Chapter 690: Victoria: What Did I Do?!
Victoria cried in fear.
She was a woman who paid a lot of attention to her image and others’ judgment of her. She was the number one CEO Beauty in Orlando. After arriving in New York, she was also the number one CEO Beauty there.
No matter where she went, she was respected, admired and praised. How could she accept being cursed by the entire society for being a “murderer”!
Especially since she was innocent. She didn’t kill anyone at all. She didn’t even know what had happened!
This truth was too strange.
!!
No one would accept it.
A person controlled her body to commit murder. Now she had to suffer the consequences. Even if she tried to explain to society and the judge, no one would believe her.
Jordan patted Victoria’s back and comforted her. “Victoria, don’t worry. With me around, nothing will happen to you.”
Lauren also comforted her. “That’s right, Victoria. Whether it’s our husband or hubby’s family, we won’t let you go to jail.”
Victoria knew that Jordan and the Howard family were very powerful in the country. If they wanted to send her overseas now, no one could stop them.
Victoria sobbed. “I don’t want to leave the US. I don’t want to hide overseas for the rest of my life.”
Jordan said, “Victoria, I already have a solution to this matter. Do you still remember that woman who looks like you?”
Victoria nodded. “I remember. That woman from New York who had plastic surgery?”
Jordan nodded. “That’s right. Although your photo has been posted online, there’s a woman in this world who looks like you. Now, I’ve arranged for her to work at my entertainment company. She’s one of my subordinates. I’ll have her admit that she was the one driving.”
Brad smiled. “This move is foolproof. Even if the public opinion online can’t be suppressed, this matter can be resolved perfectly.”
With the Steele and Howard families’ power, it wouldn’t be a problem to keep this matter a secret. Moreover, there was a perfect solution now.
Who could tell if that car was driven by Victoria or that woman who had plastic surgery?
Victoria knew that the woman looked exactly like her. Outsiders would never be able to tell. However, she still felt very uncomfortable. “But no matter what, I still feel very guilty that someone controlled my body to kill someone. Who died? Was it an old man or a child?”
Jordan said, “It was a biker. We’ve found out his ident.i.ty. He’s a drug dealer. The police even managed to arrest a group of drug dealers when they were trying to verify his ident.i.ty. You’ve done a meritorious deed!”
“Really?”
Hearing that the victim was a bad person, Victoria finally gave a small smile.
Jordan nodded. “When the accident happened, that motorcycle man had just done some drugs. He ran a red light and didn’t wear a helmet. Even if he didn’t meet you, he would have been killed by someone else. So, honey, you don’t have to feel too guilty.”
Victoria finally felt better.
After calming herself down, Victoria continued to ask, “What happened after that? After cras.h.i.+ng into the biker, where did I go? Was I brought to the police station?”
At this moment, Jordan, Lauren and Brad’s expressions were a little grim.
“What’s wrong? Why do you all look so grim? That bad woman, what did she do with my body this time?” Victoria asked anxiously.
She had been unconscious for the past 10 hours. She didn’t know what she had done. This was terrifying!
Lauren said, “Victoria, don’t be anxious. When the car crashed, Russell happened to be across the road and saw it. He brought you away. Not long after, Jordan rushed over to negotiate with that woman. After that, she went to the cinema to watch a movie. We just brought you back from the cinema.”
Victoria heaved a sigh of relief. “You scared me to death. I thought that bad woman would do something evil.”
Jordan caressed Victoria’s forehead and said, “Victoria, don’t think too much. It’s fine. With me around, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Victoria nodded gratefully and asked, “Hubby, you said that you killed that woman just now. Will her people take revenge? She doesn’t look like an ordinary person.”
Lauren also became worried. “That’s right, Hubby. Didn’t you say that that woman has a husband? If her husband finds out, will he take revenge on you?”
Brad said, “I sent someone to block the news of her death and prevented that woman from being sent to the morgue.”
Jordan said indifferently, “It’s alright. Her husband already hates me. I killed his mother and s.n.a.t.c.hed the girl he had groomed for many years. Even if I didn’t kill his wife, he wouldn’t have let me off!”
Victoria immediately became nervous. “What should we do then?”
In response, Jordan tried to comfort her.”It’s fine. The secret families are hunting him down. I believe he will be caught soon. Besides, I’m still useful to him. Even if he finds me, I’ll be fine. Anyway, don’t worry about me. I have many people protecting me. As for you guys, you must be very careful and not let anything happen to you.”
At this moment, Lauren brought over a bowl of hot soup and handed it to Victoria. “Victoria, have some hot soup.”
Victoria shook her head. “Thank you, Lauren but I have no appet.i.te now. I feel that after being possessed by that ugly old woman, my body is very dirty. I want to take a shower.”
Lauren nodded. “Okay, go ahead.”
Victoria had just stood up when Jordan stood up as well and hugged her from behind. “Honey, can I shower with you?”
Although Victoria blushed shyly, she nodded. She needed Jordan right now.
Jordan also knew that Victoria just had a nightmarish experience. If she was alone in a confined s.p.a.ce, her imagination would run wild.
Lauren was not jealous. Instead, she teased them. “Victoria, I’m so envious of you. When our husband comes back, the first person he dotes on is you. I don’t even have a chance.”
Jordan hooked Lauren’s nose. “Don’t worry, I won’t neglect anyone tonight.”
…
Meanwhile, Charleston, who was in England, held a video conference with the other secret families in his bedroom.
The images of seven people appeared on a holographic projection against a white wall.
As the leader of the eight great families, Chairman Rong was the first to ask, “Mr. Steele, you suddenly called for this video conference. Is there something you want to announce?”
Park Sang-jun yawned. “You better have something important to say. Otherwise, you would have disturbed my rest for nothing!”
Charleston looked at the other family members and said, “Yes, I have good news to announce. My grandson, Jordan, just told me that he has killed Shaun Handley’s wife, Clara. They are the ones who were controlling the Schmid family!”
