Chapter 200

Martin looked at the group and let out a long sigh.

"Then you'd better get ready to kowtow and apologize. Ms. Spencer is the pen pal I've been writing to for a year, and she's the designer at Celine Jewelry."

As soon as he said this, the whole place fell silent.

Everyone thought Martin was joking.

Eleanor's hands clenched tight, a strained smile on her face. "How is that possible? Martin, you must be kidding."

The people around them didn't dare to speak.

Especially that boy, whose face turned deathly pale.

He glanced at Victoria, muttering over and over, "This can't be true. How could Victoria be my idol!"

"Victoria, looks like they still don't believe you."

Martin looked at these people with disappointment. "These people are just idiots. They can't even recognize someone right in front of them, yet they keep saying they want to learn from you."

Hearing his familiar tone, Eleanor was already half convinced.

At the same time, she kept thinking it over in her mind.

Victoria came back with Chase, and she'd heard that Celine Jewelry's headquarters was on Chase's side.

Could it really be Victoria?

This was so embarrassing for Eleanor!

Her body swayed uncontrollably, and she looked at Victoria with a strange expression. "Are you really...?"

"The official meeting is coming up soon. If you don't believe it, you can just wait and see if it's true or not."

Victoria was too calm and collected.

The people around didn't dare to speak anymore. Eleanor already believed it in her heart, but jealousy and bitterness made her unwilling to admit it. Why should Victoria be so young and have such abilities?

That man was now trembling all over.

When he came here, his family had told him that he must get on good terms with these jewelry merchants. The family was facing a transition, and only by getting cooperation rights from these people could they save the family business!

But today he had accidentally offended Victoria.

When he got back, his parents would kill him...

The man figured it out and immediately put on a flattering smile. "I was wrong. I'll kneel down and apologize. Is that okay? Please forgive me this once. I really didn't know. If I had known..."

Victoria didn't want to listen to his rambling. "You just said if I was real, you'd kneel down and admit you were wrong. So are you admitting defeat now?"

Timothy King gritted his teeth and dropped to his knees right in front of everyone with a thud.

If he apologized to Victoria now, maybe he could still leave an impression on her!

He knelt on the ground and knocked his head down.

"I was wrong. I accept my loss! My eyes were bad. I was blind!"

After saying these words, he knocked his head down hard again.

Victoria just felt it was boring. "Alright, the bet is complete. You can get up now."

She wasn't the type to push people too hard. Since the guy apologized, that was enough.

Timothy struggled to stand up, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Victoria. "Ms. Spencer, no! You're my idol. Idol, can I follow you?"

Eleanor's face immediately darkened, and she questioned him directly.

"What do you mean!"

Before, this man had been shamelessly trying to follow her around, and now that he knew Victoria's identity, he wanted to go work for Victoria!

"I... Victoria is my real idol. Ms. Hartley, before I met Victoria, I thought you were my idol, but now everything has changed."

He said these words as if they were perfectly reasonable.

Victoria quietly watched him perform, finding it somewhat funny.

Eleanor seemed to be surrounded by many people, but actually they all saw her as their second choice.

Everyone knew Eleanor was arrogant, needed to be flattered, and might not even help their families. But they had no choice but to please her under pressure.

Now with Victoria here for comparison.

They naturally had a new target.

With the first one leading the way, others also asked ingratiatingly, "Ms. Spencer, you just came back. You must need people to help with many things. We can help you handle them. Just give us a chance to work by your side."

This actually struck a chord with Victoria.

Victoria did need her own team after coming back.

"Sure, Celine Jewelry is hiring recently. Whether you can get in depends entirely on your abilities."

Everyone immediately felt relieved and kept saying nice things about her before leaving with peace of mind, each going back to report today's situation to their families.

Soon, only Martin, Eleanor, and Victoria were left.

Eleanor's face looked terrible now. She clenched her jaw. "Martin, why didn't you ever tell me Victoria had this identity?"

Martin smiled and patted Victoria's shoulder. "She wanted to keep a low profile before. It's good that she's changed her mind now. This way, some people will know your identity first before they recognize you as a person, you know?"

"I understand. Thank you for backing me up." Victoria smiled back.

The two got along like friends. Eleanor felt a bit jealous.

She had been by Martin's side for so many years but hadn't become that close to him.

But Victoria... just came back, and already had Ralph, Martin, and Brian protecting her!

What ability did Victoria have that made these two old men treat her so well?

"I'll need you to back me up in the future too." Victoria smiled and shook her head.

At the same time, she was thinking about what Brian said - that she couldn't trust anyone. What about this person? Could he be trusted?

Martin called to her, "Alright, alright, come on. The banquet is about to start. Victoria, I'll introduce you to others. They'll definitely be shocked."

Victoria followed behind him.

"Thanks, Martin."

Their interaction nearly drove Eleanor crazy. Her nails almost dug into her palms, her eyes filled with deep resentment.

Victoria turned back halfway and looked at her. "Ms. Hartley, aren't you coming?"

Eleanor still had that superior expression on her face. She wore a cold look and followed behind the two.

Martin took all this in. "You really don't take any losses, do you?"

"I don't like eating that kind of useless stuff. Why should we take losses? Martin, what do you think? Do you want me to be bullied?"

Martin immediately waved his hand. "I can't argue with you. It's just that girl probably won't let this go. You need to be careful in the future."

"I know." Victoria accepted this kindness. From the corner of her eye, she saw that Eleanor wasn't following them but had turned to walk with some other people.

It seemed the show was about to begin.
