章 1772: The first date (6)

"Do you remember the crisis that happened about a month ago?", Penny asked Becca.

Becca didn't need to think much to recollect the events Penny was talking about. "The one when dad worked several days without coming home?"

Penny confirmed. "That one. It was an organized attack on White, Smith, and Long families, and Victoria was one of the people behind it. I don't know if Gabriel ever looked at Victoria romantically, but they were partners and she betrayed not only him, but she was willing to sink several families out of anger because she can't get what she believed belongs to her. People died. I was there on the day of the attack, with Victoria… She was not afraid that she will be caught or that her friends are in danger. Her biggest problem was that kids are too noisy and that no one is willing to give her a tour of the property."

Becca noticed that Penny stopped talking and she waited to hear more but there was nothing.
