There was no way she could be happy about this.

Of course, unless Jackson was still willing to marry her, that’d be a wor different oney.

But that was never going to happen.

Ollie had never seen Jackson make a move on any wood besides Feud With her Be woo downright bold–sometimes even over the top.

Angelica quickly forced a smile, “Of course I’m happy. If Victoria can really our your leg fize would honestly make me happiest

Jackson gave her a mocking half–smile, “Yeah, I can see how happy you are for me

Angelica had the feeling Jackson was hinting at something, and her stille tuned a hut awkward

Luckily, Simon had just parked the car and was limping over. When he saw Jackson, he institarinely felt a bit intimidated. He couldn’t help it. Even his greeting was tinged with respect

“Jackson, you’re here for dinner too?” Simon asked

Jackson nodded at him, giving a cool, noncommittal “Mm”

Curtis frowned, clearly annoyed by Jackson’s cold auitude.

“Why is everyone just standing at the door? The private room’s already booked. Since we’re here, let’s just go in and was, Oliver said as he walked over

Angelica glanced at Jackson again, but seeing he had no intention of continuing the conversation, she said, “Alright, Jackson, we’ll go in ahead?

Jackson nodded with a calm, indifferent tone. “Okay”

Oliver glanced at Jackson and realized this must be Jackson, the man Victoria had married in Angelica’s place,

He was top–tier in both looks and presence,

It was a pity his legs were crippled, but maybe Victoria could cure him.

With that thought, Oliver strode into the restaurant,

Curtis followed behind, but as he walked away, he shot Jackson a look and snorted in annoyance, “Jackson was always cold to our family when he was engaged to Angelica. Now that his legs are crippled, what’s he got to be so stuck–up about?”

Simon hissed under his breath, “Curtis, watch your mouth.”

He honestly had no idea if Jackson’s legs could really be cured. If Victoria’s medical skills were as good as she claimed, maybe she wasn’t just bragging. Perhaps she could actually get Jackson back on his feet.

If that happened, Jackson would still be the top candidate to inherit the Thornton family.

If they offended Jackson now, they would be screwed if his legs ever got better.

Curtis waved it off. “Come on, Simon, what are you so worried about? You really think he’s still that big shot he used to be? Now he’s just a cripple. Who knows if he’ll even get a shot at inheriting the Thornton family.”

Simon replied, dead serious, “Didn’t you notice at Victoria’s welcome party? Gerry isn’t ready to cut

him loose.”

Curtis snorted, “Maybe he won’t give up after a month or two, but if Jackson’s legs are still busted in six months, you really think Gerry’s gonna keep backing him? Even if Gerry wants to, the rest of the Thornton family won’t give him a chance.”

Angelica spoke up, “Curtis, Simon’s right. Let’s be careful. You heard Jackson say it himself. Victoria can cure his legs.”

Oliver paused mid–step, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. ‘If Victoria herself said she could pull it off, then Jackson’s legs are definitely getting fixed,‘ he thought.

Curtis scoffed, “The Thornton family brought in top doctors from all over the world for Jackson this past month, and not a single one dared to guarantee they could fix his legs. You really think Victoria, some country doctor, can pull it off?

“If you guys believe that, go ahead, but I sure don’t. She’s just hyping herself up to marry Jackson. Once she’s married, it’s a done deal. Even if she can’t cure him, so what? She’ll still be Mrs.

Thornton.”

Of course, Angelica hoped Curtis was right too.

She’d waited a whole month, only giving up on the engagement with Jackson when she was sure his legs were beyond saving.

If Jackson’s legs really did get better and Victoria got lucky for nothing. Angelica would end up the laughingstock of Benwig City’s high society.

Oliver suddenly stopped, and Curtis, not paying attention, bumped right into him.

Curtis rubbed his nose and shot Oliver an annoyed look. “Why’d you stop so suddenly?”

Oliver turned back to look at Curtis.

Curtis was about to snap back, but when he caught the icy look in Oliver’s eyes, the words died in his throat.

“Curtis, you really ought to listen to your brother and sister. Seriously, watch your mouth,” Oliver said coolly.

Curtis was stunned.

Oliver pushed open the door to the private room and walked in.

As Curtis was about to say something, Angelica quickly grabbed his arm. “Curtis, we need his help right now. Just hold your tongue for now, alright?”

Curtis didn’t want to make things harder for Angelica, so he swallowed his retort.

Not long after Angelica and her brothers walked into the restaurant, Victoria arrived.

Jackson watched as the manager from Mimiburg came out to greet her in person. With obvious respect, he took her keys and went to park her car himself.

As Victoria turned and walked over, Jackson raised an eyebrow and asked with a hint of curiosity, “You got connections with the boss here?”

Victoria flashed a bright smile and replied honestly, “I’m actually a shareholder. This is Stephan’s place.”

Jackson was momentarily stunned and then broke into a doting, admiring smile. “Vickie, how many secrets are you still hiding from me?”

Victoria grinned back, her tone playful. “No rush. You’ve got plenty of time to get to know me.”

Watching the two of them share that smile, Ollie felt more and more like he was just extra. If he could, he’d rather turn into a soulless wheelchair. At least then he wouldn’t have to feel anything.

Once they were inside the private room, Curtis casually pulled out a chair and plopped down. He immediately shot a look at Oliver across the table and asked bluntly, “So, there’s nothing about

Curtis smarked, ‘Sounds to me like you’re just pretending to know Viera so you can cozy up to Angelica, or maybe you’re just after the 150 thousand dollars my brother’s offering, That’s enougs to buy you two care?

Angelica put on a mock angry face, “Curtis, how can you say that about Oliver? He’s pretty well- known in the webnovel world, and he’s made a lot of money from his books over the years. He wouldn’t stoop to scamming me for 150 thousand dollars?

Curtis quickly put on a smile and tried to smooth things over. “Angelica, don’t be mad. If he really knows Viara, that’s great. I was just curious, you know? But he kept dodging the question, so I couldn’t help but get suspicious?

“Alright, Curtis, that’s enough” Simon scolded, then turned to Oliver with an apologetic look “My brother’s always been pretty blunt. He just says whatever pops into his head. Don’t mind him.”

After that, Simon checked the time. It was already noon, and Viara still hadn’t arrived. He looked a bit worried. “Why don’t you call Viara and ask when she’s coming?”
