Chapter 105 Called back home
At this moment, in the room, Victoria was being looked at by him, but her face was very stiff.
Her displeased gaze was caught by Brandon .
He slowly let go of her.
Seeing him turn his back to her, Victoria also felt uncomfortable. "I'm not...disliking you..."
She just suddenly thought, was it the same between him and Diana?
Although she knew it wasn't his fault, she still hadn't gotten over it in her heart.
"Let's go to bed."
He naturally felt that her mood wasn't good, but he didn't say anything at this time. She had a dreamless night, and the next day, Victoria went to work at the company as usual.
Because of the incident last time, the people in the company were much nicer to her.
At this time, Darian suddenly walked in from outside.
Victoria paused and looked at him, "Dad..."
Everyone was surprised to hear Victoria call him dad and walk over to him.
"Isn't that the chairman of Griffin Family?"
"Victoria is also from Griffin Family?"
"So that's why she was so powerful at the restaurant last time."
Victoria and Darian went outside together. Darian said, "Victoria, you're doing well in Qingyu."
"Dad, just say what you want to say," Victoria said.
"It's nothing, your mom misses you and wants you to come home for a meal," Darian said.
Victoria laughed, "My mom doesn't miss me, she's reached the point where she hates me."
"Okay, even if your mom doesn't miss you, your grandma does. She was hospitalized recently and we didn't tell her that you're already married. You practically grew up with her, don't you want to go back and see her?"
Upon hearing this, Victoria's eyes finally moved.
She quickly returned to the Griffin Family home, but didn't see her grandma. She asked in surprise, "Where's grandma?"
"Victoria," Darian said, "aren't the other people in the house your family too?"
"Sure, Dad. If you want me to feel like you're still my family, did Erica tell you she plagiarized my work?"
Erica came out from inside, "Victoria, how can you defame me in front of Dad like this?"
Victoria narrowed her eyes, "You didn't tell Mom and Dad, did you? We even had evidence in front of Dylan."
Erica looked sad, "Dad...never mind, let her say whatever she wants."
Darian frowned at Victoria, "Alright, if she really did plagiarize you, would she voluntarily ask you to come back? This time, Erica wants you to come back."
Victoria looked at her in surprise, wondering what she was up to.
"Victoria, I think you're not doing well outside. Why don't you come back and work as the project manager at the company? I'll be your assistant from now on, okay?" Erica said.
Darian quickly interjected, "Assistant or not, you're sisters and can work together as equals at the company."
Victoria finally understood their intention of calling her back. "Dad, I understand now. The last project of the company failed, and it's hard to maintain it now. So you called me back to clean up the mess for you, am I right?"
Darian's face darkened. "What are you talking about? What do you mean by cleaning up the mess for us? This is also your home."
"I'm married now, this is not my home anymore."
Darian pointed at her angrily. "You, you ungrateful child! Have I been raising you for nothing? How could you turn out to be such an ungrateful person?"
Victoria forced a bitter smile. "When you wanted me to stay in the Griffin Family, you said that you would treat me the same as before. But you chose to sacrifice me. Blood is thicker than water. You only kept me because you didn't want to waste the resources you invested in me. I have already fulfilled my obligation to you, don't expect me to be exploited again."
Darian was completely provoked. "You, Victoria! After you got married, you became arrogant and always come back with this attitude. Let me tell you, you are the daughter of the Griffin Family, and I won't allow you to leave. If I say you can't go out, then you can't. Come on, guys, take her away."
Several Griffin Family bodyguards walked in.
Victoria turned around. "Dad, what are you going to do to me?"
"From today on, you will be locked up in the small dark room at home and you are not allowed to go out anymore."
"How could you do this?" Victoria was angry. "Are you going to imprison me?"
"Hmph, what do you mean by imprisonment? You are my daughter, and I have the right to educate my children. Who can say anything about it? What are you waiting for? Take her away."
Victoria tried to struggle, but the guards were obviously prepared. They put a sack over her head and took her away.
Erica smiled triumphantly in her heart, but quickly came to Darian's side. "Dad, this is not good."
Darian took a deep breath. "I don't want to treat her like this either, but what you said is right. If she helps other families, she is helping our competitors. If our competitors are stronger than us, it's not good for us. She is a weapon, but if this weapon falls into the hands of others, it will be used against us. So why let her go out?"
Victoria was pushed into the small single room she used to live in. The room was tiny, with only a desk and a bed, and everything inside was in disarray from Erica's rummaging. Victoria pounded on the door and shouted, "Dad, Dad, I always listened to you when I was young. How could you do this to me..."
The contrast was too stark. It took her a long time to snap out of the shock that her parents were no longer her parents and this was no longer her home. But why wouldn't they let her go?
Curling up in the corner, she touched her stomach. "My baby is suffering with me every day. I'm not a good mother." The baby was almost four months old now, but her belly was still small. It must be because she had suffered so much that she couldn't gain weight. It wasn't until evening that someone sent food in through the window. Victoria swallowed and walked over to it. For the sake of her child, she had to eat. She looked at the plain vegetables, which looked like dog food. She couldn't help but raise her head and ask, "Auntie, what's going on? Why are you giving me this? Am I not a human being?"
The woman outside sneered, "You should be grateful for what you have. Your father said that if you want to be obedient and come back to the Griffin Family, you're still the Griffin Family's young lady. Otherwise, what are you?"
Victoria gritted her teeth and looked at the food. She forced herself to take a bite but it made her feel even more nauseous.
"The food is spoiled!" she pushed the plate aside and cursed at the people outside, "Dad, how could you treat me like this? I'm not your prisoner, I'm a human being!"
In the corner, Erica listened to the voice and couldn't help but sneer, "Without a little hardship, how do you know what you're worth, Auntie, continue to feed her this tomorrow, what's wrong with spoiled food, if she doesn't eat, she'll starve."
