Chapter 414
Karma always finds its way. The rumors were proven true, yet she kept pretending to be innocent. Everyone agreed she deserved a new title: Queen of Deceit.
Now let’s all go listen to that song she sang—'I Want to Hold Your Hand Forever.' How laughable! More like 'I Want to Betray You Forever'!
They call this poetic justice. Alexander cheated on Isabella, and now Victoria cheated on him! He had it coming!
No one will ever forget how Victoria Kensington played him. And she even had the nerve to sing 'I Have Nothing to Hide.' Then why not tell the truth, you liar?
Victoria and Alexander’s reputations shattered completely. Over at Montgomery Manor…
Theodore Montgomery hired the top private investigator. The findings were clear: everyone at the café that day was high-profile. None had any motive to harm the Montgomery family. No one drugged Victoria.
One corner camera survived deletion. It showed only Harrison Caldwell entering the room after Victoria. No one else went in.
The investigation also revealed Victoria’s own staff deleted the other footage. If she were truly drugged, the culprit would have erased the evidence. All signs pointed to her lying.
Richard Montgomery was livid. He arranged an immediate abortion while she was still unconscious. It didn’t matter if the baby was Alexander’s or Harrison’s—it could not be born.
The Whitmore family cut all ties with Victoria that day. She would not be marrying some assistant either.
Theodore’s face was stormy. “Release a statement,” he ordered. “The Montgomerys are revoking all her shares. She will learn her lesson. She’ll sign the transfer documents the moment she wakes.”
Richard did not object. Eleanor Kensington sighed but stayed silent. She never imagined her favorite daughter would fall this far.
They had forgiven Victoria’s many shameful mistakes. But she betrayed their trust. Taking back her shares was the only way to salvage the family’s dignity.
Inside her room, Victoria opened her eyes with effort. Pain and rage filled her. Ruined. Everything was ruined.
She was so close to marrying Alexander. Now this scandal destroyed any chance with him. Her life was over. How could she face anyone? How could she go on living?
Just then, Penelope Sinclair entered quietly. “Madam,” she reported softly. “They said… once you wake up, you must return all your shares.”
All her shares? All thirty percent she fought so hard to get? She would have nothing left. No money. No status. Nothing.
No. She would not allow this. She had to think of something. Fast.
A dark idea formed. She spoke weakly. “Get out. Don’t tell anyone I’m awake.”
“Yes, Madam.” Penelope felt Victoria’s icy glare. She hurried out, frightened. She knew Victoria too well. Something terrible was brewing.
Penelope didn’t dare stay another second. Once the door closed, Victoria struggled to her feet. She dragged herself toward the window.
