“Is that so?” Victoria asked, skeptical, as she glanced at Alan.
The boy was so talented at just five years old. What would he be like when he grew up? She couldn’t help but joke.
“Alan, I didn’t expect you to be such a sharpshooter at such a young age! Impressive. Can you teach me your perfect. marksmanship?”
“It’s just a toy gun. I’m not that good at shooting. But Victoria, I didn’t expect you to be so good at fighting. Is that what your do for work?” Alan asked directly.
Christy was also curious about it.
She had been busy settling the children and finding a job since she returned home a few days ago. She really didn’t know. what Victoria did for a living.
“What kind of job is about fighting? Do you think I’m part of the underworld or something? Don’t talk nonsense, kiddo!” Victoria said with a smile.
“I’m a freelancer, and my hobby is writing books. However, I have a habit that every time I write a book in a certain genre, I learn the skills the characters master. The protagonist of my last book practiced Taekwondo, so I went to learn it myself. I never thought it would come in handy one day,” Victoria explained.
“Wow! You’re amazing! I really want to read your novels. I want to be your fan!” Clara exclaimed excitedly, clapping her hands.
“All the books on the bookshelf at home are the ones I’ve published. Clara, study hard and learn more words so that you can read them!” Victoria said, feeling a little conceited.
“Okay! I’ll study hard and read all of your novels as soon as possible!” Clara said with an innocent smile.
Victoria was pleased by Clara’s flattery.
It was so good to have a new fan.
When Alan saw Clara starting to admire Victoria, he felt a little annoyed.
Clara was his, and her idol could only be Alan!
“You definitely don’t have a boyfriend, Alan suddenly blurted out.
“How do you know, Alan? Victoria is so pretty. How could she not have a boyfriend?” Clara asked.
“Because there isn’t even a romance novel on that bookshelf. Without the experience, she wouldn’t be able to write one,” Alan said with a dark expression.
“Oh, I see!” Clara’s eyes shimmered as she looked at Victoria. She used a cutesy voice and said, “Victoria, you should find a domineering man as your boyfriend! I want to read romance novels, especially those about domineering men!”
Christy burst out laughing.
She never knew her two kids could be so humorous!
“Don’t laugh!” Victoria was extremely depressed.
Clara was so sweet, but why did Alan have to be so sarcastic?
It was hard to imagine that the two kids came from the same womb.
In terms of appearance and personality, naive Clara resembled Christy more. That meant Alan resembled his father?
Like father, like son. Victoria could already imagine what kind of person Joshua was.
Meanwhile, in a dark corner of the alley, the two men who had just been beaten up finally woke up.
One of them pulled out his phone and made a video call.
The call was answered
Surprisingly, it was Gloria on the other end!
Upon seeing the two men with their swollen faces, Gloria frowned and said displeasedly, “Didn’t I ask you to humiliate Christy and then take pictures of her in a miserable state? Why did you end up like this?”
It turned out that those two men were really sent by Gloria.
Over the years, Gloria had flourished in showbiz. She was not stupid and didn’t want to bow her head. Hence, she had long made use of Joshua’s reputation to establish her own studio and her own team.
Therefore, when she normally took on acting jobs, she only did decent jobs. Others thought Gloria was with Joshua and dared not do anything to her. As a result, she never encountered any trouble.

Those two men were both employees of Gloria’s company.
“Gloria, sorry. We messed up… We didn’t expect that woman’s friend to be so good at fighting, and her son was tough to handle. Actually, we suffered a lot…” the thin man whined.
“What? She has a son?” Gloria was surprised.
“Not just one son, but also a daughter, the thin man answered honestly.
Gloria was even more shocked!
No wonder Christy suddenly disappeared for six years. It turned out that she was impregnated by someone and had two children in hiding!
There had been no news of Christy getting married, nor had Gloria ever seen Christy with any man.
In other words, Christy, the wicked woman, gave birth to two illegitimate children!
What an indecent and disgusting person!
“What should we do, Gloria?” the thin man asked uneasily.
“You messed up this time, and it has alarmed her. It may be difficult to have another chance in the short term. How about you continue to keep an eye on Christy for me? If there is anything, report to me immediately,” Gloria said.
“Understood. Gloria, the two men responded respectfully.
Gloria hung up.
Her face was full of gloom.
She had been by Joshua’s side for several years and tried everything to win his favor. However, no matter how beautiful and popular she became, she could never enter Joshua’s heart.
But she had managed to maintain a pure and virtuous image, which made Joshua think of her as a decent girl. However, Christy’s sudden appearance caused Gloria’s efforts over the past few years to go down the drain. In a fit of anger, Joshua almost terminated their contract.
How can Christy compensate Gloria for that?
Gloria felt resentful. Now that Gloria had discovered Christy’s big secret, why wouldn’t Gloria take the opportunity to retaliate? Gloria smirked maliciously and thought to herself, “Christy, you and your two brats, your good days are over! Once tomorrow’s newspapers come out, you will have no face to show and no chance of turning things around!”
At that moment, Gloria’s phone rang.
It was a call from Joshua’s assistant Terence.
Gloria felt happy in her heart. Could it be that Joshua needed her?
Usually, Joshua would contact her through Terence.
Her expression changed from gloomy to bright in an instant. Gloria answered the phone with a sweet voice, “Mr. Spence,
hello!”
Terence spoke in a cold tone, “Miss Gloria, Mr. Melendez will attend a ball tonight and invites you to be his dance partner. If you’re available, I will send a car to pick you up in an hour.”
“I’m available. Of course, I’m free! I’ll get dressed up.” Gloria was so excited that she immediately agreed, feeling ecstatic.
Great!
Joshua was asking her out again, which meant he had really forgiven her!
After hanging up the phone, Gloria started to prepare herself and dress up beautifully. She wanted to show up in front of Joshua with her most stunning look.
It was at the ballroom of the Blue Hotel.
The ball was jointly organized by the leaders of the city’s business district and attended by nobles and socialites.
That night, Joshua wore a white suit, which added a touch of elegance to his usual coldness.
