Chapter 820
Spoiled by the President
Vickie suddenly thought about what Andrea said about concubines earlier, and a faint mocking light surfaced under her eyes.
âDo you need something?â
She spoke casually.
Yuliana seemed to be especially happy today. She swayed her hips as she walked up to Vickie and said, âItâs nothing. Gregory just sent someone to bring a lot of good things over, so I thought, since youâre also here, I specially sent over a few for you. I canât just enjoy all the good stuff myself.
Look.â
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and Ginny immediately came over with a tray.
Yuliana picked up the contents of the tray and put them on the table in front of her.
âA first-rate Changbai Mountain Ginseng. If stewed, not only can it beautify your skin, itâs also good for longevity. You can have this.â
Vickieâs gaze fell on the ginseng that had been thrown on the table.
At this moment, Andrea just happened to finish putting away the dishes and was making her way back when she saw this scene, and her expression immediately darkened.
She lowered her head and hurried over to stand beside Vickie.
âMiss Thomas...â
She thought that Vickie would fight back in anger.
However, she only smiled.
Vickie raised her hand and examined the ginseng, and smiled. âIt really is first-rate. In that case, thank you very much.â
Then, she handed it over to Andrea.
âAndrea, keep it.â
Andrea was shocked and widened her eyes.
âMiss Thomas, this...â
Vickie smiled. âItâs a gift from Miss Lynch. How can we brush off her kindness?â
Her fresh and light-hearted appearance was like a clear spring and doused the anger in Andreaâs heart immediately.
She lowered her head and took the ginseng, and said softly, âYes.â
On the other side, Yuliana saw this happen and for some reason felt like she was just punching cotton, making her feel a bit stuffy.
She laughed coldly. âVickie, did you know? Gregory and I are getting married.â
Vickieâs fingers froze.
She looked at Yuliana calmly. âI know. You told me before.â
Yuliana. â...â
She gritted her teeth and gnashed out in a low voice, âArenât you jealous?â
Vickie laughed softly.
Her fingers slowly dug into her palms as if to pinch into her flesh, but the smile on her face was calm as if nothing happened.
âWhy should I be jealous that youâre getting married to him? I donât love him.â
What?
Yuliana was stunned. Just then, she caught sight of a familiar figure approaching not far away out of the corner of her eye.
She immediately laughed and straightened up. Her laughter was light and charming. âThatâs right, although I heard that Gregory and you were childhood sweethearts and you used to be together for a long time, thatâs all your relationship amounted to. When youâre in love, itâs like a powerful force of nature, but when the love is gone, youâll be nothing more than strangers. Thatâs why I understand your current thoughts.â
As she spoke, she kept glancing in the direction of the stairs.
However, the person suddenly stood there, motionless.
Vickie did not see the scene as she was facing away from the entrance.
She only felt as if her heart had been pricked by something. It was not painful, but it was a strange discomfort.
Arguably, she should not care about Gregoryâs private life now.
After all, the relationship between them had been broken four years ago.
It was broken the day he personally sent her to prison.
However, the human heart was always disobedient. The less you wanted to care about anything, the more your heart ended up caring.
Even now when she knew that Yuliana most likely was not telling the truth and was just deliberately making her angry, her heart still could not help but feel irritated.
Vickie took a deep breath to suppress the emotions in her heart, and said, âItâs good that you understand. In that case, itâll save you from coming back to trouble me in the future. You have to know this, although the flies in this world donât bite, itâs still annoying to keep hearing the buzzing in your ears.â
The words could not be considered polite, and Yulianaâs expression immediately changed.
However, perhaps it was because she had considered something else, she did not show anger this time and simply smiled.
âYour words donât make it sound as if you donât care.â
Vickie said coldly, âDo you mean that I have to wish for a hundred years of your fortune to prove that I donât care?â
âOf course.â
Yuliana smiled faintly and approached her step by step, and whispered beside her, âAfter all, if I marry Gregory in the future, Iâll be the lady in charge of this chateau, and youâll be a guest. If you make me feel that youâre still coveting Gregory, then I wouldnât be able to rest assured.â
Vickie laughed at the words as if she had heard a joke.
âCovet? Me? Him?â
She smiled coldly and said, âYuliana Lynch, not everyone in this world is like you, picking up a piece of scrap metal and treating it as if it were a sweet treasure.â
After a pause, she added, âBesides, if I really coveted him, I wouldâve gotten him years ago. Do you think thereâs anything left for you now?â
Yuliana froze.
She did not expect that Vickie could still be this sharp-tongued.
Her eyes flashed and she suddenly raised her hand to grip the wheelchair.
âThe scenery is better over there. Let me push you over to enjoy the breeze.â
Then, she pushed the wheelchair to the edge of the terrace.
Vickie frowned.
She subconsciously refused. âNo, Iâm fine right here.â
âCome on, Iâm telling you. The last time I was here, I stood there to watch the night scene. The view is gorgeous. You canât even see the pond from where we are right now.â
As Yuliana spoke, she continued to push Vickie without allowing her refusal.
Since the both of them spoke in very low voices, the maids standing to the side could not hear what they were saying, let alone Gregory, who was standing at a distance.
When Andrea saw Yuliana push Vickie away, she opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to stop her.
However, in the next moment, she was stopped by Ginny.
Turning, she saw Ginnyâs sneering expression.
âYour Miss Thomas hasnât even said anything yet, so why are you in such a hurry? The two of them are just talking. Do you think Miss Lynch will eat Miss Thomas or something?â
Andrea thought about it and agreed.
Besides, in terms of fighting, not even ten Yulianas would be a match for Vickie.
Hence, Andrea put her mind at ease and did not open her mouth again.
On the other side, Vickie wanted to see just what Yuliana was planning this time, so she only said she was unwilling but still allowed Yuliana to push her forward.
The two of them soon arrived at the edge of the terrace.
The railing of the terrace here was relatively low. If a person stood, it would only reach above their thighs.

ï¤Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Vickie looked down at the pond and moonlight below and asked, âWhat are you trying to say?â
Yuliana smiled. âIt seems like you can see the reason why I pushed you over here is because I had something I wanted to say to you alone.â
