Queen Of Revenge And Glory (Victoria and Jackson) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

“Dad, Victoria said she can wake Curtis up. If you make a move against Daisy now and piss her off, Curtis might never wake up,” Simon said, still trying to persuade his father.

Darell sneered. “Oh, really? If she says she can wake Curtis up, that’s even better! Once I get Daisy out of the way, Victoria will have to do whatever I tell her. Everything will be settled, whether it’s your poison or Curtis waking up!”

Simon knew his father was stubborn and never backed down. There was nothing he could do to stop his father from targeting Daisy, so he stayed silent.

Darell looked at Simon, on whom he had placed great hopes, with a mixture of frustration and disappointment, and said, “The top prosthetics expert I found is already here. Since Brightstar Entertainment will be handed over to Victoria next month anyway, just stay home for now and let the expert fit you with a new leg.”

Simon paused, uncertainty flickering in his eyes, then finally spoke up. “Dad, my leg might be lame, but I can still walk. If I get a prosthetic, that means they’ll have to cut it off…”

Darell cut him off, his tone harsh. “I’m not letting my son–the future heir of the Binder family–be a cripple! If you could survive Victoria’s poison all this time, you can damn well handle the pain of getting a prosthetic!”

Simon went quiet again.

“Take these days to figure out how you let a girl like Victoria screw you up so badly!” Darell snapped, not bothering with Simon anymore. He strode toward his study, pulled out his phone, and dialed the old butler’s number.

“John, I need you to take care of something for me. If you get it done, I’ll let you come back to the Binder family and work for me again…”

After a moment’s hesitation in the living room, Simon got up and walked out of Silverwood Villa.

This was his last shot. If Victoria could let go of their grudges, remove the poison from his system, and wake Curtis up right away, maybe his father would finally calm down and give up on targeting Daisy.

Outside the villa gates, Simon took out his phone and dialed Victoria’s number

He waited anxiously, and luckily, Victoria picked up.

Simon let out a sigh of relief. “Victoria.”

Her voice was icy. “What do you want?”

Simon felt a pang at her cold tone, but he forced himself to stay calm. “Victoria, didn’t you say you could wake Curtis up? Could you please go to the hospital right now and help him wake up? If you can get him to wake up, I’ll do whatever you

want.”

Victoria snorted coldly. “Simon, you’ve already lost your inheritance. What could you possibly offer me now?”

Her words hit Simon like a dagger to the heart, leaving him speechless.

After a brief pause, Simon gritted his teeth. “Victoria, trust me, this is for your own good. You need to cure me and wake Curtis up right now, or else…

Before he could finish, Victoria cut him off.

She let out a mocking laugh. “Or else what? Or I’ll suffer? Threats are all you’ve got, huh? Simon, let me tell you. I’ll wake Curtis up whenever I damn well plea.

You don’t get to order me around. If that’s all, I’m hanging up. I thought you actually had something interesting to say.”

55 vouchers.

“Victoria, why can’t you just do what I ask, just this once? I’m begging you! I swear, this time it’s really for your own good!” Simon pleaded.

“Oh, so all those times you pretended to apologize and make it up to me weren’t really for me, huh?” Victoria scoffed. “Forget it, Simon. Now you suddenly care about me? I couldn’t care less.”

And with that, she hung up.

Simon lowered his phone, looking toward the east villa, and muttered, “I really tried, Victoria. You just wouldn’t listen to me. If something happens to Daisy, don’t put it on me.”

*****

After hanging up, Victoria stared at her phone for a long moment.

Simon’s call was weird. Maybe he knew something and called on purpose to tip her off.

Suddenly, she remembered her conversation with Jackson at noon, and an idea struck her.

Her gaze turned frosty in an instant, so cold it felt like it could freeze the air around her.

She dialed Daisy’s number.

Daisy picked up right away, her voice as gentle as ever. “Victoria, what’s wrong?”

Hearing that familiar, warm voice, the frost in Victoria’s eyes melted away like snow under the sun.

Instead, a playful, starry–eyed sweetness took over.

“Mom, where are you right now?” Victoria asked.

“What’s wrong? Is something at home giving you trouble?” Daisy asked.

“Nope, I just miss you-” Victoria replied, her voice sweet and playful.

Daisy let out a gentle laugh. “Is that so? I’ll head home right away!”

“Yay-” Victoria chirped, her tone full of sweetness.

After hanging up, Victoria’s gaze became frigid once more, as if the warmth had never existed.

‘So they really think they can lay a finger on Daisy?‘ Victoria mused, her heart turning cold.

She’d make sure the Binder family learned the hard way–hurting Daisy would bring consequences far worse than anything they’d ever imagined if they messed with her.

*****

After hanging up, Daisy turned to her best friend, who was patiently teaching her baking skills. “That was Victoria. She’s such a little clingy one. She said she misses me. I need to head home right away.”

Her friend looked up at Daisy, noticing the happiness she couldn’t hide, and couldn’t help but smile. “Daisy, you’ve been learning to bake cakes from me just for Victoria, haven’t you?”

Daisy nodded. “Yeah, her birthday’s in November, and I want to make her a cake myself.

“Look at you, so happy! You really, really love your daughter, huh?” her friend teased with a laugh.

Just thinking about Victoria made Daisy’s heart brim with happiness. “Victoria is so smart and talented. She’s generous,

Her friend noticed how Daisy’s expression softened more and more as she spoke, and laughed, urging her, “Alright, since you miss your precious daughter so much, go on, pack up and head home to your girl

“Okay, I’ll come back tomorrow to keep learning. Daisy said, washing her hands, taking off her apron, picking up her bag and heading out. “I’m off then.”

Her friend watched Daisy’s figure as she left, thinking to herself, ‘Who would’ve thought that my bestie, who used to never show much emotion no matter what, now has someone she truly cares about?

After leaving her friend’s place, Daisy got into the car and told the driver, “Let’s head home, Marc

After giving her instructions, she grabbed her phone and started browsing birthday cake designs online, hoping to find some ideas.

The car doors locked automatically, and the car slowly started moving

After scrolling through endless birthday cake designs online, Daisy finally looked up and realized the car wasn’t heading
