Chapter 12
Victoria in the video bore no resemblance to the arrogant and overbearing woman she was now.
She was dragged into the bathroom, forced to drink toilet water, her once- lush hair hacked into uneven tufts…
At its worst, someone even tossed a venomous snake into her school bag.
Victoria knelt on the ground, blood staining her lips as she begged for mercy, looking utterly disheveled and cowardly.
But the scene shifted–once back in Washington, Victoria became haughty and malicious.
She’d transformed from victim to perpetrator.
Every form of torture that had been inflicted on her, she now inflicted on
others.
Whether it was illegitimate children of noble families, random passersby who angered her, but most notably, Olivia.
Whispers spread through the crowd.
[Oh my god!
Who would’ve thought Victoria was so malicious!]
[This is the classic “I got rained on, so I’ll tear up others‘ umbrellas,” isn’t it?]
[Looking at this, Victoria’s actually the interloper between Alexander and Olivia. How dare she call Olivia a homewrecker?]

The icy, piercing curses threatened to puncture her eardrums.
Victoria’s face paled drastically, cornered like a trapped animal.
She screamed in fury: “No!
I didn’t!
This video is fake!
I’m the victim!”
Her words triggered a flood–many young elites stepped forward, personally testifying against her crimes.
Everyone condemned her vehemently.
Just as Victoria teetered on the edge of despair, James, arrived at the
scene.
Her dull, gray eyes lit up instantly: “Dad!”
What greeted her was a resounding slap, followed by James’s enraged
voice:
“Wretched child!
Look at what you’ve done?
James tossed a thick stack of termination contracts at her feet.
All from illegitimate children she’d bullied, and young elites from less affluent noble families.

At first only a few companies had threatened to terminate partnerships, but soon nearly half their collaborators sent termination notices.
Blinded by rage, James publicly disowned Victoria on the spot.
News of Victoria’s expulsion from the Beaumont family spread like wildfire–she became a pariah, reviled by all.
For the next month, she could only hide in a dim hotel room, surviving on her mother’s handouts.
Meanwhile, Alexander manipulated public opinion, just as he’d once done to Olivia and her mother.
He lived in constant anxiety, obsessively waiting for news of Olivia.
But every time, he was bitterly disappointed.
So he drowned himself in bars, indulging in smoking, drinking, and gambling with reckless abandon.
One night, drunk out of his mind, he received a call from an unknown
number.
Alexander instinctively reached to decline, but accidentally hit answer.
He mumbled a “Hello?” but the other end stayed silent.
Just as he was about to hang up, something clicked–his alcohol–fogged brain suddenly cleared.
“Olivia?
Is that you?
You finally called me!”
“Where are you?

I’ll come to you!”

Alexander rambled on excitedly, but the other end remained silent–until the call was abruptly disconnected.
Shortly after, the unknown number sent a message:
[Grand Hotel Room 806. I’ll be waiting here for you.]
The long–lost joy surged in his heart. Alexander didn’t have time to think before rushing to the hotel.
The moment he entered, slender arms wrapped around his waist from behind: “Alexander… I’ve missed you so much.”
Every hair on Alexander’s body stood on end.
The voice belonged to Olivia.
Just as he turned, the room plunged into darkness.
Alexander’s desire ignited instantly. He clutched the figure tightly, voice trembling:
“Olivia, I’ve missed you too.”
“I’m sorry, I know I was wrong. I’ll make it up to you. Come back to me.”
“I’ve been going crazy without you.”
In the darkness, his kisses rained down like a storm, breaths growing
ragged and urgent.
Victoria’s eyes reddened. Her fingers clawed the bedframe until knuckles whitened, nails nearly piercing her palms.
She’d planned to call Alexander, to play the victim card for forgiveness.

But hearing him whisper “Olivia” froze her in place, silencing her pleas.
Within moments, Victoria decided to become Olivia for this night.
One night was enough. A pregnancy would erase these days of humiliation
The thought dissolved Victoria’s shame like mist.
She arched to meet Alexander’s movements, tangling with him till dawn.
Early next morning, she crept away carrying two trophies: the hidden camera from the nightstand…
and the used condom.
