Chapter 856
Victoria frowned slightly. “Of course, not! If I were truly interested in him, I wouldn’t have given you the chance in the first place.”
Johanna broke into a bright smile. “True enough. You’re pursued by the heads of great families-men like that hardly surprise you anymore.”
As she spoke, a thought seemed to spark in her mind.
“Victoria, my brother only secured his position because of you. He has always been devoted to you, following your lead, even supporting your ambitions and career. 1
“As for Lex… the Malcolm family has been drowning in scandals lately. Your dad’s dissatisfaction with them is obvious, so the odds of you being forced into that marriage alliance are slim.
“If you married my brother, you’d not only become my sister-in-law, but also gain the Ferrero family’s support. You’d be my sister-in-law and my dearest friend-who else would I help, if not you?
“You know I have no head for business. In the future, whether in the Walton family or the Kalen family, the stage would be yours to command.”
Victoria teased her with a smile. “Johanna, it seems you really are serious this time. I’ve never heard you talk about a man in terms of a future before.”
Johanna lowered her eyes, her lips curving in a smile. “He’s exactly my type. And now, with a family background that matches mine, nothing can stand in our way.’
Victoria gave a faint laugh. “That much is true.”
Johanna studied Victoria for a moment longer. Seeing no trace of jealousy or regret on her face, she finally let her guard ease. After being friends for so many years, she knew well how formidable Victoria could be.
Any man Victoria set her sights on had never escaped her grasp. If Victoria wanted to compete, Johanna would stand no chance.
