Chapter 7

作者: Strawberry
The car rolled through the rain, leaving Adrian behind in the storm.

I lowered the window just enough to see him in the rearview mirror.

He stood soaked to the bone in the middle of the downpour, one hand over his face as he finally broke down.

Then I rolled the window back up, shutting out the wind, the rain, and the sound of him crying my name.

My phone buzzed.

It was a message from my mother.

'We saw. Your father says he’ll handle the rest.'

I replied with two words.

'Thank you.'

    “Adrian, you disgust me.”I did not bother hiding my contempt.“Do you really think I ended our engagement because of Chloe?”He froze.“I ended it because you’re selfish, dishonest, and incapable of taking responsibility for anything.”I spoke slowly, one word at a time.“The second something goes wrong, you blame a woman. Do you think throwing Chloe under the bus will make me look back at you?”“Keep dreaming.”I pressed stop on the recorder sitting on my desk and slid it toward him.“I recorded what you just said about Chloe using the pregnancy to threaten you.”Adrian’s face went white.“You… what are you going to do?”“Nothing.” I smiled faintly. “I just think Chloe would be very touched to hear it.”“After all, she’s your loyal best friend. The one who was willing to throw everything away for you.”“Vivienne, you can’t do this!” His voice cracked. “You’ll ruin me!”“Me?”I stood and walked toward him.“Adrian, the person who ruined you was you.”I pressed the in

    I did not waste time explaining.I dropped the folder of documents into the group chat.The title read:'Adrian Cole and Chloe Bennett: Three Years of Hotel Stays and Financial Transfers'The first file contained their hotel records from the past three years, timestamped down to the minute.The second showed Adrian’s transfers to Chloe, from designer bags costing a few thousand dollars to a six-figure down payment on her sports car.The third was a screenshot of a post Chloe had uploaded three days earlier.It showed a staged, alarming photo and a caption that read:'If everyone thinks this is my fault, maybe disappearing is the only way I can prove I’m innocent.'I typed:'To all: I’m sorry today’s engagement party ended this way.These are the records of Adrian Cole and Chloe Bennett’s relationship. As Adrian’s former fiancée, I thought the Cole family deserved the facts.Chloe also appears to be in an unstable emotional state. The Cole family may want to check on her bef

Your father says he’ll handle the rest.'I replied with two words.'Thank you.'Then I opened a family group chat without Adrian in it.My mother had created it three days ago. It included my parents, Adrian’s parents, and the relatives from both sides who actually mattered.I typed:'To all: I’m sorry today’s engagement party ended this way.I have organized the full evidence and will send it here shortly. My parents will also be ending all business partnerships with the Cole family. Please take note.'My mother replied at once.'I support Vivienne’s decision.'My fath

    “Vivienne, listen to me. That recording was edited. It’s fake. Someone is trying to set me up!”“Was the dash-cam data edited too?”I looked at him without an ounce of warmth.“Yesterday, three o’clock. The mountain road outside the city. Your car.”“Do you want me to put the route history on the screen too?”The last trace of hope drained from Adrian’s face.His knees buckled.He dropped to the stage.“Vivienne, I was wrong. I made a stupid mistake. She came onto me!”He pointed at Chloe, trying to throw every bit of blame onto her.“I only love you!”Chloe jerked her head up, staring at him in disbelief.“Adrian, what did you just say? You were the one who dragged me into that car yesterday!”“Shut up!” His eyes went red. “You seduced me! You knew I was getting married, and you still wouldn’t leave me alone!”“Me?” Chloe shot to her feet, as though he had struck a nerve. “Adrian, say that again with a straight face.”“Who texted me in the middle of the night saying, ‘V

    “Careful!”Adrian cried out and instinctively tossed aside the microphone, catching Chloe securely in his arms.She collapsed against his chest as the ring box slid off the tray and hit the floor with a sharp clatter.“Adrian, I’m sorry. I was just nervous,” Chloe said softly, leaning into him.“It’s okay. You’re not hurt, are you?”He helped her upright with a tenderness he had never shown me.Then he even reached up to smooth the hair that had fallen out of place.The ballroom went quiet.Everyone was watching the absurd scene onstage.Once Chloe had steadied herself, she bent down to retrieve the ring box.As she did, the neckline of her loose gown slipped lower.The concealer at her collarbone no longer hid the dark purple mark beneath it.Under the bright stage lights, it was impossible to miss.A kiss mark.Someone in the crowd sucked in a breath.Adrian saw it too.His face went white.He reached out instinctively, trying to pull her neckline back into place.B
