Chapter 2

"I wanted to give you a discount, but it seems that's not necessary! You must pay the full price!"

I reacted and slapped him back immediately.

"I'll beat you to death! I won't give you a penny!"

"Call the police if you have the guts. I don't believe that the Kingsley Family can cover up everything with one hand!"

During these years abroad, I rarely paid attention to the developments in Newport Harbor City.

But even so, I could still hear some news about the Kingsley Family from my father.

I heard that Victoria is successful in her career and is no longer the little girl who followed me around and called me brother when I was little.

She is now a hot figure on the domestic rich list and a true female CEO.

But this time when I return to China, I just want to fulfill my mother's wish to return home and escort her belongings back home. I don't want to have too much involvement with the Kingsley Family.

But I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing as soon as I got off the plane!

Although our Arlington Family is low-key and doesn’t like to cause trouble, we are not afraid of trouble!

What's more, I have been practicing Taekwondo since I was a child, so if we really fight head-on, it's not certain who will win or lose.

Sure enough, the male assistant fell to the ground after being slapped by me and didn't get up for a long time.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted,

"Victoria is here!"

It was indeed Victoria. She was completely different from the young and shy girl in my memory.

She has a tall figure and snow-white skin, and the well-cut haute couture dress makes her temperament even more outstanding.

If there weren't a dozen bodyguards following him, I would have thought it was a fashion show.

But when she looked at me, there was no warmth in her eyes, as if she was looking at a strange object.

I was just about to step forward and say hello when Victoria glanced at the male assistant lying on the ground.

She frowned slightly, but with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

"Blake, why are you lying on the ground?"

When the male assistant saw Victoria appear, the harshness and arrogance on his face were immediately replaced by grievance.

He tilted his head back, his eyes slightly red.

"Victoria, you're here!"

"It was this ignorant fellow who was dragging such a big box and rushing around, and he knocked me down!"

"My poor watch, I only wore it for one day and it got smashed like this by him. There's such a deep scratch and she still refuses to admit it!"

As he said this, he glared at me fiercely.

Victoria's eyes finally fell on me.

"Are you Mrs. Vance's son, Ethan Arlington?"

Her tone was flat, without any warmth.

I met her gaze and responded calmly.

"It's me."

The fragments of the Mother Artemis Lunar Commemorative bottle were in the box behind me, but the woman in front of me, who nominally had subscribed to Legacy Engagement with me, only had her eyes fixed on Blake Harrison's expensive watch.

"This is a limited edition Richard Mille RM 88, there are only ten of them in the world. The scratches are very deep and the possibility of repair is very low. It is basically scrapped."

"Blake didn't lie to you. How are you going to pay for 2.3 million?"

Her eyes were cold, as if she was stating an objective fact.

As a family friend and childhood playmate, she didn't even ask me if I was injured or what was in the broken things in the box.

All she cared about was Blake's million-dollar watch and how I, the perpetrator, should compensate her!

She didn't even know the truth of the matter, but she just indiscriminately labeled me as the one at fault.

A surge of cold anger washed away the last bit of my patience.

It was not about the watch and the huge compensation, but about her attitude at that moment, about her complete disregard for my mother's belongings and her utter contempt for me as a person.
