41. A WHOLE NEW WORLD
Last Updated:
2023-01-06 08:00:33Elena Vester was a university student before she ran away from home, and it had been more than a month since she last attended class. In the contract Vivian signed, she agreed to attend class as Elena.
She knew that it would be too risky if she even needed to pretend to be Elena in college, but she couldn't help but feel tempted when she found out that she would be able to go to college if she pretended to be Elena.
Vivian always loved to study, and she was also a bright student when she was in high school. She even dreamed of becoming a doctor, and she was actually accepted by one of the medical schools in Barden, but she had to give up her dream when her mother suddenly fell ill and needed a lot of money for treatment.
Hence, when Vivian saw an opportunity for her to go to college even if she needed to assume another identity, she chose to take the opportunity rather than let it go.
Sure enough, she still remembered that when Tommy suddenly asked her th

Vivian had never played golf because that was one of the expensive sports, but she was now in a golf cart that was speeding past a large grass field that resembled a golf course. A driver was driving the golf cart while she sat behind the driver, and she had to keep herself from gasping when she saw the area of Dahl's mansion.It seemed she heard from someone in the past that a house could be called a mansion if it was over 5,000 square feet in size. Even if Vivian couldn't measure it accurately, she could guess that the area of Dahl's mansion was over 10,000 square feet, and when she could finally see a large white building where the car was headed, she could guess that the large building was probably over 6,000 square feet only for the ground floor.She could actually see the massive building now, and it was a colonial mansion screaming luxury around every corner. When the golf cart finally stopped moving and she got out of it, she could see a large swimming pool in

Steen Dahl.That man was so unpredictable. Last night he had bullied her before leaving her alone in the hotel, and it turned out that he had only returned to the Dahl mansion this morning.Where had he gone last night when he didn't immediately return to the mansion after leaving Vivian in the hotel alone?Perhaps the question had crossed Vivian's mind for a moment, but she didn't want to think about it as she was more focused on the other piece of information she had just obtained from Kate Dahl.The blonde woman had just told her that Steen had indeed returned to the mansion this morning, and the man had also told his parents that he had a great time with Vivian at the hotel last night.What kind of bullshit was that? Steen was just bullying her without seeking any pleasure for himself, so how could he say that he had a great night last night?But maybe that psycho had gotten satisfaction from bullying her last night, and that was why he

"Oh? Are you curious about... Steen's mother, Elen?"Vivian was still focusing her blue eyes on the gold photo frame on the wall, but then she looked startled after hearing the question from the woman standing next to her.It was as if the woman's photo had become the center of attention among the other photos in the spacious living room. It was framed in the largest frame, and that was why Vivian focused her attention after Kate finished explaining the rooms in the mansion.Now, the pair of blue eyes turned to the older woman, and their owner asked, "The woman in the photo is... Steen's mother?" She looked confused before she once again glanced at the large picture frame hanging on the wall. "What do you mean, Mrs. Dahl? Aren't you Steen's mother?"Perhaps it was her fault for not asking Tommy for details about the Dahl family before she officially joined the family as a daughter-in-law. The curly man only briefly explained the general facts related to t

“It seems you enjoyed chatting with your mother-in-law,” Steen coldly opened up the conversation between the two of them. “Did she say that she was happy to have a daughter-in-law in this mansion? Is that why you feel welcomed in this mansion?”The two of them had left the living room, and Kate was not with them. Vivian still didn't know the mansion, and that was why she could only follow Steen when the man said they would talk in the room they would use from now on.It was Steen's bedroom, and even when Vivian had just entered the room, she could already smell the scent of the man in the room. It was full of Steen's cold and unfriendly demeanor, and the man standing in front of her didn't make her feel any better about how bitter his tone was as he interrogated her.She could see how Steen's body was wrapped in the dark blue suit instead of the black he had worn yesterday, and she knew that the man had showered and changed after returnin

Luckily, Steen didn't actually break any of her bones this time.After voicing a threat, the man immediately withdrew his hand from her neck before he once again opened his mouth to speak, “I'm going on a business trip for a few days, and I have to go to the airport tomorrow morning. You are my wife, right? Do you know what you must do?”As Vivian was still trying to catch her breath and shake off the heat she felt on her neck, she had already received another chill from the black-haired man.Her hands held her neck as if she was afraid the man would launch a sneaky attack to completely break her neck, and she continued to stare at the man with her pair of hateful eyes as she replied, “I have to pack your clothes so you can immediately take them with you for your business trip tomorrow.”Vivian confidently answered Steen's question, but the man didn't look satisfied with her answer as he frowned before saying, “Just two minut

'Is he a mini version of that poisonous man? Or perhaps... this child is his?'The person who suddenly appeared in the room did have a face similar to Steen's, but his body was much smaller than that man.When Vivian looked at the boy carefully from head to toe, she could see many similarities between the boy and Steen. The same shoulder-length black hair, the same oval-shaped face, the same pair of brown eyes, the same straight nose, and even their lips that continued pursing looked similar.That was why Vivian thought the child might be Steen's son. After all, she had no information about whether or not Steen had ever married before he finally married her. Steen was already thirty-eight years old, so it was possible that the guy was married and even had kids, right?Vivian suddenly looked nervous when she saw that possibility. 'Don't tell me Steen's wife also lives in this house. She definitely wouldn't like Steen's second wife, would she?'
Last Updated : 2023-01-09I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 48. NOT REAL BROTHERS
The boy named Stanley was not seen in the bedroom after his mother asked him to go back to his room. The boy, of course, didn't want to obey his mother's orders so easily, and he even kept saying that Vivian wasn't a good person and shouldn't live with them in the mansion.Seeing how her son kept behaving in front of Vivian, Kate looked embarrassed before finally calling a maid and asking her to take the boy back to his room. Yes, Stanley was forced to return to his room even if he continued to struggle when the maid held him down, and that was why he was not seen in Steen's bedroom anymore.At this time, Kate looked awkward as she stood in front of Vivian. “I'm sorry, Elen,” she once again apologized. “Stanley loves his brother very much, and that's why he is so protective of him. When he sees others being close to his brother, he always acts like that, and that's why I hope you don't think too much about what he says to you.”To be hone

The dining table in the dining room was so long. Vivian even thought that if two people sat at either end, they might not be able to hear each other's voices very clearly.Of course, that was an extreme analogy, but Vivian still believed that the size of the table would only distance not only people's physiques but also their hearts.As Kate had told her today, she did not skip dinner tonight, and that was why she had sat down in one of the empty seats at the table. Her expression was stiff after she learned a lot of new things in the mansion today, and perhaps the only good thing she received was the news she got from the hospital.One of the nurses in the hospital called her just an hour before dinner time, saying that her mother was awake, and her condition was also stable. The nurse also said that someone paid the hospital more money to take extra care of her mother, and that was why she shouldn't worry about her mother's condition.Of course, Vivian

I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 304. NO LONGER A PROSTITUTE, NO LONGER A SUBSTITUTE
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.
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 302. SMALLER BUT WARMER
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
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 299. HE'S OUR SON
“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.
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 298. KATE'S AFFAIR
"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
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 297. TRUTH AFTER TRUTH
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
I'm a Prostitute, Not a Substitute 296. THE CULPRIT
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.”
