(Olivin’s POV)
“Is that so? Are you so sure?” I asked Victoria with a sneer, watching her face closel
Victoria’s perfectly painted lips twitched slightly. “Of course!” she retorted, but I could see the uncertainty in
her eyes.
I took a step closer, lowering my voice. “Victoria, I overheard Eleanor calling you last night.”
Her expression remained neutral, but I noticed her fingers tense at her sides.
“If Ethan knew that your first place win in the Pack Healer’s Crystal Competition was bought by Eleanor for fifty million dollars…
The effect was immediate. Victoria’s pupils constricted with shock, her composure momentarily shattered.
She hadn’t expected this.
But Victoria Frost wasn’t one to stay rattled for long. Within seconds, she had regained her poise, her lips curving into a calculated smile.

defiant stance.

her with such coldness.

My lips curled into a sarcastic smile. This was the difference between love and indifference
Even though Victoria had practically admitted to using underhanded methods, something Ethan detested, he was still willing to give her a chance to explain. But for me, any baseless accusation from Victoria was enough for Ethan to condemn me.
Past memories flashed through my mind like a slideshow.
