Victoria looked at Michael, about to say something.
Ralph was the first to speak, "Victoria, since we are friends when we see a friend being bullied, it's only right to help, isn't it?"
Victoria replied, "...Thank you."
She could handle Kyle herself.
But being cared for by friends brought an uncontrollable warmth to her heart.
Elizabeth heard Ralph's words and watched the group of bodyguards walk towards Kyle. Her heart suddenly tightened, and her lips moved, but in the end, she did not say anything.
Originally, Michael and Ralph wanted to have a good meal with Victoria, but after Kyle's trouble, Victoria was not in the mood and went straight back to the hotel.
"Victoria, you..." Carl followed behind Victoria, asking worriedly, "Are you okay now?"
"I'm fine." Victoria glanced at him. "But you, don't casually get into fights in the future. What if you get beaten? How do I explain to Jack?"
Carl was dissatisfied and puffed out his chest, "Don't look down on me! I'm really good at fighting! I will easily beat Kyle!"
Victoria's eyes twitched, "Really? Are you that good?"
Carl was proud, "Of course, it's true!"
"Okay, I'll trust you this time." Victoria chatted with Carl before going back to his room.
Staring at her back, Carl sighed softly.
He had to talk to Jack about this.
Carl returned to his room, but before he could sit down, Arnold and Travis came over.
"How are the DNA results?" Arnold asked impatiently."
Carl shrugged his shoulders and said, "Victoria has no connection with the Preston family. They made a mistake again. I thought Victoria could break ties with the Montgomery family after this."
Travis frowned slightly.
Arnold also quieted down. After a moment, his mixed-race handsome features and blue eyes looked at Carl. "Tomorrow, flight back home?"
Carl nonchalantly glanced at him. "It's us going back, not you. You're not from the capital."
Arnold was bemused...
Arnold suddenly laughed, "Honey, why are you rejecting me like this?"
Carl's eyelids twitched and kicked at him, "Get lost!"
Travis did not comment on the quarrel between the two. He was used to it and did not find it surprising at all.
...
After Victoria returned to her room, she took a bath.
She lay in the bathtub, the hot water comfortably soaked her body, the water swayed lightly, and the steaming mist curled up, seemingly evaporating the fatigue in her heart.
Victoria lay there quietly, closing her eyes gently, gradually relaxing.
Suddenly, the phone on the side rang.
Victoria wiped her hands, picked up her phone, and glanced at it.
It was a video call from Jack.
She hung up.
A message quickly came from the other side.
Jack, [?]
Victoria typed and replied, [I am taking a shower, wait a minute.]
Jack was bemused. ..
After showering, Victoria came out of the bathroom, blow-dried her hair with a hairdryer, and then lay comfortably on the bed, calling Jack back.
In addition to her grandparents, there was also Jack, who had grown up with her and occupied her entire childhood.
Now, looking at him through the camera, thousands of miles away, the fatigue in her heart suddenly dissipated.
Jack remained silent.
Victoria brought her face close to the camera, her dark and bright eyes blinking, "Come on, see for yourself. Since you understand me so well, check if I'm okay now."
After that, she made a funny face.
He lowered his eyes and chuckled lightly, "Yeah, it's better now."
But he was still worried and still wanted to go over to her immediately and accompany her.
Victoria didn't know what he was thinking, so after chatting for a while, she heard that he was busy, so she hung up the video call and surfed the internet alone.
In the afternoon, there was a knock on the door.
Victoria thought it was Carl coming to find her, so she walked over and opened the door.
But when the door opened and saw the man standing outside, Victoria was stunned.
When she came back to reality, she wanted to close the door with a bang.
The man propped his hand on the door, preventing her from closing the door. His beautiful eyes were slightly raised, and his smile was wicked and paranoid, "Baby, why did you run as soon as you saw me?"
...
In the evening, Carl came over to have dinner with Victoria.
When she knocked on the door, she found that the door was not closed. As soon as she knocked, it opened.
"Victoria, why didn't you close the door?"
Carl asked suspiciously, but the next second, Victoria's phone fell on the carpet.
In Victoria's room, there was no sign of anyone.
