Victoria remained completely unmoved by his outburst. “Since you know that Andrew is his son, who gave you the courage to shout at him like that?”

Her words carried a hint of subtle mockery.

Calvin’s face turned bright red as he suddenly straightened his back defiantly. “I can’t match that bastard Reginald, and I wouldn’t dare cross him! But his son, Andrew? I don’t take him seriously at all! If I wanted to, do you really think I couldn’t destroy that little bastard Andrew?”

For the first time, Victoria’s calm expression changed. She began laughing hysterically, doubled over as if she had just heard the funniest joke in the entire world.

“Calvin, oh Calvin, you’re nothing but a cowardly bully who’s all bark and no bite. You think you could actually kill Andrew? Like father, like son. Do you really think Andrew is someone you can mess with? Haven’t you learned enough from the lesson he gave you last time?”

She continued, “And do you even know his true identity? Let me enlighten you. Just like Reginald once was, Andrew is the Dragon Heir of the Lloyd royal bloodline with the Blood–Eyed Black Dragon seal marked on his body! Even if he were lying unconscious in front of you, you wouldn’t dare raise your blade. Don’t even kid yourself.”

By the end, Victoria’s voice had grown sharp, fierce, and contemptuous. Calvin trembled where he sat, gripping the arms of his chair.

It was not just anger. He was choking on the bitterness, so much that he looked ready to explode. He shouted, “So what? You shameless slut! You’ve fallen for a boy young enough to be your son? Is that it?”

He sprang to his feet and pointed a shaking finger at Victoria, his voice cracked from rage.

Victoria shot him a cold, mocking smile. “Calvin, I saw right through you the moment you married into the family. You were a worthless man then, and you’re still a worthless man now. I gave birth to your children and helped you build the Peck family from scratch. In the end, I even got you ranked among the Five Apex Families!”

She continued, “After everything I handed you, you’ve still made no real progress. Do you seriously think I’m like you, someone who couldn’t control my desires and emotions?”

Calvin scowled. “What are you trying to say? Are you trying to tell me that you and Andrew didn’t cross the line?”

A slight flush crossed Victoria’s cheeks, but she only sneered. “Idiot. Yes, I still have some feelings for Reginald. And yes, I feel an indescribable closeness toward Andrew. But do you really think I’d let that sway me? You’re right. I admire Andrew so much that I’ve thought about giving him everything, even my body.

“Because the charm he carries… it makes me willing. But there’s one thing I’ve never forgotten: Reginald is Reginald. Andrew is Andrew. They may be father and son, but they’re not the same. Reginald took what he wanted without hesitation. On the other hand, Andrew is a man of integrity—he has boundaries.

“And because he treats me with respect, I let him call me by my first name. How could I ever bring myself to ruin his honor and reputation?”

Calvin let out a sharp snort. “Fine. Let’s say you haven’t done anything with him physically. But your feelings? They’re already twisted. Maybe he sees you as family, but can you honestly say you see him as just a junior?”

Victoria gave him a frosty smile. “Does it matter? These social rules and labels… Do you think they mean anything to me? Back then, I killed my own mentor, burned my own sect to the ground, and betrayed my family… all to choose you, a useless man.

“And after all that, I built the Peck family into what it is today by my own hand. Calvin, I may be a woman, but if we’re talking about the true giants of this generation, how many do you think I actually respect?”

Calvin’s mouth went dry, and his face paled. He had no words.

In front of Victoria, he had always been the one who trembled. Everything she had accomplished in her past were things he could only dream of.

He muttered, “Fine. I believe you didn’t sleep with Andrew. But what about me? What am I to you? I’m your husband! I’m your man!”

Realizing his own uselessness only made Calvin angrier. Fueled by alcohol and wounded pride, he snapped.

He lunged at Victoria, grabbed her by the shoulders, and stared at her like a madman.

Victoria let out a soft laugh.

She did not resist, nor did she move. She simply stood there, perfectly still.
