Vicky never anticipated being involved in such a dramatic situation.
Orion stared at Vicky and said coldly, “You sure are cunning, Ms. Shaw. You promised to break up with Tyler, only to
go running back to him without us knowing? Did you regret letting him go after finding out about his true
background?”
Vicky looked at Orion.
She did not remember anything about Orion, but according to the words he said, she concluded that she had met
with Orion and Valencia before.
“Have we met, Mister Hart?” she asked.

“She said she lost her memories,” Valencia said.
“She lost her memories?” Orion mocked. “She probably faked it because she wanted to go back on her promise,
right?”
“Mister Hart, have I promised to…break up with Tyler?” Vicky asked.
“Not only had you promised to do so, but you asked for 150 million dollars in return, too.”
Vicky froze at his words. She did recall receiving the money and wondered if she had truly betrayed Tyler for
money.
When Vicky fell into silence, Orion and Valencia exchanged knowing looks.
Before Vicky had the chance to say anything, Valencia said, “I heard that your parents passed away when you were

skipped that step, so you might as well make up for it now.”
She shot a side-long glance at Vicky and continued, “Get down on your knees and greet us properly.”
Vicky knew that big, wealthy families tended to have a lot of rules, and she had witnessed others of equal status
doing the same at their weddings when she was single.
She knew that it was considered normal in elite society, but not only had Orion and Valencia attacked her, but they
also insulted her late parents. She had no intention of caving.
“Sorry, but I don’t want to,” Vicky said calmly.

Orion slammed the table, causing the glasses on the table to fall.
“How insolent!” Orion never liked Vicky to begin with and was furious that Vicky dared to disobey him. “How dare a
junior like you defy your senior? Slap her face!”
A young maid immediately darted toward Vicky and slapped her hard on the face twice.
The maid was likely used to hard labor, and her strike was extremely powerful. Vicky’s cheeks were instantly
swollen, and she started to see stars under the impact.
“Get her down on her knees!” Valencia ordered.
Vicky had yet to recover from the slap when someone kicked her on the knees
