Chapter 76

Victoria didn't spare them another glance as she headed upstairs.

Yulia, shaken and angry, waited until Victoria's figure disappeared before shooting a venomous glare at Simms.

"Do you think Victoria already knows about us?"

"Absolutely not," Simms replied with certainty. There was no way Victoria could know about his affair with Yulia.

After the Turner family's demise, he'd rewritten his entire past. He'd hidden Yulia away for years; the fact that Victoria had discovered Yulia's existence was already a freak accident-there was no way Mann and Edith had known about her before they died.

The only explanation was that Victoria was a true Turner through and through- arrogant, untouchable, unable to tolerate even the smallest imperfection.

Sure, you've got those old-timers backing you at Golden Era Enterprises, but you only control fifteen percent of the company. Simms, if I can't marry you soon and give our daughter a proper family name, she'll end up an illegitimate child. How will she ever marry well? You know perfectly well how snobbish that boy's family is..."
