Chapter 013
Twenty minutes later, the convoy of cars pulled up in front of a house on Elmwood Street.A residential area on the west side of Corholt—rows of neat but modest homes, streetlights that were half-dim, and front yards that had never quite been properly kept.Not a slum.Just... ordinary.But compared to the forty-second floor penthouse Vivienne had just walked out of tonight, this neighborhood looked like a dump.At one point, Norman had bought the Desmond family a house in Hartwell Heights—one of the most exclusive residential areas in Corholt, with a private garden, a three-car garage, and neighbors whose names regularly appeared in the city's business pages.A more than decent home.A home that frankly exceeded anything this family deserved.But the Desmonds had sold it at half price just to move it fast, blown through the money in a matter of days, and ended up here.On Elmwood Street.In a rented house with paint peeling at the corners.Camille and the others got out and helped un

The entire lobby fell dead quiet.Vivienne's expression froze, then cracked.The anger was still there, still burning—but behind it was something else. Something smaller.Dread.But just as quickly, anger swept back in and swallowed everything else.Norman...You actually humiliated me like this?Here.In front of Nathan? In front of everyone?Not only did you fail to apologize, you actually destroyed my dignity in front of the very people I cared about impressing—you threw mud directly in my face!Vivienne’s chest rose and fell violently.Fine.Let’s see who can hold out until the end!Even if you grovel and cry tears of blood, I will not forgive you easily this time.I SWEAR!Vivienne drew one deep breath. Short, controlled.Then she turned back to the guard, chin lifted.The familiar arrogance returned to her face."Tell Norman," she said, her tone polished to as cold as she could manage, "The time is up to me. I have a beauty appointment tomorrow morning. I don’t have time to deal

Camille instantly caught on to Vivienne's plan.A knowing smile spread across her face. "Count me in.""Norman went way too far tonight. He owes Viv an apology. And he owes me one too. If he has any sense... he'll get on his knees and apologize."Saying so, she was already on her feet, reaching for her bag.The others quickly agreed.Within moments, everyone was ready to leave.Vivienne nodded with satisfaction, “Let’s go then.”Norman...You wanted to make me lose face?Fine.Tonight... you’ll be kneeling in front of everyone.They walked out of Imperial Lounge together.The sound of high heels clcked against the marble floors, laughter echoing through the narrow corridor as they headed for the elevator.Vivienne walked at the front.Head held high. Back perfectly straight. A confident smile on her face.Nearly twenty minutes later, they pulled up outside Grand Corholt Tower.Before anyone could approach the entrance, several security guards stepped forward and blocked their way.Eve

She picked up her wine glass."Come on. Let's drink. Don't let him ruin the night."The tension gradually faded.The background music shifted to something livelier, the wine went into its third bottle, and the conversation found its flow again between laughter and old stories.But Vivienne wasn't fully there.Every few minutes, her eyes drifted to her phone on the table—screen dark, no notifications, no missed calls.She had already made up her mind.The moment Norman called, she'd hang up.No matter how desperately he apologized or begged for forgiveness, she wouldn't give him the chance.Hoverever, half an hour passed.Then another.Still nothing.Her brows slowly knitted together.Why hadn't he called yet?What was that idiot actually thinking?!That wasn’t like Norman.Whenever they argued, he was always the first to give in. Always the first to apologize.But tonight... there was nothing.Enough.Vivienne grabbed her phone, pressed Norman's name, and held it to her ear.Just wait

“Who the hell are you?”Camille froze for a beat."I'm Camille, Viv's best friend. What, you think I don't have the right to call you out?"Norman let out a cold snort."Who the hell asked for your opinion? Mind your own damn business. Now get lost, you bitch!"Click.The line went dead."What?!" Camille stared at the darkened screen.Nobody had ever hung up on her before. Her face burned with humiliation.Meanwhile, back at the apartment, Norman calmly dropped Camille's number to his blacklist before tossing the phone onto the table.He already knew exactly why Camille had called.Women like Camille had no sense of shame.Facts never mattered to them.They only cared about taking sides, protecting their own interests, and always wanting more.So why wast his time?Birds of a feather flock together.Camille's love life had always been a complete mess.Even in his previous life, the gossip surrounding her and her sugar daddys had never stopped.Just hearing her voice again was enough t
Chapter 008
Imperial Lounge was on the twenty-third floor of the Harlow Square building—a bar with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, dim golden lighting, and a sweeping view of Corholt spread wide beyond the windows.Five men and one woman were already seated at the VIP table, trading drinks and laughter when Vivienne and Nathan arrived.The moment they stepped inside, every pair of eyes turned toward them, each wearing the same knowing smile.Everyone there knew about Vivienne and Nathan's history.Nathan only had to make a single call, and Vivienne would come running—no matter how late it was, even if it happened to be her birthday.If anyone claimed there was nothing between them, no one at the table would believe it."Finally!" Camille, in a wine-red dress with dark hair pinned up, called from the end of the table.Her eyes went straight to Vivienne's hand in Nathan's, and a teasing grin stretched wide on her face."I knew Nathan could get you out, even at this hour."Vivienne merely forced a fai
