Nathan looked down at Angelica as she begged at his feet, his eyes filled with cold disdain. “Did you just say you killed your father?”

After Howard revealed her true identity as a fake heiress, Angelica learned to read the room at home. In that moment, she caught a flicker of hope in Nathan’s expression.

She nodded firmly. “Yes… I killed my father…”

Sure enough, the moment she finished, Nathan idly rubbed the ring on his thumb and said coldly, “Good. You’re just what I’m looking for someone ruthless enough to kill their own father.

“I’ll have someone take care of your father’s body. In exchange, I need you to do something for me. It’s risky, but since you’ve already killed someone, you’re just the right person for the job.”

Angelica didn’t hesitate at all. She nodded quickly. “Mr. Clark, as long as you save me, I’ll do anything you want!”

Next year, at the Secret Garden party held on a randomly selected island, Nathan would need a fresh batch of young women to serve as playthings for the guests and the powerful figures behind the Clark family.

Now that the Clark family was trying to go legit, he couldn’t get his hands dirty himself–he had to use someone else as a proxy.

With nothing left and nowhere to turn, Angelica was the perfect pawn to help him lure in young women to test the drugs.

And if things went sideways, he could just throw Angelica and Darell, who was eager to tag along, under the bus. He could even drag Binder Medical into it and pin the development of the aphrodisiac on them.

He said, “Angelica, as long as you get the job done for me, I’ll give you the chance to finish Victoria off with your own hands.”

Hearing that, Angelica’s eyes finally lit up. ‘I can finally deal with Victoria? This is just what I wanted!‘ she thought.

“I’m all in, Mr. Clark! I’ll do my best for you!”

Nathan instructed his assistant, “Take Angelica to the hospital and have her face taken care of. Also, handle the body inside.”

The assistant nodded. “Yes, Mr. Clark.”

Angelica followed Nathan’s assistant out, leaving the run–down shack behind.

Watching Nathan’s commanding figure, she clenched her fists and summoned her courage. “Mr. Clark, there’s something I need to tell you…”

Nathan paused, but didn’t turn around.

Angelica bit her lip and continued, “Mr. Clark, your fiancée, Lexi, is working with Victoria. She doesn’t love you at all. She was the one who helped Victoria take me away on purpose last time”

As Angelica finished speaking, the air around Nathan grew tense and oppressive.

The assistant and the bodyguards immediately lowered their heads.

Nathan turned around and said to Angelica, “Come here.”

Angelica hurried over, feeling secretly pleased, but as soon as she got close, Nathan kicked her hard in the stomach, knocking her to the floor.

“Ah…” She curled up on the ground, clutching her stomach in agony.

“If you want to keep working for me and stay alive, don’t say things you shouldn’t,” Nathan warned, then strode down the stairs.

Once they were in the car, the assistant asked cautiously, “Mr. Clark, should we go talk to Miss Lexi and get to the bottom of this?”

Nathan stared out the window, his voice icy. “No. If she won’t fall in line, I’ll have her and Victoria taken care of.”

The assistant’s eyes widened, his lips parting as if to say something, but he held back. In the end, he said nothing and simply drove them out of the neighborhood.

As the luxury car sped off, Angelica remained curled on the ground, her hands clenching in anger.

Whether it was Jackson or Nathan, they all looked down on her.

‘As long as I’m alive, I’ll make those idiots regret ever writing me off, she vowed.

On Monday morning, Victoria woke up in her dreamy pink bed.

She stretched lazily, and before she even got out of bed, the automatic curtains slid open by themselves.

It was Greenie who’d triggered them.

Once it was done, Greenie slid off the remote on the nightstand and swam over to Victoria, stretching its little head out to nuzzle the back of her hand.

“Morning, Greenie,” Victoria said, gently patting its tiny head. Then she got out of bed and grabbed some freeze–dried food from the cabinet to feed Greenie, Whitey, and Blackie.

There was a knock at the door.

“Victoria, are you up yet?” Daisy called from outside.

Victoria dusted the freeze–dried powder off her hands and went to open the door.

“Victoria, here are your clothes for the week. I picked them out for you, and they’re all freshly washed,” Daisy said as she walked in with an armful of clothes. She set them on the bed.

“Mom, you’re so sweet, picking out new outfits for me every week. Give me a kiss!” Victoria said, puckering up and leaning in.

Daisy raised her hand to block Victoria’s pouty face. “Stop being silly. You haven’t even brushed your teeth yet have you?”

Victoria made an exaggeratedly hurt face. “Mom, you’re acting like I’m gross! Fine, I’ll go brush my teeth before I kiss you.”

Daisy quickly changed the subject. “Your birthday’s coming up soon. After that whole outfit clash last time, I thought I’d design an outfit just for you this year. What do you think?”

“Yes! If you design it just for me, it’ll be totally one–of–a–kind–no way anyone else will have the same thing!” Victoria said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

“Deal!” Daisy replied. She was going to be busy for the next few days, designing clothes and baking a birthday cake from scratch.

Victoria giggled. “Wow, Mom, I never knew you could design clothes!”

and give him a total transformation. So I found your dad and asked if he’d be willing to cooperate with me for the competition.”

“And then what happened?” Victoria asked.

“I told him that if I won first place, I’d give him all the prize money. But little did I know…” Daisy’s voice trailed off.

As she spoke, a faint blush crept across her perfectly maintained face.

Victoria was practically bouncing with curiosity, completely hooked by her mom’s story. “Come on, Mom, don’t leave me hanging! What happened? Tell me!” she urged, her eyes wide with excitement.
