Queen Of Revenge And Glory (Victoria and Jackson) novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92

Victoria slowly pulled her hand back, a teasing smile playing on her lipe Simon do per sedly think I owe you an explanation for anything I do?”

Simon was trembling with rage at Victoria’s arrogant attitude. Ffis fiere clenched so tightly distu knuckles turned white. “Victoria, don’t push me too far. Keep this up, and I swear I’ll take you downs with me, even if it means destroying us both.”

Victoria burst out laughing, as if she’d just heard the funniest joke in the world. Oh reallys You sound so righteous.

“If you care so much about what I might do to Curtis, then why did you just help me get your m out of the way? Let’s be real. You’re just scared for your own life?

Simon’s face twisted with humiliation, turning from red to pale as Victoria’s blunt words hit him right where it hurt.

His lips trembled as he tried to come up with a comeback, but nothing came out

Victoria’s grin grew even sharper as she watched Simon squirm. “So stop acting all brace in from of me. If you don’t have the nerve to risk it all, then quit talking big when I’m around

With those words, she slipped out the window with cat–like agility, vanishing from Simon’s view in

a flash.

Simon’s fists clenched in shame and frustration. After a long, heavy silence, he finally turned to look at Curtis lying on the hospital bed.

Whatever Victoria just did, it definitely wasn’t anything good.

Simon said, “I’m sorry, Curtis. You know the situation I’m in. Victoria poisoned me, and right now. I’m barely hanging on myself, so I have no choice but to do what she says.

“If she really did something to hurt you and I couldn’t stop it, all I can do is apologize. But don’t worry. Once I get rid of this poison and break free from her control, if you never wake up, I swear I’ll get revenge for you.”

Suddenly, an idea popped into Simon’s head. With the Binder family in chaos after the car accident, and his aunt, uncle, and Victoria all out of the house, maybe these next few days were the perfect chance to have someone sneak into Goldenwood Villa and steal the antidote.

Lost in his thoughts, Simon didn’t notice Curtis’s eyelashes fluttering on the hospital bed as he finished speaking.

*****

After leaving Curtis’s room, Victoria slipped back into her hospital room through the window.

Just then, the door to her room was suddenly pushed open from the outside

Victoria hadn’t even made it to the bed yet. She turned and thoughs, Thank god, it’s not the new parents–just Jackson

Her nerves instantly relaxed, and she took her time getting back into bed.

Jackson asked, “How are you feeling: Anything bothering you?”

I’m doing great. But what about you? Your leg’s not even fully healed, and you’re already getting into trouble with me. Are you sure you’re okay? Victoria replied.

“I’m good too, Just needed to stretch my legs after being cooped up for so long Jackson said, having Ollie stand guard outside and close the door before wheeling himself into the room. “So, what kind of trouble were you up to just now?”

Victoria sighed, “Jack, you always see right through me. It’s getting impossible to tease you anymore.”

Jackson laughed, “Hey, when you need me to play along, I can pretend to be clueless”

Victoria sighed, “You know what they say. Sometimes being too clever backfires. But…”

She paused, then flashed a grin. “Honestly, I still like smart guys best.”

After those two months with Gavin and then the sudden breakup, she was even more convinced that if two people weren’t moving at the same pace, there was no way it would last.

“I just went to see Curtis,” Victoria said, keeping her voice calm and casual.

Jackson nodded, getting it right away. “I heard he might be out for good.”

“Yeah, so… I tweaked his brain a bit. He’s conscious now, just can’t move,” Victoria admitted, not bothering to sugarcoat it.

Jackson caught on instantly. “So you want Curtis to be able to catch things he’d never notice if he were actually awake, while he’s stuck looking like he’s in a coma.”

Victoria nodded, “Yeah, I want Curtis to realize firsthand how the adopted sister he always doted on -even at my expense–ended up betraying him right under his nose.”

There was no way she could just let it go after being tossed aside by her own parents and brother. Anyone would feel bitter about that.

But she’d never lower herself or play nice just to earn back their shallow, worthless affection.

She was determined to make them regret it.

And she would never forgive them.

“Looks like we’re both victims of family betrayal–misery loves company, Victoria said with a wry smile.

Jackson just shrugged it off. “Having you is all I need.”

“Aren’t you worried I might turn on you someday?” Victoria joked.

“You won’t,” Jackson replied, dead serious.

Victoria laughed. “I won’t stab you in the back, but I might just mess with you right to your face…

She stretched out the words, taking her time before finally finishing, “Bully you.”

Then she strolled right up to Jackson and reached out to touch that ridiculously good–looking face of his.

As she ran her fingers over his face, she teased, “Seriously, this face is way too handsome. I swear, I’m gonna kiss it so much, it’ll be ruined.”

Jackson’s eyes were full of fond amusement as he replied, “Why wait? You can start kissing it to pieces right now.”

Victoria grinned, “Yeah, after everything we’ve been through, I totally deserve to let myself go wild for once.”

Saying that, she leaned in, aiming to steal a kiss right on Jackson’s ridiculously handsome face.

But just as she was about to kiss him, the door swung open, and Ollie’s voice came from the hallway. “Mr. Thornton, your father and Cassian are here.”

Only then did Ollie notice the room was filled with an intimate vibe.

Ollie instantly felt awkward.

Victoria stopped, straightened up, and teased, “Jack, looks like I’ll have to save kissing you senseless

for another time.”

Jackson just sighed quietly.

Even though Jackson didn’t say a word, just seeing his back made Ollie nervous. He was caught between a rock and a hard place–closing the door would be weird, but leaving it open felt just as

awkward.

“Guess I’ll have to blame my dad and Cassian for ruining the moment,” Jackson said, rolling his eyes as he wheeled himself out of Victoria’s room.

Ollie, still standing at the door, put his hands together in a sorry gesture toward Victoria before finally closing the door.

Cassian nodded meekly, still obedient. “Got it”

Chapter 93

Julia wanted to refuse, but her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. She just couldn’t keep them open any longer. She nodded, even though she didn’t really want to.

“Alright, but you have to keep a close eye on Curtis. Talk to him, do your best to wake him up. He’s always been good to you, so don’t let all his kindness go to waste,” Julia said.

“Of course, Mom. I’ll take good care of Curtis,” Angelica replied sweetly.

“I’m going to get some rest. Once I’m feeling better tomorrow, I’ll go settle the score with Victoria.” Julia said, her voice full of anger. Just the mention of Victoria made her want to strangle her.

Angelica nodded gently. “Take care, Mom.”

Julia yawned, massaged her back, and slowly dragged her tired body out of the room.

Angelica walked Julia to the door, made sure she got in the elevator, then closed the door and slowly made her way to the bed. She sat down and gazed at Curtis, who lay there with his eyes closed.

She whispered, “Curtis? Can you hear me? The doctors said if we talk to you enough, you might just wake up.

“Back then, I would have been desperate for you to wake up, Curtis. But now, honestly, I kind of hope you never wake up. You know why?

“Because you actually had people investigate me. Curtis, why did you have me investigated? Is it because you don’t trust me anymore? Am I not your sister to you now?

“If you ever found out that, before Victoria came back, I actually had someone try to assault her and film it, just so I could use it to threaten her later, would you be disappointed in me?

“But I really had no choice. I didn’t want Victoria to come back and take away all the affection you and the family have for me, or even get me kicked out of the Binder family.

“Turns out I was right. See, Victoria really can’t stand me. You used to be my sharpest blade against her, but now that blade is pointed at me. That’s something I just can’t accept.”

As Angelica spoke with heartfelt emotion, she reached into her bag and revealed a small syringe cleverly disguised inside a lipstick tube.

She gently pressed the plunger, and two drops of clear liquid beaded at the sharp tip of the needle.

Then, she aimed the needle at the vein in Curtis’s elbow, slowly pushing the plunger until every last drop of the drug entered his bloodstream. Only then did she pull the needle out.

Finally, she tucked the tiny syringe back into the lipstick tube, pretending to look torn and reluctant as she spoke. “Curtis, this shot will keep you knocked out for good.
