dancer too?
Knock knock. Someone knocked on the door.
Victoria wiped off the tears that had been flowing down her cheeks without her notice. Then, she endured the pain as she stood back up to answer the door. “Yes? Do you need anything?”
The person standing at the door was Janice Mooney, the customer who stood up for her just now.
When Victoria realized that Janice was staring at her legs, she quickly rolled down her pants with her left hand while using her right hand to hold her torn shirt in place. She looked like a mess at this moment.
“Did they bully you?” Janice had knocked on the door when she heard the sound of weeping coming from the workroom. And when she saw the terrible bruises on Victoria’s legs, she was shocked and angry. “I’m a lawyer. You can tell me if you’re facing any trouble. I’ll help you!”
“Thank you, but that won’t be necessary.” Victoria was abandoned by her family and friends, yet a stranger whom she had never met before was showing concern for her. She could not find any words to describe the mixed feelings that she currently felt.
“Are you afraid that the legal fees will be too expensive?” Janice patted her chest and said, “Don’t worry! I won’t take your money! If I don’t win this case, I can ask my mentor to help you with it. I’ll pay the legal fees!”

Janice frowned upon hearing that. Confusion and anger were evident on her baby face. “Do you have something that you can’t tell me? Are you afraid that this club will take revenge on you or-
“Miss, don’t try to be a hero here. Karma will come back and bite you.” Daisy cut Janice off with a smirk on her face as she linked arms with a man in his fifties and walked over to them gracefully. “I’d advise you to stay away from Victoria. She’s a criminal after all.”
When the old man first saw Victoria’s face, he had had some impure thoughts of her, but after hearing that…
Likewise, Janice was stunned as well. This janitor looks so shy and gentle. How could she be a criminal?
“You don’t believe me?” Daisy let go of the old man and walked over to Victoria. She then pushed Victoria and bellowed, “Tell her yourself!”
Since Victoria was young, she had hated people touching her, especially pushing her. However, she had been forced to fix this quirk during her time in prison. “Two years ago, I served in prisnovelxo.com fast updateon for attempted murder.
“What…” When Janice heard that, she felt shocked and awkward, and she did not know how to describe her feelings at the moment. “I…” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Thank you for your kindness. I still have a job to do, so I’ll be leaving now.” Victoria was already used to the reaction that people would give her upon learning that she was a murderer. She turned around to take the cleaning tools before leaving the workroom and shut the door behind her.
Meanwhile, Daisy linked arms with the old man again. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and hints of satisfaction and jealousy could be seen in her eyes. “A pretty murderer is still a murderer, Mr.
Barlow. Stay away from her if you see her next time. Who knows if she will kill you for your money,” she said loudly on purpose to make sure that Victoria, who was mopping the floor at the front, could hear her.
