Victoria was surprised to see that it was Lauren.
Although she had broken up with Jordan and there was some unhappiness between them now, her relationship with Lauren had been very close in the past.
So Victoria walked out and answered Lauren's call.
"Hello."
"Victoria."
"Lauren, it's so late. Why are you calling me?"
Lauren said, "Did I disturb your sleep? I called you mainly to ask if Uncle Randall is angry at Jordan for killing his subordinate, Chester, today."
Lauren was still very worried that Jordan and Randall would be estranged because of this. After all, this uncle-nephew duo represented the two strongest factions in the world. If they turned against each other, it would not be a small matter.
Victoria didn't answer this question directly. Instead, she asked, "Where are you now? Where are Jordan and Lota?"
Lauren answered, "I'm at the house we lived in previously. Jordan and Lota are in the other room."
Victoria thought about how an outsider had made her way into the house they used to live in together. And now, she was occupying her room and sleeping with the man she used to sleep with. She couldn't help feeling angry!
"Today is Jordan and Lota's wedding night. Lauren, how can you be so magnanimous as to accept Jordan sleeping with another woman? Since I have already left, you should be Jordan's only woman! He shouldn't marry another woman!"
In response, Lauren only said, "Jordan told me about his relationship with Lota. Actually, Jordan doesn't like her as much as you and I. It's just that Lota sacrificed herself to save Jordan's life. Besides, Lota doesn't like other men at all. Jordan probably married Lota because he was grateful and pitied her. Besides, Lota is innocent and a member of a secret family. It's fine for her to stay by Jordan's side."
Victoria snorted. "No wonder Jordan loves you so much. You're really understanding. I can't be like you. I can't accept a little brat like Lota, and because of this, I was mercilessly abandoned by Jordan. You knew when Jordan asked Helen to perform the procedure on me, right?"
Lauren was silent. She was indeed outside the door and overheard this. However, because she had to travel back in time with Jordan, she did not have the time to tell Victoria.
Nevertheless, Lauren didn't try to explain herself. She said, "I'm sorry, Victoria. Actually, I don't know why Jordan wants to give up on you. What I do know is that he loves you very much. He has always loved you more than me."
"Enough! I don't want to hear about this anymore!" Victoria quickly retorted.
Victoria changed the topic. "Jordan's uncle doesn't blame him. He has always doted on his nephew. How can he blame him because of this? But Randall is so good to
Jordan. He even gave him a precious gift and personally went to the wedding to congratulate him. Why did Jordan repay kindness with ingratitude? Why did he insist on killing Randall's subordinate and upset Randall? Do you know how sad our entire tribe was after Black Mamba died? Especially Randall."
Lauren said, "Victoria, do you know that Chester killed many women in the capital? He raped them first before murdering them."
Victoria replied, "So what? Are the women he killed related to Jordan? Are they Jordan's relatives or subordinates? They are not linked to Jordan at all. I believe Chester wouldn't take the initiative to provoke Jordan. Why should Jordan poke his nose into other people's business?"
Lauren said, "Victoria, do you still remember when you were controlled by Shaun's wife in the capital? She controlled your body and slept with another man. She even killed someone. What's the difference between her and Chester? They both killed innocent people.
