Queen Of Revenge And Glory (Victoria and Jackson) novel Chapter 34

At the thought, the corner of Victoria’s lips lifted without her even realizing it.

Everything that Darell’s branch controlled in the Binder family was slowly falling into her hands.

“Alright, Mara. Thanks for your hard work,” she said into the phone.

After hanging up, a trace of amusement lingered in her eyes.

She hadn’t expected things to line up so perfectly. Simon was actually planning to push Brightstar Entertainment to the next level by buying the rights to her final novel and turning it into a hit series.

Too bad for him. That was never going to happen.

Humming softly to herself, Victoria continued sorting the remaining herbs into wooden boxes. Blackie, Whitey, and Greenie stayed close by, wagging their tails as they helped.

They’d done this with her many times before and moved with easy skill. It didn’t take long before everything was neatly sorted and put in place.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

Victoria, are you in there?” Daisy’s gentle voice came from outside.

Yes. I’m here.” Victoria quickly put the boxes back into the cabinet, signaled for the three little snakes to hide, then walked over and opened the door.

The moment Daisy saw Victoria, her face lit up. She grabbed Victoria’s hand and pulled her inside. “The gown I ordered for you just arrived. Come on, try it on and see if it fits.”

Two delivery men followed behind, carefully carrying the evening gown into the room and laying it neatly on the bed.

it was stunning. Every detail showed careful design and fine craftsmanship. Under the light, the fabric shimmered as if it had its own glow, lighting up the entire room.

Okay, Victoria said with a smile.

After the delivery men left, Daisy eagerly helped her change.

Perfect. It fits perfectly. And it’s beautiful Daisy adjusted the fabric here and there, then stepped back to take it all in

She nodded, clearly satisfied, her eyes lingering on Victoria as if she were looking at something priceless. “Tomorrow night, you’ll be the brightest girl there. Everyone will know you’re the Binder family’s real heiress.”

After a pause, she asked gently, “Are you nervous?”

Victoria looked at herself in the mirror, calm and steady. She smiled. “Not at all to her, this was nothing.

What Daisy didn’t know was that Victoria had traveled all over the world. She had attended more parties than she could count, many far grander than this one.

Still, Daisy couldn’t help worrying. “But the welcome party was Angelica’s idea. Now that I’ve seen what she’s really like. Em afraid she and her family might try something tomorrow.

“They might embarrass you in front of everyone. That could affect your reputation.”

Victoria just smiled, completely at ease. “Mom, don’t worry. No matter what they try, I can handle it. And I’ll make sure they et exactly what they deserve.

eeing how calm and confident she was, Daisy felt more at ease. Still, she added softly. “Alright. I trust you. But remember, if hings get too much, you still have your father and me. We’re always on your side.”

Varmth spread through Victoria’s chest. She smiled brightly and nodded. “I know.”

fter that, she looked at herself again in the mirror, a hint of interest flickering in her eyes.

Truthfully, she almost hoped Darell’s family and Angelica would try something at the party. It would make the night a lot nore interesting.

That evening. Jackson had just returned to the Thornton family estate when the butler came to him and said Donald wanted o see him in the main hall.

When Jackson entered, he saw Sibley sitting close to Donald, holding his arm and acting spoiled. “Dad, you promised you’d tand up for me today.”

Don’t worry. I won’t let you be wronged,” Donald said, his voice full of affection. Beside him, Cassian watched Sibley with he same indulgent smile.

ackson took it all in, his eyes darkening slightly.

Donald had never looked at him that way. And yet now, he treated Sibley, an adopted daughter, with such open fondness.

it that moment, Sibley noticed him. “Dad, Jackson’s back.”

The warmth on Donald’s face disappeared at once. He looked toward Jackson, who was being pushed in by Ollie in his wheelchair.

ackson asked first, “Dad, you wanted me here for something?”

Donald nodded. ‘I received an invitation. The Binder family is holding a welcome party tomorrow night. It turns out Angelica isn’t their real daughter. Their true heiress was brought back just a few days ago.”

jackson nodded. Tve heard?

Donald continued, “Calvin came to see me today. He said your marriage arrangement has changed. It’s no longer Angelica, It’s the Binder family’s real daughter.

“What do you think? Do you still want to go through with the marriage or cancel the engagement?”

Before Jackson could answer, Sibley cut in, Isn’t that a little too convenient? Jackson’s legs were crippled just last month, and suddenly, the Binder family found their real daughter and swapped out Angelica.

“Doesn’t it sound like Angelica just doesn’t want to marry him, so they found someone else to take her place? If that’s the case, the Binder family has gone too far.

“Just because Jackson’s legs are crippled now doesn’t mean they get to look down on him”

Her words sounded righteous, but her eyes were full of barely hidden mockery.

After what happened last time, she had been taught a lesson by Jackson. But now that Donald was here, she didn’t believe Jackson would dare shout at her.

Jackson clearly caught the tone beneath her words. His fingers tapped lightly against the armrest of his wheelchair as he looked at het, calm and unreadable.

Cassian spoke up, sounding helpless. “Alright, Sibley. Don’t get so worked up.”

Sibley pouted. Cassian, I just can’t stand how the Binder family is treating Jackson. It’s obvious they’re looking down on him. I think we should cancel the engagement.”

Donald turned to Jackson. “What do you think?”

Jackson smiled faintly. “There’s no need to cancel it. I’m willing to marry the Binder family’s real heiress.”

Donald looked surprised, suspicion flickering in his eyes. “Are you sure?”

Sibley also widened her eyes, pretending to be shocked. “Jackson, I heard the heiress is just a village doctor who sells herbs. She’s nowhere near Angelica.

“Even if your legs are not what they used to be, you don’t have to lower yourself like this.”

She deliberately stressed the part about his legs, trying to get under his skin.

In her eyes, Jackson was no longer the untouchable prodigy he once was. The future heir of the Thornton family would be Cassian

Jackson looked at her thoughtfully. “Sibley, it sounds like you’re not just looking down on her. You’re looking down on me,

100. 100.

Sibley quickly put on a hurt expression. “Jackson, that’s not what I meant. Ever since your legs were injured, you’ve become a bit sensitive.
