Queen Of Revenge And Glory – “Victoria, we need to break up. It turns out I’m actually the heir to the Fairbank family, one of the most powerful families in Benwig City. You’re just a country girl who sells herbs. You’re not good enough for me anymore.” Victoria Binder had just received a call from her boyfriend, Gavin Alvarado—no, Gavin Fairbank now. She had been about to tell him that she was the long-lost daughter of a wealthy family herself, but before she could say a word, she heard him claim she wasn’t good enough for him. She let out a silent, cold laugh. The medicinal herbs she grew were incredibly valuable. Countless rich and influential families were trying to buy them at high prices. Her products had even appeared several times at the largest auction house in Benwig City. Gavin’s arrogant voice came through the phone again. “With my status now, I need to marry a proper heiress from a family that matches mine. “But since we dated for two months, I won’t treat you badly. Before I marry someone suitable, you can stay with me.
Even after I get married, I can still keep you as my—” Before he could finish, Victoria snapped, “Asshole. If you want to break up, then we’re done.” She hung up immediately. The handsome man standing in front of her, Jackson Thornton, raised an eyebrow. He had been waiting for her response. He smiled. “So? You just found out you’re the heiress of the Binder family, one of the richest families in Benwig City, and you still got dumped?” Victoria looked up at him and smiled brightly. “Funny coincidence. He just told me that he’s the heir to a wealthy family in Benwig City and that I’m not good enough for him.” Then her expression shifted, turning doubtful. “Wait a second. This whole thing about being the real daughter or real son of some rich family… Isn’t that some new kind of scam going around?” Jackson paused for a moment, then smiled. “Of course not. You really are the true daughter of the Binder family.” Victoria gave a nonchalant hum. She took the basket off her back, sat down on a chair, and began sorting the herbs she had just picked. “Then who are you?” she asked. “Why are you the one coming to find me instead of my biological parents?” Jackson glanced at the shabby house in front of him, then looked at Victoria, who sat casually on a small stool.
He said, “If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll soon be your fiancé. I’m Jackson, the eldest son of the Thornton family in Benwig City.” Victoria almost slipped off her stool. She stared at him in shock. “What? Fiancé?” “That’s right. But as you can see, I’m disabled now. I lost the use of my legs last month.” Sitting in his wheelchair, Jackson lifted a hand and pointed at his legs, giving a helpless smile. “I see. And what does that have to do with you coming to find me today?” Victoria asked. Then she suddenly understood. “Wait. Are you saying that I’m the real daughter of the wealthy Binder family, and that they’re planning to bring me back and have me marry you?” Jackson nodded, a hint of admiration in his eyes. “Exactly.” Victoria’s gaze flickered. Jackson continued, “Because of my legs, I’m about to be dumped. Just like you.” Victoria caught on quickly. “So the one who was supposed to marry you was the Binder family’s adopted daughter. But now that you’re disabled, she doesn’t want to marry you anymore.” Jackson nodded again. “Yes. That’s exactly it.” Victoria almost let out a bitter laugh. “Then why don’t you look upset at all?” Jackson said calmly, “You just got dumped by your boyfriend, and you don’t look upset either.” “He’s just trash. Good riddance.” Victoria curled her lips in disdain. Jackson studied her, the admiration in his eyes deepening. “You’re surprisingly chill about it.” Victoria let out a small scoff. “Of course. Why waste time and energy feeling bad over someone who isn’t worth it?” She had started dating Gavin after saving his life by chance two years ago. After that, he had chased after her nonstop, using gratitude as an excuse.
For two whole years, he acted devoted, as if he would never marry anyone but her. He didn’t seem to have any serious flaws. She figured having a man around could help her take care of the herb garden and keep other men from bothering her, so she agreed to date him. But she never expected that the moment Gavin found out he was the heir to a wealthy family, he would turn on her so quickly. Jackson smiled. “Same here. She’s trash anyway. Better not to marry her.” There had never been anything between him and Angelica Binder. Their engagement had only been arranged by his grandfather for a business alliance. Now that his legs were disabled, Angelica’s parents naturally didn’t want her to marry him anymore. But the Thornton family was the most powerful family in Benwig City, with huge wealth and influence. They weren’t willing to give up the alliance, either. In the end, they planned to have their biological daughter, Victoria, marry him in Angelica’s place. Victoria went straight to the point. “It’s just strange. How could it be such a coincidence? Right after your legs were disabled, my birth parents suddenly found me and decided to have me marry you instead of their adopted daughter.” She let out a cold, mocking laugh. “Looks like they always knew I was their real daughter. I just had no value to them, so they left me out here all this time and never brought me home.” Jackson didn’t try to comfort her with lies. “I think you’re right.” Victoria gave a cold sneer. If that was true, then her birth parents were even more heartless than she had thought. Still, one thing didn’t make sense to her. “Since you already know what the Binder family is planning, why not just give up on the alliance? Why walk straight into their trap?” “I had someone look into you,” Jackson said calmly. “You sell medicine, and you’re pretty well-known around here. “I heard you’ve treated quite a few difficult cases with your own methods.
My legs are disabled. Over the past month, I’ve invited top doctors from all over the country, but none of them could help. “So I came here myself to see if marrying you would be a trap or a chance for me.” He didn’t hide why he came. Victoria found him interesting. She shrugged. “Well, you’ve seen me now. I’m just a wild country girl. My birth parents, the ones I’ve never even met, clearly don’t like me. “Do you still want to marry someone like me? I’m just a real daughter who isn’t valued and is just being used as a substitute bride.” Jackson looked at her closely. At first glance, she wasn’t the delicate type raised in comfort.
