Chapter 49
However, Victoria quickly restrained herself from succumbing to her impulses, knowing well that Christian would never let the
Coleman Family go easily if she did that.
“Victoria, are you too embarrassed to ask me for help?” Bella pondered for a while and gave her a suggestion. “Mr. Coleman and
his family are on the way here, so perhaps I could talk them into helping you or even letting you go home.”
Soon, one of the bystanders chuckled and said, “Look who’s here. Speak of the devil.”
“No thanks, Miss Spritz.” Victoria tried her best to suppress her anger, keeping a stiff upper lip with rage filling her eyes.
“Are you worried that Mr. Coleman won’t let you go back?” Bella seized Victoria’s hand and said, “Don’t overthink things, alright?
You won’t know if you don’t try. I think there is still a chance that Mr. Coleman will go soft on you since you’re still the Coleman
Family’s daughter.” Without giving Victoria a chance to turn her down, Bella raised her hand and waved at Glen. “Mr. Coleman,
would you please come over here with Mrs. Coleman?”
“I said no! Can’t you understand me?” Victoria shook her hand off Bella’s grip, making sure her point was clearly understood.
After all, she was aware of Glen’s unwillingness to see her, knowing that they would fall out if they met each other. As for her
mother, Denise, she had no idea how she felt toward her.
Meanwhile, Bella was stunned, staring at her hand that was shaken off by Victoria with a bitter look on her face. At the same
time, her eyes were filled with tears, but as they were about to roll down their cheeks, she tried her best to fight them back.
“Are you out of your mind, Victoria?” Lucas took a few steps closer to Victoria, his eyes full of rage and hatred. “How could you
be so mean to Bella? She is just trying to help her.”
When the bystanders around them saw what happened, they began to gossip in murmurs. “What’s wrong with her? Miss Spritz
is just trying to help her out. Besides, has this lady forgotten that Miss Spritz decided to drop the charges even though she
crippled her and put her in a wheelchair for the rest of her life? Tsk!”
“This is what people have become nowadays. Good deeds aren’t necessarily rewarded with good karma. People who do all the
bad things get to live a comfortable life, ironically!”
“Know your place, Victoria!”

Victoria took a deep breath and overcame her overwhelming rage amidst the criticism from those around her. “I apologize for the
displeasure that I have just brought to the two of you, Mr. and Miss Spritz.”

She then bowed to them and said, “I’m sorry, but I’d hate to impose on you all with my troublesome personal matters.
Nonetheless, I’d appreciate it if both of you could respect my wish. Thank you.” As soon as she finished her sentence, she
turned around and walked away, only to run into Glen and Denise.
Glen was wearing a decent-looking black, whereas Denise stood beside him in a light gray dress that made her look especially
gorgeous. When the couple saw Victoria, their faces changed. At that moment, Denise was seen with tears rolling in her eyes.
She wanted to approach her daughter, but as soon as she took a step forward, Glen restrained her from doing so. She then kept
her head down and wiped her tears without bothering to look at Victoria again.
In that instant, Victoria felt a gulp in her throat, tempted to greet her parents by calling them Mom and Dad, only to swallow the
words that were forming at the tip of her tongue. Heartbroken, she still couldn’t believe that her parents would choose to sacrifice
her for the sake of the Coleman Family even though it had already been two years.
“Mr. and Mrs. Coleman, please don’t blame it on Victoria. She didn’t say anything.” Bella looked up, forcing a brittle smile on her
face.
“Did she bully you again?” Glen raised his voice.
Bella looked away guiltily, lacking the courage to meet Glen’s gaze. “It’s a misunderstanding, Mr. Coleman. Victoria didn’t bully
me.”
“Victoria!” Glen jumped to the conclusion and assumed that Victoria had bullied Bella. Thus, he snapped at her angrily. “The
reason you’re out of prison now is because Bella decided to let you off, yet you took advantage of her. Is this how you repay
someone’s kindness?!”
Upon hearing those words, Lucas glared at Victoria with a darkened face, thinking he had been wrong about her all the while.
After all, he had always treated her as a young lady who was playful and mischievous until she recklessly knocked over Bella
two years ago. It was at that moment that he realized she was a heartless and wicked woman.
“What did I do? What makes you think I’m taking revenge on her?” Victoria looked at her father right in the eye. Her face was
devoid of emotion, and she simply clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white.

In the face of Victoria’s challenge, Glen began to lose his temper, his face becoming flustered in anger as everyone else
watched. “You bullied Bella! Everyone saw it!”
“Is that so? Were you among them?” Victoria eventually gave in to her impulse. I must have overestimated my tolerance and
patience. She then chuckled coldly and sarcastically. “Didn’t you teach me to look beyond the surface because the truth that lies
beneath it is what matters? You even told me that we should also look at the evidence and the reasons behind an incident, but
did you look into those things? Or did you assume that I was the one who bullied Miss Spritz right away?”

“Bella wouldn’t have suffered so much if it hadn’t been for you.” Although Glen had never abandoned his decency and argued
with anyone openly, he appeared to be so mad that his ears and his face turned red.
Finding that ridiculous, Bella replied, “You assumed that I bullied Miss Spritz just because she looks sympathetic without any
evidence. How does that make sense to you? Couldn’t it have been someone else? Perhaps she was just pretending to deceive
everyone else around her.”
The next moment, Glen raised his palm and swung it across the air, giving Victoria’s face a huge slap just like the time he
slapped her at Delta Club. Then, Glen pointed at Victoria while his other hand covered his chest, his flustered face indicating that
his anger was taking a toll on his health.
“Come on, take your medicine!” Denise quickly took some medicine from her purse and gave them to Glen. “Tori, please stop
pissing your father off. Please do this for me, girl.”
“I... I’m not her father!” Glen desperately pointed out that Victoria had been disowned by the Coleman Family despite his unwell
condition.
On the other hand, Bella nearly burst into tears as her red eyes seemed especially obvious on her fair face. “Mr. and Mrs.
Coleman, I don’t blame Victoria at all. I know she must be having a tough time working at Delta Club. Please let her go home.”
As soon as the crowd heard the words ‘Delta Club’, they all exchanged gazes in surprise.
“The Coleman Family has no place for a heartless woman like her!” Although Glen felt a lot better after taking his medicine, he
was still unable to calm himself down because he had never been in such an embarrassing situation before. In the meantime,
Victoria looked down and tried to fight back her tears, swallowing her bitterness and disappointment without anyone else
knowing how she felt..

Due to the loud commotion, Bella’s parents were drawn to the conflict as they anxiously rushed to their daughter. When Nancy
caught up to Bella, she checked on her daughter to make sure she was fine before walking up to Victoria. “It’s you again,
Victoria!” Her contempt and disgust for that young lady were expressed in her words.
“I shall get going now.” Victoria glimpsed at her parents, who were busy comforting Bella, and walked away in a heartbroken
manner, letting go of the dress that was crumpled by her grip.
“Hold on!” Nancy suddenly got a hold of Victoria and questioned her, “Whose idea was it for you to come here? Did you get an
invitation? You’d better get out of here. I don’t want a murderer like you stirring up trouble or threatening anyone’s safety in this
house.”
Victoria pursed her lips and shifted her gaze across the crowd, including her parents who were standing among them. While
many of them were either just bystanders or haters who didn’t like her, no one bothered to stand up for her at all.
In the meantime, Lucas was sympathetic to see her in such a helpless state, but when he puckered his lips and was about to say
something, his father kicked his foot as a sign to tell him to keep quiet. Because of that, he gulped and reluctantly took his eyes

“It was my idea to invite her. Do you have a problem with that?” Christian’s voice was heard at that moment
