“She’s just a woman, she doesn’t stand a chance against me!”
Victoria gave a wry smile. I’m a woman too, and I still sent my father to prison.
Gavin said, “That’s different. Sophie can’t compare to you!”
Victoria rolled her eyes. “You’ve got some nerve saying that. Sophie is way better than you. In fact, she’s better than most of those rich boys in Benwig City.
“Honestly, the fact that Sophie can even put up with you just shows how big her heart is.
“Gavin, since we used to date, let me offer you a piece of advice. Stop stirring up trouble and stay with the Fairbank family. Out of guilt, your father and Sophie will make sure you’re well taken care of.”
With that, Victoria hung up and blocked him again without hesitation.
But before she could even catch her breath, another unknown number popped up on her screen.
Victoria picked up, already annoyed. “Gavin, you’re seriously getting on my nerves…”
“Victoria, it’s me, Zachary,” came the voice on the other end.
‘Oh? Zachary?‘ Victoria thought, a hint of surprise flickering in her mind.
“Tomorrow’s your big walk on livestream, so what’s got you calling me tonight?” Victoria mocked. “Victoria, just name your price. As long as you back out of the bet, I’m willing to pay whatever you ask,” Zachary said. Victoria let out a mocking laugh and tossed out a figure without even thinking. “3 billion dollars,” she said. Zachary’s voice shot up in disbelief. “3 billion dollars? Victoria, are you out of your mind? That’s highway robbery!”
Victoria switched her phone to speaker and tossed it to the far side of the bed. “And you’ve got the guts to act all high and mighty, asking me how much I want? If you can’t even cough up 3 billion dollars, don’t call me and make a fool of yourself. “Victoria, I’m being sincere, I really want to work with you!” Zachary said.
“So am I. Either you give me 3 billion dollars, or you accept your fate,” Victoria said.
She propped herself up against the headboard, hearing Zachary take a deep breath on the other end.
After a long pause, Zachary finally said, “What if… I work with you to take on Nathan?”
Victoria raised an eyebrow. “Oh? So Nathan’s loyal mutt is thinking about betraying his boss now?”
“Do you have to be so mean?” Zachary complained.
“Just calling it like it is,” Victoria replied coolly. “Go on, what can you offer me?”
Zachary paused for a moment, then asked, “Can you actually guarantee my safety?”
Victoria joked, “Ha, I thought you just wanted me to skip parading you around like a dog on livestream.
Zachary muttered, “Well, if that’s even an option…“
Victoria cut in, “Of course not. I already built anticipation online. If I suddenly canceled the livestream, my reputation

Victoria replied: [What? You haven’t figured it out yet?]
Zachary texted almost instantly: [Of course I did, that’s why I’m freaking out. Is it a bomb?]
Victoria raised an eyebrow as she replied: [Looks like you’re not completely dumb after all.]
