Chapter 118: You won’t be angry with me, will you?
After an hour of icing, she still found the swollen area painful and uncomfortable, especially when she slipped into her high heels, and the skin felt like it was being stabbed with several needles.
Cold sweat soon spilled from her forehead as she forced herself to continue applying her makeup.
Aggie saw her like this and was a little uncomfortable with it.
“Victoria, should I call Old Mr. Andrews?”
“No need.”
The main purpose of this party was to make Grandpa happy, and he had been so nice to her, and she had previously missed his pickup, so she definitely couldn’t drop the ball on such an important occasion tonight.
Insisting that her makeup be finished, she put on the bracelet Edward had given her and otherwise had no other adornment on her body.
But she was born with white skin and a cold temperament, and with this skirt that purposely highlights her waist, she has a fair temperament, just like a snowy winter plum.
Coupled with the wrist emerald green bracelet, the more the whole person looks crystal clear and immaculate.
Packing up, Victoria got into the car without further delay.
It was only a short time after the car had left that she received a call from Daniel asking her to stop by the house and bring Linda with her.
Victoria’s brow furrowed, “Dad, why, isn’t she unwell?”
“She is not well but she heard about this party and wanted to go up, Edward likes you so much, he won’t blame you if you bring an extra person. Tori, Linda has been hospitalized all these years and hasn’t had a chance to attend such a banquet, so would you let her go with you?”
With Linda, she couldn’t say she liked it or hated it, so she had to say yes.
By the time they arrived home, Linda was already waiting in her gown.
Because of her illness, her entire body was frail, making her look like she needed to be protected.
Cynthia was polite tonight, probably well aware that the only person who could get Linda into tonight’s party was Victoria.
She was calculating in her mind that maybe someone would like Linda just like that, and it wasn’t out of the question that she’d be liked by some rich guy.
It is clear to everyone that Blackwell’s company is just hanging on by a thread right now, and if Linda can find a rich husband, she will have a backer in the future.
“Tori, I’m sorry, I was too willful.”
Linda carefully grabbed Victoria’s hand, “You’re not going to get mad at me, are you?”
Victoria’s face was expressionless as she said softly, “Get in the car first or we’ll be late.”
Linda nodded, carried her skirt and carefully got into the car.
The car was Edward’s to leave at Shannon Villa, and Victoria was riding in it for the first time tonight.
It was a limited edition Bentley, and for an occasion like today, it was never a good idea to drive her car again.
The party started promptly at seven-thirty, and the car drove slowly down the road.
Victoria had something on her mind and instead of chatting with Linda, she kept looking out the window, making her frown when a man in tattered jeans broke into her line of sight.
The man was young and was standing on the side of the road munching on bread. It looked like he had been hungry for a long time and was wolfing it down.
Victoria’s eyesight is excellent and she recognizes it as her runaway cousin, Kevin.
Kevin disappeared for so many years, leaving his parents and wife behind, not caring about anything, not even a phone call.
Aunts and uncles get red in the eyes when they talk about this son, not realizing he would show up in Veridian City.

Victoria shouted, her eyes locked on the man for fear he would run away.
The driver stopped in a hurry and Victoria opened the door and stepped out, not caring about the pain in her ankle.
“Wait for me.”
She left this comment and headed towards Kevin.
