Chapter 122 His ex-lover?
They quickly returned home, and when she was still dazed, she received a call from Heidi.
"Victoria, do you think Grayson's sudden invitation to his banquet means he has ulterior motives towards me?"
Victoria chuckled, "It's just an invitation to a banquet, why does it have to be ulterior motives?"
"But...I'm afraid to go..."
Victoria could tell that Heidi wanted to go, "Then what should we do?"
"How about you accompany me?"
Victoria knew...
She thought for a moment, Brandon was out all day and not at home, today was his mother's death anniversary, and she was not in a good mood because she had been to the hospital once. If the two of them met at this time, they would inevitably argue. It was better to accompany Heidi to do something.
When she saw Heidi, Victoria said, "It's just a banquet, First Miss Miller who is not afraid of anything, why are you still afraid?"
Heidi's face turned red and she said, "No...it's just that, after all, it's the Larson Family, it's definitely not the same as us small families. What if I do something wrong?"
Victoria chuckled and patted her head, then followed her to the banquet. They didn't know what kind of banquet the Larson Family was holding this time, but when they entered, Grayson saw her from afar and was very surprised.
"Victoria, why are you here too?"
Victoria said, "What, you don't want me to come?"
Heidi immediately became unhappy, "What do you mean? If you don't want her to come, then you don't want me to come. Let's go now."
"Grayson, say something. Am I that kind of person?" Grayson asked urgently, but he couldn't help but feel a bit strange when he looked at Victoria's expression. Victoria also wanted to ask if something had happened, but then a sharp voice came from behind them.
"So this is Victoria?"
A woman in a red evening dress with a matching headband on her hair, looking extremely flamboyant, walked towards them. She appeared to be in her twenties, with a beautiful face, but her eyes were fixed on Victoria without moving.
"Rebecca, what are you doing here?" Grayson frowned and walked over.
"Why can't I come out, brother? Why didn't I see Brandon come? Did she come alone?"
Victoria looked at her expression and vaguely guessed what was going on. She seemed to have hostility towards herself, but when she mentioned Brandon's name, it had a different meaning.
This was Grayson's sister, and she was interested in Brandon?
"Today is a special day, you know that. Why would Brandon come?" Grayson said.
"But today is the day I came back to the country. I haven't come back in so many years, and he didn't come to see me?"
Rebecca's voice was tinged with a hint of resentment. Grayson's face changed when he heard this and he quickly looked at Victoria. Rebecca also looked over at Victoria.
She raised her chin proudly and looked at Victoria. "I heard that you're the woman Brandon secretly brought home to marry, right? I'm Rebecca. Brandon should have mentioned me to you before."
Victoria was stunned. This woman was very confident.
Heidi couldn't help but interject, "Why would he mention you? Are you famous or something? How ridiculous."
Rebecca turned to Heidi. "Who is this guy? How did she just come to my party like this?"
Grayson pulled Rebecca away. "That's enough. Let's go inside."
"Oh, I see. This must be the Heidi you talked about. Ha, she's nothing special. I thought she was some kind of goddess who had descended to earth."
Rebecca was pulled away before she could say anything else.
Heidi turned back in surprise. "What was she talking about? Is there something wrong with her? And is this even her welcoming party? Why did Grayson invite me here? This is so unlucky!"
But Heidi quickly regained her composure and pulled Victoria aside. "But did she just say that Grayson talked about us? Tell me the truth, is there something going on between you and Grayson?"
"No way," Heidi denied, blushing. "Anyway, since she doesn't welcome us, let's just leave."
"I need to use the restroom first," Victoria said.
Today, the doctor also mentioned that as her belly grows bigger, she will need to use the restroom more often. And now, Victoria is feeling it. She quickly exits the restroom and on her way back to find Heidi, she suddenly hears a voice.
"Brother, you and Heidi are impossible. She's from a small family, and I'm telling Dad about this. I definitely will."
It's Rebecca. Grayson responds, "You don't need to worry about my affairs. Just take care of yourself. Brandon is already married, and you shouldn't mention him again. What kind of person are you?"
"Is that called being married? He was just forced to be with a woman. Brandon definitely doesn't like her. I've known Brandon for so many years, and he's always been different towards me. You know that."
"No matter what happened between you in the past, you've been abroad for five years now, and you know that after he had problems with his mother, he changed. And yet, you still..."
"I don't believe he killed his mother. I don't believe it! I don't care. What's mine is mine, and I will definitely take it back. She's not even worthy of Brandon."
"You..."
Victoria quickly leaves the scene. What did Rebecca mean? Has she known Brandon for a long time and had a relationship with him? Victoria has never heard anyone mention Brandon's past relationships. But then again, he has never talked about his past either.
As she's about to step down the stairs, she sees someone blocking her way. "Victoria, were you eavesdropping just now?" Rebecca approached with her skirt in hand.
"I was just passing by, it doesn't count as eavesdropping," Victoria replied.
Rebecca snorted, "You heard it, so I don't have to say much. Brandon is mine, and if you're smart, you should leave on your own."
Victoria chuckled, "He's yours, I hope you take him away quickly. I really don't want this position. Maybe it's a delicacy for you, but for me, I don't care at all."
Victoria was sincere. Although she felt a little sour when she first heard that Rebecca might have a relationship with Brandon, she thought that she needed someone like him now.
Rebecca found Victoria's words piercing. She didn't believe that Victoria didn't care. Victoria was deliberately showing off!
"Victoria, he will never fall in love with someone like you. Think about it yourself,"
Rebecca said.
Victoria laughed, "Then please take action quickly. I can't wait."
"Oh, and your good friend Heidi. My dad has already found a match for my brother. She can't marry into the Larson Family," Rebecca added.
