Early life[]

Rogue[]
Victoria first showed up at Lex's charity gala and was later invited to the Luthor Mansion, where she proposed that Lex help her father, Sir Harry Hardwick, steal his own father Lionel's company LuthorCorp. Lex made a better proposal; that they take over both their fathers' companies. Lex knew that Sir Harry needed his shares to steal LuthorCorp, and Victoria manipulated Lex by using his hatred for Lionel to go in on the deal and her feminine charms.
Shimmer[]
Victoria and Lex were playing billiards when Amy Palmer walked in to serve drinks. Amy spilled the drinks all over Victoria and she was sure that Amy did that on purpose, but Lex was loyal to his staff and gave Amy the benefit of the doubt. Victoria agreed with Lex to steal Sir Harry's company, Hardwick Enterprises, as well as Lionel's. However, she went behind his back and stole information from Lex's laptop, which Clark Kent caught her doing.
When Lionel came to the mansion, Victoria left Lex alone to talk with him while she took a bath. Victoria was later attacked when she was taking a bath and nearly drowned by an invisible assailant but was rescued by Clark. She temporarily left the mansion and went to Metropolis for her own safety.
Hug[]
Victoria later returned to Smallville and came with Lex to Bob Rickman's reception where he reveals that he had chosen the Kent Farm as the next site for his new pesticide plant. Rickman was cordial with Victoria but hostile towards Lex. The pair continued planning to bring both their fathers down.
Leech[]
Victoria eventually revealed to Lex that she had stolen information from his computer, which turned out to be fake because she and her father purchased the worthless Cadmus Labs; this allowed Lex to steal Harry's company and bankrupt the thieving father-daughter duo. Lex never saw Victoria again; however, he did discover from photographs given to him by Roger Nixon that Victoria had an intimate affair with his father.
