Chapter 4 I Would Have Come and Picked You up Myself
Victoria was stunned as she subconsciously looked up, finding the face familiar, although she couldnât
recall who exactly it was. In the meantime, the lady noticed her confusion and smiled ambiguously.
âItâs really you. Why didnât you let me know after you came out of prison? Iâm your old friend, arenât I? If
you told me that you were coming out, I would have come and picked you up myself.â As soon as the
lady finished her words, Gabrielle was left with her mouth agape.
Having expected that something like this would happen at some point, Victoria continued to fake a
smile and replied, âI donât know you, Miss.â novelxo.com fast update
Nevertheless, the lady wasnât about to let Victoria go so easily. She then folded her arms and continued
to mock her, asking, âWhat has really become of you? Was it tough living in the prison?â
In response, Victoria pursed her lips in silence, trying her best to keep the smile on her face.
Meanwhile, the lady began to lose her patience when all her sarcastic remarks failed to piss Victoria
off. She soon raised her voice and spoke with a high-pitched voice. âWhatâs wrong with Delta Club?
How could you hire a criminal as your hostess? Look at how she treats your customers. I donât see her
manners at all. Where is your manager? I want to seeâ¦â
âWhat are you doing, Scarlett?â When a deep voice interrupted the lady, Victoria turned around and
saw a silhouette approaching them. At that moment, her memories came back and started to flood her
mind.
Itâs himâ¦.Victoria didnât expect to see Lucas Spritz under such circumstances. Although Lucas was the
only person who had ever visited her in prison, he did that with a strong grudge because he was Bellaâs
brother.
âLook what I ran into, Luke.â
Needless to say, Lucas noticed Victoriaâs presence, and his eyes were filled with unfathomable energy.
He then walked up to her and asked casually, âWhen did you come out?â
âAbout half a month ago.â
Stunned by Victoriaâs frankness, Lucas kept his head down and accidentally caught a glimpse of the
faint scars on her face that prompted him to look away. âGood to know that. Now that youâve regained
your freedom, you should treasure your second chance.â
âThank you.â
Scarlett Palmer was unhappy when she noticed that Lucas wasnât going to give Victoria a hard time.
After all, she had been waiting for a chance to humiliate Victoria, who was a revered and respected
figure back then. Therefore, she raised her eyebrows and seized Lucasâ arm, smiling coquettishly.
âShouldnât we invite our old friend to join us, Luke? What do you say?â
While Lucas only looked at Scarlett in silence, Victoria knew it was unlikely for her to get away with
what was coming at her because that was the reason Christian wanted her to work at Delta Club. Back
then, she had gotten on the wrong side of more people than she could count, knowing that all of them
would want to witness her miserable state.
If it wasnât Scarlett today, it would just be someone else. I guess thatâs how my fate is. After stepping
out of the elevator, Victoria found herself outside a VIP lounge as she could smell a strong alcoholic
scent wafting toward her. Although it was dim inside the room, Scarlett shoved Victoria inside and
asked, âLook who
I Would Have Come and Picked You up Myself
weâve got here.â
