251. SHE REVEALED EVERYTHING
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Maybe that's not fair to Steen. Vivian wasn't even sure whether he was being sincere with her or not, but she dared to use the word "care" to threaten the man so he would let her go peacefully.
Instead of exposing herself, Vivian asked the man to let her go without revealing her true identity and also reporting her crime to the police. Only because of her selfishness, she did do all that, and in the end, she managed to leave Dahl's mansion safely.Steen didn't even say anything when she said she would leave him. She had also said that the real Elena would be coming to the mansion tomorrow to fill the role she left off, but the man still didn't say anything. At that time, Vivian couldn't even read what was on Steen's mind, but she left him anyway.She only had a bag of clothes with her, and she didn't even tell Stefan or Kate that she was leaving even if she originally planned to tell them before Elena would be coming to replace her in a few days.<Related chapters

The room was enveloped by silence even though there were two people in the room. One was sitting, while the other was standing. The person who looked really bothered by many things was the one sitting on the sofa, but the person standing in front of that person didn't look relaxed either. Both of them had wrinkles on their foreheads, and it just showed how both of them were thinking about things right now. "Has there been any progress with the cell phone?" The person sitting on the sofa finally broke the silence in the room, but he didn't bother to look at the person standing in front of him with only the coffee table as a divider. Steen's deep voice finally broke the silence in the bedroom, and the person who caught the voice was Marlon Robs. The assistant was summoned by the boss to the mansion, even the boss asked him to come directly to his bedroom. Of course, the two of them would only have serious conversations even if they were in the bedroom tog

"What box are you talking about, Tommy?" The woman looked very curious as she asked the younger man. It seemed the three members of the Vester family were having an important meeting in their living room right now. Tommy had just come home from work, and the first thing he reported to his mother was how he noticed Vivian looking suspicious when she brought a wooden box into Steen's office today. “That is a wooden box that looks like a treasure chest,” replied the curly man. “I watched the bitch take the box into Steen's office, and after she left his office, she no longer had the box in her hands. I tried questioning her, but she looked disheveled and refused to answer me. She said she would tell us everything, but today is not the time. Oh! And she even blackmailed me by saying that she would reveal our lies in front of the Dahls if I kept questioning her about the box!" Tommy had only reported the truth to his parents, and he could see how confused th

Neither of them knew why Elena had suddenly returned to their house, nor did they know why the girl had suddenly cut her hair so she looked more like Vivian tonight. Even Lily thought the girl was Vivian, and it was Tommy who noticed that it was his sister who suddenly appeared in the house. At first glance, Elena looked similar to Vivian, but maybe Tommy still remembered one of the differences between his sister and Vivian. Vivian had a mole under her left eye, while his sister did not. So, when his eyes missed the mole on the girl's face, he could immediately conclude that it was his younger sister who had just come home. The door of the house was once again closed to prevent outsiders from hearing their voices, and four people were sitting in the living room. Elena had just returned after she had been away from home for several months, but there was no warm welcome in the house. Instead, it was just a chill in the living room when the four finally reunited, bu

"Wha... what are you talking about, Elena?" Lily could only stutter in response, and her face turned pale as if she had just received the worst news she had ever heard. Even her husband and son who were sitting on the same sofa as she were speechless, and they also had shocked expressions on their faces as they continued to stare at the girl. Elena was the only person who could stay relaxed in the living room. Carefully, she observed the expressions of the three people, and she knew that the three of them knew something, but they had never told her about it. “The reason why I decided to leave this place is that I know that I am not part of this family,” Elena answered firmly. “Just like what happened tonight, the three of you couldn't control your mouths and were talking so loudly about how I am not blood-related to you all, and I was standing right in front of the door that day. Therefore, I heard everything, but I didn't directly confront you about wh

It was a rare sight when Steen stayed in his bedroom at night instead of traveling out there. He wasn't always like that years ago, but after his mother died, he didn't like spending time in this mansion, and that was why he rarely stayed in this place. When he was outside the mansion at night, he didn't always spend time with women in the hotel, but he mostly spent time in his penthouse at The Golden Roof Apartment. He bought the penthouse a few years ago when construction on the apartment was finished, and he started spending more and more time in it without his father's knowledge. Indeed, his father didn't even know that he had assets in The Golden Roof Apartment. His father only knew that The Golden Roof Apartment was one of their clients, but little did the old man know that he often spent time there. Only Marlon knew that he had a penthouse there, and only Marlon knew that he often went there alone. Yes, alone. Steen never took anyone to the place

When she was still living at Dahl's mansion, she always dreamed of being able to have breakfast with her mother every day just like when she was still living in Barden City and when her mother wasn't hospitalized back then. The reason behind the longing feeling was that she mostly visited her mother after she ate breakfast at Dahl's mansion, and that was why she felt it was incomplete since she couldn't eat with her mother in the morning. Today she was finally able to share a table with her mother at breakfast, but she wasn't feeling the least bit happy. Her mother cooked the food on the table. Of course, the food couldn't compare to that cooked by the chef at Dahl's mansion, but the reason behind her unhappiness wasn't that. She felt unhappy, and she had no appetite at all. To make matters worse, she could feel the symptoms of her morning sickness today even before she touched the food. "Is my cooking not to your liking, Vivi?" When

There was only a small difference between her and the girl named Vivian, and that was why it was no surprise that the members of the Dahl family didn't notice the difference when she finally regained her position as Steen's wife in the mansion. She even cut her hair just to make her look more like Vivian, and it all seemed to be working smoothly. She had also received sufficient information about this family from Vivian, and that was why she was able to act like that girl when she finally set foot in the Dahl mansion. She had to admit that Vivian was quite fair. The girl had returned everything to her, and she had also provided some guidance so she could now pretend as if she wasn't new to the mansion. The girl had given her quite a bit of information about Stefan, Kate, as well as Stanley, and she had even told her about what she used to call them when she was living in the mansion. So, no one realized that she wasn't the girl who used to live in the m

Elena still looked pale even after she managed to escape from Kate's grip. She didn't even know why the blonde woman would want to light a fire between them when their relationship was that of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Besides, that woman looked nice at first glance, so why was she acting like that toward her? What had Vivian done to that woman that she ended up treating her like that? Those questions were on Elena's mind, but she didn't dare to voice them out loud at this time. The reason behind it was that she was in the bedroom with someone this time, and that person was none other than Steen Dahl. Elena didn't even know where Steen had come from when the man suddenly appeared in the dining room, but judging by the neat clothes the man was wearing, she assumed he had come straight from his bedroom and was about to head to the company. Steen was ready to go to work, which was why Elena had no idea why he had asked her to go with him to the be

A name. It was not just a group of letters used to address someone so they would turn to the caller and not ignore the caller. A name had a deeper meaning than that. A name was used to identify a person, used to distinguish someone from other individuals. A name would always stick with a person from the time they were born until the day they last breathed, and even at their final resting place, their name would also be written or engraved to let everyone know that the body buried underground belonged to the owner of the name. A name was indeed an important part of one's life, and that was why one would not feel happy if someone called them by the wrong name. Perhaps that was also the reason why Vivian had returned to wearing a wedding dress today. It was still the same wedding dress she wore months ago when she officially became Steen's wife, but because she was using someone else's name then, she and Steen decided to have another wedding ceremony to announce to everyone that it was

Their next stop was the penthouse at the Golden Roof Apartments, and it might also be their last stop. Only three people entered the penthouse after Elena was sent to her family's residence. After Lily and her family were arrested by the police, the house was empty, and that's why Elena lived there temporarily. Yes, only temporarily because Elena planned to move after finding a suitable place to live. Vivian had actually invited her to move in with her and Sarah in the small house, but Elena rejected the idea, saying that she didn't want to disturb the two of them and that Sarah might be uncomfortable if she joined them to live in the cramped house. Vivian said that Sarah wouldn't feel that way because that woman also wanted to meet Elena and wanted to live with her too, but Elena still resisted the idea. In the end, Vivian only said that she would try to find a bigger house, and if that could happen, the three of them might be able to move in together.

Someone was standing in the middle of the mansion's stairs. With teary eyes, he looked at the people standing in the living room one by one. His eyes were not only filled with tears, but the two of them were also filled with fear and confusion. He looked lost and lonely even if he wasn't alone in the big building. Maybe the adults in the living room kept talking about Stanley before, but they probably forgot that the kid was also in the mansion the whole time, and they also weren't aware of the possibility that the innocent boy had heard everything from the second floor. But maybe Steen was aware of the possibility, but he simply didn't care at all. That was why he looked away from the boy before saying, "Let's go." Both words were aimed at Vivian and Elena, like how he had suggested the three of them leave the mansion immediately. But neither Vivian nor Elena moved from their positions even after hearing the order, and they both focused their

Steen somehow could not directly answer his father's question this time. He was still grinding his teeth to suppress his anger, but no words could come out of his mouth at this moment. Recalling the disgusting memory, he remembered how he did not find any used condoms in the hotel room, and it was easy to tell that he had done it without any protection the night before. He wasn't even sure if it was because he couldn't think straight when he did it or maybe it was Kate's intention, but he was sure there weren't any used condoms in the hotel room at the time. He wasn't stupid, and that was why he could see the possibility of her being pregnant after they had a such activity that night, and it was also the reason why he hated that kid called Stanley so much. Even if he didn't try to find evidence that Stanley was indeed his son, he could see the similarities the boy had with him, and it had the power to terrify him. Because of that, he had alway
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 300. THE DISGUSTING MEMORY
Kate had been dragged from the mansion by the police, and even the man named Peter had also been caught by the police. Hence, only four people were left in the living room after Marlon also left the place. There were only Steen, Stefan, Vivian, and Elena in the living room. Everyone still ignored the presence of plush sofas in the living room as they preferred to remain standing rather than sitting comfortably. They all even continued to stand like statues. Even Steen who previously looked the calmest of them, now looked shaken after hearing what Kate proudly said before being dragged away by the police. "I always knew that the child was not mine," Stefan muttered breaking the tense silence in the living room. “I always knew about it, but I didn't expect the child to be yours, Steen. How are you going to explain it to me? Do you like your stepmother? You have treated her coldly all along, but you even got her pregnant with your child. I didn't expect yo

“Recently, that bitch doesn't dare to touch her phone because her phone is haunted by my mother, right? Ah! Even her fear should be enough to tell that she was scared because she had done something to my mother in the past, but I know that such a thing wouldn't be enough to prove that she was indeed a criminal. That's why I focused on finding something on her phones that were ignored by her out of fear in the past week. On one of her cellphones, I found enough evidence to land her in jail.” When everyone was speechless, it was Steen who continued to speak. Turns out that was his real plan. He didn't plan to pressure Kate so she would kill herself just like his mother did years ago, but he just wanted her to ignore her cell phone so he would get a chance to touch it. Yesterday Kate left the mansion without her cell phone, and Steen took the opportunity to look for more evidence in the cell phone. Finally, he found what he was looking for in one of her cell phones.

"SHUT UP! DON'T TALK NONSENSE IN MY HOUSE!" Kate immediately shouted at Peter, but even her voice sounded unsteady as she looked nervous as hell. Her voice was shaking, her pupils were trembling, and even her breathing was ragged. All eyes suddenly fell on the blonde woman, and it was finally Stefan who opened his mouth to respond to the woman, "Are you sure what he said was just nonsense?" Stefan also looked surprised after hearing what Peter had just said, but he still had time to ask the woman that question. At this moment, the woman no longer glared at the kneeling man, and instead, she stiffly shifted her gaze to Stefan. Stefan was her husband, and he was known for his strict and assertive personality. Many people were afraid of him, even Kate was afraid of him before they got married years ago. But today she somehow looked scared again when she had to face the old man even if the man was her spouse. “D-don't listen to what that

Steen had revealed everything. He had disclosed how Vivian and Elena were actually part of a family living far away from Haston City, but Elena was kidnapped by Lily and her husband two decades ago. At that time, the twins' parents died in a car accident, and little Vivian was found by a couple after the incident, and she was raised by the couple into adulthood. Steen deliberately did not mention how Sarah had purposely taken Vivian as her daughter instead of returning the child to her relatives, nor did he mention the name of the family Vivian and Elena came from. He didn't think that the information was necessary, and that's why he kept it a secret. And maybe Stefan really didn't need that information, and the story Steen had just uncovered had shocked the old man enough. His pair of eyes widened as he looked at the twins, but he still didn't say anything as he still couldn't overcome his shock. Steen could see how his father was stunned by

It was Marlon who had just entered the mansion, but this time he was not alone. His hand was holding another person's arm, and that person's hands were tied with a rope behind his back. After arriving at the living room, Marlon forced the person to kneel in front of the five people. One person looked confident after seeing the person's appearance in the living room, while three other people looked shocked and confused, then one person looked scared as her eyes widened when she saw the person who had just arrived in the living room with Marlon. "So, he's the person, Marlon?" It was Steen who looked confident upon seeing the person's arrival in the living room, and although his question was directed at Marlon, his eyes were glued to the figure kneeling in front of him. “Yes, sir,” Marlon immediately answered his boss's question. “His name is Peter Ford, and he works in a bar in town. He's the one who posted that anonymous article about you, sir.”
