Queen Of Revenge And Glory (Victoria and Jackson) novel Chapter 351

The policeman by her side snickered, “It doesn’t matter whose side you’re on. If you’re sentenced to death, you’re just another soul for the reaper to collect.”

How did things turn out his way? I used to be so glamorous, holding the fate of so many girls in my hands. But now, I’m about to die. Why? Mrs. Tooth thought bitterly.

It all traced back to twenty years ago, when her mother, a trafficker, abducted the biological younger brother of Jackson from the Thornton family. Mrs. Tooth, at her wits end, cried out in despair, “Mom, you screwed me over so bad!”

Victoria turned off the video of Mrs. Tooth’s trial. Great, she thought to herself. She had dealt with several of Nathan’s henchmen. The only one left was Zachary, who was no threat at all.

The reason she made that bet with him was to set an example for the others. She was dead set on taking down the Clark family.

But before she could take down the Clark family, she had to get rid of Angelica first. If Angelica wanted to take Mrs. Tooth’s place and work for Nathan, she would just be following Mrs. Tooth’s footsteps, ending up on death row.

But before any of that… With that in mind, Victoria dialed Mara’s number. “Mara, have someone find out how Angelica got involved with Nathan again,” Victoria said.

“Okay,” Mara said.

At Bellemont Talent Training Center, Angelica glanced at the timid girl who had been newly brought in and asked, “How old are you?”

The girl answered timidly, “I just turned eighteen last month.”

Angelica smiled. “Good. At this age, picking up new skills comes quickly.”

“I’m thinking of learning the keyboard. Is it really free of charge?” the girl asked, still sounding timid.

Angelica replied, “It’s free, but we teach piano here, not the electronic keyboard. You’ll get lessons from a professional piano teacher here.”

“Thank you… In my current job, I can get a raise of 300 dollars for one talent,” the girl said, full of anticipation, but quickly added somewhat nervously, “What do I need to give in return?”

Angelica smiled. “You just need to focus on learning the piano. Once you’ve made some progress and go out on your own, recommend our organization to other girls who might need it.

“Our boss is a kind–hearted person; the main goal is to help girls stuck in difficult situations break free from the hardships of their family backgrounds.”

The girl’s eyes lit up, and she nodded enthusiastically. “Okay”

“Bring her to the instructor assigned to her.” Angelica instructed. Just as the girl left, the smile on Angelica’s face vanished completely.

She took out her phone and, seeing the overwhelming flood of praise for Victoria online and fans‘ birthday wishes, she was so furious she nearly crushed the phone.

From midnight last night until now, she hadn’t received a single birthday wish. In the past, every birthday, she was surrounded and admired by many, like stars surrounding the moon.

Almost every heiress or rich kid in Benwig City who was connected to her would send their birthday wishes, no exceptions. But now, not a single one.

Suddenly, she saw someone had tagged her in the E.C.E. Saga group chat. ‘Is someone sending me a birthday wish?‘ she wondered.

She quickly tapped in, only to see that it was Annie who had tagged her, and she had also tagged the group admin.

Annie: [Let’s kick Angelica out; she’s not even a Binder anymore. She’s qualified to be in this group.]

Angelica was so furious; she wanted to drag Annie off the screen and smack her. But soon, the group admin dropped an “okay‘ meme in the chat. And not long after, Angelica received the notification that she had been removed from the group.

She clenched her hand, mustered up her courage, and dialed Nathan’s number.

Angelica: [Hey, Mr. Clark, it’s my birthday today. Got anything special for me?]

Not long after, her phone started ringing. To her surprise, it was Nathan calling. Angelica was over the moon; she forced herself to calm down before picking up. She answered in her softest voice, “Mr. Clark.”

She had expected him to wish her a happy birthday, but instead Nathan tore into her, his anger barely contained. “Angelica, let me make this clear. You’re not a Binder anymore. You don’t even know if today’s your real birthday, and you still want to celebrate?

“Mrs. Tooth’s gone, and I didn’t put you in her place so you could act like some spoiled princess. If you’ve got time to spare, use it to finish her work, or figure out how to make Victoria’s life hell! Don’t forget, it’s Victoria who got you into this mess!”

“Sorry, I’m sorry, Mr. Clark. I get it,” Angelica stammered, her initial grievances turning into guilt. “I won’t let you down, not after you saved my life.”

After hanging up, Angelica slapped herself hard across the face, thinking, ‘Mr. Clark taught me a good lesson. How could I still have the leisure to think about my birthday? What I should be doing now is seeking revenge and making Victoria fall into utter, irreversible ruin!‘

The burning pain on her cheek snapped Angelica out of it, clearing her mind like a splash of ice–cold water. Nathan’s words lashed at her like a whip, tearing apart the last scraps of weakness and wishful thinking inside her.

‘Birthdays? That belongs to the old Angelica, a dumb, naive loser Victoria had wrapped around her finger. Now I’m Nathan’s weapon of revenge, Mrs. Tooth’s successor, and Victoria’s living nightmare, she thought to herself.

“Victoria… Angelica muttered, chewing over the name, her eyes flashing with a hatred that cut to the bone. You ruined my everything, my position, my identity, even my birthday…

Now it’s your turn to plummet from the heights. Your birthday party? I’ll make sure it’s a ‘celebration‘ you’ll remember for the rest of your life!‘

She took a deep breath and swiftly wiped away the last traces of tears from the corners of her eyes. Her expression turned cold and sharp as she started scheming ways to wreck Victoria’s birthday party tonight.

‘One option is to target the birthday gifts. Another is to target the food. A third is to target the venue. Overall, going after the food seems to be the most effective way to escalate the situation and cause the biggest stir, she thought.

Moreover, after staying twenty–one years with the Binder family, she knew the kitchen staff inside out. If she wanted to mess with tonight’s party by adding something to the food, she could easily pull it off.

She immediately began to think it through, and a plan that could ruin Victoria in full public view quickly took shape in her mind. Thereafter, she called Nathan again and shared her plan.

“Mr. Clark. I need something colorless and tasteless that’ll give people a nasty stomachache for a while, ideally, with a delayed kick. I’ll find a way to bribe some people in the Binder family’s kitchen and get them to mix it into the food,” she said.

“Alright. I’ll handle the drug. Nathan said. “That’s what I want to see. From now on, keep your mind on these things; forget about your days as Ms. Binder. That’s over.”

“I understand. I’ll do everything I can to help you, Mr. Clark,” Angelica replied. After hanging up, she quickly called the person in charge of the Binder family’s kitchen.

When the call connected. Angelica said, “This is Angelica. Want to make money you’d never make in your whole life? Help me with something, and I’ll pay you 600 thousand dollars once it’s done.”
