Chapter 5 Do You Think It’s Fun Giving up on Yourself?

• In that instant, everyone else shifted their gazes to Victoria in a playful and judgmental manner. Meanwhile, Victoria appeared calm even though her palms were sweating. Just then, a man shouted, "Damn! Isn't this the Coleman Family's daughter, Victoria? Isn't she supposed to be in jail for murder? Is it really her?"
• As soon as the man finished his sentence, the entire lounge was filled with murmurs, which delighted Scarlett very much. She then nudged Victoria's arm and said, What are you waiting for? Say hello to everyone. You're not dumb, are you?"
• Meeting Scarlett's sarcastic gaze, Victoria bit her lips and replied, "Hi guys, I'm Victoria Coleman." On the other hand, Lucas tilted his head and shot a gaze at Victoria with a frown on his face.
• In the meantime, Christian was sitting in his office with his assistant, coldly staring at the colorful exterior lights of the club that were shining through the city from afar. At that moment, Robin was seen standing in front of the desk while looking at the person sitting behind it. "Charlotte asked if she should interfere with the matter at Delta Club." At the same time, Christian was sitting on his leather chair, his decent gray suit making him radiate a sinister aura.
• A few moments later, Christian asked, "Lucas is there too, isn't he?"
• "Yes, he is."
• Christian lit up a cigarette with his lighter, curling his lips upward. "Since Lucas is there, I suppose we shouldn't ruin their fun. Tell Charlotte to stay out of it." At the thought of Victoria's miserable state, Christian closed his eyes, finding it hard to believe that Victoria would become a different person in just two years.
• With the smoke rising from the cigarette between his finger joints to the air, he thought to himself, The night is still young.
• On the other hand, Victoria had already lost count of how many glasses of wine she had guzzled down, feeling as though her stomach was burning at that moment. However, she wouldn't beg them to stop because she knew no one would show her mercy.
• At the same time, Scarlett straightened her body and gloated while watching Victoria struggle with the alcohol, smiling and laughing in amusement. When Scarlett gave Victoria another glass of wine, Lucas eventually decided to step in and snatched the glass of wine with a frown before he swallowed it in one shot.
• "What are you doing, Luke? This is for Victoria." Scarlett's face darkened.
• Nevertheless, Lucas glared at Scarlett without saying a word and approached Victoria, dragging her out of the lounge from the couch. "Come with me."
• Before realizing what was going on, Victoria couldn't react in time as she only felt an overwhelming pain in her wrist. "W-Wait, Lucas… Where are you taking me?"
• No matter how Victoria tried to call out to Lucas, the man ignored her and continued to drag the woman outside the lounge, only letting go of her wrist when they arrived downstairs. Since Victoria had a bad leg due to the injury she sustained earlier, she lost her balance and collapsed onto the ground the moment Lucas let go of her. "Do you think it's fun to give up on yourself?" Victoria was stunned when she heard what Lucas said.
