Queen Of Revenge And Glory (Victoria and Jackson) novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288

At the Talent Training Center Mrs Tooth led Angelica Binder around, introducing her to the workings of the place

“This month, your task is to recruit two girls”

“They must be young and attractive, preferably from outside Benwig City. Focus on scouting girls from small towns- groom and transform them.” Mrs Tooth instructed.

Most girls from those rural areas haven’t seen much of the world. A little glitz and glamour, and they’ll lose their way–easy to bring in Mrs Tooth added.

Angelica Binder nodded. “Understood, Mrs. Tooth.”

Nathan Clark handed you over to me because he thinks highly of you. Don’t disappoint him,” Mrs. Tooth reminded her

Thinking about how badly she wanted to get back at Victoria, Angelica was determined not to slack off. “Absolutely!”

ust then, a training coach hurried over in high heels and whispered in Mrs. Tooth’s ear, “Mrs. Tooth, the girl you were most nterested in slipped away when the staff wasn’t paying attention.”

Mrs. Tooth’s face instantly turned cold, her eyes sharp and dangerous.

Angelica, just do what I told you. I’ve got something else to deal with,” Mrs. Tooth said.

before Angelica Binder could reply, Mrs. Tooth marched off with the coach.

At the garage, Mrs. Tooth got into the car, lit up a cigarette, and spat, “That damn bitch! I gave her everything–food, drinks, pent a ton making her into someone men are obsessed with–and she had the nerve to run off right under my

Alright,” Stephen replied.

The car quickly caught up to the runaway.

The woman ended up in a shabby, forgotten part of town.

Mrs. Tooth jumped out, tossed her cigarette, stormed right up to the woman, and slapped her across her stunning face.

The woman crashed to the ground, but her eyes were fearless. She tilted her head back and laughed like a lunatic. “Lucky? Why don’t you try enjoying that ‘luck‘ yourself?”

Mrs. Tooth stormed over, yanked the woman by the hair, and snarled, “You still got the nerve to challenge me? If I hadn’t invested so much in you, I’d have ended you right now!”

Suddenly, a car screeched to a halt.

A Mercedes pulled up next to Mrs. Tooth’s car, and a serious–looking man stepped out.

The woman, still held by her hair, laughed. “You vicious hag, ruining so many innocent girls–you’re done for!”

Mrs. Tooth frowned, glanced at the man, and showed no fear. “So you ran out on purpose, waiting for this guy to save you?”

But she never expected it, Ollie caught her fist mid–air and broke her hand like it was nothing.

Ah Mrs. tooth shrieked in agony. Before she could even react, Ollie socked her in the mouth, knocking out her two gold teeth and leaving her mouth full of blood.

Take these three away. Ollic ordered. Then he turned to the woman who’d escaped. “Come with me. I’ll make sure you get somewhere safe”

The woman shook her head. “I don’t have a home… I ran away, and that’s how I ended up falling into her trap.”

Ollie was silent for a moment. “I’ll help you find work, but you can’t stay in Benwig City. It’s not safe for you here.”

The woman nodded gratefully. “Thank you, really.”

After work at noon, Victoria sat at her desk, carefully organizing Stephen’s files before slipping them into her bag.

she’d made up her mind–she had to tell Jackson what she suspected.

she drove straight to Thornton Group and headed straight for Jackson’s office.

But to her surprise, she found a woman in her forties in the office.

The woman was lying on the floor, her hands and feet tied up.

She looked about forty, her big wavy hair messy, wearing a flashy leopard–print jacket over a black winter dress, and knee- high black boots.

Victoria hurried over and sat down on the couch, her eyes fixed on the woman, full of suspicion. She asked, “Jack, who is he?

ackson rolled his wheelchair closer to Victoria, his voice calm and cold. “Mrs. Tooth.”

Victoria couldn’t help but be surprised. “Wait, that’s Mrs. Tooth?”

Seeing the look on Victoria’s face, Jackson asked, confused, “Vickie, do you know Mrs. Tooth?”

Having Mrs. Tooth tied up here meant Jackson was already onto her.

There really did seem to be some kind of link between Mrs. Tooth and the so–called Tooth Lady.

Victoria steadied herself and explained, “Yeah, I got some inside information that Nathan Clark is connected to someone called Mrs. Tooth. The name rang a bell, and it reminded me of what Donald mentioned about Tooth Lady.”

“You–you know my mom?!” Mrs. Tooth gasped, her voice shooting up several octaves in panic as she heard Victoria mention Tooth Lady.”

Jackson stared at Mrs. Tooth, his face cold and unreadable. His tone was glacial. “Know her? We’ve got serious bad blood. The

only reason you’re here today is for payback

Payback Mrs Tooth stared wide–eyed at Jackson “You’re the big shot of the Thornton family, what kind of beef could my mom possibly have with you?”

Jackson let out a cold laugh. Ius voice dropping with a chill that filled the room. “Twenty–two years ago, did your mom buy a newborn baby?”

At the mention of twenty–two years ago,” Mrs. Tooth’s whole body jerked. Her face went ghostly pale, and her eyes darted everywhere, he’d hu a nerve.

What’s it got to do with you?” Mrs. Tooth tried to act tough, but her voice was clearly trembling.

Jackson fixed Mrs. Tooth with an icy stare, his tone even colder. “That baby your mom bought? That was my own brother

Now that Jackson had captured Mrs. Tooth, he had no intention of letting her walk free. He was fine with her knowing he was after his own brother.

Jackson’s words landed like a heavy blow to Mrs. Tooth’s chest. Her eyes went wide with shock, her face frozen in disbelief. lips trembling.

“Your brother?!” Mrs. Tooth blurted out, her voice shaking.

After the initial shock, Mrs. Tooth stammered, still in disbelief, “Didn’t you personally send your brother to prison yourself…”

As she spoke, a realization dawned on her.

Twenty–two years ago, a man showed up in secret, too afraid to even show his face, claiming he was selling his own son to Mrs. Tooth’s mother.

Wait… was that man Jackson’s father, Donald?

‘Back then, Donald was too scared to show his face–afraid someone would discover what he’d done: selling his own son!” Mrs. Tooth realized.

Seeing the look of realization on Mrs. Tooth’s face, Jackson’s voice was icy. “Now you know exactly why you’re here.”

Mrs. Tooth’s fear finally kicked in. “Jackson, grabbing me won’t help–I swear, I don’t know where your brother is!”

She never would’ve guessed–the little bastard who caused her mother’s death was actually Jackson’s own brother!

No wonder… no wonder my mom died so horribly.

Turns out she messed with the wrong people!‘ Mrs. Tooth realized, a chill ran down her spine.

Now that I’m in Jackson’s hands, am I going to meet the same tragic fate as my mom?‘ Mrs. Tooth thought, fear twisting in her gut.
