Chapter 118 Counterattack
Do you not want to suffer retribution again?" Elijah paused, suddenly remembering something that had happened years ago. "At that time, when that woman left, she shouted at Brandon, 'This is your retribution!' Then she went abroad and never came back." "That incident didn't affect me much, but it will definitely affect Victoria's reputation," he said.
"But it seems that the young mistress is very angry now," Elijah remarked.
"She's just being childish. She'll be fine in a while," Brandon replied with a sigh. He couldn't understand why the young mistress didn't appreciate all that he did for her.
Brandon soon returned to the villa, but Victoria was nowhere to be found.
Victoria was sitting in the coffee shop, looking angry and waiting for Heidi to arrive. But it wasn't just Heidi who came; Grayson was with her.
"Why are you both here?" Victoria asked.
"We went to the beach earlier but had to come back because of the Duncan Family incident. Grayson is compensating me for it," Heidi explained. "..."
After glancing between the two of them, Victoria explained the reason for her visit today.
"Diana came to my company and caused a scene."
Grayson was surprised. "How could this happen? Don't worry, the company won't misunderstand you because of this."
After all, the company was bought by Brandon for Victoria, so how could he blame her for it? Victoria recounted the incident and Heidi slammed the table, "I've never seen such shameless person. What did Brandon see in her in the first place?"
"See her? I don't think so. I've never heard Brandon mention her before," Grayson said, looking puzzled. "It happened a year ago, before Brandon became a vegetable," Victoria said.
"Well, we didn't have much contact back then, but that Diana was really not his type. The women he used to like were..." Grayson paused and looked at Victoria.
Victoria paused and looked at him. Grayson seemed to feel that he had said something wrong and quickly laughed it off. "Okay, so what do we do now?"
"I know for sure that child is not Brandon's," Victoria sneered. "Heidi, do you remember Diana's ex-boyfriend, the athlete? I saw him back then. I'll find a way to let Brandon know about this."
Heidi looked at Victoria's expression and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"A guilty person is bound to be suspicious!" Victoria sneered and looked off into the distance. Victoria quickly called Diana.
Diana answered with a smug laugh, "What's up? Why are you calling me? Is Brandon reluctant to let me go? Are you upset? Do you think you can drive me away? Hmph, just wait and see."
"What do you want to do to leave? The child is not Brandon's. Do you think you can cover up the truth forever?" Victoria said. Diana's eyes flickered. "Do you want to know? Come to the Kristin Bar tonight, and I'll tell you."
Victoria asked, "What do you want to do?"
"We're here to negotiate, so of course we need to find a place to talk. How much money are you willing to give me for me to leave?" Victoria paused for a moment before agreeing, "Alright, but don't go back on your word."
After hanging up the phone, Diana sneered and crushed the fruit in front of her. She couldn't let Brandon find out that she had lied to him, and the only person who knew besides her ex-boyfriend was Victoria. Now that Victoria had come to her, she couldn't let this opportunity slip by. She had to give Victoria a big gift and make her look bad in Brandon's eyes. Let's see how she would explain herself then.
Victoria hung up the phone and sneered, "We can arrange for someone to come and watch the show...I'll leave this task to you, Teacher Larson."
Grayson looked helpless, "Should I lead Brandon over? If he finds out that I'm cooperating with you guys, he'll definitely..."
"Come on, you guys are friends," Heidi said, "Isn't your friendship strong enough? What can he do to you?"
Gu Zhanqing said, "Oh, you guys don't understand. The thing he hates the most is betrayal." "This isn't betrayal, it's letting him know the truth. Are you willing to watch him take the blame for a child that isn't his?" Heidi was quite persuasive at this point.
Victoria looked at Grayson and finally saw a hint of emotion on his face, causing her to smile.
That night, Diana quickly arrived at the bar's private room.
After sitting down, Diana sneered and said, "So, how much money are you willing to give me?"
"How much do you want? You name the price."
"That's Brandon we're talking about, he's worth at least a billion," Diana said.
Victoria looked at her. "You really know how to ask for a lot."
"Okay, how about this? You give me a billion, and I'll throw in a secret about Brandon that I uncovered," Diana said, with a mysterious smile.
Victoria hesitated. "What secret? And how do you know about it? Don't try to fool me."
"I live in the Wangjiang Villa, where all of Brandon's old folks are. There's one lady who used to take care of him when he was young, and I heard it from her," Diana said.
Victoria's eyes flickered. "Okay, I'll agree. Tell me."
"You're not giving me any money first, how can I tell you?" Diana said.
Victoria fiddled with her fingers. "Well... I don't have any cash on me right now, but I can write you an IOU. You have to trust me, I'm the Duncan Family's young mistress. Once you leave, I won't be able to get any money from you."
Diana looked at her skeptically.
Victoria pulled out a card. "Here's a million-dollar deposit. It's all the money I have on me right now. If you don't want it, I can't do anything else."
Diana looked down at the card with disdain, but then thought of how much Brandon cared about Victoria. Money shouldn't be an issue.
Diana took the card and leaned in close. "Brandon's mother died when he was young, you know that, right?"
Victoria nodded. "Yes, everyone knows that."
"Well, rumor has it that Brandon killed his own mother with his own hands. Did you know that?" Victoria's heart trembled, as if a huge rock had suddenly fallen and sank rapidly to the bottom of her heart.
"How is that possible?"
He put his mother's things in a small room and kept them so well, which shows that he loved his mother very much!
"I know you don't believe it, but it's true. This person is very scary. The old people of the Duncan Family knew about this. Even his own mother could be killed. He is indeed a ruthless person. So I have given up now. It's really scary to live around such a scary person."
Victoria's face kept changing, still digesting what she had just heard, unwilling to believe it.
Diana had already put away the card and said, "I'm going to the bank to check if there is money in this card. Wait for me here. If you don't wait for me, I will regret it."
