Vicky never anticipated being involved in such a dramatic situation.
Orion stared at Vicky and said coldly, âYou sure are cunning, Ms. Shaw. You promised to break up with
Tyler, only to go running back to him without us knowing? Did you regret letting him go after finding out
about his true background?â
Vicky looked at Orion.
She did not remember anything about Orion, but according to the words he said, she concluded that
she had met with Orion and Valencia before.
âHave we met, Mister Hart?â she asked.
Orion scowled. âThereâs no reason for you to keep up your act now, Vicky Shaw.â
âShe said she lost her memories,â Valencia said.
âShe lost her memories?â Orion mocked. âShe probably faked it because she wanted to go back on her
promise, right?â
âMister Hart, have I promised toâ¦break up with Tyler?â Vicky asked.
âNot only had you promised to do so, but you asked for 150 million dollars in return, too.â
Vicky froze at his words. She did recall receiving the money and wondered if she had truly betrayed
Tyler for money.
When Vicky fell into silence, Orion and Valencia exchanged knowing looks.
Before Vicky had the chance to say anything, Valencia said, âI heard that your parents passed away
when you were little. Without a guardian, you havenât been taught well and have been making a fool of
yourself. Since youâve married Tyler, youâre a member of this family, and manners are the least
requirement for you. According to our familyâs rules, you are supposed to kneel before us and greet us.
You didnât inform us when you got married and skipped that step, so you might as well make up for it
now.â
She shot a side-long glance at Vicky and continued, âGet down on your knees and greet us properly.â
Vicky knew that big, wealthy families tended to have a lot of rules, and she had witnessed others of
equal status doing the same at their weddings when she was single.
She knew that it was considered normal in elite society, but not only had Orion and Valencia attacked
her, but they also insulted her late parents. She had no intention of caving.
âSorry, but I donât want to,â Vicky said calmly.
Thump!
Orion slammed the table, causing the glasses on the table to fall.
âHow insolent!â Orion never liked Vicky to begin with and was furious that Vicky dared to disobey him.
âHow dare a junior like you defy your senior? Slap her face!â
A young maid immediately darted toward Vicky and slapped her hard on the face twice.
The maid was likely used to hard labor, and her strike was extremely powerful. Vickyâs cheeks were
instantly swollen, and she started to see stars under the impact.
âGet her down on her knees!â Valencia ordered.
Vicky had yet to recover from the slap when someone kicked her on the knees.
