On her way to Hamilton Estate, Victoria was brutally attacked by a few strangers, and she couldn't figure out who they were, so she pinned the blame on Nadine.
The people who attacked her were so heavy-handed that she was bedridden for a week. Cooped up at home, her mind was consumed with thoughts of how to take revenge on Nadine.
Realizing it was the day her grandmother would be discharged from the ICU, Victoria figured Nadine would be there to pick her up. "If I'm suffering, Nadine shouldn't have it easy either," she thought. Thus, she rushed to the hospital, determined to humiliate Nadine.
When she saw Nadine helping her grandmother, Victoria could no longer contain her anger and blurted out the fact that Jack was dead.
It all happened so suddenly that Nadine was completely caught off guard.
She stood frozen in place, her heart sinking like it had fallen into a frozen pit. Despite having mentally prepared herself countless times over the past six years, Nadine still couldn't accept that Jack had left her. Every time she thought of him, her heart twisted in pain, like a thousand arrows piercing through her.
When Victoria revealed the truth, it felt as if someone had hit her with a heavy blow. Nadine stood rooted to the spot, unable to find her voice for what seemed like an eternity.
After hearing her granddaughter's voice, Sophie refused to believe it at first. "What on earth are you on about, Victoria? Your older brother is on a special mission and won't be back anytime soon. He's been in touch with Nad. How could you say such things about him?
"What's gotten into you? You're becoming more unruly by the day! Take back what you just said. I won't allow you to speak about your older brother like that!"
