ログインVivian POVI had deliberately chosen a wine-red jumpsuit today, which accentuated my graceful curves and highlighted my fair skin. My small face wore a captivating smile that could easily draw anyone in.Dominic Blackwood swallowed hard, instinctively tugging at his collar. Since our divorce, I had become bold and carefree, constantly surprising him.When he saw me pulling up James Scott, he scoffed, "You think you can show off your little tricks here?"I wasn't surprised to hear Dominic's voice. Recently, Scarlett Hayes had been getting harshly criticized online, and the Hayes family's shares had taken a hit. Of course, Dominic would rush to comfort his beloved.Once we stepped into the elevator, James couldn't help but comment, "Dominic Blackwood really is a dedicated lover. The moment he senses trouble with the Hayes family, he rushes over. But when you needed him before, you couldn’t even catch a glimpse of him."I raised an eyebrow, my tone flat. "When has Dominic ever cared abou
Vivian POVDominic Blackwood's fingers felt like they had been burned, and he suddenly released her. "Scarlett Hayes, if you’ve got a screw loose, you better keep your head down and behave. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you ended up dead!"He meticulously wiped his fingers with a tissue before tossing it into the trash, as if it had been contaminated with something extremely dirty.Scarlett Hayes felt a sharp pain in her chest. She knew that the moment she and the Hayes family were publicly shamed, they had become his discarded pawns. Now, all she could do was save herself.After a moment of calm, Scarlett dialed Anna's number. "Help me sign up for the boxing championship under the name Sable."...Lincoln Walter rested his chin on his hand, gazing at me with a dreamy expression. "Babe, really think about my proposal."I drove with a blank expression. "Lincoln, if you keep talking nonsense, I won’t hesitate to kick you out of the car."Lincoln Walter shrugged it off. "Come on, ba
Vivian povLincoln Walter tied up his messy silver hair and winked at me with his striking blue eyes. "I missed you, Vivian, so I found an excuse to come see you."I smiled. "If Lincoln wants to discuss business, then let's sit down and talk. But if it’s just some boring personal matters, I’m sorry, I’m quite busy and probably won’t have time to chat."Lincoln feigned extreme sadness. "So it seems I only have business value in your eyes, Vivian, with no personal charm whatsoever."As I turned to leave, Lincoln quickly called out to me, "Vivian, I hold 25% of the Hayes family's fashion business. Do you still want it?"I was clearly taken aback. I knew Lincoln had a significant stake, but I hadn't expected it to be as high as 25%. With my own shares, I could easily step into the Hayes family business.Lincoln revealed his cards and expressed his sincerity, so I had no reason to walk away. I sat down across from him. "So how much does Lincoln plan to sell it for?"Lincoln pushed a freshl
Vivian povI let out a cold laugh before driving away. Hiz bodyguard whispered, "Sir, she's driving your car." "Shut up. From now on, she’s our family’s savior, my great-aunt, Vivian Carter," he replied. Ryan Hunt suddenly felt a wave of relief. Thank goodness the person he bumped into while drunk was Scarlett Hayes. If it had been this great-aunt, would he even be alive?That night’s drama was particularly intense. The Hayes Family went all out to clear Scarlett's name and even set up a live stream. During the stream, Scarlett tearfully accused Ryan Hunt of harassment, subtly suggesting that someone was pulling the strings behind him, aiming to ruin her reputation and disgrace the Hayes Family's fashion brand. Many fans, who had been bought off, immediately tagged me, vowing to seek justice for Scarlett.Lia kelvin scrolled through the comments, shaking her head. "Scarlett Hayes is so shameless! Not only does she play the victim, but she also tries to smear you." While I played a hac
Vivian pov I showed no signs of fear on my face .As the crowd closed in, I wiped the blood from the corner of my lips and casually remarked, "I see Ryan not only wants to ruin himself but also drag the entire family down with him." Ryan Hunt sneered, "Vivian Carter, you're still tough-talking even when death is knocking at your door. I can't wait to see just how tough your bones really are." Just as he was about to signal his men to make a move, a series of honking sounds echoed from outside. Ryan's eyes turned red with fury. "You called the cops, you bitch?"I had set up an automatic alarm system on my phone, and I activated the emergency alert before sensing any danger. I just didn't know who the message would reach in my contacts. Clearly, help was arriving just in time.Ryan grabbed my collar, ready to unleash his wrath, but I coldly laughed, "Ryan, think carefully about whether you can pin a crime on me. How you’re charged is entirely up to me." Ryan's expression changed dramati
Vivian povI smirked, at that moment, Dominic Blackwood's phone inside the car was ringing incessantly. After driving a short distance, I threw the phone out the window. The radio announced a weather forecast, warning that a heavy storm was expected around nine o'clock tonight, urging citizens to take precautions. I smirked; it seemed even the heavens were against that dog of a man. I vaguely recalled a year ago when Dominic had taken me to the old family home to celebrate Killian's birthday. Halfway through, Dominic received a call from Scarlett Hayes and kicked me out of the car. Although we weren't on the highway, we were in a remote area with hardly any passing vehicles, and with a snowstorm hitting, I was freezing and shivering all over. Determined to reach the old house quickly, I gritted my teeth and walked twenty to thirty miles on foot. By the time I arrived at the old house, it was already noon. My coat was soaked, my lips were blue from the cold, and I looked like a drenche
Vivian pov I couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Even though we were divorced, in Dominic Blackwood 's eyes, I was still that woman who could be summoned and dismissed at will. Lia kelvin also thought Dominic was being unreasonable, but she didn't dare to reprimand him. Instead, she took small, caut
Vivian pov I frowned. Lincoln Walter had already given me the supplementary agreement, so why did he still want me to fetch the documents? Besides, we were merely business partners, sharing benefits while keeping a wary eye on each other. There was no way he would send me to get company files. I g
Vivian pov When I saw Dominic Blackwood's grim face, I seemed to snap back to reality. I pushed Lincoln Walter's hand away and struggled to stand up straight. Dominic Blackwood strode over to me, grabbed my wrist, and roughly pulled me toward the door. I stumbled as he yanked me along. Just as I w
Vivian povLincoln Walter noticed that I was taking my time to respond, so he lowered his voice and said, "If you don’t want it, I guess I’ll just keep it as a collectible?" Reluctantly, I accepted the shoe from him. Lincoln pressed on, "Vivian, since we’re partners now, we should at least add each
