She believed interest was the first step to bringing people closer and that if she could get Brynn to feel even a spark for Dominic, she could create a few chances for them to spend time together, and everything else would fall into place.
With this thought, Victoria began searching for news about Dominic online.
She remembered that during Dominic’s presidential campaign, his opponents had posted many handsome photos of him online, attacking him for having only looks and no substance.
Although she was angry at that time and had immediately logged onto her social account to fire back, she had to those photos were good. They made Dominic look a hundred times more handsome than movie stars.
Even she, his mother, couldn’t help but look at them repeatedly. She was sure that as soon as Brynn saw those pictures, she would fall for him.
However, despite her excitement, Victoria scoured the entire internet and couldn’t find a single photo. Not just pictures, there wasn’t even a trace of his name or any related information.
Victoria wondered, “What’s going on? Could it be that those competitors were jealous of Dominic and deleted all the photos! That’s impossible. If those people had the guts to do that, they wouldn’t have lost the election.

Victoria: [That’s not important right now. Hey, send me a selfie.]
Her unusual words made Dominic even more sure that it was his mother who sent

message. She always acted like this
Victoria: [What else could I be up to? I just miss you. I can’t see you in person, so at least let me see a picture of you.]
Victoria knew she couldn’t tell Dominic her true purpose.
However, Dominic was very smart. He immediately saw through Victoria’s lies.
Dominic: [Tell me the truth.]
Victoria: I am telling the truth.]
Dominic thought, ‘Does she think I’m stupid? Do I look that gullible!
Victoria realized that she couldn’t get the photos from Dominic. Afraid of being caught and taken home, she quickly ended

Victoria was troubled. She thought, “Why is it so difficult to set two people up?”

Victoria felt that she might need to learn some tips from others, so she took out her iPad, opened an audiobook website, put on her headphones, and began to seriously study relevant topics.
Meanwhile, the doorbell rang. Wearing headphones and immersed in her studies, Victoria didn’t hear the bell at all.
Upstairs, Brynn heard the doorbell ringing for a long time without stopping. She tucked Zoe in, frowned, and went downstairs.
Seeing Brynn coming downstairs, Victoria subconsciously lowered her head guiltily, pretending to be watching a T” “ries.
Brynn didn’t notice anything unusual and walked straight to the door, pulling it open.
The moment she opened the door, however, she regretted it because standing there was the last person she wanted to see- Chase.
