Chapter 123 There is indeed such a person
Victoria's eyes narrowed. She grabbed Rebecca by the arm, startling her. "What are you doing?" Rebecca asked.
"If you want to be the mistress of the Duncan Family, you can't even touch Heidi. Otherwise, I guarantee that you won't even get close to the Duncan Family's door Victoria said firmly.
Rebecca was angry and pushed Victoria away. "You think too highly of yourself. You don't know anything. You don't even understand Brandon. You don't know what he's been through, what pain he's experienced, or how to comfort him. Who do you think you are to think you can control him?"
Victoria felt a pang in her heart, but she remained calm. She looked at Rebecca and took a deep breath before coldly laughing. "I didn't say I wanted to control him, but I want to keep this position. It's easy. You need to think carefully about what you want to do."
She could be degraded and plotted against, but she wouldn't allow anyone to touch Heidi.
Grayson searched for Heidi inside, but couldn't find her. After a while, he saw Rebecca coming back.
"Did you find Heidi?" Grayson grabbed her, looking stern.
"No, Heidi, Heidi. What's with all this talk about Heidi? It's annoying," Rebecca complained impatiently. "Leave Heidi alone. We're all living peacefully. Otherwise..." Grayson warned. "I won't touch Heidi," Rebecca said, thinking of Victoria's words. After all, her family would never accept Heidi. "Promise me you'll let me into the Huan Yu Group."
Grayson looked at her helplessly. "You know it's impossible. After Su Jin left, no one can replace her. Brandon won't be with you."
Su Jin... Rebecca's face darkened at the mention of the name. "Brother, Ophelia might have already gotten married. I heard she had a boyfriend overseas and was doing well. She won't come back."
"But she's always been there." Grayson's hand rested on Rebecca's shoulder as he looked at her determined expression, shaking his head before walking away.
Victoria returned home, Rebecca's words still swirling in her mind.
You don't even know Brandon, you don't know what he's been through, what pain he's experienced, how to comfort him.
It was true...
She didn't know.
"Mistress, you're back. Sir hasn't returned yet, have you been in contact with him?" Elijah sighed.
"I don't know," Victoria lowered her head. "Where does he usually go on this day?"
"I'm not sure, no one seems to know. I thought he would have contacted you," Elijah replied.
"So he doesn't usually come back at this time?"
"He usually only leaves for half a day, he should have been back by now. That's why I'm worried."
Victoria thought for a moment before saying, "Can I go into his study? I want to see if there's any clue as to where he might have gone and then go look for him."
At first, Elijah thought it was not possible to enter the master's study, but then he remembered the master's special treatment towards the mistress.
Maybe it's okay for the mistress to enter.
"Then please go ahead."
Victoria entered the study and went to his desk, opening each drawer to find many certificates he had earned when he was young.
This man had never mentioned it before, he used to be quite powerful.
She also saw his architect qualification certificate.
She didn't expect him to have this.
She looked through it but didn't find anything valuable. She was about to leave when she suddenly saw a photo inside.
It was a woman
Wearing a red dress, but only the lower half was visible, the upper half of the photo was missing. It was clear that the photo had been torn in half, and it didn't look very old. Obviously, it wasn't a photo of his deceased mother.
So... it must be the woman in his heart.
She picked it up and looked at it, but then heard Elijah knocking on the door outside.
"Miss, are you done? It wouldn't be good if someone saw it."
Victoria snapped out of her thoughts and went out. "Did you find anything?"
"No..." Victoria thought for a moment and said, "Actually, today I went to Larson Family and saw someone who seemed to know your husband..."
Elijah was taken aback, "Miss Gu?"
He really knew.
"She has known your husband for a long time?"
"...Well, let's not talk about it, it's all in the past."
Elijah thought to himself that Miss Gu liked their husband and had caused a lot of trouble in the past, which everyone knew. It's better not to tell the young lady.
"Okay..."
The red dress, combined with her red outfit today, almost overlapped.
It seems that she must be a woman who loves red a lot. Brandon was not heartless after all, he just didn't have any feelings for her.
Suddenly, there was a sound from outside. Brandon finally came back.
His eyes were red, and he was walking unsteadily, obviously drunk.
As soon as he saw Victoria, he walked over to her.
"Victoria."
Victoria wanted to avoid him, but she couldn't.
He ran into her and hugged her.
Victoria almost fell down.
Smelling the alcohol on him, "Why did you drink so much?"
Before she could say anything, he looked deeply into her face, suddenly held her cheeks, and kissed her.
Victoria was startled and cursed in her heart. There were people around them.
Elijah couldn't even look at them directly and quickly asked everyone to leave.
Afraid that they would see something they shouldn't.
Sure enough, as soon as they left, they heard the sound of him pushing her onto the sofa from behind.
Not wanting to delay, everyone ran out...
And in their hearts, they couldn't help but sigh that they didn't know before that their master was so impatient…
Victoria pushed his chest and looked at him in amazement, "What do you want to do?"
"Victoria...I missed you," he whispered in her ear, looking at her face.
"No, don't touch me, I'm not feeling well..." she yelled, but he seemed not to have heard her.
Victoria was pushed onto the sofa and couldn't move. Tears streamed down her face, but she couldn't stop them. Brandon's eyes were fixed on her, as if he couldn't hear her voice. This was his personal hell, but now that he saw her, he felt like he was under a spell. He felt that as long as he saw her, he wouldn't be so painful anymore. At this moment, he couldn't hear anything and just wanted to tear everything apart...
Victoria knew he probably couldn't hear her. After a while, he seemed to sober up a bit and looked down at her disheveled appearance. Victoria, with tears still in her eyes, gritted her teeth and covered her clothes. She looked at him with a pale face, which made Brandon stunned for a moment. He held his throbbing head and said, "I'm drunk? Are you feeling okay... I..."
