time.
- ne. Cecil Marshall
Seriously? Everyone knew about Eric and Victoria being g close after what happened at the pool hall. No way Cecil wanted to mess with Victoria, especially if he wanted to keep his spot at the Snooker club.
Cecil even brought out a box of fancy chalk, handing it to Victoria with a grin, “Victoria, this is some top–notch imported chalk, way better than the usual stuff. Give it a shot.”
Victoria frowned and shot him a look, “No thanks.”
She was still wa

know this guy, and his sudden attempt to butter her up felt like another trap.
Cecil handed the box to Mira instead. “Mira, you take it.”
Mira looked confused, “No need, Cecil. What’s with the
the sudden generosity?”
Then it hit her–Cecil was the one who handled the last draw.
“Wait a minute, did you rig the last draw? Now that you know Victoria’s got connections, you’re trying to make up for it? No wonder she got stuck with a top seed out of over a hundred people!”
Cecil scratched his head, looking awkward. “No way! Our draws are totally random.”
Mira snorted,

buying it, and pulled Victoria away to get ready for the match.
Cecil stood there, looking pretty embarrassed.
Natalia had seen the whole thing and walked over, speaking calmly, Cecil, Victoria used to be the Scott family’s daughter from Silvervale, with really high standards. But then they found out she wasn’t their kid and kicked her out. She didn’t take it well and stayed super arrogant.”
Cecil suddenly got it. “I thought she was from a rich family. Even as fake heiress, she’s still so stuck–up, totally clueless about her situation.”
Natalia added, “Yeah, now she’s hanging on to Eric. No one dares to cross her.”
Cecil sneered, “Eric changes girlfriends like every month. Once he’s done with her, I’ll deal with her. Let’s see who helps her then.”
Natalia laughed smugly at that
Victoria and Mira both cruised through the rematch, but there was still one more round of finals. In the end, twenty new members would join the club.
Even though the competition was tougher, Ella picked a greedy opponent and still made it to the finals.
he was sure she could bribe her way into the Snooker club,
Money really did make the world go round!
After the match, Mira insisted on treating because she had freeloaded two meals from Victoria and felt bad about it
Chapter 45 Custom Billiards Cue Stick–1
Victoria agreed but suggested going for desserts near the school.
She had already decided Mira was a friend worth keeping.
The two of them headed to Sweet Haven Comer.
Mira was impressed, “Victoria, I can’t believe there’s such a great dessert shop near the school, and I didn’t know about it!”
Victoria smiled, her cheeks puffed up like a cute little squirrel as she stuffed her mouth with cake.
She also mentioned that Charlotte had decided to transfer the shop to her. They signed a five–year contract, making sure Victoria wouldn’t fire Charlotte for any reason during that time.
Mira was surprised, “You re actually opening a shop.”
Victoria replied, “Yeah, I plan to fix it up nicely. When it opens, you should come and help.”
Mira clapped her hands, “No problem!”
Two days later, it was time for the finals.
Victoria had told Eric about the cheating in the draw, so he personally supervised it. The draw was done in the morning, and the matches were held in the afternoon.
Ella couldn’t pick her opponent and could only hope
pe the one she drew needed money. Besides money, she had no other plan.
Coincidentally, Mira ended up being Ella’s opponent.
Before Mira could say anything, Victoria stopped her and whispered. “Wanna switch?
Mira hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
When Ella saw her opponent was Victoria, her face went pale. Victoria definitely
nitely wouldn’t go easy on her.
She clenched the paper strip in her hand, trying to stay calm. Victoria’s snooker skills couldn’t be that great. As long as she played well, she could beat Victoria. After all, she had been reborn!
The match was about to start when Victoria got a message from Ethan, asking her to meet him in the locker room.
Victoria made her way to Ethan’s private locker room. He was leating against the door, dressed in black sportswear, looking sharp and fresh. His eyes were slightly downeast, and his long, thick eyelashes cast a shadow on his face.

Hearing her approach, Ethan looked up,
“You’re here.”
Victoria, a bit surprised, asked, “What do you want? The match is about to start.”
Ethan looked at her seriously, then suddenly smiled and pulled out a cue stick from behind him.
The cue stick was just chest high, with a pink and purple color schere, every curve smooth and exquisite.

Victoria remembered the day they played go–karting together; Ethan had been quite observant.
She didn’t refuse and reached out to take the cue stick. “Thanks.”
In fact, as soon as Victoria mentioned she wanted to join the Snooker club, Ethan had ordered it. The master craftsman he hired had rushed the job, and it was only completed today.
Victoria admired the cue stick, feeling comfortable and very light, nodding in satisfaction. “It’s so beautiful. I think it’s a waste to use it for playing.”
Ethan frowned. “I gave it to you. If it gets worn out, there’s more. You have to use it today.”
Victoria, feeling playful, tilted her head and smiled at him. “What if don’t use it? What c leave.

Victoria pushed him away, covering her burning ears. “What are you doing? If someone sees us, I won’t be able to explaint”
“Explain what? Ethan asked, playing dumb.
“Not talking to you anymore, I’m going to the match. Victoria glared at him, knowing he was messing with her.
Ethan added, “You must use it, I’ll be watching.”

Lita loudly praised, “Ella, is this the new model from DiamondCueWorks?”
Many people were drawn by her voice and looked over at Ella
Ella raised her chun proudly, “My dad specially ordered it for me, limited edition yellow”
DiamondCurWorks was the most popular brand for snooker cues, and new models cost thirty thousand dollars.

Natalia also touched the cue stick enviously. The feel is amazing, and it’s a limited color. It must have cost at least fifty thousand dollars.”
Ella nodded modestly, enjoying the envious gazes around her.
Mira rolled her eyes at their show–off.
Just then, Victoria came over, and Mira immediately noticed the new cue stick in her hand.
She mimicked Lila’s tone and exaggeratedly exclaimed, “Victoria, your cue stick is so exquisite and beautiful, much more high–end than someone’s
Victoria was taken aback, smiling at Mira’s exaggerated expression, Inowing that she was triggered by something again.
Everyones attention was successfully drawn by Mira.
Mira made a face at Victoria, then picked up Victoria’s cue stick and looked closely at the end, shouting oven louder, “This is made by Jay, the master from DiamondCueWorks; it has his mark! It’s custom–made one!
Victoria instantly understood that Mira was competing with Ella.
It was obvious to everyone that Victoria’s cue stick was more expensive and exquisite. Instantly, she received a lot of attention.
Ella was left out, so angry she could hardly breathe.
Natalia shouted loudly, “What’s there to be proud of? It’s probably

People whispered, convinced it was true because Victoria dressed very low–key, without any luxury brand labels.

At this moment, a cold, penetrating male voice came through, “I gave it to her,

Everyone was shocked and looked at Ethan sitting high up. The venue fell silent.
Eric and the other two also sat down beside him. The Charming Fold from the computer science department all gathered to watch the match.
Natalia shrank her neck, remembering that Wendy had already been expelled, and quickly apologized to Victoria with a sobbing
Топе
Victoria glanced at her indifferently; Natalia was just a sideshow: Ella was the main event.
The match began.
