Chapter 920: Meeting Victoria Again!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At one o’clock in the afternoon, Victoria finished attending Hailey’s grandmother’s birthday banquet and walked out of the hotel.
At this moment, Jordan from 2020 and Hailey had already left the party early to go to register their divorce at the City Clerk Office.
Victoria had driven to the venue, but because she had drunk a little wine, she didn’t drive back. Instead, she called her secretary, Ashley, to get her a taxi.
Ashley soon arrived in a rented car. She still had the image of a sexy secretary. Her sharp suit and black glasses made men’s imaginations run wild.
At the car rental, the staff kept trying to chat up Ashley, hoping to get a date with her. But this woman, whom many ordinary men were infatuated with, instantly paled in comparison to Victoria.
When Ashley and Victoria stood together, no man would give Ashley a second glance. After all, Victoria’s aura and looks were completely superior to Ashley’s.
Ashley arrived and drove off with Victoria.
As they drove, Ashley asked, “Ms. Clarke, why do you look so pale? Did the Camdens upset you?”
Victoria sat in the front passenger seat and said, “The Camdens need my help. How would they dare to provoke me? It’s that young man, the Camdens’ live-in son-in-law.”
Ashley asked curiously, “Huh? A live-in son-in-law dared to offend you? What did he do to you?”
Victoria said, “Today is really interesting. The Camdens joined forces to destroy that young man’s life. I couldn’t stand it anymore. I felt that that boy had quite a personality and was quite good-looking, so I helped him out and made him my personal bodyguard.”
“Personal bodyguard?” Ashley was a little surprised. “Ms. Clarke, did you read some online novel about personal bodyguards? Moreover, today’s banquet was hosted by the Camdens. Yet, you didn’t hesitate to offend them, all for a stranger? Have you taken a liking to that young man?”
Victoria chuckled but did not refute.
......
Jordan was indeed Victoria’s type, at least in terms of looks.
“What happened after that? That live-in son-in-law should be grateful to you, right? After all, he’s just a freeloader,” Ashley said.
Victoria shook her head. “No, he rejected me and… he pulled my ear.”
Victoria recalled Jordan’s bold move and felt a wave of indignance.
It had been many years since she had been touched by a man.
“Huh? He doesn’t know what’s good for him! Being Ms. Clarke’s personal bodyguard is something that many people want to do.”
Ashley was very surprised.
Victoria crossed her arms in frustration. “Jordan is really annoying. He’s the first man to reject me since I came to Orlando!”
The first time Victoria and Jordan met, Jordan was being bullied by the Camdens and the other guests. As a stranger, it was not an easy thing for Victoria to go against the hosts and help Jordan. Later on, she said she wanted to boycott Jordan, but she didn’t actually mean it. She was just angry at him for rejecting her.
In fact, she hoped that Jordan would come looking for her again one day, that he would come and beg her…
Screech!
“Ooff.”
Just as Victoria was thinking about all that, Ashley suddenly braked hard. Victoria was so startled that she tumbled forward and cried out.
An old man had suddenly appeared just as they were passing an intersection. Ashley immediately stepped on the brakes.
The old man instantly fell to the ground.
“Oh no… Ms. Clarke, did I hit someone? Is this old man dead? What should I do?”
Ashley was so frightened that she cried.
She was just a lowly secretary with a monthly salary of only $2,000. If she really killed someone, it would be very troublesome.
Victoria was more mature and rational. When faced with such a situation, she did not panic at all. She quickly opened the car door.
“Go and take a look!”
The two of them hurried out of the car to check on the old man who had been hit. The old man was wearing sunglasses and lying on the ground. There was no blood on the ground or his body.
Not far away on the ground was a wooden sign that said “Fortune-telling Services”.
This old man was Jordan from 2022.
He knew Victoria would definitely pass by this road on the way back from the hotel where the Camdens were holding the birthday banquet. Therefore, he had been waiting here for Victoria at this intersection.
“Sir, how are you? Are you injured?”
Victoria walked forward with concern and held Jordan’s arm.
“Sir, are you alright? Please be fine.”
Ashley went over as well, looking very nervous.
Jordan looked at Victoria. Through the lenses of his sunglasses, Victoria looked a little hazy, and this made her appear especially beautiful.
‘Victoria…’
Jordan felt like he was dreaming. For the past month or so, he had been waiting by Victoria’s side day and night. Even in his dreams, he hoped to hear her speak.
Now, he finally heard Victoria’s pleasant voice again!
“Sir, are… you alright?”
Victoria guessed that he was some blind fortune-teller, but she didn’t understand why he kept staring at her after getting up.
Even if he wasn’t blind, an old man shouldn’t be staring at her like that.
Ashley asked in fear, “Did the collision affect his brain? I heard a bang just now. I think I hit him.”
The car did bump into Jordan’s leg, but he was a superhuman who had been injected with the Mirakuru serum. With Ashley’s speed of no more than 40 miles per hour, he was completely fine.
Victoria immediately said, “Sir, don’t be afraid. We’ll send you to the hospital now. Don’t worry, we will definitely pay for your medical fees and give you compensation.”
After all, Victoria was a very responsible and kind woman. Although her secretary was the one driving, she already planned to bear all the compensation.
Hearing Victoria’s sweet voice again, Jordan felt as if he was a desert who finally got rain. He wished he could hug her tightly and tell her how much he missed her!
After composing himself, Jordan finally spoke.
“I am fine.”
Jordan’s voice was processed by Shaun’s special device.
Jordan modified the device so that it could be pinned discreetly to his collar.
As for Jordan’s altered voice, he did not choose the voice of an old man. Instead, he chose the voice of Victoria’s father, Norman!
Victoria froze when she heard Jordan’s altered voice.
“This old man’s voice… is so similar to my father’s.”
