Queen Of Revenge And Glory (Victoria and Jackson) novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227

Zachary obsequiously continued, “Mr. Clark, I’ve never liked Annie. She’s always picking fights with me in the group chat because of that annoying Victoria. I’ll find a chance to kidnap Annie and see if Victoria will come to her rescue

“If she doesn’t, Annie will be disappointed in Victoria. If she does, I’ll use the chance to grab Victoria, too.”

Nathan said coldly, “Once you’ve got her, bring her straight to me. Do this right, and I’ll give you an invitation to next year’s Secret Garden.”

Zachary’s eyes lit up at that. “You got it!”

The Clark family hosted an exclusive underground party at irregular intervals every year, known as the Secret Garden.

There, all men were granted the ultimate, intoxicating pleasure. They could indulge freely and act as they pleased, free from moral condemnation and legal punishment.

Zachary had heard all about this legendary event from his older brother, but he’d never gotten the chance to go. He was practically drooling at the thought.

He was dying to find out just how insane and exhilarating this party really was, especially since even his brother couldn’t stop raving about it.

Nathan held his glass, swirling the liquid inside, his brooding face reflected in the glass.

Lately, the Clark family’s overseas club had cooked up a new party drug. Once Zachary got his hands on Victoria, Nathan was going to use her as a test subject.

He’d dump her right into the chaos of the Secret Garden, let the guests do whatever they wanted, and see just how wild hings would get.

Victoria had to stay late at work, so when she finally got home, it was almost eight, about an hour later than usual.

Seeing only Daisy in the living room, Victoria asked, “Mom, Dad’s not home yet?”

Daisy was busy sketching a birthday cake design on her tablet. When Victoria walked in, she set it aside and said, “Your dad’s >een super busy lately, juggling Springrise Technologies and Binder Medical.

He just called and said he’ll be working late at Binder Medical tonight, so we don’t need to wait for him for dinner.”

Oh, Mom, do you think I made things harder for Dad?” Victoria said playfully, setting down her bag and hugging Daisy’s irm, acting all cute. “He used to just coast through work and always made it home on time to keep you company

Now he’s got two companies to run and barely has a free moment.”

Daisy laughed. “That’s what being a father is about. He can’t be as laid–back as before He has to look after the Binder family’s business for you.”

‘Honestly, Mom, what really makes me happy is just having you and Dad with me,” Victoria said.

She truly meant it. She never cared about money. All she wanted was to treasure the time she had with her parents

Daisy smiled. “Alright, I’ll remind him not to get so wrapped up in work that he forgets about our little girl.

“Oh. Mom you’re the best, Victoria said, snuggling up to Daisy, who was wearing a cozy knit cardigan. “So, what did Zoe make for dinner tonight?”

Daisy replied cheerfully, “Your favorite creamy garlic shrimp, herb–crusted lamb chops, baked salmon, and creamy mushroom soup. Since it’s just the two of us tonight, she didn’t make too much.”

That’s already a feast,” Victoria said, thinking back. “Back when I was in Mullinran Village, most days I just threw together a plate of wild greens and called it dinner.”

Hearing that, Daisy immediately wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “Victoria, those hard times are behind us. From now on, you can eat whatever you want, and as much as you want.”

Victoria felt a bit embarrassed. ‘Mom had totally gotten the wrong idea,‘ she thought.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford good food. She just couldn’t be bothered to cook.

It was only during those two months she dated Gavin that she actually got to eat a little better. He’d always cook her a couple of extra dishes.

Still, she couldn’t help but feel touched by her mom’s concern.

“Yeah.” Victoria said, snuggling into Daisy’s arms. She thought to herself, “Time, please slow down. Don’t let Mom and Dad get old so fast.‘

She wanted to spend fifty years, eighty years, even a hundred more years with her parents.

After dinner, Victoria went out to the herb garden to take care of the Immortal Herb and the other herbs, just like she always did.

Once she finished, she headed back to her room, took a shower, and, while blow–drying her hair, checked the message Annie had sent her earlier.

Annie texted. [Victoria! Gavin didn’t even text me today. Guess he finally realized he can’t compete with Jackson and just gave up.]

Victoria replied. [I’m sorry you have to go through this.]

Annie then replied, [It’s nothing! Honestly, chatting with him was just a way to pass the time. Now that he’s not messaging me, I kinda miss the distraction.]

After a second, Annie added, [Ugh, Zachary’s being all snarky in the group chat again, taking shots at you. No, I’m gonna go and roast him for you.]

Once her hair was dry, Victoria leaned back against the headboard, grabbed her phone, and opened up the ECE Saga group chat.

Good–for–Nothing Heir said, [Tomorrow’s the meeting to sell the rights to Chasing the Dream. Word is. Gale Entertainment’s got 100 million dollars ready to snatch it up. Wonder how much Ms. Binder’s planning to throw in

[One million dollars? Or 10 million dollars?

[Brightstar Entertainment probably isn’t even worth 10 million dollars, is it?]

Annie, going by SecretlyPleased, chimed in.

SecretlyPleased tagged Good–for–Nothing Heir and said, [Hey, check these out, pick whichever leash you like best You’ll be needing one soon, so I’m getting it ready for you on Victoria’s behalf.

Good–for–Nothing Heir replied, [Annie, I’m just giving Victoria a heads–up. Why are you even chiming in? Honestly you re the one who needs a leash, always trailing behind Victoria like some stray dog. Seriously, you’re making the Thornton family look bad.]

Annie dropped another link in the chat.

This time, it was a muzzle for dogs.

Secretly Pleased messaged, [Oops, my mistake, you definitely need this more. Otherwise, you’ll keep snapping at people every time you open your mouth.]

Good–for–Nothing Heir snapped, [You wait, Annie! This isn’t over!]

ScretlyPleased replied. [Oh, look, he’s already trying to bite! I’m shaking!]

After scrolling through the group chat for a while, Victoria called Yvonne and asked her to go to Mimiburg with Tracy for

omorrow’s Chasing the Dream rights event.

‘Why me? I don’t really have what it takes to get the rights to Chasing the Dream,” Yvonne said, sounding a bit confused.

Victoria absentmindedly played with Greenie, who was nudging her hand, and explained, “The whole event will be live- streamed, and it starts with a blind evaluation.

I only need you to have a deep understanding of Chasing the Dream and convince everyone watching that you can totally nail the female lead role.”

There was a short silence before Yvonne replied with determination, “Alright, I get it. I won’t embarrass you, Ms. Binder.”

After hanging up with Yvonne, Victoria called Jackson.

Hey Jack, I totally forgot to tell you at lunch. Are you free tomorrow? Come with me to the Chasing the Dream rights event! Let’s team up and totally embarrass Nathan, that forever runner–up. What do you say?” Victoria asked.

ackson chuckled on the other end. “It’d be my honor.”

He was always so polite and refined. If anyone else talked like that, Victoria would roll her eyes and think they were bemg way too fake.

But with Jackson, it felt different. He really had that warm, noble vibe, like a prince straight out of a story.

Someone this gentle and pure… Victoria honestly just wanted to see what he’d be like if he ever let his wild side loose.

Then come and pick me up tomorrow,” Victoria said.

‘Okay, what time?” Jackson replied.

“Ten AM, Victoria answered.

‘Alright,” Jackson said.

“See you tomorrow,” Victoria said.

“See you tomorrow,” Jackson replied.
