Queen Of Revenge And Glory (Victoria and Jackson) novel Chapter 330

As for the trending topic [Midnight Blue Blackout], netizens were buzzing with comments.

[Isn’t Midnight Blue supposed to be the top nightlife spot in the country? I heard that in the past thirty years, there’s never been a blackout lasting twenty minutes, like what happened last night.]

[Yeah, I heard that whenever there’s a blackout in that area, it never affects Midnight Blue. Even in emergencies, Midnight Blue has its own power supply. The longest it’s ever been without power is two minutes.]

[Last night’s blackout was definitely the worst incident Midnight Blue has had in thirty years.]

[So what caused it? Any internet detectives got the scoop?].

[Well, you can’t talk about this without bringing up Victoria–the hottest name in Benwig City right now.]

[Is she mixed up in this too?]

[Word from Midnight Blue’s customers is, Victoria showed up there that night, and when she left, she was literally escorted out by a swarm of fireflies.]

Someone who was at Midnight Blue last night even dropped a secretly snapped blurry pic–there’s a shadowy figure in the darkness, surrounded by fireflies casting a yellow–green glow.

Even though the photo was blurry, netizens broke it down from all sides and everyone agreed the figure was Victoria.

[Holy crap. That’s wild. How did she pull that off? And I’m not just talking about the blackout. How did she fireflies to guide her out?]

[About the fireflies, didn’t people already say she can control bugs, snakes, and ants? Fireflies are bugs too.]

[As for the blackout, I heard Midnight Blue’s main circuit breaker has three layers of electronic locks. Unless you’re some elite hacker, there’s no way you could crack it.]

[So, does that mean Victoria had nothing to do with the blackout?]

[Who knows, maybe Victoria’s a hacker too. Don’t forget, nobody expected her to be the legendary author Viara. She can write songs, compose music, practice medicine, and control bugs, snakes, and ants. Honestly, if you told me she could fly, I’d believe it.]

[Honestly, who even knows anymore.]

Meanwhile, the comments about Timothy’s hit–and–run and his attempt to dodge justice were a whole different vibe.

[Is this for real? Is Timothy really that much of a monster? He killed an entire family, including a baby, and then said something so heartless it’s beyond words.]

[I heard about this, but it never really blew up. Probably because it never made it out of Benwig City.]

[The accident happened late at night on a pretty deserted road, so there weren’t many witnesses. You know how it goes–easy for them to sweep it under the rug, and that’s exactly what they did.]

[If this is true, Timothy is a total monster. Even death by a thousand cuts wouldn’t be enough for him.]

[Yeah, since both the husband and wife were only children, their parents refused to forgive or settle. They kept trying to take it to court, but nobody would hear their case. Two of the grandparents died from grief and depression.]

[Oh my god, as I get older, I really can’t handle news like this.]

[If you have kids, this kind of news hits even harder.]

[Yesterday, they exposed the dirt on Brightstar Entertainment’s Chasing the Dream cast, and today it’s Gale Entertainment’s chairman’s son getting dragged through the mud. These scandals are just dogs biting dogs.]

[Rumor has it, Timothy’s just the illegitimate son of the Gale Entertainment chairman. Turns out, he and Lexi only share a dad. They’re half–siblings.]

[Whoa. Didn’t expect there’d be another bombshell.]

[Did you guys hear? Timothy got shot in the head last night.]

[Seriously?]

[I heard Victoria went looking for Timothy last night. With the blackout at Midnight Blue, could it be Victoria was the one who shot him?]

[If that’s true, then no matter why Victoria took out that bastard, it’s honestly pretty damn satisfying.]

[What’s so satisfying about that? He killed an entire family.]

[Thing is, there’s still no evidence Timothy was the one who killed that family. All we can do is hope justice finds him somehow.]

In the Turner family, Timothy was fuming. “Damn it. Victoria, I’m going to kill you.”

After being rushed to the hospital last night to stop the bleeding, he’d been throwing a fit to go home in the middle of the night.

When he woke up early that morning, his mom pointed out the trending topic about him online.

Seeing all the comments, he lost it and smashed his phone to the floor.

The phone screen was spiderwebbed with cracks.

Ophelia glanced over but didn’t bother with it. She just blew on her bowl of oatmeal, scooped up a spoonful,

and gently held it to Timothy’s lips. “I wanted you to see the news, not lose your mind over it.”

Timothy turned his face away, refusing to eat. “Mom, not only did Victoria shoot me in the head, but now the internet’s blowing up about that hit–and–run. If this isn’t her doing, I’ll drop the Turner name.”

Ophelia’s eyes darkened. “Oh? So what would you call yourself then?”

Timothy was stunned, not expecting his mom to snap like that. He looked aggrieved. “Mom, I’m just pissed off. I got shot in the head, and you’re not even going to help me deal with Victoria?”

Ophelia set the bowl down. “Of course I want to help you deal with Victoria, but how?

“She went after you with Nathan watching, and now she’s even trashed Midnight Blue’s reputation. Do you really think we have what it takes to go up against her?”

“So what, Mom? You mean I just have to put up with this?” Timothy asked, his voice tinged with both anger and frustration.

Ophelia let out a deep sigh, looking at her son. “Put up with it? You really have no idea how bad things have gotten.”

Timothy noticed his mom’s expression darken, and his heart sank. He hurriedly asked, “What do you mean, Mom?”

Ophelia reached out and gently touched the bandage wrapped around Timothy’s head, her movements slow and gentle, like she was searching for the right words to explain just how complicated things had gotten.

After a while, she finally spoke, her voice low. “If Victoria’s already exposed your hit–and–run from two years ago, it means she might have the evidence to get you locked up.”

Timothy’s face went ghost–white, eyes wide in disbelief. “No way. Dad paid off everyone. He wiped all the security footage and bought out every dashcam from the cars that were there. There’s no way any evidence is left.”

Ophelia sighed. “I wish that were true, but no secret stays buried forever. It just depends if someone’s got the skills to dig it up. And Victoria? She’s got the skills and guts to pull it off.”

“Mom, are you really hyping up that bitch Victoria?” Timothy snapped, pissed off his mom would say that right in front of him.

Ophelia looked at her son helplessly. “You still don’t get it, do you? Victoria’s not just some random girl. Even Nathan’s probably got to rethink his whole game plan because of her.”

Ophelia let out another heavy sigh. “Timothy, you need to leave the country for a while and keep your head down. As for when you can come back, just wait until your father and I say it’s safe.”
