Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 34

Victoria looked at Jack in surprise; she hadn't heard about him before.

A man in a pink shirt introduced himself enthusiastically, "Hello, Victoria! I'm Carl Carter, Jack's grandpa is my grandfather too!"

Victoria raised an eyebrow.

Cousins?

She had heard of the Carter family, an elite in the upper echelons of society.

She hadn't realized there was this connection with the Moore family.

"Please, have a seat, Victoria!" Carl, casual and humorous, continued, "Oh my, no wonder he used to talk about you all the time. Victoria, you're truly stunning, effortlessly outshining a whole group of female celebrities in the entertainment industry! Nice to meet you for the first time!"

"Hello," Victoria managed to reply, slightly taken aback by his warmth and loquacity. Jack used to talk about her often?

She glanced at Jack, who shot a warning look at Carl.

Misunderstood, Carl touched his nose; what was wrong with stating the truth? He did mention Victoria's name frequently.

When Victoria entered, Carl had been captivated.

She wore a goose-yellow embroidered dress, exuding charm and brilliance.

Her naturally fair skin seemed to glow, flawless and eye-catching.

However, what struck Carl the most were Victoria's eyes.

They were pure and lively, resembling a pool of spring water, overflowing with a seductive and innocent allure.

Victoria walked over and sat beside Jack.

Carl followed suit, observing the couple for a while. They were a perfect match.

"Victoria, Jack is really fortunate to have you!"

Carl said, his words causing Victoria's lips to twitch. She looked at Jack, puzzled.

Jack, looking back at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, poured her a cup of tea, and said in a husky voice, "Carl is right."

Victoria was surprised by the whole series of events.

When did he become so eloquent?

Perplexed, she blinked, picked up the tea cup, and drank.

Carl was relentless, eyes rolling mischievously.

"Jack, Victoria, you two, work harder! Oh, and not just me, even our grandpa... I mean, your grandfather, is looking forward to having great-grandchildren!"

Suddenly, Victoria understood.

Carl was probably here on the old man's orders, checking on how she and Jack were getting along.

They were going to divorce in a year; great-grandchildren could wait.

Jack sensed her thoughts, his gaze darkening.

Father Lucas and mother Bella of the Montgomery family descended from upstairs. Bella had a plump figure, dressed in a formal dress, looking elegant and luxurious.

Hearing her children discussing the finals, Bella lovingly touched Amelia's hair. "Amelia, Trent and Dempsey are supporting you. The others are too busy to spare any time to take care of you?"

Amelia sweetly replied, "Mom, it's okay. They sent messages to encourage me. They are just very busy!"

Bella shook her head helplessly. "They are busy every day and rarely come home."

On the surface, it sounded like a complaint, but her tone was full of pride, proud that her sons were successful in their careers. The only dissatisfaction she had was...

"That Victoria, that wretched girl, not only severed ties with us, but she also wants to steal Amelia's first place?"

Bella furrowed her brows, displaying her disdain and disgust for her own daughter.

How could she have such a daughter, always inferior to Amelia? If only she had drowned her in the river when she was born.

"But Mom, Victoria probably..." Amelia lowered her head, acting coyly as she fiddled with her fingers. "Victoria probably wants you all to pay more attention to her. That's why she's doing this. You should all pay more attention to her in the future. I'll be fine."

Bella, upon hearing this, furrowed her brows even tighter. "Amelia, don't say such things. How have we mistreated that wretched girl? We brought her back to the Montgomery family, provided her with food and shelter. Maybe we were a bit strict with her, but 'spare the rod and spoil the child.' Do you understand?"

"But Mom, Victoria is the Montgomery family's own daughter..."

"Amelia, my precious daughter, how many times have I told you? To me, you are my real daughter, even more precious than my own daughter! Do you understand?" Bella said affectionately, her eyes on Amelia.

"Yes, I understand. Mom loves me the most." Amelia endearingly responded to Bella, secretly feeling triumphant.

Victoria, oh Victoria, I've stolen your brother's love, and I've also taken away your parents' love. Even this time, the first place in Dancing Contest belongs to me!
