Chapter 17 She Kissed Him Back
Victoria couldn't help but think Xenia was ridiculous.
"Why don't you say that your perfect boyfriend noticed that you're a hypocrite, so, he tried to seduce me?"
"You..." Xenia was so angry she almost spat blood.
After calming down for a while, Xenia continued saying, "Bitch, don't you have any self-awareness? How could Edwin be interested in you, a woman who has slept with a criminal?"
Victoria's most sensitive wound was exposed, and she felt a momentary suffocation.
Xenia loved nothing more than seeing Victoria in pain, and a triumphant expression appeared on Xenia's angry face.
"Victoria, listen carefully. I'll let you off this time, but if you dare to seduce Edwin again, I'll take photos and show them to your useless husband at home. Although he's ugly, disabled, and half-dead, he's still quite capable. If he finds out that his newlywed wife is seducing other men, he will kill you!"
Unexpectedly, Victoria did not show a trace of fear but smiled coldly.
"So, get your phone ready."
Xenia was taken aback. "W... what are you saying?"
Victoria's eyes became colder.
"I said, get your phone ready to take some pictures!"
Xenia was even more confused.
Victoria coldly pushed Xenia away, raised her voice, and shouted at Edmund, who was already more than 30 feet away, "Edwin, stop."
Edmund never listened to anyone's orders, but when he heard Victoria's voice, he stopped in his tracks instantly as if under a spell.
Without turning back, Edmund opened his thin lips coldly and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"
"Yes, I have something to tell you. Wait for me."
With the sole intention of getting revenge on Xenia, Victoria marched toward Edmund in less than five seconds.
Before Edmund could react, Victoria had already wrapped her soft arms around Edmund's neck, stood on tiptoes, and kissed Edmund...
Edmund was extremely clear-headed, but he didn't push Victoria away decisively like he would with other women who threw themselves at him.
As soon as Edmund hesitated, Victoria's lips were firmly on Edmund's lips.
Victoria's lips were soft, sweet, and seductive, making Edmund lose his reason once he came into contact with them.
At that moment, Edmund seemed to have turned to stone. He not only forgot to push Victoria away but also wanted to hug Victoria and get even closer to Victoria...
But Victoria's lips only briefly brushed against his, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.
Before Edmund could fully taste it, Victoria had already hurriedly left in the blink of an eye.
Edmund regained his composure and suppressed the burning desire deep in his heart. He remained as cold as ever and asked, "Victoria, what's gotten into you?"
Victoria's heart surged with waves of emotions, like a tsunami, but she tried her best to keep calm on the surface.
"You did the same thing to me last night, and I'll give it back to you today. Now, we're even."
Victoria quickly looked away from Edmund's face and left without showing any sign of panic.
Edmund stood motionless, unable to take his eyes off Victoria's disappearing figure.
Meanwhile, Xenia was still standing in front of the sink, her trembling right hand tightly holding her phone.
Xenia had once again forgotten to take pictures.
When Victoria kissed Edwin, Xenia was completely stunned.
Xenia never thought that Victoria would be so shameless!
What shocked her even more was how Edwin had reacted.
Xenia had fallen in love with Edwin at first sight, but Edwin had always been indifferent to her. She had even tried to kiss Edwin before, but Edwin had pushed her to the ground with a look of disgust that she could never forget...
But, Edwin didn't push Victoria away!
Victoria shamelessly kissed Edwin in front of everyone, and Edwin obediently stood there, allowing Victoria's lips to run wild on his.
There was definitely something going on between Edwin and Victoria!
No!
Xenia couldn't let Edwin and Victoria continue to develop their relationship.
Only Xenia knew that the person who was with Victoria that night eight days ago was Edwin!
It was Victoria who had saved Edwin!
And it was only by pretending to be Victoria and using Edwin's ring that she was able to win Edwin's favor and become Edwin's girlfriend.
If Edwin and Victoria got too close and opened up to each other, they would eventually discover the truth.
And when that happened, she would be completely finished.
She had to capture Edwin's heart completely before Edwin developed any feelings for that bitch Victoria!
...
Victoria tried her best to maintain a steady pace.
As Xenia walked out of the restaurant, she could no longer keep up her facade, and her legs gave out, causing her to collapse on the ground.
Just last night, Edmund had warned Victoria to keep her distance from him...
What had she done?!
Her actions just now were like poking a tiger's butt!
"Oh my God, Victoria! You're so ruthless!" Eloisa was squatting in front of Victoria with a look of admiration on her face.
"Edwin is so handsome, and I can't resist the urge to kiss him too, but, Victoria... you actually put it into practice in a crowded restaurant! He's so cold. Weren't you afraid he would strangle you on the spot? Even if you wanted to get revenge on Xenia, you shouldn't be so reckless!"
Victoria took a deep breath and her heart was still pounding.
"Eloisa, let's not talk about it anymore. Let this matter come to an end."
"What do you mean by letting it come to an end? Have you ever considered what Xenia might do? And do you really think Edwin is an easy target? You openly kissed him like that. Do you really think he'll just let it go?" Eloisa looked worried.
Victoria shook her head in fear.
She regretted it too.
As Victoria looked back on the moment when she kissed Edmund, she realized how lucky she was that Edmund didn't strangle her on the spot.
Victoria had no idea what Edmund would do to settle the score with her when she got home.
"And what about your useless husband, Victoria? Have you thought about what he would do if he found out that you did this with your sister's boyfriend?"
Victoria's lips moved slightly, but she hesitated to speak.
Victoria and Eloisa were close enough to have no secrets from each other.
But Victoria absolutely couldn't tell Eloisa the secret that Edmund was actually Edwin.
Victoria was not stupid. Even if Edmund had not warned Victoria to keep it a secret, Victoria could feel that the secret was dangerous and could bring disaster to whoever knew about it...
...
Victoria returned to Best Medicine.
From a distance, Victoria saw Edward who had been waiting for a long time in his white BMW outside Best Medicine, kicked the door and said angrily, "Why didn't you answer my call?"
Victoria's eyes were full of sarcasm, "I blocked your number. How could I answer your call?"
"You..." Edward's fat body trembled. He picked up the red box on the car seat and threw it at Victoria's feet.
"Do you know what this is?"
Victoria glanced at the box in surprise, "What is this?"
"Your mother's urn!"
Victoria felt like the world was spinning.
"What... what did you do to my mother?!"
"Don't worry, Nancy is still alive and well for now. But if you keep causing trouble for me, I'll make sure Nancy won't have a peaceful life. Next time, I'll bring her ashes to you in this box."
Edward gritted his teeth, revealing his fierce look.
Victoria breathed a sigh of relief and her voice became steadier.
"When did I cause trouble for you?"
"You have a short memory. It's only been a day, and you already forgot what Edmund said to me? Edmund gave me 24 hours to hand over the person who ordered those four men, or I'll end up like those four men. You know what happened to them..."
