Chapter 1757: A Greater Secret

Chapter 1757: A Greater Secret

Reese's movement was too sudden, too swift. By the time Felix

realized it, it was already too late. He let out a cry of alarm as he

watched the dart fly towards Vicki's head.

Although it was just a warning, it would still cause significant harm if it

hit. His instinct prompted him to push Vicki away.

At the critical moment...

Vicki suddenly turned around, using one arm to hold back Felix, who

was trying to push her away.

And then, no one saw how she did it.

In the instant she turned around, Vicki used her thin lips to tightly clamp

down on the dart, swung her head, and her flowing hair followed suit.

The dart was flung to the side, narrowly missing Fox's nose.

Finally, with a "whoosh," the dart embedded itself firmly into a nearby

wooden beam, securely lodged there.

The entire process was smooth and flawless, impeccable.

Fox was thoroughly frightened. She let out a loud "bang" and collapsed

to the ground, terrified and trembling. Oh god, the dart had just grazed

her face, almost ruining the expensive face she worked so hard to

maintain every day.

It was too terrifying.

She looked at Vicki as if she were a monster. This woman was too

terrifying. Was Vicki even human?

Fox started to cry, tears and mucus streaming down her face. She

pretended to be pitiful and defenseless, relying on her support.

"Sir, they... they bullied me. You must stand up for me, wuwu."

Fox sobbed, wiping away her tears and mucus, pretending to be pitiful.

Under normal circumstances, Reese would have comforted her a little.

But today, Reese's mind was completely elsewhere.

The Saunders family had an unwritten rule: the strong ruled.

He reprimanded her, "Shut up! You're scared by such a small matter,

you're useless and still have the nerve to cry."

Fox was taken aback and quickly stopped crying. She didn't dare to say

a word. She couldn't understand what had happened to Reese today.

He seemed like a completely different person. She didn't dare to

provoke Reese and could only endure silently.

Reese deeply assessed Vicki with a perplexed gaze, his dark eyes

revealing a mysterious darkness.

Leaning on his cane, he walked step by step closer.

Until he stood in front of Felix and Vicki.

Felix frowned and instinctively stood in front of Vicki, although he was

also amazed by Vicki's skills. He rarely had the chance to witness

Vicki's prowess, and he never expected her reactions to be so

astoundingly perfect.

He stared at Reese warily. "She is already my wife. Old man, besides

the blood flowing through her veins, she has no connection to the

Saunders family. Don't hassle her."

Reese furrowed his brow and scolded Felix, “Unfilial son."

He scrutinized Vicki up close.

A rare beauty, tall and slender, possessing the determination and

courage of a man, yet not lacking the charm of a woman. The

combination of wildness and allure complemented each other, which

was why Felix was completely infatuated by her.

“Is she really your wife? You didn't bring her here to deceive us, did

you?" Reese sneered.

Felix took out the marriage certificate again and waved it in front of

Reese. "It's a done deal. She is already my wife. Old man, stop

meddling in my affairs. In this world, besides my mother, no one can

interfere with me."

"You scoundrel." Reese raised his hand, as if to hit Felix.

Felix sneered, not bothering to dodge. In his eyes, his mother had been

indirectly forced to her death by them. Besides his mother, he wanted

to distance himself from everyone else.

Reese didn't really intend to hit Felix.

He glanced at Vicki and caught sight of her name on the marriage

certificate.

He nodded slowly. "You ungrateful brat, not coming home for so many

years. Now you actually have a point. You haven't done anything

worthwhile until now, but you've finally done something satisfying."

Felix was taken aback, not understanding the situation.

Reese tapped his cane on the ground. "Vicki, I've heard this name

before. Now the student surpasses the master.”

After speaking, Reese glared at Felix. "If you can tame her, it shows

that you have some ability, and your taste isn't bad.”

Felix, ".."

Why was the situation developing differently from what he had

imagined?

Did the old man's words mean that he approved of Vicki?

Felix turned his head to glance at Vicki, as if seeking her opinion.

Vicki just smiled nonchalantly, lightly rubbing her fingers. If her arm

hadn't been injured, her movements would have been unaffected. She

couldswiftly return the dart to Reese. She believed that Reese

understood that she had held back.

At this moment, Fox suddenly climbed up from the ground.

She almost thought she had misheard. Did the old man just approve of

Vicki becoming the daughter-in-law?

No, that couldn't happen. She would never allow it.

If Vicki moved into the Saunders family, she wouldn't have a say

anymore. Not to mention speaking, she would constantly be in danger

at home. She wouldn't be able to sleep or eat in peace.

She rushed over to Reese, hugging his arm. "Sir, this woman has an

unknown background. She has no family background. How can she

marry into the Saunders family? Sir, if you want a daughter-in-law, I

have already found several well-born women for you. They all come

from wealthy families.”

Reese glared at Fox. "The Saunders family doesn't lack money, it

doesn't matter. But in these years, there hasn't been a woman who can

take the overall situation into account.”

He sighed. In the past, perhaps only his mother, Felix's grandmother,

and now Vicki could command such an imposing presence.

Take the overall situation into account?! Fox's face turned pale. What

did that mean?

Vicki smiled at Fox, approaching her. Fox quickly hid behind Reese.

Vicki spoke disdainfully, "You better tidy up the Saunders family's

accounts from the past few years and quickly fill in the gaps. Don't wait

until I take over and trouble you."

She flashed a beautiful smile, glanced meaningfully at Fox, and then

hooked her arm with Felix's.

"Let's go, back to our room."

Felix quickly responded, "Okay."

"Have someone bring all my things here. From today onwards, I will live

here. Sir, goodbye for now." Vicki waved her hand lightly, bidding

farewell to Reese.

Then, she and Felix walked hand in hand upstairs.

Only Fox remained, standing frozen in place with a lifeless expression.

Oh god, if Vicki really took over the Saunders family.

Her past secrets... would they no longer be hidden? Besides

embezzling money, she had an even greater secret, one related to

Seren from the past!
