Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 173

Peter faced Jack with a noticeable hint of nervousness in his calm demeanor.

Lucas, on the other hand, was excited and had a big smile on his face. He even bent over, flattering and complimenting, "Mr. Moore, greetings! I am Victoria's father. I never expected you to appreciate my daughter so much. It's truly an honor!"

Upon hearing this, Victoria's face instantly turned cold.

Victoria?

His daughter?

Hah, it's ridiculous. When she was still in the Montgomery family, did Lucas ever address her like this?

Now, just because Jack said he appreciated her, he puts on this submissive face.

Victoria looked at Lucas's face and couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Jack, who was paying close attention to Victoria's expression, noticed her displeasure. His gaze suddenly turned cold as he looked at Lucas, and a chilling aura spread in his eyes, as if it was freezing cold.

Lucas was inexplicably frightened and trembled. Seeing that Jack ignored him, he once again put on a flattering face and said, "Mr. Moore, I really didn't expect you to appreciate my daughter so much. It's an honor for her to be favored by you."

After Lucas finished speaking, he looked at Victoria and his flattering face immediately turned stern. He scolded in a low voice, "Thank Mr. Moore!"

A hint of mockery curved at the corner of Victoria's mouth. "Mr. Montgomery, it seems like you have mistaken me for someone else. Who is your daughter?"

"Victoria… Victoria!" Lucas was so angry that he wanted to shout Victoria's full name, but considering that Jack was here and Jack treated Victoria so differently, he could only deceive Victoria and let her convince Jack to invest in the Montgomery family.

This would not only solve the urgent problem for the Montgomery family but also allow the Montgomery family to climb aboard the ship of the Moore Group, killing two birds with one stone.

Lucas suppressed his anger and said, "Victoria, how can you say such things? Even if there are conflicts between family members, we should resolve them in a timely manner. Don't be willful outside!"

Victoria easily understood the underlying meaning in Lucas's words. "Don't be willful outside? Mr. Montgomery, are you afraid of causing a scene in front of outsiders and losing face? I'm curious, what else is there to lose for the Montgomery family when they have already lost everything?"

"You!" Lucas's face turned red with anger. He wanted to point at Victoria, but when he saw Jack, who was as cold as ice, he had to forcibly restrain himself.

With each word Victoria spoke, her eyes grew colder. "Lucas, I cut off all ties with the Montgomery family a long time ago. I have no ties with you anymore. Stop pretending that I'm your daughter!"

This time, Lucas was so angry that his fingers trembled.

This own daughter of his, Victoria, was here to torment him. Sooner or later, he would be angered to death by this unfilial child!

Why couldn't she be as sensible as Amelia?!

If it weren't for the fact that he still wanted Victoria to persuade Jack to invest in the Montgomery family, Lucas would have slapped Victoria in the face already.

Now, he could only endure it and speak with an elder's tone of advice,

"Victoria, how can you say that? Even if there were misunderstandings in the past, let's put them behind us. Victoria, come home. Let's live together as a family from now on, alright?"

Victoria felt nauseous. "Go home? Don't disgust me!"

Peter wanted to speak but hesitated when he saw Jack beside him. He moved his lips but ultimately swallowed the words.

Lucas took a deep breath and decided to go all out. "Even if your mother and I did something wrong, which parents in this world haven't made mistakes? We will reflect on ourselves. Come home!"

Peter furrowed his brows slightly. "Father, please lower your voice. Victoria can understand."

Just then, Elizabeth came out of the restroom and scanned the banquet hall with her eyes. When she saw Victoria with her family, she immediately ran over, worried.

"Victoria! Are you okay?"

Victoria felt warmth in her heart and shook her head.

Then, Victoria looked at Lucas, a sarcastic smile playing on her cherry lips, and her gaze turned icy, devoid of any warmth.

"Lucas, you said that the blood of the Montgomery family runs through my veins. Fine, I will help the Montgomery family. I will make the Montgomery family suffer more and make sure there is no chance for them to rise from the ashes!"

Victoria spoke each word coldly and sternly.

Lucas felt a sharp pain in his chest and pressed his hand against it. His heart almost stopped beating, and he almost fainted. Peter quickly supported him.

After Victoria finished speaking, she took Elizabeth and left.

She was wearing a beautiful navy blue dress, standing tall and proud, exuding an air of determination that she would never turn back. Her delicate and fair face appeared cold and elegant.

Victoria felt disgusted once again.

Why does the blood of the Montgomery family, the people she detests the most, flow through her body?

Victoria felt suffocated and her long and dense eyelashes trembled. In a daze, she saw Ralph standing not far away, walking towards her...
