Chapter 2: You Scheme Against Me, I'll Sleep with Your Man
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open from outside, and a group of people rushed in - police officers, reporters, and members of the Scully family. Rachel, Vivienne's friend, ran up to her and slapped her hard across the face. "Vivienne, you slut! Do you know who this is? He's my fiancé!" Rachel cried, tears streaming down her face.
Vivienne licked her split lip, tasting the salty metallic tang of blood. She glanced at the excited reporters surrounding them and sneered. Then she hooked her arm around Sebastian's neck and kissed him passionately while cameras clicked away non-stop.
Sebastian hesitated for a moment when he realized what Vivienne was doing. He should have pushed her away or slapped her. Instead, inexplicably, he went along with it. He wrapped his arms around Vivienne's waist as she twisted like a fairy in his embrace.
After their hot kiss ended, Vivienne released Sebastian from her grip and looked up at Rachel triumphantly. "That's right! I did it on purpose. What are you going to do about it?" she taunted. Rachel forgot all about crying as she trembled uncontrollably, pointing an accusing finger at Vivienne.
The police stepped forward, saying, "Vivienne, you're under arrest for embezzlement of public funds and intentional injury."
Vivienne cooperated fully by extending both hands, which were then cuffed behind her back, revealing delicate wrists that had an eerie beauty to them, despite being restrained by cold metal handcuffs.
As they led Vivienne away past Rachel, who stood there pale-faced with shock, Vivienne paused briefly beside Rachel, whispering into her ear, "You dared scheme against me, so now I'll sleep with your man just to see who wins." Rachel turned white as a sheet.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Last night, she had schemed against Vivienne by drugging her, hoping to get her addicted to drugs and then have some street thugs rape her. Finally, Rachel would expose everything to the media and ruin Vivienne's life forever. But for some reason, Vivienne not only didn't fall into the trap but also ended up having sex with Sebastian Crowley instead.
Rachel was so angry that she felt like grinding her teeth into powder.
Outside the guest room door, Vivienne saw her father, Colton Scully, along with his wife and half-brother. They were all silently watching as she was being taken away in handcuffs. Each of them wore an expression of undisguised schadenfreude on their faces. Even though they were family members, Vivienne was like a thorn in their hearts that wouldn't go away until it was removed.
"Embezzlement of company funds and intentional injury." Both charges had been fabricated by her own family members, who wanted to frame her for these crimes.
A malicious glint flashed across Vivienne's eyes as she said to Colton, "Dad, don't forget to come see me! I've got something you want here. If you don't show up soon enough, I'll just throw it away casually without any care about who might pick it up."
