As Victoria stepped outside, she noticed the stray cats gathering around Sean, happily munching on their food.
“Nice to see you again!”
Sean was pleasantly surprised to see Victoria again. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes as he smiled and greeted her.
Victoria nodded politely, then bit her lip slightly. “Have you learned anything about the incident?”
“There are no surveillance cameras here, so we couldn’t determine who abused Ginger. But I won’t give up on the investigation. I will find out who did this!” Sean replied, his brows furrowing in frustration.
f “I believe in you.”
Sean felt his heart skip a beat as he gazed at Victoria. Realizing this, he quickly cleared his throat and averted his eyes, unable to look at her any longer.
“This is for you.” As he tossed something her way, Victoria instinctively reached out to catch it. It was a small cat plushie that resembled the deceased Ginger.
She smiled brightly at him and said, “Thank you!”
Sean felt his ears heat up even more. “I… I need to go back for a training match now. I’ll see you next time!

With that, he covered his flushed ears and hurried away.
Once Sean was gone, Victoria poured cat food into a bowl, watching as the stray cats finished their meal before she left.
Noticing the plushie in her hand, Lionel frowned slightly. “Ms. Olson, what’s this?” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Victoria replied cheerfully, “It’s a gift I received.”
Seeing her bright smile and obvious delight, Lionel’s expression dimmed, and he fell silent.
“Victoria!”
Upon hearing Alice’s voice, Victoria turned around and frowned at the sight of her slightly swollen face.
“What happened to your face, Alice? Did someone bully you?”
At the mention of her face, Alice’s expression turned venomous. If it weren’t for that wretched Yvette, she wouldn’t have been beaten by her mother like this.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Alice forced a smile and quickly added, “Victoria, you’re still as kind and considerate as ever-”
Before she could finish her flattering words, a commanding voice interrupted her, saying, “Come here.” Yvette lazily stood a short distance away, her expression unreadable but somehow commanding respect. Upon seeing Yvette, Victoria’s face lit up, and she hurried over. “Yvette, did you need something from me?” Yvette handed her a small porcelain bottle. “This is your medicine. Take it three times a day; it will improve your health.”
Having reviewed her medical records, Yvette knew that the Five Soul Pills would be beneficial for Victoria.
Victoria’s eyes lit up with surprise, and she smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Yvette!”
“No need to mention it; it’s just a small gesture,” Yvette replied casually. “By the way, try to avoid hanging out with stupid people. Their low intelligence can be contagious.”
Alice heard every word and trembled with rage. That wretched Yvette dared to call her stupid?
