After enrolling in Glea College, Ariana devoted all her energy to Brian and completely neglected her studies.
She didn’t even know how skilled she was in her major. All she remembered was that Evelyn was exceptional,
which was why Brian liked her. But mimicking Evelyn had left her feeling like she was nothing at all.
Victor didn’t miss the look of self-mockery in Ariana’s eyes
He said calmly, “Your handwriting has improved by a lot now. Stay in touch regularly, and that should suffice.
You'll stay here tonight. You don’t need to go back.”
“Wait!” Ariana suddenly asked, “What do you mean by that? Are you saying | should spend the night here?”
She looked at Victor in disbelief.
“Is there a problem?” Victor's tone was indifferent. Glancing at his watch, he added, “Ms. Torrey, you should

“I can head back on my own,” Ariana retorted.
“No one is allowed to call a cab from my place.”
Ariana frowned. “What kind of rule is that?”
Victor replied coldly, “You know I've taken many lives overseas. | have plenty of enemies, and if they find out
where | live, I'll be in trouble. So, please don’t make things harder for me.”
As he said this, Ariana thought she caught a murderous glint in his eyes.
She instantly fell silent.
His villa was in a remote area; rarely did anyone pass it by. It wouldn't take him long if he really wanted to get rid
of her.
“L... | could walk out on my own and then call for a cab,” she whispered nervously.
Victor raised an eyebrow. “If you're brave enough to walk alone for a mile in the dead of night, feel free to do
50.”
As he said this, his eyes intentionally lingered on Ariana’s injured leg, making it clear he doubted her ability to do
50.
Ariana sighed. “Where should | sleep?”
“Turn left when you step outside and claim a room for yourself. There aren't many empty rooms-just pick one.”
With that, Victor lit a cigar and seemed entirely uninterested in continuing the conversation.
Ariana, who didn’t like the smell of smoke, quickly grabbed a crutch and made her way out of the study.
Perhaps realizing her aversion, Victor extinguished the cigar after just one puff.
Out in the hallway, Ariana turned left and randomly chose the first room. The room was bare and spacious, with
little furniture or decor-a surprisingly simple setup for a two-story villa.
She felt a little puzzled.
Why was the interior so plain for such a massive house?

By then, Victor had stepped out of the study and noticed Ariana standing in the doorway of the first room on the

“Did you pick that room?” he asked.
“This will do. It’s fine,” Ariana replied as she sat on the navy-colored bedding, too tired to move further.
The other two rooms had their doors shut, likely occupied by Hunter and Simon, leaving her no other options but
to pick a room at the back. Her injured leg made this room the most convenient choice.
“It’s yours now,” Victor said simply before turning back toward the study.
Hers?
Ariana frowned in confusion. Victor had a habit of saying things she couldn’t quite understand.
