Chapter twenty-one

Vivian’s POVTo celebrate my newfound single status, James Scott and Lia Kim invited me to the vibrant nightlife of Paris—at the Night Color Bar. This place was notorious for being a money pit, and getting a VIP booth here could sell for a staggering one million. I didn’t want to refuse their kind gesture, so I donned a red spaghetti strap dress and headed out to meet them. As soon as I stepped into the bar, I was overwhelmed by a dazzling array of lights that danced in rhythm with the music. Young men and women writhed on the dance floor, seemingly trying to release all the pent-up desires within them. I rarely frequented such places; for the past three years, my outings had mostly been to the local market and my old family home. Faced with the opulence and chaos around me, I felt a bit dizzy. Little did I know, from the moment I walked in, I had captivated everyone’s attention, becoming the object of desire for many. People approached me one after another, but despite their advances

Vivian povEveryone knew that I was head over heels for Dominic Blackwood, even going so far as to donate my kidney to save him years ago.Not only that, but the entire elite circle knew that Margaret Blackwood was difficult to deal with, and the Blackwood family looked down on my background, making things tough for me.Yet, all these years, I had endured humiliation, holding onto my love for Dominic.Godwin jones chimed in, "So it’s really true? Dominic, you better think this through. Your little sister-in-law is gentle, a great cook, and most importantly, she’s devoted to you. A woman like that is hard to find in a lifetime."Salvador Park added, "Good riddance! Vivian Carter may be pretty, but her family background is lacking. Marrying her means you’d have to support her whole family. Now that you’re free from that burden, Dominic, you can live more freely. But then again, she’s been with you for three years; at least give her some parting money."Dominic Blackwood had thought abou

Scarlett Hayes POVVivian Carter instinctively grabbed my wrist in front of her. As my angry face loomed closer, the alcohol in her system faded significantly."Scarlett, this isn't the place for your drunken antics."I glared at her furiously. "Vivian, you and Dominic are divorced. Why can't you just let him go?"I hadn't seen Dominic Blackwood for days. A friend had told me he was at Nightshade, so I had dressed up and rushed over, only to spot Vivian with him from a distance.I wasn't stupid; I had already noticed Dominic's emotional fluctuations because of Vivian.That was a dangerous sign for me.Vivian smirked. "Scarlett, get it straight. It’s Dominic who’s been chasing after me, not the other way around. And maybe you should keep better tabs on your man instead of coming out here to bite at me."With that, she abruptly shook off my grip and walked into the restroom without looking back.Wasting her breath on someone like me made her feel a bit nauseous.I glanced at the red mar

Chapter twenty-four

Scarlett Hayes POVI felt drenched to the bone, my carefully applied makeup washed away, and my white dress stained with wine. Under the harsh lights, I looked like a ghost, utterly disheveled. What made me even more embarrassed was that no one at the table was willing to help me.Vivian Carter coldly warned, "Scarlett, this time it was red wine. Next time, it might be a cold knife. You better watch yourself!"I trembled with anger, but with Dominic Blackwood present, I couldn't lash out. Instead, I put on a pitiful act and whimpered, "I don't even know what I did to upset you, Vivian, to make you so furious."Vivian smirked inwardly. Over the years, I had played the role of the innocent flower so well that it was exhausting to watch. Suddenly, she pinched her nose and said to everyone, "I won't disturb you all while you sip your green tea to sober up. After all, I can't stand the smell of that fake sweetness."I couldn't miss the implication that Vivian was calling me a "green tea bi

Chapter twenty-five

Vivian POVMargaret Blackwood and her daughter took turns berating me, a scene that had become a regular occurrence during my three years of marriage.In their eyes, I was nothing more than a piece of trash, unworthy of even a hair from Dominic Blackwood . Marrying him was like striking gold from my ancestors' graves.I had once tolerated the mother-daughter duo because of my love for Dominic, but now that we had gone our separate ways, there was no reason to endure their insults any longer."I think the Blackwood family doesn’t need any more dogs; what they lack are two doghouses. If you two can’t come up with the money, I can generously cover this part, as a way to honor our three years together," I said, my voice steady.Margaret 's chest heaved with anger. "Vivian Carter, I may be your former mother-in-law, but with that filthy mouth of yours, you’re only ruining your own reputation. Who would dare to take you on after this?"Isabella Blackwood chimed in, "Exactly! A woman like yo

Chapter twenty-six

Dominic Blackwood POV I had just wrapped up an international video conference when my phone rang. Seeing that it was my sister, Isabella Blackwood, I couldn't help but frown.Ever since she had been following Mom around as a child, she hadn’t picked up any good habits but had certainly learned Margaret’s vanity and arrogance all too well. If she was calling me now, it was likely because she had gotten herself into some trouble and wanted me to bail her out.I immediately handed my phone to Ethan Brooke. "Tell her I'm in a meeting."Ethan, seeing the caller ID, felt a shiver run down his spine. But even if his boss was throwing a bomb his way, he had to deal with it, right?“Ms. Blackwood, I’m sorry, but Dominic is currently in a meeting,” Ethan said.Isabella’s voice came through the phone, laced with frustration. “Tell my brother that that lunatic Vivian Carter has shown up at the old house and smashed Mom's pair of blue-and-white porcelain vases worth $150 million! He needs to brin

Chapter twenty-seven

Dominic Blackwood POV My voice was laced with anger. "Vivian Carter, are you done causing a scene?"As Vivian Carter got off me, she immediately brushed off her dress as if it had been soiled.Seeing her like this only darkened my expression further.This woman had a knack for igniting my fury.Isabella Blackwood, seeing her ally had arrived, quickly chimed in, "Bro, this shameless woman not only smashed Mom's beloved blue-and-white porcelain but also tried to steal something to take home. You're just in time—call the cops and have her taken away!"Vivian Carter scoffed, "Ms. Blackwood, your act of playing the victim is so convincing. You should consider a career in acting.""You... stop slandering me! You're just upset that my brother dumped you and can't find another man to cling to, so you came back to the Blackwood family to steal some jewelry, Vivian Carter. Even if you're desperate, there should be a line you don't cross!"Vivian Carter was already used to Isabella's outrageous

Chapter twenty-eight

Vivian povI knew I couldn't retrieve the design drafts and that Dominic .Dominic would never allow me to touch a single hair on Isabella Blackwood or MargaretBlackwood.The Dominic could unhesitatingly defend his family, but he had never cared for me.He had always been like this.I let out a cold laugh. "Fine, I hope Dominic keeps his distance from me in the future. Even if we accidentally run into each other, let's act like strangers. Don’t lecture me just because you’re my ex-husband."Dominic frowned. Ever since I started the divorce proceedings, my ability to throw shade had only grown sharper, and I seemed to aim directly at his heart.He didn't like this feeling at all.I glanced down at my suitcase and suddenly felt that taking these things with me was meaningless.There was no need to hold onto anything when I was destined to be a passerby."Sorry, Dominic , I've dealt with too much trash today and don't have the energy to handle any more. Could you please help me get rid of

Chapter twenty-nine

Vivian povAlthough I smiled brightly, there was an underlying chill that made everyone shiver involuntarily.However, as soon as they remembered Isabella Blackwood's promise, they quickly regained their previous arrogant demeanor. No matter how powerful my aura seemed, I was just a maid—what was there to be afraid of?"Oh, I'm so scared! But too bad your tricks only work on men; they’re larger, eager to watch the drama unfold.I calmly took out a silk scarf from my bag and leisurely wiped the yogurt off my hair and face. The entire process was graceful, showing no signs of embarrassment.After I finished, I tossed my bag and the scarf in front of the girls."After all, I’m a few years older than you. If I were to fight back, it would seem like bullying. So how about this? I’ll be generous; you just need to pay for the bag and the scarf, and we can consider this matter closed."The girls were momentarily stunned. They had expected me to go crazy and fight them, which would give them t

Vivian povI looked at them with a faint expression. "It's hard to convince everyone when you've already condemned me without understanding the situation."Sandra Smith pointed a finger at me. "Don't try to fool us. Everyone knows that X's items are always uniquely coded. Yet, these two pieces you have share the same code. Doesn't that say something?""Exactly! If you had just admitted your mistake, we might have given you a chance. But instead, you refuse to admit it and act all high and mighty. What are you trying to prove?"My cold gaze swept over the faces of the girls. "After following Isabella Blackwood for so long, you still don't know that luxury brands have custom orders? Generally speaking, X's items do have unique codes, but if it's a custom order, it can have its own exclusive code."Hidden in the shadows, Isabella Blackwood suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.I was right; however, only the wealthy could afford exclusive codes. In the entire capital, the number of people
