Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 23

In the next second, the corners of Victoria's lips curved into a smile, "I'll move to the guest room!"

Victoria pursed her rosy lips. "I've been occupying your room. I'm really sorry."

Jack remained silent, his gaze locked onto her for a while. Then he suddenly tilted the corner of his lips and teased, "Victoria, do you also feel sorry for me?"

Victoria was stunned at first, then glared at him fiercely, "What do you mean!"

She seemed to be acting rather thick-skinned.

Raising his left hand, the man revealed a protruding bone at his wrist – it was exquisitely defined, and it bore a bite mark from her childhood. "You were quite fierce when you bit me back then."

Victoria suddenly felt a twinge of guilt.

Her glare softened, no longer fiercely directed at him.

Jack raised his eyebrows. "You can sleep in this master bedroom."

Victoria scratched her head, "Wouldn't that be like taking over someone else's territory?"

The man playfully hooked the corner of his lips and let out a seductive chuckle. "Considering that you used to call me 'dear' when you were little, I can't mistreat you."

When she was a child, she often called him dear Jack, but it was quite a long time ago.

Victoria looked around the room and said, "There are still many of your belongings in this room. Should I tidy them up and move them to your room for your convenience?"

"No need, I'll get it myself when I need it."

"Ah? So, you will frequently come here? Isn't that inconvenient?"

"Not at all." Jack's tone was laden with nonchalance, and he was clearly unbothered by any inconvenience.

Jack lowered his gaze, his dark and deep eyes focused on her. "The finals of 'National Dancing Contest' are in a week, right?"

Victoria nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Jack replied, "There's an auction tomorrow night. Do you want to attend?"

Victoria thought about it for a while. It was not bad for her to prepare for the finals. Moreover, she had not been to an auction for a long time. She was a little excited and immediately nodded, "Yes, I'd like to go."

"Okay, then I'll take you there tomorrow." Jack took the documents and said in a low voice, "Good night."

Victoria blinked her eyes in surprise, "...Good night."

Jack lifted his leg and departed, closing the door gracefully behind him.

Victoria stood there for a while, then lay back and threw herself on the big soft bed.

After so many years of separation, she initially found Jack somewhat unfamiliar. But after spending these past few days together, she felt herself gradually reverting to the past.

-

The next night, Victoria went to the auction with Jack.

Jamal drove in front.

Victoria and Jack sat in the back seat.

In less than half an hour, they arrived at the auction site.

Victoria noticed that there was a staff member at the entrance. To enter the auction, you needed to present an invitation, and the staff would inspect it before granting access.

Victoria followed Jack, waiting for him to get the invitation. However, several managers from the auction approached directly to greet him with utmost respect, ushering him into a private room on the second floor.

In the private room, the staff prepared tea and snacks.

Victoria sat down on the chair.

From here, you can clearly see the situation in the lobby on the first floor. It can be seen that the location of this private room is very good.

Jack picked up the teapot and poured her a glass of water. He ran his slender, fair fingers along the cup's surface to test the temperature before cautioning her, "It's a bit hot."

Victoria looked at him, "I'm not a three-year-old."

He arched an eyebrow. "Then who was that four-year-old child scalded while drinking water and ended up crying and dropping their gold beans?"

Jamal, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but lower his head and snicker.

Victoria's earlobes reddened, and she gave an embarrassed glare. "Don't talk nonsense; that never happened to me."

The man lowered his eyes and laughed lightly, "Okay, I was the one who said nonsense. We have never been scalded and cried, never."

Lucas stopped. He was stunned for a moment, and then he was even more angry. "You bastard! I hit you, and you dare to stop me!"

Victoria used to regard Lucas as his father and longed for the slightest fatherly love from him. Even if she was slapped, she had no regrets.

But now, Victoria has realized!

Such a person was not worthy of being her father!

Lucas glared at her, and the anger in his eyes flared. "I had gone abroad for a few days. When I came back, I heard from Dempsey that you ran away from home and that you have decided to cut off ties with the family. How could you be so naive!"

Victoria's red lips curled into a sneer, "Mr. Montgomery, since you already know that I have severed ties with the Montgomery family, then you have no right to hit me again."

Montgomery never knew when this daughter who had always been a naive girl became so sharp and outspoken.

Dempsey added fuel to her rage, "Dad, now you know how naive this Victoria is."

Amelia pretended to persuade, "Dempsey don't say that to Victoria..."

"Amelia, you are not allowed to defend her anymore." Lucas interrupted Amelia gently. He did not want to shout at her as if he was afraid of making her upset. When he turned to look at Victoria, his eyes were full of disdain and anger.

"Victoria, how did you sneak into this auction? Get out of here! Before you are found out and humiliate my family!"

Victoria glanced at Lucas with an expressionless face, her eyes sharp and cold. "Mr. Montgomery, please leave my sight."

"You...you evil wench!" Lucas was so angry that he raised his palm again and wanted to her, but at that moment, he saw Jamal coming over not far away.

Jamal was Jack's special assistant, and Lucas naturally recognized him.

The Montgomery family had been trying to establish connections with the Moore family for a long time, and he didn't want to ruin this opportunity. So, he quickly changed his expression and put on a smile.

"Assistant Lewis, what a coincidence to meet you here."

However, in the face of Lucas's flattery, Jamal did not even look at him.

Lucas's wide grin immediately froze on his face.

Before Lucas could finish his words, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

He walked up to Victoria and, with a respectful and cautious attitude, said, "Miss Montgomery, allow me to escort you back to the private room."
