Chapter 47

Victoria took the clothes in Gabrielle’s hands and glanced at them, a hint of confusion in her eyes. Still, she didn’t say anything. She placed the uniform by her pillow, went outside to make a call, then washed up and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Victoria was still sleeping when a loud banging on the door woke her up—

“Still sleeping at this hour? What are you, pigs? Open up!”

“Open up, you hear?! Damn it, those stupid girls!”

Victoria frowned and said to Gabrielle, who was also in a sour mood from getting woken up by the noise, “Stay in bed. I’ll get the door.”

“How annoying can she be?!” Gabrielle mumbled, then turned around and covered her face with her blanket.

Victoria went over to answer the door. Daisy was standing at the entrance, donning a slip dress. She wore a wine red coat loosely on top of it, and there was a bruise-like hickey on her neck.

“What the f*ck are you looking at? Keep looking and I’ll gouge out—” Daisy began shouting, but she swallowed the rest of her sentence under Victoria’s gaze.

Victoria said calmly, “Don’t say I haven’t reminded you. If you curse one more time in front of me, I’ll make sure you never open your mouth again.”

“How dare you!” Daisy craned her neck, her nostrils looking a little larger because of the slight movement.

Victoria smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. “You can try.”

With that, she returned to her own bed.

Daisy’s face turned from pale to a dark hue before turning to red. In the end, she slammed the door shut as if to vent. “Crazy woman,” she muttered under her breath.

Victoria took the uniform and got ready to change into it while pretending not to hear Daisy, but after thinking for a bit, she put the uniform back down.
