Queen Of Revenge And Glory (Victoria and Jackson) novel Chapter 267

After receiving Victoria’s icy response, Curtis felt nothing but calm–he had expected it all along.

He didn’t bother replying. Instead, he sent Calvin Binder some photos he’d taken of himself looking completely defeated in his old apartment. After a moment, he dialed Calvin’s number.

It had been a long time since he’d been kicked out of the Binder family, and this was the first time he’d reached out to Calvin.

Before, he just couldn’t bring himself to face Calvin.

Has Grandpa forgiven me for what I did to Victoria?‘ Curtis wondered.

The call rang for a long time before Calvin finally picked up. Calvin’s voice sounded weary and aged.

‘Grandpa,” Curtis said.

‘Why are you calling me?” Calvin asked.

‘Grandpa, did you see the photos I sent you? Simon is really suffering. Can you please talk to Victoria for him and ask her to help him out, to remove the poison?” Curtis pleaded. “Grandpa, I’m sure you know Victoria poisoned him to get back at

nim.”

There was a long silence on the other end, then Calvin sighed. “You know how Victoria is. Even if I beg her for Simon, she night not budge.”

Curtis said, “Grandpa, Simon is suffering every night–it’s pure torture. Yeah, he screwed up, but he’s still your own grandson. Can you really stand to see him in this much pain?”

Calvin sighed again. “Victoria’s birthday is coming up soon. I’m planning to come back then. I’ll try talking to her, but I can’t promise anything. She might not lift the poison.”

Curtis’s eyes lit up with hope. “Grandpa, if you just ask, I know Victoria will say yes and help my brother out!”

After Victoria sent that reply, there was nothing but silence from Curtis’s end.

Victoria didn’t give Curtis a second thought and got right back to work.

She was so busy, she couldn’t even spare a moment of sadness for someone who didn’t deserve it.

Before clocking out, Victoria bumped into Frank, who had hurried over to the office to see her.

“Victoria, I’ve finalized the male lead and all the key supporting roles,” Frank announced.

“Oh? You seem really pumped, Frank. Looks like you’re pretty satisfied with your picks. So, who’s the male lead?” Victoria asked, genuinely curious. She didn’t know much about showbiz, so she left the casting up to Frank and trusted his taste.

Frank took the water Tracy handed him, took a sip to clear his throat, and said, “Brian Thompson.”

“Wait, what?” Tracy, who was still lingering in the office, blurted out, totally shocked.

Victoria shot her a look. “What’s up, Tracy? You look like you just saw a ghost. Is Brian really that surprising?”

Tracy hesitated, unsure if she should speak up, but Frank went ahead and explained, “Brian is a former top actor whose reputation is in tatters. Three years ago, right after he won the big award, he got into a car accident and nearly lost his life.”

Okay. He only gave a one–word answer, but you could hear the excitement in his voice

“That’s all, then, Victoria said, and hung up without another word.

After wrapping up at work, Victoria headed back to the Binder family home, planning to have dinner with Toney and $textu just as she was about to sit down, her phone rang–it was Calvin calling from overseas.

“Hold on, it’s Grandpa, Victoria said, picking up the call.

Daisy quickly grabbed a bowl and ladled out some Pork and Parsnip Soup for her.

Victoria called out sweetly, “Grandpa.”

Calvin chuckled on the other end, then asked with concern, “Victoria, have you had dinner yet?

“Just about to, Grandpa. How’s your trip going? Victoria replied, picking up the bowl of soup thaisy had served and taking, a sip.

Calvin replied. “It’s been great, but honestly, I still feel more comfortable back home in China

Victoria set her bowl down and asked. ‘So, when do you plan to come back to China?

“In a couple of days Calvin replied.

“Alright. I’ll come pick you up with Mom and Dad Victoria said.
