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.

The audience's curiosity was instantly piqued. Who could it be?

The host was so excited that his face turned red. "To be honest, when we first invited this guest, we didn't think it would be successful. Given his status and position, it was highly unlikely that he would attend such an event. But unexpectedly, we managed to invite him! We are truly honored!"

The audience exchanged surprised glances.

According to the host's words, this mysterious guest had a very high status.

But among the people present, they were either influential figures in the entertainment industry, elite businessmen, or the daughters of prestigious families. How much higher could this mysterious guest's status be?

Was the host just bragging?

Victoria wasn't interested at first, but now she was curious and looked towards the stage. Who could make the host so excited? Was it true?

Only Carl, sitting in his seat, smiled cynically, looking like he had seen it all before.

Finally, the host had built up enough suspense and announced solemnly, "Now, let us welcome our heavyweight mysterious guest, Mr. Jack Moore, the CEO of Moore Corporation!"

As soon as the host's words fell, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Some people were so shocked that they stood up, while others who were drinking water were surprised and choked.

Jack... Moore??

Holy shit!!!

The host wasn't exaggerating; this mysterious guest's status was truly extraordinary!

But as the host had said, given Jack's status and position, he would never attend such an event. Why was he in such a good mood today and specifically attending the charity banquet?

Or was it that this lord came for a reason?

At this moment, Victoria heard Jack's name and widened her eyes in astonishment. Her clear gaze was filled with disbelief.

Did she hear correctly?

Jack, as a mysterious guest attending the charity banquet?

Why didn't he tell her he was coming?
