Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 75

Carl howled and stood up abruptly, running towards Jack, "Jack, she wants to hit me with a pillow!"

Jack didn't bother asking for the reason; he just said, "Then why aren't you standing still? Why are running?"

Carl was bemused.

Should he stand still and let his sister-in-law smash him?

‘Jack, is this how you prioritize romance over brotherhood??’

Carl instantly feigned being emotional, fake tears streaming down his face, "Okay, okay, these years of affection and time, I have indeed wasted them!"

Victoria was puzzled.

What was wrong with him?

Victoria put down the pillow, intending to ask Jack what he was doing upstairs. As she turned around, she met the man's deep and enchanting gaze.

There seemed to be a simmering warmth in the depths of his eyes.

Victoria's heart raced, and she averted her gaze in confusion.

Grabbing the pillow again, she threw it at Carl. "See what happens when you talk nonsense."

Carl, who was confused, said, "Why are you hitting me again?"

Carl clasped his hands together and begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Victoria, I'll go first, I won't disturb your alone time again!"

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to slip away.

Victoria narrowed her eyes, "Stop."

Carl stopped there and looked back miserably, "Is there something else?"

Victoria was about to speak when her phone rang—it was a call from Elizabeth.

Victoria swiped the screen to answer.

At this moment, Jack already understood that when Carl said that Victoria missed him, it must be one of his nonsense, but he actually took it seriously.

She thought that Victoria really missed him.

Jack narrowed his eyes and glanced at Carl casually.

Carl was terrified.

He has been caught.

Jack has realized it!

Victoria finished the call with Elizabeth and was no longer in the mood to fool around with Carl. She frowned slightly in annoyance.

"What happened?" Jack walked over and asked."

"Something happened at Elizabeth's house." Victoria explained, "Her father hit a car on the road at noon today, it wasn't serious, and no one was injured, he just needed to pay for compensation and repair fees, but that person is troublesome and unwilling to settle!"

The owner of the car that was hit was Dave Phillips, a well-known rich second generation, relying on his family's power to cause trouble all day long.

No matter how much compensation Elizabeth's family offered, Dave refused to reconcile, threatening to send Elizabeth's father to jail.

Elizabeth's father tried using connections, but no one dared to intervene against Dave Phillips.

It was clear that Dave Phillips was really powerful.

Elizabeth called just now, crying uncontrollably. Her father was about to be sent to jail by Dave, even though the charges are baseless. Dave has too much influence."

After hearing the details, Carl commented, "Damn, that scumbag Dave is causing trouble again? By the way, let's see how to help her."

Victoria was worried, "Elizabeth is crying so much, I'll go see her."

Carl raised his chin and gestured in Jack's direction, "Victoria, why do you need to make a trip? Why can't you just ask Jack? It's just a matter of Jack's words."

Victoria's eyes twitched slightly, looking at Jack beside him, "Well?"

Carl smiled happily and said, "Jack can solve it for you with just a few words."

Dave Phillips might be influential, but in front of Jack, he is nothing.

Victoria's eyes flickered, not being pretentious, she pulled Jack to sit on the sofa, "You've been busy all day, are you tired? Shall I massage your shoulders?"

Jack puzzled.

Carl pretended to cover his eyes, not daring to look. "You can enjoy your sweet time together. I'll leave now."

After saying that, he swiftly departed.

After a few seconds, she withdrew her hand as an afterthought, "Then I'll beat you up."

Jack was bemused.

Victoria said and actually punched him twice.

However, no force was exerted.

Jack lowered his eyes and glanced at the spot where she hit him. He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her wrist again. He lowered his eyelashes and looked at her. His eyes were dark and deep.

The air inexplicably became sensual.

Victoria swallowed hard, feeling a bit thirsty, "Well, I have something to report to you."

He raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"

Using the term "report," she sounded quite self-aware

Victoria avoided his sticky gaze, picked up the water glass with her other hand, took a sip, and calmly said, "I met Mason Sawyer today. Do you remember him?"

Upon hearing this name, Jack's eyes sank.

Mason Sawyer...

Of course, he remembered that Victoria wanted to cancel the marriage alliance because she fell in love with a high school classmate.

And the high school classmate she liked was Mason Sawyer.

Well, it was the first time he felt the pang of jealousy.

"Meet Mason Sawyer, and then what?" Jack stared at her without blinking, seemingly observing her.

"And then?" Victoria thought about it for a moment, and said confidently, "Then we chatted for a while, exchanged phone numbers, and nothing else."

Exchanging phone numbers...

Jack glanced at her phone, clouds of gloom swirling in his eyes.

At this moment, Victoria sighed, "People grow up; things change. Mason Sawyer looks even more handsome than he did in school..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her chin was suddenly pinched by the man.
