If the person behind the curtain had been just sordinary woman or a man, Andrew would have shattered

that veil and gone straight into a full-blown fight.

Yet, this was different. This was Reginald's former lover, the matriarch of the Peck family.

Andrew was not sill-mannered person, and he could not just pounce on her. That would mean he really

needed to see a doctor about having skind of complex.

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed. With both of them being top-tier fighters, their clashing energies created a surge

of force that blasted through the room. The silk curtains between them could no longer withstand the pressure

and were ripped to shreds.

Victoria shouted urgently, "You little bastard, turn around. I'm not dressed!"

Andrew sneered. "After all that? Mrs. Peck, do you really think I'm going to fall for that?"

Without even glancing at the bed, he thrust his palm forward and kicked off the edge of the bed, dragging the

chair he sat on backward across the floor in one smooth motion.

Both of them pulled back at the stime, and the turbulent energy in the room slowly settled.

On the bed, Victoria now sat fully clothed in a sleek black gown, her hair swept up into a high bun. She looked

poised and regal.

Like Tiana's, her looks carried a sharp, cold beauty-flawless and composed. However, unlike Tiana's flirtatious

charm, Victoria had a piercing edge in her eyes that made her seem more dangerous.

Even when she said nothing, her presence exuded authority. She looked at Andrew with a half-smile. "You

reacted fast. It's a pity you didn't fall for it. If you'd been dumb enough to actually turn around, completely off

guard... then you'd be on the floor right now, coughing up blood and barely breathing."

Andrew stared at her coldly. "So this was your way of settling the score for the Peck family?"

Victoria rose slowly. Though not particularly tall, she moved with a subtle allure. With every step, the slit in her

dress revealed glimpses of her pale skin.

"If anyone was going to avenge the Peck family, it should've been my useless husband. You can relax. | don't

care about your feud with them. | won't be getting involved."

Andrew frowned. "If that's the case, then why attackjust now?"

Victoria gave a casual shrug. "No reason. Just wanted to see what you were made of. Also, | don't like how close

you are with Tiana. Giving you a little scare might make that bitch ache with worry, and the thought of her

hurting makesfeel good."

Andrew rubbed his temples. So this was all about jealousy, again. And naturally,

he was the one they all took it out on.

"Ccloser. Letget a better look at you," Victoria ordered.

Andrew snorted but stepped forward anyway.

She studied him for a long moment before murmuring, "Wow... You really do look like him."

Andrew raised a brow. "Mrs. Peck, what did you say?"

Victoria shook her head. "Nothing. Let's get to business. Your talent and what you've already accomplished have

impressed the Peck family. From now on, | want you to be our representative. Our voice, so to speak."

Andrew shut it down immediately. "That's not happening."

With that, he turned and walked away.

Victoria let out a furious laugh, her hand twitching like she was about to strike.

However, she forced herself to stop
