  Samantha frowned slightly.

  Harmony followed Samantha’s line of sight and noticed someone’s presence there too. She glanced at the person’s face and saw that it was Victoria.

  A random staff member might want to avoid being dragged into the mess, or perhaps they did not want to invoke Samantha’s ire by testifying against her and siding with Harmony.

  Victoria, however, was different.

  Although Victoria was a serious and unaccommodating person who was difficult to get along with, she was also famous for her vengefulness and moral conscience. She could not possibly ignore everything after seeing with her own eyes how Samantha beat Harmony up!

  ‘You’re just waiting to be jailed, Samantha!’


  Harmony seemed to cling to her last ray of hope as tears streamed down her face. She looked at Victoria with great anticipation and pleaded, “Ms. Goldman……you… You just saw Samantha beating me up right? My entire body is hurting so much right now. Could you send me to the hospital and help me to call the police!”


  Victoria would become a witness if she called the police, and the process of putting the blame on Samantha would be much easier.

  There was no way Samantha could escape!

  Victoria looked at Harmony first and glanced up and down to get a good view of Harmony’s tragic situation.

  She subsequently shifted her attention to Samantha.

  Samantha felt a little startled when she first saw Victoria’s presence, but that feeling had since been replaced with calmness as she stood there and made eye contact with Victoria.

  Victoria was intrigued and curled her lips to ask, “Aren’t you scared?”


  Samantha had never expected that to be Victoria’s first question.

  To answer that question, Samantha did feel a little flustered when she saw Victoria for the first time.

  Nevertheless, it did not take long for her to calm down again.

  She did not regret giving Harmony a violent beating that day and even enjoyed it considerably.

  Although she knew that violence was not the answer, the best way of dealing with that kind of a villain was to use the simplest, crudest and most direct method—which was violence.

  Samantha smiled slightly. “I don’t regret it at all.”


  Given another chance, she would definitely beat Harmony up even more ruthlessly!

  Victoria stared at her for a few seconds before saying, “What happened earlier… I didn’t see a thing.”


  Samantha was stunned to hear that remark.

  Harmony exploded all of a sudden and stared at Victoria in disbelief. “Ms. Goldman, what are you talking about? You clearly saw it!”


  Victoria turned to her. “Which one of us do you think knows better when it comes to the question of whether I saw it or not? I meant what I said, and I said I didn’t see a thing.”


  Harmony’s face changed drastically and she could not help but yell angrily. “You’re a highly respected person, Ms. Goldman. How can you live up to your reputation if you associate yourself with someone like Samantha?”


  Samantha was elated when she heard that.

  Harmony could change her tune faster than a chameleon changes colors and would make insinuations at those who did not help her. She really felt that everyone should go along with her and help her, acting as if the entire world revolved around her!

  Victoria smiled disdainfully and ignored Harmony’s remarks. She turned to Samantha and said, “Do you have time to spare, Ms. Larsson? Let’s have a cup of tea together.”


  Having tea with Victoria was a privilege few were able to get.

  Amazingly, Victoria decided not to testify for Harmony and even invited Samantha to have tea with her under such circumstances.

  After the initial shock, Samantha could not help but nod with a smile. “I’d be happy to. It’s truly an honor.”


  “Let’s go to my office.” Victoria did not look at Harmony again and turned back to head into Lychee TV.

  Samantha could not be bothered to look at Harmony either. She adjusted her clothes a little and started walking after Victoria.

  Harmony watched helplessly as the two people disappeared before her very eyes. She was so angry that her eyes were red and her body was trembling.

  She used to be the anchor that Victoria had the highest hopes for. She was supposed to be the first to be invited for tea! In the end, Samantha had snatched that away from her!

  ‘Why!’


  ‘Why must Samantha always take everything away from me!’


  ‘B*tch!’


  ‘That damn b*tch!’


  …


  Victoria’s office was on the highest floor in Lychee TV. She was the company’s highest-ranking anchor and was second only to the general manager.

  Therefore, she and the general manager each occupied half the space at the top floor.

  She had a separate elevator too, naturally.

  Victoria led Samantha to her elevator and went straight to her office space.

  There were only one or two people scattered in the huge office space and none of them were at their seats. It came as something of a surprise for Samantha.

  She was curious why there was no one there during working hours.

  As they entered the office, Victoria said, “Sit wherever you like.”


  Samantha nodded, walked to the sofa, and sat down.

  She glanced across the office and marveled at the magnificently grand furnishings. A large bookcase was situated on one wall and contained books of various genres. There were signs that the books had been read too.

  Her favorite anchor did not disappoint.

  Samantha still had a bit of a fangirl mentality toward Victoria and felt a little nervous about facing her idol after having finally calmed down.

  She gulped softly to stop herself from showing her nervousness.

  Victoria came back with the equipment to prepare tea and sat down opposite Samantha. She then skillfully prepared the tea by boiling the water, brewing the tea, and poured it into the cups.

  The aroma began to fill the air.

  Victoria poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Samantha. “Try it.”


  “Thank you.” Samantha held the cup with both hands and blew on it before taking a sip. A delicious fragrance immediately filled her mouth and left a pleasant aftertaste.

  “It smells amazing and tastes just as delicious too,” she lavished a generous amount of praise.

  Victoria picked up her teacup and sipped her tea. “I’m glad you like it.”


  Samantha took another sip before raising her eyes to look at the woman. She then asked bluntly, “Why…did you help me earlier, Ms. Goldman?”


  Based on Victoria’s character, upholding justice ought to have been the likeliest scenario.

  Victoria did not seem at all surprised that she would ask that question. She answered indifferently, “I wasn’t helping you. I just…turned a blind eye.”


  People in the communications industry had to have principles and a moral baseline.

  Harmony secretly resorted to various despicable methods to mislead the public opinio all for her own selfish interests. She got innocent people into trouble and even showed no hesitation in committing illegal acts.

  People like that were utterly contemptible.

  At the end of the day, she was nothing more than a sewer rat hiding behind those she had manipulated. Since she was getting others to do her dirty work, she would never receive any punishment and would be untouchable in the eyes of the law. Why then, should Samantha not be allowed to hand down punishment?

  “All of you might think that I’m a stern and resolute person, but I was actually more ruthless than you are right now, thirty years ago.” Victoria revealed her own secrets and was upfront with Samantha without a second thought.

  Those words came as a complete shock to Samantha.

  She had never imagined that Victoria used to be a hot-blooded young woman……

  The person she admired really was an amazing individual!

  Victoria topped up Samantha’s cup with more tea and looked at Samantha with a scrutinizing gaze. “There is one other thing you wanted to do when you decided to come to Lychee TV today, right? Besides dealing with Harmony, of course.”


  Those words sounded more like an affirmation rather than a question!
