Chapter 495

"Don't get smug, Victoria. One day, I'll take back everything you owe me. Edith broke up my parents-she deserved exactly what she got."

"I should've done it long ago. Don't forget-you still owe me a hundred million, and I can take you to court whenever I want. I'd think twice before messing with me again."

With that, Victoria turned on her heel and strode away, Emily at her side and not sparing Yulia so much as a glance as they passed her in the hallway. To Victoria, Yulia was nothing more than an irrelevant sideshow-hardly worth a second look.
