Chapter 373

“My mom…” Curtis reacted, his voice tense.

“What do you mean, my mom almost died?” he cried out in surprise.

“See for yourself,” Victoria said, turning and walking out of the room.

Curtis felt a wave of dread. He jumped up, reaching for his slippers, but then spotted his mom, Julia, sitting on the floor by the door.

“Mom…” Curtis called softly.

He was about to ask his mom what happened, but then he noticed there were other people outside the door.

There was a woman dressed in black, with an icy expression.

And a tall, burly man in black.

And his father, Darell, was lying on the floor with a wounded shoulder.

Curtis felt a chill run down his spine, forgot about his slippers, and hurried straight to Julia.

“Mom, what happened? Why is Dad hurt? Who are those two?” Curtis asked, his voice shaky with worry.

Julia looked at Curtis like she’d lost all hope, her eyes dull and lifeless. She ignored his questions and asked instead, “Curtis, did you have anything to do with what your dad did?”

Seeing his mom looking like she’d lost all hope, Curtis froze. “Mom…what’s wrong?”

“Tell me! Were you involved in what happened tonight?” Julia grabbed Curtis’s arms, her voice raw and almost screaming.

Curtis was startled, looking lost. “What…what happened?”

Julia gripped him even tighter, her eyes wide, full of resentment and disbelief. “Your dad sent someone to kill me!”

Curtis’s eyes went wide with shock. “Mom, what do you mean? Dad tried to have

you killed?!”

Julia let out a long sigh, her grip on Curtis loosening. She collapsed on the floor, completely deflated.

It seemed that at least this son of hers had not known about it.

Julia gave a bitter laugh, glancing at Victoria. “I can’t believe it… You really weren’t lying to me. My husband actually wanted me dead.”

Victoria leaned against the wall, watching the scene unfold with icy indifference. She gave a cold laugh. “We’ve never spent a single day as mother and daughter, but we’ve known each other for a while. Think about it— have I ever played dirty against your family?”

Hearing this, Curtis finally snapped out of it. Now it was his turn to grab Julia’s arm. “Mom, what are you talking about? How could Dad send someone to kill you? Why would he do that?”

Julia was so heartbroken that she could barely speak. She slowly pried Curtis’s fingers off her arm and pointed at Darell. “Go ask your dad. Why does he want me dead?”

Darell was suffering, the pain in his body and the fact that his plan had been exposed, hitting him at the same time. His face was twisted, caught between pain and fury.

‘How could I have failed?‘ Darell thought, unable to accept it.

Victoria stopped Curtis as he was about to go over. “I suggest you wait until Grandpa and the others get here before you ask. Otherwise, your dad will just have to explain everything all over again.”

Curtis stopped in his tracks, turning to Victoria with a dazed look. He opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally just said, “Okay.”

Victoria added, “Oh, and bring Simon over too. Your family should all be here for this.”

Curtis paused, then walked back to Julia, helped her up, and sat her down on the bed. Only then did he pull out his phone and call Simon.

It was late, so it took a while for Simon to pick up.

“Hello?” Simon’s voice was hoarse and annoyed, clearly woken up.

“Simon, something happened to Mom and Dad. You need to come home,” Curtis said.

“What happened? Is it serious?” Simon’s voice was suddenly wide awake.

“It’s serious. Vickie’s here too. Just come over and you’ll see for yourself,” Curtis said.

“Alright, I’ll be there right away,” Simon replied.

Victoria walked over to Darell and did a quick job of stopping the bleeding from his wound.

Darell endured the pain, his fearful expression showing a glimmer of hope. “Victoria, you…”

Victoria didn’t even look up, her tone dripping with disgust. “Don’t even think about it. You’d better stay conscious until Grandpa and the others arrive.”

Darell’s throat tightened, and fear crept back into his eyes.

After taking care of Darell’s wound, Victoria wiped the blood off her hands and walked back to Jackson, who had been watching from the doorway.

Jackson tore his gaze away from the Zarovnian hitman, who was pinned under Mara’s foot, and turned to look at Mara instead.

“Vickie, is she your friend?” Jackson asked.

Victoria thought for a moment. “Sort of”

Honestly, Victoria and Mara weren’t really friends–they were more like battle buddies.

“What’s up?” Victoria asked.

Jackson shook his head. “It’s nothing. I just didn’t expect her to handle that Zarovnian hitman on her own and actually win.”

Victoria nodded. “Yeah, Mara’s seriously impressive.”

Mara was the top fighter in the organization. She was the real deal, all skill and strength.

Victoria, on the other hand, wasn’t much of a brawler herself. She mostly relied on silver needles or sneak attacks with poisonous bugs and snakes.

Honestly, without Mara as her second–in–command, Victoria never could’ve built her organization, let alone turned it into the largest syndicate in the country.

Victoria’s martial arts, leadership, and execution skills are absolutely top–tier–world–class, no doubt about it.

“What’s up? Are you interested in Mara? Don’t tell me you’re trying to poach her from me. You already have Ollie, remember?” Victoria teased.

Ollie felt speechless.

Jackson chuckled, keeping her in suspense. “Nope, not that. I’ll tell you after we deal with Darell.” Victoria raised an eyebrow. ‘Well, well, looks like Jack’s really learning to play sly these days, she thought. Ten minutes later, Daisy, Hector, and Calvin arrived at the location Victoria had given them.

On the way, Calvin got a quick rundown from Hector about what was going on.

So, here’s the deal:

Darell had teamed up with the Clark family to try to kill his own wife, planning to frame Victoria for it.

First, Darell had someone kidnap his wife, then he caused a scene at Victoria’s birthday party–all to make it look like Victoria was behind his wife’s murder.

Of course, all of this was just Victoria’s theory.

But Calvin knew that Darell was totally capable of pulling something like this.

After all, he’d already kidnapped Hector’s wife before.

Honestly, if someone said Darell was trying to get him killed now, Calvin wouldn’t even bat an eye.

As soon as they walked in, Calvin looked heartbroken and furious at Darell, whose wound had already been patched up. “You disgrace! What the hell happened here?”

Victoria walked over with her arms crossed. “Darell, are you going to spill it yourself, or should we let your Zarovnian hitman do the talking for you?”

Curtis, who had been in the room with Julia, came out when he heard the commotion. He looked at Darell. “Dad, just say it! I want to hear it straight from you. What happened tonight?”

Darell kept his mouth shut, refusing to say a word.

The hitman, unable to kill himself and unwilling to rat out Nathan, just sneered, “Your dad hired me to kill your mom. That’s all there is to it.”

“Bullshit! You were hired by Nathan!” Darell, knowing his plan was ruined, glared at the hitman with bloodshot eyes. “You useless piece of shit! How could you fail? Weren’t you supposed to be some top–tier hitman Nathan brought in, with a 100% success rate? And you couldn’t even take down a woman? You’re a total joke…”

“Annoying,” Victoria muttered, her brows furrowing in irritation.

Mara, standing nearby, gave Darell a swift kick without a second thought, sending him sprawling to the floor.
