“Yeah, I’ve heard a thing or two about it,” Victoria looked at the undergraduate and asked, “Did you
come here because of the Firewolf Chamber?”
In terms of age, Victoria was actually not much older than Casper.
Casper nodded and said, “I heard the Firewolf Chamber plans to make a trip to Pine Street with the
local gang.”
“Pine Street? Why?” Victoria asked while raising her brows.
“We’re not exactly sure why, but the Firewolf Chamber has never had an interest in antiques, and we
think something is amiss here,” he analyzed.
“Since Victoria’s Chamber is one of larger antique shops on Pine Street, I’m pretty sure the Firewolf will
make you their target,” he added, “They’re in the underground business and known for being ruthless,
so please be careful.”
“Call me if you need help,” Casper said.
Did he come all the way here to warn me about them? A corner of Victoria’s mouth quirked up upon
hearing that.
“I’m impressed that you have all this insider information, but you’re only an undergraduate, right? How
can you help me?” Victoria stretched her body in front of him, revealing her hourglass body shape.
It was clear that she was trying to seduce him.
Casper did not know how to react to that at first. What a vixen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCasper instantly overcame the sexual temptation and pulled himself together.
Of course, he managed to resist Victoria’s temptation because of Giselle.
Victoria was impressed with how steady Casper was. At one point, she even thought she might have
lost her charm.
If all the men in Horington found out about how Casper gave her the cold shoulder, they would have
bashed him up.
They would have taught him a lesson for disrespecting Victoria and causing their goddess to doubt her
appeal.
Victoria chuckled upon seeing how Casper kept a distance from her.
She looked at the man and whispered to herself. “One day, you’ll be mine.”
Casper did not hear what she uttered. Even if he did, he would have acted as if he had not heard it.
“Don’t worry. You’ve helped me a lot in the past. I’m sure I can be of help to you,” he said.
After conveying his thoughts to Victoria, Casper decided to leave the shop.
Before he left, Victoria suddenly asked, “Hey, what’s your connection with the Firewolf Chamber?
Where did you get that insider news from?”
Victoria wanted to know his relationship with the Firewolf Chamber of Commerce because if the latter
wanted to take down the entire Pine Street, It would be impossible for Victoria’s Chamber to survive.
Before things spiraled out of control, she thought she could at least do her part to defuse their tension.
Yet, Casper seemed to have misunderstood her.
“Yes, there are some misunderstandings between us. And this is why I pay close attention to their
actions.”
“I think I’ve made my point clear. Take good care of yourself. Call me if you need my help. See you,”
Casper then turned around and walked out of Victoria’s Chamber.
Victoria froze right there as she did not expect him to walk out of her shop just like that.
Did he just run away like I’m a ghost or a monster?
She gritted her teeth and squinted. “You’re going to be sorry for how you treat me, Casper. I’ll make
you pay!”
It sounded like a threat, but Victoria’s coquettish voice made her sound as if she was whining.
The butler of Victoria’s Chamber started noticing some changes in Victoria’s behavior.
The butler, who was also her trusted man, began to worry.
Victoria seemed to have high regard for Casper after the porcelain vase incident.
But after investigating Casper’s background, the butler found out that he was just an ordinary man.
Other than being an undergraduate, there was nothing significant about him at all.
But if he’s just an ordinary undergraduate, how would he be involved in all these matters?
Though the butler investigated him by pulling some strings through the connection of Victoria’s
Chamber, he still could not find anything about that young man.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEither he enjoys the attention of being treated as a hero, or he was a powerful man who had ways to
conceal his identity.
But the butler had his doubts about the young man.
Unlike Victoria, who believed Casper came from an influential family, the butler did not think so.
Which powerful family would leave their son penniless and watch him become a waste picker? This
man survived on leftovers and couldn’t even afford to pay for his tuition fees in the university!
The butler could not quite believe it.
Yet, Victoria refused to listen to his explanation. She believed that Casper was only doing this to
understand the pain and suffering of the world.
To make things worse, Casper seemed to have sparked Victoria’s interest, and she just wanted to bring
him to his knees.
Butler did not wish to see that happen.
He decided to step in to put an end to Victoria’s obsession with Casper.
Had those people noticed the changes in her behavior, they would for sure punish me. And they’ll not
hesitate to teach her a lesson too.
Ms. Stalling is no match for them! It would be disastrous if they found out that she’s hiding in Horington!
The butler put on a steady look and was determined to protect her at all costs.
Meanwhile, Casper noticed someone was tailing him while he was making his way back to the
university.
Who is that? What does he want?
