[I want you to play a supporting role in my series, Chasing the Dream. You’ll be working with Brian. What do you think? Interested?]

As soon as Victoria dropped her comment, sharp–eyed fans caught it right away. Some folks thought it was a troll account at first, but when they checked the profile, it turned out it was really her.

Her comment instantly blew up, shooting to the top of the hot list, and everyone started flooding the replies.

[Holy crap! What’s going on here? Does Victoria seriously not know about the whole thing between Brian and Ashley? And she’s still asking Ashley to join Chasing the Dream?]

[No way she doesn’t know; she’s totally doing this on purpose! As I said, she’s not exactly a saint. She’s just here to stir things up for Ashley!]

Victoria didn’t bother with the replies and DMs from Ashley’s fans. Instead, she went back to her own X account and posted a new invitation to Ashley on X.

[I want you to play a supporting role in my series, Chasing the Dream. You’ll be working with Brian. What do you think? Interested?]

This post blew up even more, sparking a massive wave of discussion online. Ashley’s fans stormed Victoria’s X post, flooding it with angry comments.

[What’s your deal, seriously? Don’t think being a spoiled heiress means we won’t call you out!]

[Everyone knows Brian betrayed Ashley. Are you just playing dumb now?]

[Having a big shot backing you really changes things! I’m about to become a Jackson anti!]

[Victoria, what’s going on in your head? You chose Brian because of public opinion, and as your fan, I wanted to support you. But you know Brian did Ashley dirty; why are you messing with her and rubbing salt in her wounds?]

[Enough with the hate, I believe in Victoria’s choices!]

Not long after, Tracy knocked on the door and came in, looking anxious. “Ms. Binder, you

Victoria replied, “Yeah, this is one way to set the record straight.”

Tracy hesitated, then kept telling herself to stay calm. Just trust Ms. Binder, just trust her. This is nothing we can’t handle!‘

“Alright, as long as you know what you’re doing, Ms. Binder,” Tracy said.

Victoria’s public invitation on X set off a firestorm online, and the buzz just kept snowballing; things were getting crazier by the minute.

Meanwhile, Ashley stayed completely quiet all day. No posts, no comments, nothing; she didn’t respond at all.

Victoria had already made up her mind to show up at Ashley’s place the next day, but on her way home from work, she got a call from an unknown number. For once, it wasn’t Gavin; this time, it was Ashley on the line.

“Ms. Binder? This is Ashley Rivera,” Ashley said.

Victoria tapped the brakes, slowing her car. “Speaking.”

“About you wanting me to join Chasing the Dream, I’d like to talk face–to–face. Can we meet tonight?” Ashley asked. Her voice was soft, gentle, and cautious.

Victoria replied. “Of course. Since I’m the one inviting you, it’s only fair that I show some sincerity. Where do you want to meet?”

“How about Mimiburg?” Ashley suggested.

“Sounds good, I can head there right now,” Victoria said.

“Alright,” Ashley replied.

After hanging up, Victoria called Daisy to let her know she wouldn’t be home for dinner, then changed direction and drove straight to Mimiburg.

As soon as Victoria arrived at Mimiburg, the manager personally greeted her and said, “Ms. Rivera is waiting for you in the Prosperity Suite.”

“Alright,” Victoria replied. She headed upstairs, pushed open the door to the Prosperity Suite, and saw Ashley sitting inside.

Ashley wore a deep blue coat that set off her complexion. Her features were refined and striking, with well- shaped brows and slightly upturned eyes that carried a sharp, perceptive look. She moved with quiet poise, her presence calm and composed, exuding an understated elegance.

When Ashley saw Victoria, she stood up and gave her a slight nod, then sat down with her. “Ms. Binder, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Ashley said, sliding the menu over to Victoria.

Victoria glanced at Ashley’s earrings, and with her sharp intuition, she realized this meeting wasn’t really Ashley’s idea; someone else was definitely eavesdropping on their conversation.

As for who it was, it had to be the person Brian mentioned; the one who was forcing Ashley into a kept relationship. And he was also the one backing the Clark family.

Victoria still couldn’t figure out why they chose Mimiburg for this meeting. ‘Do they know this is my turf, or is

Victoria kept her cool, glanced away, picked up the menu, and casually ordered a couple of dishes. Then she said, “So, straight up, are you interested or not?”

“Ms. Binder. I honestly don’t get why you’d come to me,” Ashley said, curiosity in her eyes. “You must’ve seen all the drama blowing up on X.

“Things between Brian and me are messy, and because of this, all the goodwill song is probably about to go down the drain.”

Victoria just smiled, totally unbothered. “That’s exactly why it’s blowing up! If you join Chasing the Dream, I can promise it’ll be the biggest hit in the industry right now.”

Ashley frowned slightly and pressed, “Is that really the only reason?”

Victoria nodded. “Of course. I’m a businesswoman; business is about maximizing benefits. So, I want you to work with me, put aside your issues with Brian, and make a post on X clarifying that what happened between you two was just a misunderstanding.”

Ashley looked at Victoria, thinking for a moment before saying, “So that’s what this is really about. You want me to help clear things up for Brian, right?”

Victoria admitted it without hesitation. “That’s right.”

After hearing Victoria’s answer, Ashley lowered her gaze, quietly pondering her options. Victoria wasn’t in any rush. She poured herself a drink, drank it leisurely, and leaned back in her chair, keeping her eyes on Ashley.

After a moment, Ashley looked up and said, “Okay, I can work with you.”

Victoria smiled. “Ms. Rivera, I like how decisive you are.” It was pretty obvious that Ashley only agreed to work with her because someone behind the scenes told her to.

“But I have one condition,” Ashley said.

Victoria leaned in with a curious smile. “What’s the condition?”

Ashley replied, “Don’t get involved with the Clark family anymore.”

‘So that’s the real motive behind all this?‘ Victoria wondered. ‘Are they afraid I’ll bring down the Clark family and end up implicating them?‘ After all, that person was implicated in the recent bowling alley explosion.

Victoria laughed. “I don’t know why you’re saying this, but the Clark family started the whole mess. If you want me to stay out of their business, they should publicly apologize and make amends.

“Like selling Midnight Blue to me at a bargain price. Otherwise, with the Clark family holding onto it, it’ll probably never get reopened.”

Ashley fell silent again. Victoria glanced at Ashley’s earrings, as if making small talk. “Those earrings are gorgeous, Ms. Rivera.”

Ashley paused, her eyes widening slightly in surprise as she watched Victoria slide her phone across the table. On the screen, it read: [Need my help?]
