Chapter 268 Sparkle and Blossom

Hope nodded and said, “You’re right, Maia. We have to think from all angles before doing anything. Acting recklessly is just asking for trouble!”

Victoria agreed. “That’s right. The business world is a battlefield, especially when there’s something to be gained. The same can be said for wealthy families too.

“Everyone is scheming and plotting against each other to gain more power. It ends in a bloodbath every time! I wouldn’t have cut ties with my family otherwise…” She sighed.

“Victoria…” Hope felt sorry for her. The Smith family is also a renowned family, ranking just slightly below the Larkins. She could talk about the family feuds for days and nights and she would get no closer to finishing the story.

The Larkins were enjoying relative peace because everyone was wary of Cedric. They could do nothing but lie in wait.

The same couldn’t be said for the Smiths, though. No one had the capability to reign over the entire family. So, they were divided by countless internal feuds over the family properties.

Maia saw that Victoria was very sad about it. She said, “It’s always darkest before the dawn.”

Victoria raised her head, looked at Maia, and smiled, “That does it, Hope. Maia is my friend too now!”

“Like two peas in a pod.” Maia glanced at Victoria. She would love to be her friend. They were so similar in terms of their tempers. Fate must have brought them together.

The three of them enjoyed each other’s company so much so that Victoria handpicked a gown

for Maia to wear to The Horizon Awards.

“The gown Hope picked for you earlier suits you exceptionally well. I call it Sparkle. It matches your bright future, Maia. That’s why you’re going to put it on!”

Victoria gave the gown to Maia, “I designed it myself. I’m not letting you turn me down. Otherwise, I’ll feel very bad.”
