Accused of murder
A perplexed William followed Jon into the meeting room of the Smith estate which was filled to the brim.The core members of the family convened at the venue and were whispering to each other. Meanwhile, Dennis Smith sighed with a troubled expression while Kyle Smith paced the room apprehensively.Victoria and a few others stayed by the side of an unconscious Richard Smith.“Victoria, what’s wrong?” William inquired as he showed up in the room with a solemn look.“William, you’ve arrived at the right time! Please check on my dad!” Victoria’s face lit up, and she frantically pulled William over to a pale and sweaty Richard, who had blood stains on his outfit.Without further ado, William performed a detailed checkup on Richard and announced, “Your dad is weak because he has recently recovered from a grave illness. To top that off, he was drinking like a fish, and that’s why he fainted. He should be fine.”“That’s good to hear.” A relieved sigh escaped from Charlotte’s lips.“Can you w
Violent confrontation
As the Smiths discussed the implications of what had happened with the Storms, Trevor and Jane were currently in the backseat of a luxurious car, heading home. Trevor leaned back into the seat.Even as he took a rest with his eyes closed, he exuded a dangerous air.“Trevor! That wretched girl Victoria is really too much! We need to bring her into line!” Jane sat beside Trevor, still indignant over Victoria’s words.Her brother was such a remarkable person who was outstanding in every aspect.Victoria should have counted her blessings and thanked every deity she knew that he even wanted to marry her!But not only did she not appreciate him, she dared to call off the marriage alliance in front of such a crowd.This was humiliation through and through!“Say something. Trevor! That bitch cheated on you! Are you really not pissed off by that?” Jane was even more disgruntled by Trevor’s silence.His fiancée had cheated on him with another man and even got herself pregnant!This was somethi
Bringing doom upon one's self
Victoria’s brow was deeply furrowed as she cracked her head thinking of a way out of her predicament.The way things had played out was beyond her expectations, and she was in a dilemma right now.“William, hurry. You should leave the city as soon as possible. Knowing Trevor, he’d never let you off the hook!” Victoria was suddenly reminded of the danger William was in.“Don’t you worry? Trevor won’t be able to mess with me so easily.” William smiled and continued. “Oh, and leave the matter of calling off the marriage to me. If persuasion doesn’t work on him, then we’ll try more aggressive means.”“More aggressive means?” Richard and the rest of the Smiths were taken aback by William’s suggestion, and they all stared at him like he had gone out of his mind.He wanted to use more aggressive means against the Storms?Did he have a death wish?“William, if you have a death wish, that’s all on you. Please do not implicate us!” Charlotte said sternly with a frown.From how she saw it, her d
Shameless
The Smiths had strict rules, especially toward their daughters, who were expected to preserve their innocence until the day they were married.“Victoria Smith, you are shameless! Absolutely vile!” Jane was so angry she slammed her hands on the table and jumped up from her seat.With her brother’s status and prestige, he was never going to marry a woman who had slept with someone else.“Are you trying to provoke me?” Trevor’s brow knitted together ever so slightly.A brief second later, he regained his composure and put on a facade of indifference. “I do not mind that you’ve lost your virginity.”“What?” Once again, everyone was shocked by what they heard, especially the Storms.It was like they did not even know Trevor anymore.“You do not mind that I’m no longer a virgin? Well, what if I told you that I’m with child?” Victoria tossed him another shocker. “Truth be told, I’m pregnant. I’m carrying William’s child!”The moment she said that a commotion came over the room.“Oh, you wret
Stop messing around!
“Of course it is! We’re very pleased with the sincerity that the Storm family has shown us.” Richard nodded with a smile.“Great! Since you’re happy with this, we shall proceed with the marriage. We will come for the bride in 10 days!” Jane cut things straight to the point.“Sur-” Richard was just about to agree to the arrangement when the crisp voice of a woman sounded.“No, I do not agree with this!”“What?” When they heard that, everyone’s gaze shot over to the entrance of the lounge.With everyone’s eyes on her, Victoria slowly made her way into the lounge with several people behind her. “l do not agree to the marriage alliance.”“You do not agree?” Jane’s expression darkened. “Have you any idea what you’re saying, Victoria?”“Of course I have. And I stand by my words: I will not marry Trevor Storm,” Victoria said impassively.“What is the meaning of this?... Mr. Smith, are you going back on our arrangement?” Trevor slowly looked up, his sharp gaze directed pointedly at Richard. “
Enemy amongst us
Upon hearing that the man had been poisoned, Victoria began to panic, after all, this was a gathering organized by the Smith family.For someone to be poisoned, especially one of the guests, would end up damaging the reputation of her family.As much as she was being forced into annoying situations by her family, Victoria couldn't accept them being humiliated by external parties.To that end, she immediately called for the waiters to drag the man out of the public eye before it caused too much of a commotion among those present.Meanwhile, William inspected the man thoroughly before remarking.“It seems to be the wine he drank.” “Does that mean the wine served to the guests is poisoned?”“If I were to guess, no, this amount of poison is too potent to be used indiscriminately.”“Which means they were targeting a particular individual; he just turned out to be the one to take the poisoned chalice,” Victoria remarked, with William nodding in agreement.“You might want to get your men to
