Annie blinked her big, lively eyes, looking at Victoria with anticipation. She asked softly, “Victoria, are we going to save that woman?”

From what Annie knew about Victoria, she figured Victoria wouldn’t just stand by, especially with such a perfect chance to get back at Pierre.

Victoria shook her head. “I’m not going to save her.”

“What?” Annie was caught off guard by Victoria’s answer.

Victoria’s lips curled into a faint smile as she explained unhurriedly, “I don’t need to get my hands dirty. I can let Simon do it.”

Annie was even more surprised. “Simon? Isn’t he supposed to hate you? Why would he do what you say?”

Victoria looked confident, her smile saying she had everything under control. “You’ll see soon enough.”

Annie was even more curious.

Behind the scenes at the auction house, Simon stood frozen, thinking he must have misheard when Alexis said the poison doctor was Victoria. “Mr. White, what did you just say?”

Angelica’s expression soured beneath her mask. She refused to believe what she’d heard. “Mr. White, that’s not funny at all.”

Alexis sighed, sounding helpless. “I’m not joking with you. Victoria really is the poison doctor I mentioned.

“She’s not only a brilliant doctor, but she’s also a true master when it comes to poisons. Only she can cure the poisons she uses.”

The moment Angelica learned the truth, her head spun, and she felt like the world was collapsing around her.

After everything, her fate was once again tied to Victoria. She couldn’t come to terms with that.

Simon was stunned, muttering under his breath, “How could Victoria be the poison doctor?”

Then his anger erupted. “Mr. White, if Victoria is the poison doctor, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Why did you string me along for so long?”

Finally, fear crept in. ‘If Victoria really is the poison doctor, what am I going to do about the poison inside me?‘ Simon thought.

Alexis bristled at the accusation in Simon’s voice. “What, do I owe you an explanation about who the poison doctor is? Are you seriously blaming me?

“To be honest with you, Victoria specifically asked me not to tell you. If you want to point fingers, you only

“If your family had welcomed Victoria in, you can’t even imagine how good things could’ve been for you all.”

Alexis’s words hit Simon like a ton of bricks. His last hope was gone, and all that was left after the terror of dying was a bottomless pit of regret.

As Alexis said, if his parents had accepted Victoria, or if he’d recognized her as his own sister, none of this mess would have happened.

Seeing Simon so defeated, Alexis advised, “Mr. Binder, if you’re poisoned and want to stay alive, you’d better figure out how to please Victoria.

“What? Poisoned? Damn it! That bitch Victoria,” the middle–aged man cursed and then promised, “Don’t worry. I’ll figure something out.”

Angelica fumed. “And find someone with a body count to take Victoria out for me.”

The man said, “Didn’t you say that if we try to take out Victoria now, people will start suspecting you?”

Angelica shouted, “I don’t care anymore. If you want any more money from me, you’d better do this cleanly and make sure it never comes back to me.”

“Got it, my good daughter. Leave everything to me,” the man answered.

This time, Angelica didn’t even care about being called his daughter.

After hanging up, she glanced back at the entrance of the auction house, her eyes blazing with hatred.

‘Victoria, if I can’t ever get my face back, I’ll make sure you pay with your life!‘ Angelica vowed fiercely to herself.

By the time the second auction item wrapped up, Simon showed up at Victoria’s private room.

Simon’s voice was weak and listless, like all the life had been sucked out of him.

mon’s lips twitched, his gaze dropping as he replied, “I told Angelica to go home first.”

Victoria gave a knowing chuckle. “Let me guess. What you want to say to me is too much for her ears, so you made her leave?”

Simon knew Victoria was clever and sharp–tongued. This time, he didn’t bother arguing. He stayed quiet and let her take her shot at him.

Seeing Victoria didn’t turn Simon away, Annie thought for a second and asked, “Victoria, should I leave?”

Victoria shrugged, unconcerned. “No need. I’ve got nothing to hide. If Simon’s got something he doesn’t want seen, that’s on him, not me.”

When Simon realized Victoria was willing to talk to him, a flicker of hope sparked in his eyes.

“Before we talk, Simon, you need to do something for me first,” Victoria said. “Pierre left with a woman. I couldn’t see her clearly, but she looked pretty.”

“Once I take over Brightstar Entertainment, I want to sign her. So go and save her for me.” Victoria said it like it was no big deal.

Simon froze for a second. Victoria’s intentions were clear. She was using him as a pawn to deal with Pierre.
