All Chapters of Divorce Countdown: She's Suddenly Falling For Me?: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

When Logan turned around, he saw Vivian rushing toward him, panic written all over her face. Without hesitation, she hurled her handbag at his shoulder. "You've gone too far!" she shouted, her voice trembling with fury. "What the hell did you do to Julian? Logan, I swear I'll fight you to the end!" She lunged at him, raising her hands to strike, but the doctor and several nurses quickly stepped in to restrain her. Logan stood still, fists clenched. He looked at her rage-filled expression and asked coldly, "If he didn't do anything wrong, why would I beat him up for no reason?" Vivian let out a bitter laugh. "What could he have possibly done wrong? He just got engaged to me! You were jealous he could be with me, so you snapped and hit him. Look at how brutal you were. Do you even have a conscience anymore?" Her voice rang out, sharp and accusing. The doctor and nurses, who had assumed Logan was the kind stranger who'd brought Julian in, suddenly realized he was the assailant

Vivian opened her mouth to say something, but for a moment, her resolve faltered. A soft breath escaped her lips as she forced herself to calm down. Then she stepped forward and gently took Julian's hand. "I'm sorry," she said quietly. "I might've been a bit too harsh just now." Julian's eyes reddened. His voice was soft, tinged with emotion. "And when you said I used to be gentle, that I never picked fights with anyone—well, that's exactly why I was willing to take the risk of you hating me this time. I only went after Logan's girlfriend because I care about you. Because I can't stand seeing you hurt. "I wouldn't have done something like that for no reason, Vivian. I did it for you." His tone was righteous and aggrieved. Vivian listened, and her heart softened again. She let out a quiet sigh. "Fine. I know you meant well. I won't blame you anymore. You were wrong to resort to violence, but as long as I'm here, Logan won't be able to do anything to you. Just rest and recove

But Logan was the kind of person who, once he liked someone, gave his heart completely. Unless he saw no hope at all, he wouldn't let go. Even though he and Vivian were divorced now, he had no desire to invest in any kind of relationship again—at least not anytime soon. That last relationship, where he gave everything without holding back, had left him battered and bruised. Right now, he felt nothing but indifference toward the people around him. So when he answered Sophie's questions, his tone had grown noticeably more casual, even distant. Sophie could tell. It was obvious he wasn't interested in her. She pouted and tilted her head. "Do you already have a girlfriend? Or are you married? Why are you so cold toward me? Am I not pretty enough? Every time I ask you something, you barely give me an answer." Logan looked slightly caught off guard. He gave a faint, wry smile. "You've misunderstood, Miss Miller. It's not that I'm ignoring you or not interested. It's just that I'm

As Sophie listened, her emotions were a tangled mess. But when she looked at Logan, her gaze carried a new layer of admiration and a trace of sympathy. She quickly said, "Don't worry. One day, Vivian will pay the price for choosing the wrong person." Logan gave her a faint smile. He had to admit, he admired the blunt honesty in both father and daughter. He stood up. "I'll deliver the patent documents later tonight. Let's settle everything then. Cash for the patent, clean and simple." Henry nodded and gestured him toward the door. As Logan walked out with him, he didn't notice the lingering gaze Sophie cast behind him—an expression full of growing interest and curiosity. Just as they stepped into the courtyard, Logan spotted a servant talking to someone at the gate. A familiar face came into view, making him stop short, his brow instantly furrowing. Henry followed his gaze and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? You know that guy?" Logan pressed his lips together and gave a s

Logan gazed at her with a blank expression, betraying no emotion. Vivian said nothing to him and instead gave a polite nod to Henry. "Mr. Miller, I came to speak with you regarding the investment project. I—" Before she could finish, Henry cut her off. "I've already spoken to your company's representative. I won't be investing in any of your projects. You can head back now." Vivian blinked in disbelief, stunned by the flat rejection. "Why are you refusing to invest in our group?" she asked, her tone edging with incredulity. "The Brooks Corporation has a solid track record. We've never operated at a loss. Even our new ventures fall well within our proven expertise." As she spoke, her eyes flicked to Logan, and her voice took on a subtle sharpness. "Or is there something—or someone—causing you to hesitate about working with us?" Logan kept his gaze averted. Holding the patent documents in his hand, he lowered his head and said nothing, doing his best to fade into the ba
