“Ms. Torrey, please enjoy.” Victor gestured at the dishes before them.
Staring at the T-bone steak with blood seeping out of the meat, Arlana lost her appetite.
“Mr. Smith, I'm not hungry.” Technically, she would never eat dinner. Apart from the few times she had to attend
social events, she usually did not take dinner.
Victor sat from across her and placed his slender fingers on the table. He gently swirled the contents in the wine
glass, saying, “Do you know what happened to the last guy who tried to read my mind?”
She remained silent.

“Well, I'm beyond grateful to you.” Ariana couldn’t even force a smile. She had tried to get Victor to work with
Evelyn, but he pulled her into this mess instead.
She wondered what Victor saw in her. Although Evelyn was the only daughter of the Granger family, Evelyn was

Had it not been for the fractured relationship between the Grangers and Lodges, Belinda might even approve of
Evelyn as her future daughter-in-law.

“You should have known not to mess within the first place.”
Ariana was aware of Victor's notoriety. He was from the underworld-a heartless, unreasonable man who did not
go by the rules.
Dealing with a man like Victor cwith high risks. But Ariana didn’t have another choice back when she had
signed the contract.
She couldn't risk having Evelyn benefit from the deal with Victor. That would mean going through the same

“Mr. Smith, you're kidding me, How would | be scared of a friendly man like you....” While speaking, she silently
rolled her eyes at her own behavior.
She thought, “Ariana Torrey, the first thing you mastered after your rebirth is to suck up to people. You've really
sacrificed a lot to survive until the end, even resorting to making up nonsense.”
Looking calm, Victor replied, “I'm glad to hear that since we'll be meeting often after this. You might die from a
heart condition if you're scared out of your wits every tyou see me.

“Of course.”
The steak was taken away. Ariana realized this was a deliberate move by Victor.
Did he order a raw steak just to mess with her?
