregnant women should be taken care of, we will leave you alone. Bye."
With that, she pulled Natalia to walk away.
Marie was left behind, speechless.
Natalia did not expect that Victoria would suddenly come over.
As long as she thought of the fact that Jessica got spilled with red wine, she could not help but laugh.
She tugged at Victoria's hand and asked, "Hey, where were you? What took you so long?"
Victoria's eyes flickered.
"I just talked to a few people I know."
Victoria switched the topic to avoid continuing discussion about it. "Did you tell Jessica?"
