Chapter 56 Sourness
She couldn't say for sure who Felix was talking to, since there was no evidence at the moment. It could just be a coincidence that they knew each other, and it wasn't good to be so suspicious. Back at the villa, she thought about meeting Grayson earlier and felt excited, but then she saw Brandon come out. "There's a gathering, come and take a look," he said.
"What kind of gathering is it? Can I go?"
"Well, there will be people in your profession there, all my familiar friends. Your identity as my designer has already been made public, so there's no need to worry about Fernando finding out."
Victoria's face lit up with joy at the news. She could finally publicly acknowledge her identity as a designer. Being a silent behind-the-scenes person was really disheartening. Brandon looked at her with ease and asked, "Are you that happy?"
"Of course, it's important for an architect to have their own signature, especially for such an important building. Today is such a good day,and I even saw my idol at the art exhibition."
Idol?
Thinking of what Elijah said about her being a child and having idols, she could understand. Without thinking too much, he said, "Alright, change your clothes and come with me."
They met at a private club. It was a members-only club that these high-born children often frequented. It was well-hidden and had good service.
Victoria followed him into the luxurious clubhouse, looking curious.
"Who are we meeting today? Should I introduce myself as your designer?" she asked.
"There are my childhood friends and some acquaintances," he replied.
Victoria couldn't help but look at him in disbelief. This cold-faced tyrant had friends? It was hard to imagine.
He frowned at her strange expression. What was she thinking? But as soon as they entered, she saw a group of handsome men,including the one who caught everyone's attention. She couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Brandon, you finally showed up. I thought you were dead... Oh, wait, who's the beautiful lady with you?" one of them joked, and everyone turned to look at Victoria, some even exclaiming in surprise.
Then, a voice from the back asked in confusion, "Is it you?"
Brandon turned to look, and Victoria was shocked to see Grayson, Brandon friend, who also recognized her. And he even called her "Teacher Larson"?
Brandon became even more confused, but he noticed Victoria's eyes shining with a rare light when she looked at him.
Grayson walked over with a smile. "What a coincidence, you're also studying art?"
"Not really, I'm studying architecture design. Art is my foundation course and also my hobby. Teacher Larson has always been my idol," Victoria replied.
"Oh, I see. So you're the designer that Brandon brought to show me today," Grayson said.
"Yes, that's me," Victoria said, feeling a little nervous.
"We're really meant to meet then," Grayson said, with a warm smile as he extended his hand.
Victoria wiped her palms on her clothes before shaking his hand gracefully. As she looked at his refined smile, which had a touch of sunshine and intimacy, she felt like she was in a real-life idol drama. Her lips couldn't help but curl up.
Meanwhile, Brandon, who had been left aside, grew increasingly sullen.
The idol Victoria had been talking about all day turned out to be Grayson. They had even met before and talked, and Grayson remembered her.
Victoria, who had been standing shyly on the side,sat down beside Brandon after a few words of conversation.
Suddenly, Grayson asked, "You mentioned recommending someone to come study with me today. Was it her?"
Victoria looked at Brandon in surprise. "Really?"
Brandon's expression was cold and hard as he spoke calmly, "No, it's not her. She's not capable of anything. Why would she come to learn from you?"
Victoria's expression froze on her face.
Isn't it me?
"Are you sure it's not me? I'm actually very interested in painting too, Brandon. If it's not me, then who is it? Do you have any other designers over there?" She grabbed his sleeve and asked.
Brandon's expression turned cold and impatient.
"I said it's not you, so it's not you. Why are you asking?"
"I..."
Seeing his cold gaze, Victoria quickly swallowed the rest of her questions.
She also wanted to ask Grayson on the side about the requirements for studying at their place.
Suddenly, Brandon stood up and pulled her up directly. "Let's go, let's go back."
"What?" she exclaimed.
Grayson also said, "Why are you leaving so soon?"
"I just remembered that there's something I haven't taken care of yet."
Saying that, he forcefully pulled Victoria's arm and dragged her out.
Outside the door, Victoria looked at Brandon, who was shivering with cold all over, and couldn't help but complain, "Are you going back so early? I still have something to say. What do you still need to handle?" Listening to her dissatisfied complaints, Brandon's face was as calm as water. He pursed his thin lips and said lightly, "Victoria, don't forget, you're still a married woman. What are you trying to do by smiling so obsequiously at another man?"
Flattery?
Victoria turned around and said angrily, "What other man? That's my idol, and I wasn't flattering him. It was a look of admiration. Why are you talking like this?"
"What should I say then?"
She dared to argue with him.
Brandon forcefully grabbed Victoria and shoved her into the car.
Victoria's head hit the car door and she cried out in pain. Brandon ignored her and had the driver start the car.
"Go home."
Victoria looked at this inexplicable man.
He's such a capricious tyrant!
When they got home, he had a black face the whole time, and Victoria followed behind him, running. Elijah looked puzzled. They were fine when they left, but why did they come back like this?
Looking at Victoria beside him, who was also unable to explain, he looked puzzled.
Once they entered the house, she said, "Are you upset because I talked to someone? Although I'm your wife, I'm the kind of person who's about to get divorced. Are you trying to restrict my freedom?"
Brandon suddenly became furious, grabbed her, and dragged her into the bedroom.
Before she could react, Victoria was thrown onto the bed by him.
"You want to leave here and find another man? You're eager to show off before the divorce, aren't you?"
Victoria, who was thrown around, looked at him like an angry lion and felt a chill in her heart.
