Victoria smiled faintly and said,

"Exactly! Since you didn't like it, you have to try it! It's their signature dish!

", Honestly, her main purpose was to see how different the dish she made on her own compared to the restaurant's. Although she might not cook that dish anymore in the future, after contemplating for a while, she was still reluctant to part with the first dish she'd worked hard for! That dish to her was special. Even if it was not for Trevor, it was still special to her!, However, when she spoke, she could not help but felt a bit bitter., Alicia caught sight of her expression, and she could vaguely feel that she was unhappy. She seemed completely different from when they were fooling around on the phone the day before., It was supposed to a celebration after all, so she did not say anything. Soon, the dishes were served, and the two began to eat., They were both long-time friends and women, so they ate casually and talked about whatever they thought of. It was just a simple meal as they chatted about some family affairs, gossiped, and laughed a lot., She had eaten a lot of green peppers. Except for the restaurant's more delicate presentation and cutting them into smaller pieces, Victoria felt that the taste was almost the same., She secretly gave herself a passing score for her cooking skills. After all, if she could do as well as the restaurant, shouldn't the head chef who had years of experience be fired then?, After walking out of the restaurant, the two strolled around the nearby commercial district. They had nothing in mind to buy. When they walked out, there was coincidentally a discount voucher issued by a newly opened hair salon. The two of them took one each to try the place out. Alicia was growing her hair out, so they chose to wash their hair and style it., When they walked out, one was styled with big curls and the other with medium curls. It suited their individual styles indeed., After running her hands through her hair, Alicia took out her cell phone and took a picture.

"It's pretty natural. Their skills are quite good! When you're free next time, we can come again!

",

"Okay...

", It was already past four o'clock, and they were about to part ways after walking around. When Alicia looked at Victoria, she saw that her face was in pain, and her hand was pressed on her abdomen. Her steps considerably lagged behind. When she turned around, she took another step back.,

"Vicki, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Why is your face so pale?

", The pain made her teeth tremble. Victoria shook her head and said,

"Perhaps I got bloated from running just now. I am feeling some pain in my chest...

", While speaking, her breath was obviously unstable and it started to become erratic.,

"Let's take a break!

", She looked around and found a chair behind them. Then, Alicia helped Victoria to walk a few steps. Before they reached the chair, she saw that Victoria was in so much pain that she could not even move further. Not only could she not stand up, but her forehead was sweating too. From her appearance, it seemed that she wanted to vomit.

"Did you eat something that's bad?

", As she held her, Alicia began to feel tired herself.

"No! I'll take you to the hospital!

", Raising her hand, she immediately called a taxi. It took Alicia a lot of efforts to drag her into the car., After getting through the hospital registration formalities, Victoria went in as an emergency patient. Alicia helped her with all the procedures. For the time being, she did not know what the specific situation was or whether or not it was serious. She figured that Victoria might just have had something that was spoiled, or it could be an acute chest pain, and it would be bad if someone claimed that she was making a big fuss again. Therefore, she did not dare call Trevor to inform him, and she would just tell him once the results were out. At that time, Frederick had just finished discussing some business matters in the Black Golden Club. He heard that Willy and Carson were bowling next door, so he went to see them., As soon as he entered the private room, he heard a burst of laughter coming from inside. He looked up and saw Wyatt there too.,

"Ah, you're here as well. What's the matter? Why are you all so happy?

", Wyatt stood up and moved aside to make space for Frederick. Then, he handed him a wine glass and poured him some drinks.

"Carson called me and told me about Willy's situation. I had nothing to do, so I came by!

", As he spoke, he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth., On the other side, Carson was still laughing while holding a wine glass in his hand. He raised his hand and gestured to Willy, who was trying to vent his anger by bowling. He then tried to suppress his laughter, lowered his voice and said,

"Frederick, you have no idea! He's been to the women's prison twice, and he doesn't even know if the 'poison rose' is mute or not! He had been sucking up to her, and still ended up hitting a snag... Haha, it's so funny!

" , While he was feeling complacent, something knocked on his head with a dull thud.

"Are you done laughing? If I find out who's been spreading nonsense about me, I will definitely cut off their tongue!

" After sitting down, Willy poured himself a cup of wine as well and gulped it down, looking slightly depressed., As Wyatt and Frederick looked at each other, Frederick said,

"What's wrong? Didn't you negotiate with her? Did you not tell her that you can find a way to get her out?

", Wasn't it just an accidental damage? It was not a premeditated murder anyway. There must still be some way to help her!, Willy had not responded yet, and Carson, interrupted,,

"I know that! He's already said it, but, it's useless! That woman isn't swayed by it at all! Also, she won't give in to all these persuasions! heard that this 'poison rose' is really stubborn. No one can get to her. Also, she seems skilled...

" , Carson was frantically sharing all the news he had heard of her., However, Carson was pulled back forcefully. Willy gave him a sidelong glance and said,

"So, you think you know a lot!

", Wyatt and Frederick looked at each other again, and Wyatt said,

"Hey, it sounds like this woman is a little arrogant!

", He rushed to the front and raised his hand. Carson said,

"She is not just arrogant. She is basically a monster!

" Unable to restrain himself, he wanted to laugh again., Turning around, Willy glared at him coldly,

"Since when did you become such a gossipy person? If you hit a snag next time, I will definitely have, my men in front of your house and have a good laugh at you for days!

" , QUMS, Covering his mouth, Carson obediently retreated and said,

"Just pretend that I didn't say anything. Be happy, my friend! Don't be so petty...

", As he chattered, his eyes still couldn't help but narrowed., Looking at the two of them, Frederick couldn't help but let out a faint laugh as well.

"Haha, this woman has managed to trip the great Mr. Bowles... However, I still believe that every human has their weakness!

" No one was invincible!, Wyatt nodded and said,

"Do you need me to send someone to find out about it?

",

"No need, I can handle it! I'll definitely be able to pick this poison rose. If I can't, then my name isn't Willy Bowles!

", Stretching out his hand again, Carson said,

"Can I say something?

", Frederick and Wyatt laughed, and Carson continued,,

"Hey, I bet that you won't be able to handle that woman. We can even bet on anything! Just to make it clear in advance, I'm not talking about just making her speak. I'm saying that you must pick this 'poison rose'!
